FISHINGQUEST

Fishing quest is basically a way to pass some time on Medievia. Anyone
level 10 or over can play, and this is probably the best quest for
new players as there is no player-killing allowed. The quest typically
runs for 30 minutes to an hour. Note that if a dragon is circling or
hunting, you are in no danger as long as you stay on the water.

Fishing equipment will be provided to you after you enrol in the quest.
Please ensure you read the room description when joining.

If you do not have your own fishing equipment, then you can find it WEST
of the starting room, in the Fishing Equipment Storage room.

Type the following commands to obtain fishing items:
get pole to get a pole.
get net to get a deep sea fishing net.
get lifevest to get a item that allows you to walk on water.

==========================================================================

There are three versions of Fishing quest:

* Lake Fishing

This is the default version and uses a Fishing Rod and a lake or river.

* Deep Sea Fishing

Normal river/lake fishing uses a fishing line or rod, whereas deep sea
fishing uses a net. To fish you need to have a NET and be in a beach room,
next to the ocean.

* Player Killing Fishing (NPK)

This version uses the lake fishing but makes fish SLIPPERY, which means
that players can NPK you and take your fish.

==========================================================================

There are 3 score categories, Total Caught, Total Weight, and Average Weight.
Each category is ranked by the top 3 people scoring.

The object is to try to get the #1 spot in all 3 categories. While this is
difficult, its not impossible with some work. You might want to strategically
turn in specific fish, or just blindly turn in everything you happen to catch.
There is naturally a large amount of luck (the random weights).

Please note that prizes may not be given out if there are not sufficient
players enrolled in the quest.

You may not give fish to another player or accept fish from another player
to increase your score. You may not turn in fish you caught before the
quest started. All fish you turn in must be caught 1) by you and 2) during
the quest.

Your fish are weighed, randomly. That is, each type of fish has a different
possible maximum weight. The weight you get scored is a random number from BaseWt.
to MaxWt.
