Message in a Bottle

Revision as of 06:23, 13 November 2010 by Nimuaq (Talk | contribs)

On occasion, a lucky Fisher or Aquarium-owner will discover a Message in a Bottle. Looking inside will reveal either a Waterstained sos.png Waterstained SoS or, on a 1 in 25 chance, an Ancient sos.png Ancient SoS.

Travelling to the locaton the message specifies gives you the chance to attempt to fish a chest up from the ocean floor, though at least 75 skill points in Fishing are required for a chance of succeeding.

Pre-chest Loot

While attempting to bring up the chest, you may on occasion bring up other bits of random items with the special tag "Recovered from a Shipwreck". Such articles include:

Common Items


Uncommon Items

Chest

Eventually the chest (also including the shipwreck tag) will appear from the deep, typically containing the same modest loot associated with other Treasure Chests.

Those recovered from an Ancient SoS, however, will contain a Fabled Fishing Net Fabled fishing net.png , with which one can attempt to tackle the legendary Leviathan. Certain decorative artifacts can only be recovered in this way.

Starting with Publish 68.3, there is a small chance an artifact may be recovered as well.
