Scales
The Scales feature allows you to manipulate the value of your fish, offering an exciting way to earn more or less money from your catches. By using scales, you can alter the price of your fish, giving you more control over your fishing economy and potentially increasing your profits. This feature adds an element of chance and strategy to your fishing experience.
Using the Scales Feature
To begin scaling your fish, follow these simple steps:
Open the Scales Menu
Command: /fish scales or access it through the /fish menu under the Scales tab. This opens the interface where you can manage the scaling process.
Drag and Drop Fish
Place the fish you want to scale into the available slots within the GUI. You can choose from a variety of fish types that you’ve caught during your fishing trips.
Select Scale Type
Choose from four scale types to apply to your fish:
Low: Slight chance of minimal price change.
Medium: Moderate chance of a price increase or decrease.
High: Increased potential for a significant change in price.
Extreme: High-risk, high-reward option that offers a dramatic change in price.
Scale Your Fish
After placing your fish and selecting the scale type, press the Anvil to apply the scale. The fish will then undergo the scaling process, altering its weight and thus affecting its price.
Understanding Scales
Once you scale your fish, it will gain a random weight that will affect its final price when sold. This weight will determine whether the fish is worth more or less than its base price.
Price Increase/Decrease: The change in price is always a percentage based on the fish’s normal sell price. The exact percentage change will vary depending on the weight assigned to the fish during the scaling process.
Low Scale: The fish’s price may increase or decrease by a small percentage.
Medium Scale: Expect a moderate increase or decrease in the price.
High Scale: The fish’s price can have a significant change, either higher or lower.
Extreme Scale: This offers the highest potential reward or risk, with a substantial fluctuation in the fish's value.
The random nature of the scaling process adds an element of chance to your fishing routine, creating an exciting opportunity to maximize the value of your fish, but also potentially reducing their worth.
Tips for Using Scales
Risk Management: If you have valuable fish and are looking for a big payday, consider using the High or Extreme scales. However, be prepared for the possibility of the price dropping significantly.
Consistent Profit: For more stable returns, use the Low or Medium scales, which provide a smaller but more predictable price change.
Strategic Scaling: Depending on the market demand and your current Elysium balance, you can time your scaling decisions to optimize your profits.
Conclusion
The Scales feature offers a dynamic and thrilling way to interact with your fish. By experimenting with different scale types, you can significantly alter the value of your catches and potentially maximize your profits. Whether you’re looking for small, consistent gains or hoping for a high-risk, high-reward opportunity, scaling your fish adds a new level of strategy to your fishing experience.
