Fishing Tournament: Sunday August 18th - Saturday 24th

Fishing Tournament: Sunday, Aug 18th – Saturday Aug 24th

Anyone can enter - no entry fee!
Over 500k in prizes and growing!!!
(80+ fishing offshore is required to catch a "Big Fish", tis by-catch of a sea serpent)​

The tournament is slotted where points are awarded to the angler given the fish’s slot size as follows:


Please note that slot sizes were corrected to accommodate all 5 weight ranges/fish types.

The top 3 point earners will be awarded prizes. Also anglers with the largest fish and smallest fish will be awarded prizes. Prizes are currently being determined and will be announced soon. Prizes are likely to grow during tournament.

New prize category: best fishing screenshot. UOR staff will select best screen shot winner.


Rules:
• The tournament will be held between Sunday August 18th and Saturday August 24th. All fish weighed in must have a datestamp on/between those dates.
(Note: datestamp is based on UOR server time, US Central, -5 GMT)
• Awards will be given on Sunday August 25th. Accommodations will be made to winners that cannot claim their prize on that day.
• Fish weighed in will be credited to the angler, not who turns. Anyone can submit fish for any angler. Angler must be present to claim winnings.
• Use as many fishers as you like. Again, fish is credited to angler marked on fish. (some players are using more than one fisher)
• No sign up required! Simply contact Zyler in IRC or Forum PM to submit your fish -OR- post a screen shot of your catch. DO NOT MOUNT FISH. Mounting a fish will erase datestamp. Fish will need to be verified to collect prize if not seen previously ingame. Fish weight will only be recorded. You keep your catch.

Notes on Fishing:
Fishing is used with a fishing pole or nets to catch fish (and other objects).
Raising Fishing: Fishing is a difficulty based.
0-65 - On land you will fish up Footwear, Magic Fish, and Normal Fish.
80+ - Sea Serpents (No SoS Message/MIBs), Special Fishing Nets. You can reel in "Big Fish" which can be used to make Trophies via Taxidermy Kits. (a mounted fish)
90+ - Treasure Maps
100 - Messages in a Bottle (aka MIB) / Waterstained SoS Message

You can get to 100% fishing on land, but deep sea fishing gives much faster skill gains.
Monsters will never spawn by fishing from land.

Fish for prize winners will need to be verified ingame. Mounting a fish will remove the datestamp so hold off on mounting if you are in contention.
