Fishing related commands ONLY work in fishing activated channels (ask your guild admin) The commands are:
$cast $bucket $fishoff $tacklebox $fishbaseThe fishing game is cross-server so your will be competing with all other servers woodhouse is in.
$cast throws your line, and you have a certain percent chance to get something. There is a one minute spam cooldown. If you fish every minute your chances of catching something will be extremely low, waiting around an hour gives the fisher the average success chance, waiting longer (up to a certain point) yields better chances.
Every fish has a weight range it can be. To make it more fun instead of just numbers your fish weight will appear as a prefix in the name (tiny-small-medium-large-big-huge). Some fish are rarer than others and the rarity of the fish is indicated by the outline of the portrait (green-blue-yellow-orange-red). Unique fish are purple.
Every fish gives your profile XP, your profile can be viewed along with your currently held top 10 fish with the $bucket command. As you increase in level your chances of failure will decrease in small increments.
When you get a duplicate of a fish you already have the smaller one will get sold and yield Bells a.k.a money. Bells will also be earned from other sources including catching unique/shiny fish, and winning the competition. (Beware that bells as of this writing still has no real use, but it will be in future updates)
$fishoff command will list the leaderboard for the current season each fisher will have their biggest fish listed. The season ends at midnight on the turn off the month Woodhouse localtime (CEST), consult the $whoami command to see the server localtime. The winner will be rewarded price bells and also immortalized in a winner scoreboard(not displayable atm), and all fishers will have their buckets emptied of fish and it starts over again.
$fishbase <name of the fish> will give list the encyclopedia entry for that fish and also give the current world record and also list what fishers currently have that fish in their bucket along with some other information.
There are seven classes of fish. Each class has one or two unique fish that yield a bigger xp/bells reward when caught, some of them can be quite large but some of them can be quite small considering the classes etc. Each unique fish can ONLY be caught ONCE per season by any fisher.
There is a small chance (1% or less) that any fish can result in a shiny version. A shiny rewards the catcher instantly with bells price, and a shiny has the potential of being a much larger version of its normal counterpart, it should be noted that even if a fish is shiny it can still be a "TINY" (i.e in the lower weight spectrum of its kind) however getting a "HUGE" shiny will almost certainly yield a world record fish.
Every now and then a school can appear and will increase the chances of getting the indicated class for a short period of time, there is also a special school that randomly sets the class chances into a mess.
