Fishing Procedures | A L C R Y S T

Winter has frosted Alcryst like the cold blush of a corpse, hardening every surface with frigid ice searing through the depths of its heart. The plants are lethargic and slow, the sky is desaturated and dull, and the wind is a violent gale ripping apart flesh and soil alike.

Fishing Procedures

Suns reflecting off the wind-blown waves dance into the eyes of lounging fishermen, their lines cast into the deep and their minds idle as time passes. Beneath the surface dart schools of glimmering fish, skimming above sea monsters that lurk far into the darkness.

[PTab=Rules]

You must read the Domestication guide before proceeding to understand meals.
To fish, a character must be a licensed fisherman and own a fishing pole, fishing line, and at least 1 basic bait item from a Galleria merchant. You need only ever purchase a single fishing pole. Fishing line, however, has the chance to break and may need to be replaced occasionally. Each attempt to acquire a small fish requires its own bait, as described below.
There are 4 types of fish: small, medium, large, and colossal. A contribution must be chosen for the fish's actual appearance. Though "fish" is used as the term, any aquatic creature is acceptable. Each size requires its own version of bait, offers its own unique benefits, and has a varying chance of breaking your fishing line:

Small Fish

Meals: 1
Perks: None.
Bait: 1 bait purchase from Galleria. You must use a contribution for your bait.
Procedure: Staff roll a dice with 3 sides. Dice face 1 results in success, face 2 results in nothing, and face 3 results in your fishing line breaking.

Medium Fish

Meals: 2
Perks: Consumer receives 1 stat upgrade of the roleplayer's choice.
Bait: 1 small fish.
Procedure: Staff roll a dice with 5 sides. Dice face 1 results in success, faces 2-3 result in nothing, and faces 4-5 result in your fishing line breaking.

Large Fish

Meals: 3
Perks: Consumer receives 2 stat upgrades of the roleplayer's choice.
Bait: 2 small fish or 1 medium fish.
Procedure: Staff roll a dice with 8 sides. Dice face 1 results in success, faces 2-4 result in nothing, and faces 5-8 result in your fishing line breaking.

Colossal Fish

Meals: 4
Perks: Consumer receives 3 stat upgrades of the roleplayer's choice. The fisherman receives 10 coins from the guts of the fish, deposited directly into their IC account if this fish size is successfully acquired.
Bait: 1 small cattle purchased from a farmer.
Procedure: Staff roll a dice with 10 sides. Dice face 1 results in success, faces 2-5 result in nothing, and faces 6-10 result in your fishing line breaking.

Basic bait items purchased from a merchant may only be used once, regardless if you successfully catch a fish. Small and medium fish utilized as bait are only considered used and removed from your inventory if you successfully catch a fish. If your line breaks, you automatically lose any bait, including small or medium fish, that were attached.
To fish, create a thread in Saccharine Port using the label "Fishing" with a 200-400 word IC post describing your character's attempt. Include which size fish you are pursuing and which form of bait you are using. Next, post in Invocation to alert staff. You must also notify the fish and bait contribution creators by posting in their threads with a link to your fishing attempt. A staff member will follow the procedure corresponding to the fish size you have selected.
The perks of consuming a fish apply solely to horses.
You may fish every 48 hours.
