About whales and Sharks

[Ciel]

Do you flake them first or just dump it into the barrel. I am wondering what I can do with them other than that.

Edit : I caught the whales. Lol

I was thinking of offering it to Ehekalt. Offering a whale would be overkill would it ?

[󠀡󠀡]

Dumping them directly into fermenting barrels and turning them into wine increases their selling price. Flaking anything above Tuna weight seems to be a waste.

There is a maximum offering value with diminishing returns when it comes to sacrificing to gods, but I also never sacrificed a whale to Ehekatl.

Besides what was already said sacrificing a whale ends up wasting a good 70-80% of the Whale's weight value for a sacrifice.

Anything valued at or above pufferfish should be sold or made into wine. Everything else can become flakes. Bonito flake wine has a fixed value and does not take fish flake types into account.

Sacrificing a Whale would be an incredible overkill of Piety value, much would be lost.
According to the wiki, the Piety gain for most things is 100 x weight (s).
Yet the maximum value of a single item in an offering batch is 1,000.
This would be a weight of 10.0s.
Considering a Whale weighs 1200.0s, that's not really a worthwhile offering.
Sharks would also be overkill.
Heck, even a Moonfish (14.0s) would have nearly 1/3 of its value wasted.
Sunfish (9.5s) should be fine, though it'd still be best to offer those one at a time, due to the other Piety gain limits.
Sunfish are kind of at that sweet spot of heavy weight, yet not being overly valuable to make a nice offering.

According to the research done here[ylvapedia.wiki], Bonito Flake Wine is worth 30, and since you get 4-5 per fish, anything worth more than 135 is better off going directly into the barrel. So Deep Sea Fish, Ancient Fish, Shark, Whale, Moonfish, and Coelacanth should go into the barrel, everything else should get sawed. Sunfish is very slightly higher value, but it's probably not worth spending the stamina for 1 extra oren.

I caught a shark and put him into chest next to me in my base lake, I grilled it on the BBQ grill and ate the whole thing.
