Pharaoh: 'afternoon.

kuupid: so today is the last day of T5?

Pharaoh: Well, we're in the last 24 hours of T5 anyway. T6 Saturday at Noon!

Waerloga: teppy, could we get mentoring early in T6 so we can work on retaining more trial players?

(Question unanswered)

Pharaoh: Hey, so someone had a question about fishing.

Taemon: Yeah, fishing. The leveling system seems to be bugged.

Pharaoh: How so?

Blueshift: Yes the leveling system. it's a mystery! how do you gain levels?

Pharaoh: First off, has anyone gained a level?

Wampak: am at 26 fishing atm

InambaGuum: here's how leveling fishing skill progressed for me: to go from fly fishing 1 to fly fishing 2 took probably about 5k casts (an extremely large number). going from fly fishing 2 to fly fishing 7, however, took about 10 casts. so the question is: what's up with that?

Pharaoh: Here's how it works (and seeing that, looks like some serious adjustment is needed!)... It's based solely on the number of fish that you have caught... Every 14 days the system says "Time to release a new level of fishing"

DisShovel: for each individual or globally

Pharaoh: Globally. It looks at the top 21 fishermen ranked by # of fish caught... And assumin the #21 person's fish count is higher than the threshold for the last released level, that's the new level requirement.If it isn't, then it re-checks 24 hours later.

InambaGuum: so it keeps getting more and more expensive globally?

Pharaoh: Yes

Drakkett: so if only 20 ppl are fishing, it never goes up either?

Pharaoh: Correct

(Edited out useless chatter)

InambaGuum: there were a lot of arguments and frustration over that this telling

(Edited out useless chatter)

Pharaoh: Though I now have lots of data on # of fish caught, # of kinds of fish caught, etc :D

Drakkett: and I didn't fish until later in tale

Pharaoh: Hehehe

InambaGuum: some fish are uncatchable without higher level FF skill,

Pharaoh: Right

Gumby: levels built up so that you got a level on every fish caught to catch up on your level, and the level system was bugged for a long time so that first point increase for anyone was a few months into the tale

DisShovel: but you never produce at a higher rate... okkay...

InambaGuum: it's pretty much essential to have higher than FF1 if you want to do banquet. banquet menus called for a disproportionate number of rare fish relative to other ingredients.
