Fish Quality
Every fish caught through the Fishtastic minigame is assigned a quality tier at the moment the server generates the loot. Quality affects the fish's size, its tooltip color, and whether it renders with a visual glint effect.
There are five quality tiers: Common (gray), Uncommon (green), Rare (blue), Epic (purple), and Legendary (gold).
Spoiler: Base drop weights and chances
| Tier | Color | Base Weight | Base Chance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | Gray | 6400 | ~63.9% |
| Uncommon | Green | 2500 | ~25.0% |
| Rare | Blue | 750 | ~7.5% |
| Epic | Purple | 250 | ~2.5% |
| Legendary | Gold | 100 | ~1.0% |
Total base weight: 10,000.
Gummy Worms bait applies a quality bias of +1.5, which multiplicatively boosts higher tiers. The formula scales each tier's weight by (1 + bias × ordinal), where Common = 0, Uncommon = 1, Rare = 2, Epic = 3, Legendary = 4.
Spoiler: Effective drop chances with Gummy Worms
| Tier | Base Weight | With Bias (+1.5) | Approx. Chance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 6400 | 6400 | ~36% |
| Uncommon | 2500 | 6250 | ~35% |
| Rare | 750 | 3000 | ~17% |
| Epic | 250 | 1375 | ~7.8% |
| Legendary | 100 | 700 | ~4.0% |
Blazed Grub applies a smaller bias of +0.5, giving a modest boost toward higher tiers without the dramatic shift that Gummy Worms provides.
Each quality tier applies a modifier to the fish's Gaussian size distribution — higher tiers push the mean further up. So a Common Bluegill averages 30 cm while a Legendary Bluegill averages ~92 cm and is drawn from a wider distribution.
Spoiler: Exact size modifiers per quality tier
| Quality | Mean size bonus | Mean multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Common | +0 cm | ×1.0 |
| Uncommon | +10 cm | ×1.1 |
| Rare | +20 cm | ×1.2 |
| Epic | +45 cm | ×1.3 |
| Legendary | +75 cm | ×1.5 |
These modifiers stack on top of each species' base mean (defined in its fish profile). See Fish Species for per-species base sizes.
Items with Uncommon quality or higher render with a visual sparkle/glint overlay. Effect intensity scales with tier:
| Quality | Effect intensity |
|---|---|
| Common | None |
| Uncommon / Rare | 30% |
| Epic | 60% |
| Legendary | 100% |
