Fishing Statues? What does it take??

[Daezz0r]

Question to veteran fishermen, what does it take to catch Statues??

I haven't caught a single one in the entire lifetime of this char (or over probably 5k baits, if not more)
A single whale was the most valuable catch so far.

As for the stats:
Fishing at my main base; Forest, Basin, Fresh Air.
Located far North, base danger level was 36 iirc, with DemonInvoc at 62 meanwhile.
Fishing Lv 72.

My guess is that it's just RNG. By the time I had used up less than 2000 bait at my starting settlement I had already fished up two statues.

At around 5000 I had fished up 4 in total at least. Two of them at a new settlement that was Beach - Fishing Spot - Breeding Ground. My first 1000 bait there was only with Beach enabled.

My current fishing skill is only at: 79.70

Upgrade your luck at the policy menu maybe?

Hmm well, guess I'm just extremly unlucky then, despite serving Ehekatl

As a side note, here's a related post from someone who's done a lot more fishing than I have

If Land's luck does increase chances I should certainly do, but rn I'm low on gold bars and have other priorities ;/
Its just at 3, just checked.

Nvm. I don't think Land's luck affects fishing. I only found out land feat 'beach' allows you to fish out another fish at 20% rate and 'Fishing Spot' feat gives 25%.

Yeah, that's a somewhat decent bonus if fishing for money, which most, if not all, are doing.

Add feat "fishing spot" for another increase of said chance. Just noticed you edited accordingly

Boils down to pure RNG I guess

I've already done Beach + Fishing Spot up to 20k + bait.

You just need to fish, thats it. I've gotten a statue within 100 bait at the meadow. It also took ALL 5000k lot worth bait that I began testing last year. I also got 3 statues within a span of the next 1000 bait. Just keep fishing

put a lucky shrine and a lucky cat next to your fishing spot and stand ontop of your compostbin while throwing your rod in a big daddy figurine and have your 1st and 2nd statue at like level 27 fishing in the starting area.

I'm defenetly not starting over to try that

Here's the link for code analysis for fishing:
https://ylvapedia.wiki/wiki/Elin:Code_Analysis/Fishing

"A statue is generated if rnd(50) == 0"
"but it depends on the successful Platinum Coin roll"
Platinum Coin chance is "rnd(35) == 0"

So 1/35 x 1/50 = 1/1750.

But can get overridden by medal chance
"rnd(40) == 0 && rnd(40) < num / 3 + 10)"

I wrote this, so there's probably some errors. Your statue chance goes down as your fishing level goes up.

Do you have the link for the whole code? Like to see the fishing function.
