The Fishing Derby is a fishing contest that anybody can take part in! During the event, everybody has access to the Fishing skill and can participate. All fishing during this event must be done with 'a competitor's fishing rod' sold at Hagriphim's shop, or your catches won't count.

The event is broken up into three rounds. Each round has a different objective to achieve, and will give out points depending on where you place in that round. Whoever scores the highest accumulated points at the end of the event will be considered the winner.

I've just turned on Transcendent fishing now for everybody. You can pick up a competitor's rod from the shop at #53411 and start practicing your fishing (HELP FISHING) before the contest.

Please note that part of this contest is knowing where to find all the various fishing holes. We may specify where to find something at the start of the round, but we won't be answering people's questions on where to find a specific fish or hole during the event.

The three rounds are as follows:

Round 1 - Biggest fish
----------------------
This round lasts for fifteen minutes. Whoever catches the biggest fish in that time is considered the winner. 1st place gets 3 points, 2nd to 4th place gets 2 points each, and 5th to 8th place gets 1 point each.


Round 2 - Catching a specific fish
----------------------------------
This round lasts for fifteen minutes. The goal is to catch five of a specific type of fish (revealed when the round starts). Placing in this round is based on who finishes first. 1st place gets 3 points, 2nd to 4th place gets 2 points each, and 5th to 8th place gets 1 point each.

Round 3 - As many fish as you can
---------------------------------
This round lasts for fifteen minutes and is a pure fifteen frenzy! Catch as many fish as you can, big or small! Whoever catches the most fish in the time period is the winner for this round. 1st place gets 3 points, 2nd to 4th place gets 2 points each, and 5th to 8th place gets 1 point each.
