Talk:Crab Pot

My edit that had shown the gold/day that crab pots make had been removed because I have to show my calculations so I will try and show it here on this talk page. Please forgive me if I am wrong because I am new to both wiki editing and I am rusty on my maths skills. I got all the information from the Stardew valley wiki.

Recycled trash items: (For all of the recycled items that can give 1-3 items, I will be using 2 as it is the median)

Trash: 1-3 (2 Average) stone=4(sell price)*0.49(percentage to get)=1.96 1-3 coal=30*0.30=9 1-3 iron:20*0.21=4.2 1.96+9+4.2=15.16

Driftwood: 1-3 wood:4*0.75=3 1-3 coal:30*0.25=7.5 3+7.5=10.5

Newspaper: 3 torches=15*0.9=13.5 cloth=470*0.1=47 47+13.5=60.5

Both CD's and Glasses don't require calculations as they have a 100% chance to give 50g from refined quartz.

Total average for all trash items: 15.16+10.5+60.5+50+50=186.16/5=37.232

This means that the 38% chance that a crab pot has to make trash, it will on average be worth 37.232g

Fresh fish:

Trash=37.272*0.38=14.163

Periwinkle=20*0.21=4.2

Snail=65*0.13=8.45

Crayfish=75x0.28=21

14.163+4.2+8.45+21=47.813 <--Average gold/day

Salt fish:

Trash=37.272*0.38=14.163

Oyster=40*0.03=1.2

Shrimp=60*0.05=3

Mussel=30*0.14=4.2

Cockle=50*0.17=8.5

Crab=100*0.06=6

Clam=50*0.12=6

Lobster=120*0.03=3.6

14.163+12+3+4.2+8.5+6+6+3.6=46.663 <--Average gold/day

The percentages on the actual chart with ocean crab pot fish only adds up to 60 so either the statement "The chance of trash appearing is 38%, regardless of luck or fishing skill" or the percentages are wrong and should total to 62% instead of just 60%. This would likely make the ocean crab pot almost identical to the fresh water crab pot profit wise. Pixelated (talk) 17:52, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
