My Mystic Fishing Experiment

Featured Replies

you not actually catching them at a different rate, but you have chose to beleive this, and now because you think its true, it seems to you that you are catching them at a faster rate.

 

 

 

Placebo Effect pl0x?

 

 

 

Honestly though here is what must have happened. You decided to wear mystic robes whilst fishing, you noticed that you were getting more because you in fact got a few sharks faster than usual because of the blind luck/random chance of getting a shark. Coupled with the fact that you are wearing mystic robes you gather the idea that these mystic robes are actually beneficial to you.

 

 

 

Hundreds of experiments have been done like this and they all have similar conclusions, if you give someone a suggestion and others agree with this suggestion with no actual effect being displayed you will begin to notice the suggestion is becoming true even if it only occurs once in a while. It's similar to this weeks Tip.it Times how many people notice Jagex's common banning but not their helpfulness towards their players.

Excepted.

 

 

 

I dont know - ever since Ive been wearing robes (all day basically) Ive seen a difference.. maybe its just me - I dont know. So Im conducting this experiment, it should tell more less if there is the slightest chance mystic robes can increase the rate of fishing.

Yes i think im going to try this out too, Fishing is my highest and favourite skill =)

you just think it works. It doesn't. If it did Jagax would relase a statment about it.

I will shoot down any one with my bitting wit, and sarcasm!

What POSSIBLE reason would someone have to make a fake like that?Does he profit from faking a picture like that? Does it help him at all?Jesus Christ, stop being so suspicious. This is Tip.it for God's sake, not RuneHQ. -_-

It does works thats why i always wear mystic robes whenever i do anything just to see if its fast :lol:

My guess is you get more fish per hour because you wear lighter garments which don't force you to walk. With the average agility level and full rune most people would have to walk at some part of a normal catherby "spot hunt". Mystic robes are simply a lot lighter and you get to run for a lot longer thereby maximizing the time spent fishing as opposed to banking or spot hunting.

 

 

 

Eh, my $0.02 :wink:

Thank you, Captain Arbitrary.

Well, I would believe you if you had statistics to back it up. It's possible that it's some sort of bug. I doubt it would be on purpose.

2480+ total

Naw, theyre not doing it for better fish per hour, theyre hunting for the elusive magical fish

 

 

 

Lol

Would think Jagex would include it in their new huge guide thing... :roll:

you not actually catching them at a different rate, but you have chose to beleive this, and now because you think its true, it seems to you that you are catching them at a faster rate.

 

 

Self Fulfulling Prophecy. Except it's not actually fulfulling itself... Kinda like someone giving someone sugar pills for a cold? It's all in our head.

 

 

 

wow best sig ever! this water mellon will not hatch! had me laughing for an hour :D

New sigzor^^

off topic, sorta.

 

 

 

I've noticed that using a weapon with a high crush attack equipped increases my mining speed (esp. on gem rocks). Try it with a mystic lava or fire battle, (which both give good crush bonuses), or a dragon spear...

 

 

 

I have no hard evidence to this, but I really notice a difference. Has there been another thread on this topic? (no flaming please.)

 

 

 

Thanks, and happy RSing,

Values? What do they mean?

I've noticed that ring of wealth increases rare drops from pking too.

 

 

 

:wink:

Eating a piece of cheese, then cooking a raw chicken while holding 23 eggs in your inventory, then directly after doing the dance emote 5 times, i have found helps and does... absoloutly nothing for you.

 

 

 

Trying to use a raw chicken on the KQ, then dancing 10 times while trying to eat raw chicken while having a bronze dagger on you trying to cut the chicken with the dagger.. doesn't do anything much either.

 

 

 

Seriously its in your head.

Pier pressure?

I can just see you being threatened by a wharf or jetty because you're a teleporter. Yes, I can see a large wooden wharf uprooting itself from the shore, walking over to you and slapping you in the back of the head for teleporting.

funny how when someone agrees with you you're head over heels and when someone disagrees you're like "no..read it again" ect.

 

 

 

it doesn't work. sorry.

tmpphpnppgpw.png

heh did you notice every1 started using the robes AFTER they heard this?

 

no1 tried to NOT use the robes after this and notice a decrease in fish :P

 

this leads to believe that the increase of fish might also be connected to an increase in lvl hmm? or just (probably) superstition :P
