You can find a friends UID by going to their FW profile* and copying the numbers at the end of the link. (Should look like: https://apps.facebook.com/fishwrangler/profile/22000847. So that UID would be: 22000847)

Note that the reward inside the chest has already had the multiplier applied before being revealed. A "x3" chest of 3 tarpit stouts is therefore a single tarpit stout times 3, not a reward of 9 tarpit stouts.

The odds of finding ''certain'' special bonus boosts will vary depending on the Wrangler's current situation which was done to help old areas and/or new wranglers as noted by Joe [https://fish-wrangler.com/fishwrangler/forum/questions?id=115647&page=1&scrollto=post7 here] and in an older changelog archive. Certain boosts such as quest boost for a quest started long time ago ><s>6</s> 3 mo's; boat traveling for an old unleveled max boat; and pole leveling for an area released over <s>6</s> 3 mo's ago as well as pole add-ons not purchased recently can all increase the odds.

The Boat Leveling bonus will no longer be received once all of your boats are fully leveled in ''both'' regions of Farovia and Roperia. This means one must purchase and fully level all boats ingame. One can check the status of your boats in the [https://fish-wrangler.com/fishwrangler/customize/boats?scrollto=max#max Boat Shop]. The status will tell you how many boats are maxed to how many are currently ingame. For example ''"You've currently maxed out 5 of 8 boats in Farovia."'' If you are still receiving Boat Leveling boosts when you think you have all FW boats leveled, please visit the Boat Shop in both regions and click 'Refresh' to ensure it reads "You've maxed out x of x Farovian boats. [https://fish-wrangler.com/fishwrangler/customize/boats?no-cache=1 Refresh?]" and "You've maxed out y of y Roperian boats. [https://fish-wrangler.com/fishwrangler/customize/boats?no-cache=1 Refresh?]" Wrangler experience shows that clicking refresh must be done manually (again in ''both'' regions), as the game does not auto check the Max levels to stop receiving this Boat Leveling boost.

NOTE: Special Bonus boosts can be stacked with other Special Bonus boosts as well as with each other. A 1x only Auto-Fish when stacked with itself, will add the time of each stacked. Or in other words 1x Auto-Fish length of time is cumulative (2hr + 5hr = will run for a total of 7 hrs), but remains 1x of course (1x * 1x = 1x).

Attempting to travel ''while'' Deckhands are activated will result in losing one hour each time you travel. Exceptions are for super short travel times under a minute such as between Farovia/Roperia or with 5x boat speed.

The Deckhand and Timer Bonuses are not allowed during Contests, as it makes for an unfair advantage. Players in particular who have unfinished poles can generally find these two bonuses significantly easier than those players who have finished all the levels. However, you can [https://fish-wrangler.com/fishwrangler/my-settings deactivate contest catches] in your settings to re-activate the Deckhand Bonus during a contest. As of July 2018, timer and deckhand bonuses can no longer be found ''during'' [[Contests]], due to the amount of confused and angry support messages received.<ref>[https://fish-wrangler.com/fishwrangler/forum/official_changelog?id=115298&scrollto=post7#post7 Changelog Archive]</ref>

NOTE: You can turn/off your contest catch setting throughout any deckhand/timer bonus and it will make them work/not work without losing any time on them. However the rule about traveling with a deckhand bonus still applies, and you will lose an hour of a deck bonus if you travel with it enabled, no matter what your contest setting is.
