Full Fishing Guide
Fishing at first seems to be the second easiest way to make money, with the half an hourly pay coming in at a first. But have you ever wondered if it's worth the 1,000¥ you spend on the fishing rod? The answer I give to you is yes, it is kind of worth it and kind of not. Let me show you what I mean.
If you fish right now with a basic rod and no rain you have a good chance you will not catch anything of great value. My advice is to catch fish when it is raining and with an enchanted fishing rod if you can get your hands on an enchantment table. You can catch better and more frequent fish when it is raining so make sure to use /warp fishing when you see or hear the rain. Lastly, sell your Legendary fish at the auction for around 500¥, do that with Puffer Fish too because people like to buy rare things like that.
Edit: Mending rods can't be obtained anymore unless it is given to you by someone or you find one at auction. Credit: @iKawaiiPotato for the edit.
What I think
I believe the fishing rod price should lower by at least 100¥. Either that or raise the price of some of the fish, for example the commons, they usually only sell for 1¥ (Anything under 10 cm sell for 0). The Admins of School RP should really consider this because people would actually get their money's worth. (Again, mending rod is a different story.)
Evidence why fishing IS NOT worth it
The first thing I have to do is see how much the fishing pole is worth. On this server it's 1,000 yen. That's not much for a fishing pole to be honest. An average meal in Japan cost around 1,000-3,000 yen. So, so far not bad, now we have to factor in how much money we will be making. The Fishing Rod durability when bought is at a full 64. So we have 64 casts to make. Now we have to factor in the rarity of the fish we are going to catch and all of the probabilities so we can make the best estimate of how much we are going to make. To find that I had to do find out what the server's code was running and it was NOT fun trust me.
Now we're getting somewhere! Based on this I can now make a good estimate of how much we are going to make, and if the fishing rod is good or not. To do that we have to look at the prices at which they sell for.
Commons sell for 1¥ each except for Shrimp they sell for 0¥. So you are most likely going to eat them instead of selling them, but i'll add them in anyways because we NEED the money. Rares sell for around 35¥, epics sell for around 75¥, and legendaries sell for only around 115¥. By the POWER of math and science I present to you the answer..
Disclaimer: All of this information is ROUNDED, all fish are based on size not their rarity.
Save your money, and don't waste it on fishing rods!
I will be liking the first few comments btw. By commenting it helps out a lot!
One last thing, if I did anything wrong please tell me so I can fix it right away!
Thanks for reading!
