    Hey, try making a table with the results if you can spare the time, okay? It's always a cool read.

    Please tell me you didn't need to input all those coordinates by hand. :eek:

    yup, best bet to complete them is bag em up by the area they're in so you can fish up 125 before sailing on any real distance....beats sailing back and forth across the world!

    I never got how people "group them by area". Because you would have to click on each one and sort by hand. That's a lot of work. 2100??

    So what I do is get 100 of them, open them up, record their locations into the spreadsheet, and then fish them up. Clear my map and then start over. Is there an easier way?

    I believe the gist is, your character has to be holding the message scroll of the location you're trying to fish up.

    This makes juggling large quantities of MIB's a challenge unless you specifically group them.


    I use colored bags. So far north east of the map might be... "red" or w/e. Grab the right bag and work that zone. Then grab "blue"... etc.

    I see what you're doing here.... you're trying to single-handedly force @Chris to implement CUB. Well played, sir.

    @JohnM will you buy all of mine? Don't have but around 20, but if you'll buy, I will become your fishing slave!

    I will try to keep track of what I get - gold/gems/scrolls/mibs/nets, etc is always easier. The rest will work itself out. I'll try to estimate an hourly from that. With more mibs (I've done 600 and 1000 before), the hourly should be higher by a bit as I will essentially always be fishing up a mib.

    The details of getting this into UOAM - I first sorted by quadrant - NW,NE,SW,SE. Then, the next step was to sort each quadrant into bags by 30 degree increments, so 6 bags. While doing that, I entered the info into a spreadsheet. You don't need to enter the minutes into the spreadsheet, just the degrees. So I will be harvesting them in swaths, not having to switch bags a lot.

    So far to sort the mibs and get them into manageable quantities and enter into excel was about 10 hours.

    Besides CUB, this gets me close to the top of the leaderboard for mibs.

    Yeah, don't make something easy into something hard.
    The oceans easily divisible into areas, just do so, throw all mib's from one area into a backpack and repeat the process for other areas, that way when you set sail from the closest shoreline you don't have to sail for long before you start and once you start fishing, it'll take no time at all to fish them all up rather than zig zagging and back tracking randomly all over the ocean.

    Spreadsheet locations? dude....no. Keep It Simple, don't make work where none is needed.
    An hour or two sorting all those mibs would save days of sailing time in the long run.

    Dude.....stop...I don't get why everyone is fascinated with making so much extra work of running a spreadsheet to keep track....throw em in a backpack with others that are in the same area, done. Add a book or a rune labeled for where they are, or better yet just grab one and double click it to see where it is in the world

    I'm not using the spreadsheet to keep track of what I am doing. The spreadsheet converts the co-ords on the scroll to a UOAM location so I do not have to fumble around with finding the spot.

    Can i get a copy of your rune library for SOS spots?

    I forgot how I found this map (I did not create it or come up with the idea) but I had used this while doing Mibs before. I marked and labeled each rune 1, 2, 3... I never got too into mibs so I'm sure you guys have much more efficient ways, but whenever I grouped some mibs together, I would just open this map back up to see which number/shore is closest to that group and recall to it and set sail.
