    To celebrate our 100th release Novia Market is holding a freshwater fishing contest!

    Each entrant can enter their five longest fish and the winners will be the top 10 entrants with the longest total length combined! (caught in Novia Market during release 100 only)

    *Prizes for the 5 longest fish*
    • 1st - 250,000 gold
    • 2nd - 200,000 gold
    • 3rd - 150,000 gold
    • 4th - 100,000 gold
    • 5th - 50,000 gold
    • 6-10 - 25,000 gold
    *There may be trophies as well - I'll update when I have the details*

    There will also be prizes that will be awarded at random to players that submit 5 trophy fish for the contest. 1st-10th place winners will also be eligible to win these prizes!

    *Randomly awarded prizes*
    • 1000 cotos
    • 750 cotos
    • 500 cotos
    • 250 cotos
    • Bait package (Details soon)
    • Crafting session for one custom crafted item. (Winner chooses item type, materials and up to 3 successful enchants + 3 successful masterworks)
    • Odd Container (Flotsam) x3 (Thanks @Neverly Crusher for donations!)
    • Cloak of the Master Angler

    *These random prizes will be awarded at the reward ceremony in release 101, attendance will not be required to win. All players that submit 5 trophy fish for the NoMa fishing contest will be eligible*


    To enter, contact Adam Crow by mail in game or a direct message on these forums - send me your exact player name. I will set up a personal drop box in Novia Market for each entrant and they will be able to add/remove their fish during the contest. Each entrant will be responsible for leaving the 5 longest fish in their container at the end of release 100. I will go through each container and tally up the results once release 101 is live. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please post them here! (All fish will be retrieveable from your drop box after the contest is complete.)

    Novia Market will also be hosting a reward ceremony in release 101 to celebrate the winners and put the winning fish on display. Details of this event will be posted nearing the end of release 100.

    *If anyone wants to donate any additional prizes for these contests please let me know!*

    I'm going to start setting up the containers after r100 is live, thanks to those of you that have contacted me already. If anyone has any suggestions on ways to make a contest like this more interesting or fun please post here!

    I'm going to send a small bag to each entrant renamed to their exact name. I'll then assign tenant access to the first row lot on the right - straight ahead when you first enter Novia Market. It's an empty row with a stage and an obsidian shard. Just place your bags on that stage and you can use that to keep track of your 5 longest trophy fish. Good luck fishing!

    No any type of freshwater fish is fine. They could all even be the same type. Tried to keep it as simple as possible so basically just total length will be added up for the 5 freshwater fish you leave in there at the end of the release.

    In case anyone catches 2+ big rare fish of the same type, I thought it would be best to have them all count for your best 5.

    @Neverly Crusher donated three Odd Containers (Flotsam) and someone who wished to remain anonymous just donated a Cloak of the Master Angler! I added these items to the random prizes, thanks for the donations!!

    I have ocd. I set all the bags to smallest setting cause I was starting to get anxious. Feel free to make your bag bigger. But don't be offended when I make it small again

    I haven't had a chance to plan an awards ceremony yet. If I can't find a night to do it soon, I'm just going to do a random drawing and send out all the prizes without doing anything in game.

    Sorry for the delay, my wife just had a birthday and we were on vacation for a bit. I'll figure it out asap!
