Cilisis Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I was using the Skill Calculator for fishing and it says for the Urns the Amount that is needed to fill but you do not get that amount only 20% of it. Hope this is the right place and manner of mentioning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shasta_sms Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 From fishing guide: Fishing UrnsFishing xp Cracked fishing urn 150Fragile fishing urn 350Fishing urn 500Strong fishing urn 600Decorated fishing urn 1900 From Calculator*: Cracked urn 900Fragile urn 2,100Normal urn 3,000Strong urn 3,600Decorated urn 11,400 *Information: "The XP value listed for an urn is equal to the amount of XP needed to fill it, plus the XP bonus awarded for teleporting the urn. For example, you will need to catch 750 XP worth of fish to fill a cracked fishing urn, and teleporting it will award 150 XP, for a total of 900 XP." The calculator looks correct, due to the information it provides. Example it gives is just for the Fragile fishing urn. The other urns require more experience to be gained before they become full but the calculator has already had that difference included, so that it is accurate. For another example, you will need to catch 1,750 xp worth of fish to fill a fragile urn, and teleporting it will award 350 xp, for a total of 2,100 xp. Hope all that clears up the misunderstanding. For the calculator to calculate purely on how much exp the urns gave you when you teleported them would be misleading since you would have to have gained the minimum xp in order for them to become full so that you could even get the xp from the urn. And yup, you are in the right place and mentioned your issue in a good manner for me to figure out the source of the problem. :) If you find anymore feel free to post them on the boards here, so that the problems may be corrected. Oh, and let me be the first to welcome you onto the forums Cilisis. :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cilisis Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Ok, thx for the quick response and welcome. To get the correct amount of fish needed when using urns you will need to do some calculus yourself. Good to keep people from getting to lazy :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get the correct amount of fish needed when using urns you will need to do some calculus yourself. Good to keep people from getting to lazy :P Yeah that would take a little math...should not be all to hard to formulate. Total xp wanted (Goal lv/xp) divided by the total xp gained from an urn (which ever one you will be using). That will give you the total urns you will need. <---This number is already given by the calculator. Go to the part of the calculator that does the math for how many fish you need to catch. Now use xp needed to fill an urn and divide it by the number of fish you need to catch. That should be the number of fish you need to catch. Lol or maybe a little harder than I thought, been a few years since I've taken formal math classes and I'm not all to focused at the moment to think. A tip for when it comes to Fishing I would suggest doing some multy-tasking such as viewing the forums and watching movies and the like. There is no way in hell I could have gotten 19m xp in fishing if I had not been watching anime at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cilisis Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Not been playing long enough to be bored with it yet :) Started 26-02-2011. But will download some entertainment for times to come..... And for the math it's not that hard. you would need about 33 lobster to fill 1 urn, is the goal you set would take 330 lobsters wich would be about 11 urns. but cause you get the xp from the urns u will reach your goal sooner so in fact you prolly need about 270 lobs and 8 urns easy ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All_Bogs Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Basically, if the calculator says you need 10 urns to get to the next level, it means you need to keep fishing until you've filled and teleported 10 urns to get to the next level, for example. Urns don't really fit in well in our calculator framework, this is the best I could come up with. And indeed, if you wish to find out how many fish you'll end up catching, you'll have to do some manual math. Typically urns are the defining factor, though, so I don't think that's a big problem.
