Native Summary[edit]
Open Seas Fish are those that can be caught by wranglers by trolling in the Open Seas. Using a Trolling Net hand-crafted by Earl or shuttling[1] between the regions of Farovia & Roperia, wranglers can catch the previously inaccessible, deep-water fish to add to their collection on their mantle-pieces.

Mechanics[edit]
Catch Procedure[edit]
- Catching an Open Seas Fish requires the following:
- Purchase of the Trolling Net[2].
- Then either:
- Upon doing so, the results will be one of a random three, split between either:
- the lack of a catch, in which case there will be no message.
- a miss, which the Waterport Message Centre will notify[4] of at the top.
- a catch, also shown by messages in the notifications tab.
Notes[edit]
- The Net will only be deployed on trips longer than two minutes[3].
- Longer trips, for obvious reasons, provide a greater chance of catching one of these fish.
- A fish caught via trolling through the open seas (using the Net) in either Farovia or Roperia, will result in the Net and the fish being irreversibly tangled up, requiring a replacement to catch another Open Seas Fish via trolling.
- The Net, due to hydro-dynamic drag, slows down a wrangler's boat by ~10%, but the slower speed and the Net itself enable a chance to reel in the deep-water fish.
- Wranglers can disable their Nets to travel faster, but will have to re-enable them if they want to catch the any of the trolling fish.
- If wranglers turn their boat around, they may get messages of losing a fish that was caught in the Net. These messages are false-positives, added for immersive/lore purposes; the open-sea fish are caught only upon arrival to the destination and are not actually caught in transit due to game-play limitations.
Trivia[edit]
- 2012, April: The initial 'Open Seas' feature was released with 5 total fish (2 trolling, 3 shuttling) to catch.
- 2021, December 02: A further set was released with 7 total fish (5 trolling, 2 shuttling) to catch.
- In-game, the Open Seas Fish will be listed on the All of the Fish drop-down in the Fish menu that's in the top menu bar. These fish will be listed at the very end, in the Others category.
