Summary
- Catch of the Week is a system where players compete amongst each other in a contest to see whom can contribute the largest size creatures for three Aquarium Creature types randomly chosen each week
- Catch of the Week operates on a weekly cycle, that begins and ends at the same time that Society Jobs are reset each week (Friday nights)
- One random Freshwater Aquarium Creature will be chosen each week and two Saltwater Aquarium Creatures will be chosen each week
- Between the three creatures selected, there will always be one Common creature, one Uncommon creature, and one Rare creature
- Players can view the Catch of the Week Menu by typing [CatchOfTheWeek or [COTW or by clicking the "Catch of the Week" button on any aquarium menu or Fish Bait menu
Catch of the Week Menu
- At the bottom of the page are three buttons that when clicked navigate to the different pages of the Catch of the Week System: "Current Catch of the Week", "Previous Catch of the Week", and "View and Purchase Rewards"
Current Catch of the Week
On the "Current Catch of the Week" page, players can see which Aquarium Creatures are currently being requested for this week's event Each creature listing shows the name of the Aquarium Creature as well as its Water Type and its Rarity Type If a player has already contributed a version of that creature this week, the weight of their best contribution for that creature will be displayed under "My Best Contribution" for it
Contributing Creatures
Players can click the "Contribute Creature" button to target an Aquarium Creature in their backpack and "contribute" it to the system so long as the following is true:
- The player contributing the creature was the player who Caught the creature in the first place (players can double-click a creature to view details about it)
- The Aquarium Creature is Fresh and not currently Dried Out
- If the player has already contributed a creature of this type this week, the new creature being contributed is larger than their previous one (i.e. it is bigger than what they have listed under "My Best Contribution" for that creature type)
- If all those are true, the player will "contribute" the creature to the system and the "My Best Contribution" for that Aquarium Creature will be updated
Contributing an Aquarium Creature does NOT delete or consume the creature, but it will however "Dry Out" the creature, meaning it can no longer be placed in an aquarium nor can be used in future Catch of the Week Events
Resolving The Event
At end of the week, the top 10 players for each creature type will be ranked from top to bottom based on Best Contribution Size, and each will receive Catch of the Week Reward Points based on their rank place for that creature Players can click on the "Previous Catch of the Week" button to view the results of the previous week and see if they made the 10 top list on any creature
Players earn reward points for a creature as follows:
Place | Reward Pts |
---|---|
1st | 15 |
2nd | 14 |
3rd | 13 |
4th | 12 |
5th | 11 |
6th | 10 |
7th | 9 |
8th | 8 |
9th | 7 |
10th | 6 |
Reward Points are stored on an account-basis for a player, and can be spent by any character on that account
However, in order to prevent players from abusing this system by using a large number characters and accounts to flood the leaderboard, for each Aquarium Creature type, only the best contribution per IP Address will be considered when calculating weekly results (i.e if a player uses multiple characters across different accounts to make contributions for the same creature, only their best one on their IP address will be used for that creature)
Reward Purchases
- Players can click the "View and Purchase Rewards" button to navigate to the Rewards page
- Players can see how many Reward Points they have available to spend as well as how many total reward points they have earned in their lifetime
- Player can click the "Info" button next to a reward item to view a description of the item before purchasing it
- Players can purchase a "Catch of the Week Reward Sack", which when double-clicked, will consume the sack and place a randomized decorative item in the player's backpack, some of which are animated
