Fishing Leaderboards
Accessibility TLDR:
Every day, three fishing creatures, an NPC, and a location are randomly chosen for users to compete against each other on. Users can see which options are chosen by viewing the fishing-leaderboards channel in DMC or through the /fish leaderboard command. Scores on each leaderboard are made up of a mix of data, including things like the number of fish caught, the number of variants caught, the size of the creatures, and more. The top user on each leaderboard at the end of the day receives fishing boosts and a special title.
The /fish leaderboard command gives you a chance to compete against other users while fishing. Every day, there is a leaderboard for one location, one NPC, and three fish that you can compete to be #1 on. The leaderboard choices for the day are announced in the #fishing-leaderboards channel in the Dank Memer Community Server and are visible in the /fish leaderboard command.
The scores on the leaderboard can be hard to understand at first since they are not purely based on the time spent with an NPC or the number of fish caught, and many details can factor into your ranking.
For the Creature Leaderboards, the scores factor in the total number you caught, the number of high-quality variants, and who caught the biggest one. The biggest catch of the day for a creature has a major impact on the score, and you could be beaten by someone who caught fewer fish if they have the largest catch of the day.
For the Location Leaderboard, the scores are based on your total catches at a location for the day, and it factors in the number of bosses and variants you caught as well. So if you catch more fish but someone else catches more bosses, they could have a higher score on the location leaderboard than you. The location scores also take into account who caught the biggest fish that day at that location, and catching the biggest fish can give you a big advantage.
For the NPC Leaderboards, the scores are based on your total reputation for the NPC as well as how many interactions or visits you’ve had with them during the day. Your overall reputation with the NPC makes a huge impact on your score, so if an NPC hates you, you can lose even if you have more interactions than anyone else.
You can check your progress throughout the day with the /fish leaderboard command, and scores are updated every hour. If you are struggling, remember to look for skills you can upgrade to help you advance in the rankings, or try using something like Weighted Bait to help you catch heavier creatures.
The winner each day will receive a DM announcing they’ve won, fishing boosts for the next 24 hours, and a special title. All rewards are given instantly, so you don’t have to claim anything.
