Fishing Contests. Give Hunters Call some Love, Rare

    Like the weekly Gold Hour event, Rare should create a fishing contest event schedule.

    Once/Twice a week at different hours available to everyone (EU / NA / AUS etc).

    Start from scratch (players participating launch a ship at the proper build up (5 minutes before start). Players checkbox a ship before sailing intending to participate. (This is to prevent players from cheesing/fishing before the hour(s) start).

    Players have X amount of time to fish and sell their fish to a vendor. (In open world, not Safer Seas). Yes, other players can interfere in the normal game world (or help you - if diplomacy works).

    Players added to the contest ledger for that day (chronicled in history after event is over for players to brag/look-back).

    Winners get prizes. Participants get gold rewards regardless of how well they do.

    Prizes could include a choice of a rare fish added to their inventory upon completion/winning (to help them progress in some of the commendation).

    Each fish and type have different values to make things a bit interesting.

    I like the idea of fishing contests but I would go full fishing and add in RNG fish sizes to make it more immersive and fun (imo)

    With hints for spots with better rng for big ones.

    They could add a weight emissary ledger based on individual fishing for overall weight caught per month of fish. Individual so that everyone can enjoy it and not just coordinated crews.

    I think it'd be neat if they made a new megalodon variant that only appears as a shared world event where crews compete to gain something from slaying it. Maybe the item is more likely to summon the kraken until it's sold

    I had thought of this before, but maybe they could add hunts to the hunters' call. They would basically act as voyages. With these hunts, you track and hunt a range of new animal bosses. Maybe a huge boar, a giant snake, or something of the sort. You would eliminate the beast and bring back whatever it drops to a hunters call representative.

    @lord-spark-0 I agree maybe add some new creatures that only spawn as hunting quests you can get from Hunters Call or special fishing quest where you need to fish up specific fish and bring them in and for PL type quests you need to hunt down megs or krakens that spawn due to quests in locations with a change up to their fights

    I do like the idea of a fishing spiced up daily “gold hour.”

    Contest is ok but only if its done like the emissary ledgers with tiers and not a prize only for the top 3, which would always be the same people with no life.

    A fishing contest would be fun, but they don't need all these checks since the code can just start counting catches at certain time and stop when it is over.
