"Another method of obtaining them is through defeating Guardians. This method is very inefficient, as the drop rate is roughly 0.05% (2.5 * 0.02)."

But 2.5 * 0.02 is 5%.

 * You're incorrectly doing the problem as 2.5 x 2. 2.5 x .02 is still .05. -BDJP (t 19:59, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

"Lure increases" is misleading
the fact is that lure speeds the entire fishing process (by decreasing the wait time between "nibbles") so not only are more fish caught (of all types) but also both Junk and Treasures come faster. none of the three is changed in percentage but since the nibbles per hour is increased all three are increased on a "per hour" basis but in same ratio as before the lure was used.

likewise the "Luck of the Sea" enchantment DECREASES JUNK. so since the junk lost is replaced by treasure and fish alike the junk is reduced in ratio but the four fish and the individual treasures, while more compared to the junk, they are still the same ratio compared to each other

I think the reference to lure increasing clown fish should be removed or else reworded to reflect the true effects of both Lure and Luck in a "catch per hour" format rather than the currently worded version that implies that only clown fish increase with the lure enchant --Qazwiz (talk) 03:39, 8 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Lure was changed in 1.9 (specifically snapshot 15w43c); the page had been correct until then. Looks like no one had noticed or bothered to update it until now. -- Orthotopetalk 04:47, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
