Did you loot all the things that you got or did you not pick up anything?Ahoy there mateys!
Are you tired of chunking grenades for 4-5 hours at South idol just to get trash Skull chests?
Are you tired of fishing for hours, just for parrot fish to keep stealing your lures?
Are you not getting enough famed or legendary for the work that you put in?
If you said yes to any of these, then we have just the right stuff for you... for only $29.99 + s&h...
jk... back to the topic.
I have been in the same ragged boot as you guys, as i cannot stand fishing for more than 10 minutes at a time, but i do want some shiny famed and Lost sword of el patron. Nevertheless i do not want to spend 20% of my day in catching virtual fishes.
Recently i stumbled upon a technique which dramatically boost your chances to get famed from fishing, and shows results within minutes! i have been testing this method for the past week, but i have only recorded the results from my last 2 tries because i wasn't sure before if this method is consistent.
As show in the screenshot shown below, i have recorded the time i started fishing, which was at 5:34 AM

And sure enough, here we have my 1st famed of the day at 5:38 AM, within 4 minutes! not bad eh

Fast forward 21 minutes, we have the 2nd famed of the day! Alas its a repeat. 2 famed in 25 minutes of work! Not bad at all eh?

I was pity sure my streak would continue, because i had made sure i had high enough chance of getting good loot so i kept continued fishing.

And here we have Lost sword at 6:16 AM, within 40 minutes of me starting fishing!
So how did i foreshadowed my luck and record my initial time...?
I wanted to further validate my findings and told few fellow pirates to test it with me the next day. so here we have me starting fishing at 4:01 AM, and sure enough we have our famed within 20 minutes! And the mateys also found their respective famed within 30 minutes using my method.

So whats the trick you ask?? It's a simple 2 step process that substantially increases your odds of obtaining famed or even a legendary while fishing. All you have to do is put in couple hours of work. so here it is.
Step 1: The main idea behind the method is for you to you get as much bad luck with loot as possible in the beginning, which will enhance your chances of getting better loot as time goes by. We will be hoping to get as many trash skull chest possible, to increase our odds. What better place to get those other than South Idol? we all know that place is famous for dropping Skull chests like peanuts, but most of them are trash anyway.
This will work as our advantage, The longer you stay and the more skull chest you get denotes to the higher chances of getting good haul in fishing, but within minutes, so you don't have to waste hours fishing.
I have been putting the trick to test for a about a week, and been looting at south idol for varied time span such as for 30 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hour.Try to stay untill you get atleast 15 or more skull chests. (15+ is recommended for this method to be effective)
[EDIT] Further testing has revealed that, 15+ skull chests is not compulsory, but looting for at least 1 hour 30 minutes is highly recommended, and has produced consistent results.
Step 2: After you have spent some time at south idol, and hopefully you have seen decent amount of trash skull chest, if you have gotten famed, which is less likely for most of us in such short time, bully for ya! if not lets go catch some fish.
Some Important notes to consider for effectiveness of this method:
- Fish on the same server as you were looting on.
- Only use regular lure.
- I have gotten consistent results fishing at Padres Del fuego. If you fancy fishing at other place, then its up to you.
- Once you start fishing, you must stay in the same spot for at least an hour, if you did not find anything good, then you can switch spot on your ship ( i have gotten famed within few fishes after switching spot)
- Make sure to stock up on lures before you start fishing, going to town to restock might reset your chances.
- Try to catch all large fish, but prioritize Coelenterate and Sand tiger shark as most of the loots within minutes has been from those 2.
- Your odds of getting famed while fishing solely depends on the number of trash skull chests you get, thus the longer you loot, the more skull chests will drop for you!
- LV 20 fishing is recommended for this method to work.
- Crashing while looting does not affect your chances as long as you stay in one constant server. However crashing while fishing may have a slight affect on your odds of getting famed ( i have managed to get 3 famed after a crash)
- If you manage to get famed while looting at step 1, you still maybe able to get famed while fishing, given you stay long enough and get considerable amount of trash skull chest to subdue your previous winning.
- [EDIT]Any place with high skull chest drop rate, such as South Idol and Gold room are recommended for this method to work.
- [EDIT] It seems crashing while fishing may affect your probability to get famed, it takes a bit longer than usual.
- [EDIT] The large fishes at the way bottom seems to have high probability to drop good loot.
I have been utilizing my method for 5 days, and since then, below is all the loot i have hauled from fishing. most have been caught within 20 minutes, and the maxed i have fished for is 1 hour, looting at least 1 famed per day.
I will try this method once everyday and keep you posted with the results to validate it's consistency.
Please join the effort and try this method for yourself. Make sure to share your results as we validate this further!
[EDIT] Keep up with this post as i will be documenting any new findings as we work to validate this method further.
Fare winds mateys and may the RNGJesus watch over you!
