Silly text here

Don't know the numbers, but I got a couple of them while I was fishing for Hemopiranhas. There not that rare, but yeah, you know how the RNG is ...

[Jostabeere]

Your chance is around 2% to get it at fishing power at 100.

make sure you are in the right biome. Overlapping ones can be tricky. And yeah, random.

I needed close to 50 pirate invasions just to get Pirate staff. Got presumably as/much rarer coins and rings and creditcards 2..3 times each before that. Doing all my blood moons in ocean biome just to spam enough enemies to drop enough maps. Some serious grind there trying "just one more time". Crazy random. And it isn't even that great of a summon ;/

P.S. sonar potion

Run the game in multiplayer and do some browing in a second screen. ;)

You seem to misunderstand probabilities. Just because you got something more rare does not mean you must get something more common.
Every time you fish you roll a 1000-sided dice with every drop having a specific numbers of sides. You can figh 1.000.000 times and simply not getting those few sides you want, and get one same, much more rare side, every time.
Unlikely, but can happen.
Everything can happen.
Question: Why do you want the sword anyway? Any stronger beam sword with Ichor buff is... stronger. And easier to get.

How am i supposed to do that while i need to left click all the time and there is not a bug where you can afk fish like in minecraft?

With a Sonar Potion you'll see when the Bladetongue is biting and you have to double click at the other screen (once for focus, once to reel in).

Edit: Crystal Serpent is nice though. Imo more worth the trouble than for the Bladetongue.

^ yeah, the distribution of probabilities is another probability.

It's not a guaranteed 2/100. It's more like 2/100 in ~96% cases. Something like that with the normal distribution iirc. Which means you can have much worse results and there is nothing wrong with the math. Just a bad luck. But only with fishes this time. There is no general good/bad luck as far as science goes ;/

To be exact, it's 2/100 for infinite cases.

Simply get more fishing power. It is fairly easy to get 220 fishing power after 30 quests with safescumming.

[Xouless (Benji)]

use gnome my man
gnome boost luck :D

[mikeydsc]

There is a luck mechanic with new latest patch. Add the correct biome torches in your fishing holes to raise the stat. And remove any torches not biome specific otherwise they counter act each other.

The "fairly easy" is still 1 hour of doing these quests

Fish for hours and have bad luck or fish for less hours and have more than double the odds? You decide.

One could indeed argue this game has balance/playability issues.
I actually wrote a negative review because after defeating ridiculous easy Wall of flesh within like 10% of the underworld in my first ever Terraria game I landed in hardmode where 2..3 days later I got Skeletron prime and Blood moon at once just because game suggested I should go crash some altars. Worst of the mechanical bosses imo with horde event on top. Or was it werewolves night? Anyway. Then a while later I randomly fished Toxikarp and simply out of curiosity even though nothing suggested it tried it against another prime. Had a few heads from pirates by that point. And the fight went almost as ridiculous easy even though I have tried a few mythical staffs by that point which were basically all useless. So I deleted the review in the end.

This game is not bad per se. It's rather silly I guess. Dumb - sort of.

Quick question. Why is everyone say Skeleton prime is the hardest? Is it because of expert/master mode? Because i have of a problem with the 2 other mechanical bosses than prime.

ya, the twins destroyed me.
but dstroyer and skelprime are EZPZ with hallow armor...
though...
i beated them on journey, so my opinion doesnt count.
