Preview - the Arcane Angler's Fishing Derby event!

[Cinco]

And now for something completely different:
The Arcane Anglers Fishing Derby event runs for two weeks starting June 17th!

Visit Nevius in Windmoore town to pick up a fishing rod and some bait, then head over to Basilisk Basin to join in the fun!



+ Use bait to cast your rod in Basilisk Basin. Purchase additional bait from Nevius.
+ After making a cast with your fishing rod, play a mini-game to capture fish. Lose the game, the fish gets away.

FISHING Details

- When equipped, your Fishing Rod will show you the amount of Bait that you have left. When you run out of Bait, you'll need to buy more from Nevius.



- A 'rare fish region' will sometimes appear in Basilisk Basin. When it does, fish in that area for a chance to catch the most rare fish and the event crates.



- The 'rare fish region' will disappear after a few minutes and reappear somewhere else after some period of time.

Event Crates and Crafting

There are 2 event crates you can collect by fishing in rare regions during the event:

The Pirate's Purse contains gold, platinum, jewels and elixirs. You could win a little, or a lot (up to 12,000 gold or 25 platinum). Let's hope your pirates were successful in finding their booty!
Unlocked - free to open!



The Pirate King's Coffers contains some impressive loot indeed!
Locked - requiring 5 Platinum to open.



Open these for a chance to collect Arcane Death Engine weapons and armor, gold up to 100,000, platinum up to 150, along with the recipes for a variety of fish oil elixirs that can be crafted from the fish you catch!



These elixirs will grant temporary buffs to boost your power, XP, and more when you return to Arlor!

Tame Terracuda Fish Oil will give you +50% Damage for 10 minutes.
Enraged Terracuda Fish Oil gives +75% Damage for 5 minutes.
Octosyn Fish Oil will give you 2X Experience for 10 minutes.
Mindwarp Octosyn gives you 3X Experience for 5 minutes.

These 'burst' Elixirs all stack, and they all count down everywhere - so use them strategically to get the most out of their effects.

Happy Fishing, Legends!
