List:Drop Tables/Professions/Fishing/doc

Fishing drop tables differ from regular drop tables, such as those used by other professions or loot chests. Rather than relying on static drop chances, fishing drop tables use item weights to determine the likelihood of an item being caught. Each item in the table is assigned a weight, which is a numerical value. The higher the weight, the greater the chance of that item being selected.

The probability of an item being dropped is calculated as follows:

${\text{Item Drop Probability}}={\frac {\text{Item Weight}}{\text{Sum of All Item Weights in the Drop Table}}}$

When calculating the drop rate, the following formula is applied:

$\mathrm {Drop\ Chance\ in\ \%} ={\frac {\mathrm {Item\ Weight} \cdot \mathrm {Item\ Amount} }{\mathrm {Sum\ of\ Weights\ in\ the\ Drop\ Section} }}\cdot 100$

This dynamic system allows drop chances to fluctuate based on the weights assigned to items, which may change as the fishing profession levels up. For example, an item with a fixed weight might have a higher or lower drop chance if the weights of other items in the table are adjusted over time.

Below is an example of a Global Drop Table, which applies universally and is not tied to a specific biome or condition. Note that this example excludes event-specific items, such as Magic Pumpkins.

¹ The item weight does not increase with profession level.

² Fishing drop tables use item weights to determine the chance of catching each item. If an item is unset (displayed by ∅) or has a weight of 0, it will not be included in the drops.

If we want to determine the drop chance for specific items under certain conditions, we need to account for the current fishing conditions in addition to the global table.

For example, let’s calculate the drop chance for a Bluesfish. The current conditions are:

• Location: Deep Frozen Ocean
• Time: Night
• Weather: Rain
• No event is active

In this scenario, we will provide the probabilities for Fishing levels 1 and 100.

¹ The item weight does not increase with profession level.

² Fishing drop tables use item weights to determine the chance of catching each item. If an item is unset (displayed by ∅) or has a weight of 0, it will not be included in the drops.

Under these conditions, at Fishing level 100, there would be a 1.233% chance to catch a Bluesfish.
