Editing Sanity

[[File:Sanity.png|Kranka]]

'''Sanity''' is a feature of gameplay that is used in [[Innsmouth Island]]. A wrangler needs to keep their sanity levels up in order to keep fishing at Innsmouth Island. You can find percent amount of Sanity you have in the gamebar next to the Island location while in either Innsmouth Island, WaterPort, or Wahwahport locations. Or by going to the [https://fish-wrangler.com/fishwrangler/resource/21 Crazy Pill] resource page.

==Description==
Sanity lowers when fishing in Innsmouth Island and raises overtime elsewhere, or after taking your meds.

Deckhand trips, DH Vouchers, Crew trips, and tournament casts will not impact Sanity. Auto-Fish seems to not affect Sanity. However, using skips will count as active fishing.

==How to Play==
While fishing in Innsmouth Island, a clue can be found which says "The bigger the fish get, the worse they are for your mental state." In other words your Sanity will lower when fishing by x% based on the weight of the fish you catch. The larger the fish, the more Sanity will be lost. (It is actually based on the actual points worth of the fish caught, which minimum points listed increases with the larger weight<font color="red">*</font>). You risk the chance of awakening on a random beach, if you fish with 0% sanity. As some fish weights will lower your Sanity by 10% or more, you will need to raise your Sanity somehow prior to get to 0% or risk finding yourself at some random location.

'''NOTE:''' Plus, you’ll have to regain at least half your sanity to voyage back to Innsmouth Island. Make sure you stock up on Crazy Pills before you try fishing at this horrifying place! Crew trips and deckhand checks do not count towards your sanity.

<font color="red">* Note:</font> As Sanity is based on the points value of the fish caught, running of the Special Bonus '''2x-8x Points''' will drastically increase the amount of Sanity lost while fishing at Innsmouth Island, which makes it near impossible to fish there during the time this Special Bonus is running. Highly recommended to fish elsewhere before this Special Bonus is activated.

One strategy is when getting down to a low amount of Sanity, is to travel to WaterPort or Wahwahport ''before'' getting down to 0% and fish there for awhile to get your Sanity level back up, than travel back to Innsmouth Island. Rinse and repeat. While fishing at WaterPort or Wahwahport, making use of your daily (40) [[Resources#Mystery_Tackle_Box|MTB]] and your 3 [[Resources#Tarpit_Stout|Tarpits]] to cut down on fishing time while there which should adequately restore your Sanity. Here is one example of a wranglers summary to give a rough idea of number of casts possibly needed:

Catches:<br />
• Innsmouth Island: 38 Gibbering, 32 Reef Devil, 25 Cultish, 21 Deep One, 11 Barnabas, 9 Obed, 2 Shoggoth, 1 Daemoniac, 1 Cyclo, 1 Lurking, 1 Zadok, 1 Eldritch<br />
• Wahwahport: 3 Mimi, 3 Fiesa, 3 Tiny, 1 Ate, 1 Nanja, 1 Wampire ..... ''to gain Sanity only''<br />

NOTE: the above example could vary depending on the amounts and weights of each fish caught. This is a rough idea to only give as an example of what to expect.

Another strategy is to use the Crazy Pill resource, which will give you a random amount 0% - 25% Sanity increase per use. You can get Crazy Pill's by purchasing via shells at the Resource shop, or can be found at various locations in Treasure Chests, such as at Innsmouth Island.

== Lost sanity ==
Note: if you go below 0% Sanity, not only will you find yourself transported to a different Island (likely in Wahwahport) and needing to travel back, but this will also cost you Gold. With the following example message received:

<blockquote>
<font color="red">These baby fish are very soothing. Soon you’ll be able to face the terror of Innsmouth Island again.</font><br />
'''OH NO! The horror was too much for you.''' You’ve awakened on the sweet sugar sand of Wahwahport, surrounded by concerned onlookers. You can’t remember how you got here, and you <font color="gold">lost 29,540 gold</font>. And you really don’t feel well at all.

You’ll have to fish here until you get at least half your sanity back. Stock up on Crazy Pills before fishing at Innsmouth Island again!
</blockquote>

There's also a chance you might lose your Sanity when it's really low (<10%) and you fish.
