To compare fishing rods to catch extra items, one can use this formula: large values give better rods.

(1 + Extra chance to hook items) * (40 + Extra catch chance) / (200 - Faster catch speed)

Fishing Competition

The fishing competition is an event that occurs on Fjolarok every day at 7:00 and 19:00 UTC (server time). When Angler Nayla appears next to path north-east of the Hermit's Shack (pick right before the bridge), players can participate in the fishing competition by catching Ancient Sun Carp at locations where players normally catch Sun Carp.

• You need to use the Competition Rod during the event to catch Ancient Sun Carp.
• Ask Angler Nayla to get your Competition Rod for free.

The competition gives players 10 minutes to prepare, and then 10 minutes to fish.

The players who participate earns Angler's Marks, the player who caught and gave Angler Nayla the heaviest Ancient Sun Carp earns the most Angler's Marks, which can be exchanged for better fishing rods and Cerulean Pearls, which are used to augment fishing rods.

It was a normal fishing tournament but the 2 first winners get a special rare quality rod skin (the same of Grand Fishing Tournament) with custom name.

The 2 winners were :

• ASVAL : Rename his rod to "Pappa Carp Rod"
• Polfy : Rename his rod to "Maureen's Heart"

Grand Fishing Tournament (September 3, 2017)

The Grand Fishing Tournament was a one-time event held on September 3, 2017 at 6PM GMT. The prizes given out were the Master Rod, Nayla's Double Hook, and triple the number of Angler's marks than usual.

Another fishing related item is Nayla's Double Hook, another exclusive item of the Grand Fishing Tournament. It is a hook type item (the first of its kind) but is equippable into the trinket slot. It is a level 1 item, associated with The Anglers (Neutral), and gives a 4% chance to multi-catch.
