Mechanics

After a certain time interval, which depends on the rod (the better it is, the smaller the interval), an attempt is made to catch a fish with a chance that is calculated by the formula:

Baits

* rewards in case of a successful catch

Rods

Penalty * the fishing duration counter resets at 6:00 (UTC+3)

On a successful catch the player receives:
1. XP and SP
The final value is calculated from the base one, which depends on the bait, taking into account modifiers:
> rates for the player's current level
> Premium Account (+30%)
> rod bonus (from 0% to +35%)
> Master's Fishing Potion (1-hr) (+30%) — a potion that is bought from Santiago for Coin of Luck x3
> Absolute Catfish Legends (+10%) — a bonus of a special skill for getting into the top-10 of the fishermen rating

The following multipliers do not apply:
> Vitality
> party bonus
> runes

Examples

Example No. 1
A level 61 character:
> XP rate — x1
> bait Sheep Bait (61 lvl):
>> 40%
>> 100,000 XP
>> 10,000 SP
> rod Cygnus Pole (A-grade):
>> bonus XP — 8%
>> bonus chance — 5%
> fifth hour of fishing — x0.5 (penalty)
> without PA — x1 (no bonus)
> without potion — x1 (no bonus)
> without buff — x1 (no bonus)
Chance to catch a fish: (40% (bait chance) + 20% (A-grade lure chance) + 5% (rod bonus chance)) * x0.5 (penalty) = 32.5%
XP: 100,000 * 1 (XP rate) * 1.08 (rod bonus XP) * 1 (PA bonus) * 1 (potion bonus) * 1 (buff bonus) = 108,000
SP: 10,000 * 1 (XP rate) * 1.08 (rod bonus XP) * 1 (PA bonus) * 1 (potion bonus) * 1 (buff bonus) = 10,800

Example No. 2
A level 77 character:
> XP rate — x0.5
> bait Sheep Bait (76 lvl):
>> 55%
>> 200,000 XP
>> 20,000 SP
> rod Master Fishing Rod (Stage 1) (S-grade):
>> bonus XP — 15%
>> bonus chance — 10%
> third hour of fishing — x1 (no penalty)
> with PA — x1.3 (bonus)
> with potion — x1.3 (bonus)
> with buff — x1.1 (bonus)
Chance to catch a fish: (55% (bait chance) + 20% (S-grade lure chance) + 10% (rod bonus chance)) * x1 (no penalty) = 85%
XP: 200,000 * 0.5 (XP rate) * 1.15 (rod bonus XP) * 1.3 (PA bonus) * 1.3 (potion bonus) * 1.1 (buff bonus) = 213,785
SP: 20,000 * 0.5 (XP rate) * 1.15 (rod bonus XP) * 1.3 (PA bonus) * 1.3 (potion bonus) * 1.1 (buff bonus) = 21,379

2. One of two possible types of fish (50%/50%)
The quality depends on the level of the learned Fishing Expertise skill (the higher — the better).
