Stanglethorn Fishing Extravaganza Guide!

[lolipopp]

Okay since I am blind (somewhat literally speaking) I tried to use the button macro that put your fish count on your hotbar if you wanted to view it there instead of looking in the inventory.

Put that in a macro and stick it on your hotbar. But, like I said, with poor vision and the fact I like my hotbar small, I could not see the count. So I wanted to make a TellMeWhen counter for this. Took me a bit to figure it out, but I wanted to share in case others wanted something similar (simply use TMWs import feature to include the following trackers you want):

Keefer's Angelfish:

^1^T^SStackMinEnabled^B ^SType^Sitem ^SOnlyInBags^B ^SStackMin^N1 ^SName^S19805 ^SStackMax^N40 ^SEnableStacks^B ^SEnabled^B ^t^N61501^S~`~| ^Sicon^^

Speckled Tastyfish:

^1^T^SStackMinEnabled^B ^SType^Sitem ^SOnlyInBags^B ^SStackMin^N1 ^SName^S19807 ^SStackMaxEnabled^B ^SEnableStacks^B ^SEnabled^B ^SStackMax^N40 ^t^N61501^S~`~| ^Sicon^^

If you want to test this with fish prior to the tournament, change the number 19805 or 19807 to the item number of the fish you want to track (Raw Rainbow Fin Albacore is 6361, for example).

Thanks for this! will be put on guide for more experienced players. (the guide was mainly for new players)

Nice guide, it certainly does not look half-assed. But you really NEED to include fishing in northern stanglethorn for at least horde. Its such a long stretch of open coast with no mobs. I never consider fishing anywhere else because its also less crowded. I only ever tried winning the fishing contest once, and when I did, I won it in northern stranglethorn.

Great write-up. In depth enough for any new f2p's to know where to go and how to get where they need to be!
I've been trying to get that damn twink hat for several weeks now. I'm at 300 fishing skill, but while fishing in pools I have NEVER caught a SINGLE tasty fish. Obviously, I don't care too much about winning the extravaganza... I'm just worried that this also has something to do with me not being able to catch Keefer's Angelfish. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? This is starting to get pretty frustrating. Cheers

You haven't caught a single tastyfish in a pool? Seems fishy... If you aren't catching tastyfish that
means you're fishing at the wrong time.

I wish my problem rested in the time that I have been fishing, but I know this is not the case. 2:00pm - 4:00pm (Server Time) for Tasty fish.

TLDR:

Grab a fishing stick and fish.

Not server time, Pacific Standard Time

For example, in California: fish from 2pm to 4pm, local time.

For example, New York: fish from 5pm to 7pm, local time.

Ahh, thanks for clearing that up for me.

I subbed my old account for a month. Fished inland starting at Grom Gol and headed toward lake. I won 1st in 13 minutes. only saw one other person fishing inland. It would take some team work for f2ps to fish these areas but having pools to yourself help get 40 fast.
