Dunkleosteus: Chance at dropping?[edit]

Just checking, but re: your edit to Dunkleosteus: it's only a chance, and not guaranteed? I only caught 4 which is a TINY sample size, but each of them gave bones and fangs. I know it didn't say anything about bones+fangs until I added it, but the original drops were added by Tolkyria (hi!) and it looks like he was just updating all the fish at the same time with generic drops; I mean he was wrong about King Crab. idk, Tolkyria, did you open any Dunkleosteus and get no bones/fangs?

Also I'm kinda new to fishing so if the big fishing people have a database that confirms it's just a chance, then my bad :x

I also noticed that all other fish have the same wording; is this just a formatting issue? Then we might need to update the formatting.

Anyway, thanks for your help (and Tolkyria's help!), and my bad if I'm overthinking this x) --Imry 01:36, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

I applied some basic wiki format concepts (item type, correct templates, wiki links) to all fish items, in retrospect I might have been too eager by copying the contents from fish of the same rarity. Please ignore any edit I made in regard of the actual fish container contents. --Tolkyria (talk) 08:11, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
Sorry, my edit was based on the other legendary fish, where Chunk of Ancient Ambergris and fillet are fixed loot, while there are possible other loot as well. Reverted my edit, until proven otherwise. Gorla (talk) 15:46, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
Okay, thanks to both of you! --Imry 18:16, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Dialogue formatting + some fishing stuff[edit]

Heya, I just wanted to let you know in more detail what I did with the dialogue trees of the Tournament Organizers since from the History it might look like I just removed stuff: when an NPC repeats their dialogue lines, we just tend to replace it with "(same as above)" (or variants) so we don't have to repeat every line, as it makes the page much much longer and doesn't really add anything (especially if the NPC gets only one new line during an event, as the organizers do, and 99% of their dialogue is the same). It is used on the formatting page but not really explained per se, so I guess that should be fixed. Good job with noticing the bug with the tournament points btw, last time I checked them they were correct :/ Also, perhaps any idea how long the Lutgardis Lake tournament takes to respawn? I always feel like I am waiting for ages. ~Sime 23:03, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed your edits as well, thanks for taking your time with it. I will fix up Wu and Yu pages with remaining dialogues from the fishing events per that formatting. It will look much better :)
As far as I know the points bug exists since the beginning, I added that bug to the Tournament Points page on March 15th, while you made the template on August 2nd.
I would say that the Help Jan reconnect with their family's past by cleansing the site with Lutgardis music event takes precedent as it has a 30 min rotation, 8 minutes after this start the fishing event chain. These events block each other, I added some explanation and time interval in both events' Notes section. Gorla (talk) 23:25, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
I did made the template just recently but collected the points few months ago already and I am absolutely sure rare fish gave me 2 points. Doesn't really matter anyway, in any case, since now the points should be "correct" everywhere (ofc, discounting the bug lol). And ye, I noticed that the tournament doesn't want to spawn while the flute event is up. Thank you for your work! ~Sime 23:29, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
I have redone the dialogue formatting for Tournament Organizer Yu per location. Is it a viable option in this case? Unfortunately the "rules" and "tips" is different in Seitung Province, while the "sign me up" respone is different in Labyrinthine Cliffs. Gorla (talk) 01:03, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
It looks as good as a page with this amount of repeated dialogue can look like. If she didn't use different wording for the same dialogue, there could be a way to simplify it even more but alas, this will have to do. ~Sime 16:47, 7 August 2022 (UTC))

Birthday unlock selections[edit]

"is there a reason this is missing"

Yes, they are new additions that just went live and people just started getting the 10 year chests --Dak393 (talk) 07:59, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
In the meantime I realised that as well. Probably previous birthday containers will be updated as well to have any "meaningful" loot, if all skins are unlocked. Gorla (talk) 08:31, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
Yup! Looks like we'll need to double check several of them to be sure now. --Dak393 (talk) 08:45, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
