Fish Size and Quality

Note: This has been copied fron Nebulous Maestress's user page from the old wiki.

The following table provides the predicted fish size and quality, based on Fishing Zone and player Fishing level. There's a random component to the calculation, meaning there's a range of possible sizes.

Definitions:

Fishing Zone: also known as clearWaterDistance, or tiles from nearest land.
S/G: gold-quality fish if cast is perfect; silver-quality fish otherwise
G/I: iridium-quality fish if cast is perfect; gold-quality fish otherwise
fFishSize: the fractional fish size (range 0 to 1), which is the primary output of the game code equations. fFishSize directly determines the fish quality, but is only one factor in the final fish size.
- Actual fish size (for a perfect fish) will be:
```
Size = fFishSize * (maxFishSize-minFishSize) + minFishSize + 1
```

Where maxFishSize and minFishSize are the raw values from the game data files.

Notes:

Fishing level includes any buffs
- (In version 1.3, buffs past level 10 were ignored by this calculation).
The size ranges shown are only valid for perfect casts. Sizes will generally be smaller on non-perfect casts.
Fishing Zone=4 has been excluded because it does not happen

Bulletin Board

The Bulletin Board appears after completing three bundles.

Completing all Bulletin Board bundles improves the player's friendship rating with every non-datable villager by two hearts (500 points). Note that this applies only to non-datable villagers whom the player has met in person. Villagers who do not show on the "Social" tab of the player menu and villagers whose names appear as "???' will not receive 500 points. If the player completes all the bundles before Kent arrives on 1 Spring, Year 2 -- possible by buying a Red Cabbage from the Traveling Cart -- he will not benefit from the friendship increase, and will start at 0 hearts. The Dwarf's friendship will be unaffected if the player does not have the Dwarvish Translation Guide.

The morning after, Mayor Lewis will send a letter saying that packages containing items posted about "years ago" on the Community Center bulletin board have been appearing in villagers' homes. He says the packages are all addressed from "your farm". He expresses his gratitude and says "all of us in town are delighted!"
