Talk:Fish Ranking
From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia
Who and where is the NPC for this? --Syeria 00:47, 30 April 2006 (PDT)
I would answer this qustion, but after doing a small bit of research, I have no idea who it is >.< --Rixie 17:25, 1 May 2006 (PDT)
NPC
The NPC is in the fishing guild in Selbina. Exact name escapes me, but she is wearing the fisherman apron if I remember right
Thanks, I think that should be enough for me to find them, some people had told me it was in bibiki, and one other person even said Carpenters Landing I think.
I'd say that this page needs a bit of clean up... having text that says "trade a fish to me" for example isn't an explanation of the rules, its a copy of what the NPC says. --EndrilRM 13:38, 24 November 2006 (EST)
I spent some time today and cleaned up the page. I added a whole bunch of information so that now somebody will actually understand what fish ranking is. Hope this helps ^^ --Spops 12:20, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
Schedule
The About section reads:
"Contest entries for Fish Ranking will be accepted for a period of two weeks (Earth time). After the competition is over, the results will be announced for the next two-week period. This cycle will continue so that the event is held twelve times a year."
That covers 48 weeks. There are 52 weeks in a year, plus a day (or two on a leap year). Is the event actually held thirteen (13) times a year? Is there some extra slack built in somewhere so that the event occurs around a monthly schedule rather than simply a weekly one? Or are there four weeks during which the event does not run? In any case, the current statement seems flawed. -- Trahern 13:53, 22 August 2007 (CDT)
Does anyone know how long the announcements last after they stop accepting fish for the contest?
Rules?
When looking for the smallest fish; IE: [Im] and [Pz] added together, how does that calculation work exactly? The contest rules I am currently in are for smallest length and size. I've got one fish 75Im/385Pz, and another fish 76Im/376Pz. I'm confused as to which I should turn in. What's the better in this situation? I'm very cloudy on the rules when combining length/size.
I'm not very experienced with Fish Ranking (just doing my first), but the score I was given for my "catch the lowest length and weight fish" was just length+weight. So you should probably have gone with the second one, but you could trade both and see which gets a higher score to confirm it. Evilpaul 03:24, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
