A Shy Shark?

August 17, 2024 3:43 pm

Rumor has it a rather shy shark has been spotted while fishing! This rumor has yet to be confirmed, though, because it seems this shark is quite rare.

Temictzin hoped this bait would help catch the shyshark, but it had no effect. You can get your own shyshark bait by completing the achievement Shark Bait!

The items required for this achievement can be found by fishing or visiting the Underground Springs.

[I]Update: For those curious about the item being dual use (wearable/food), it will be added to a future achievement so you will technically be able to get two! You'll have to wait for our pirate friends.

I was lucky that my gourmand pet had already eaten all but 4 of the fish needed for the shark bait so don't need to go to the spring any more. But still have to do the fishing game to get the shark. Darn.

I don't care about the treasure since I know I'll never get it, I just want the shark.

I wish someone would fix the fishing game its awful sigh

staff has said this? Or is this an assumption. Because that sounds a little far-fetched lol.

And truly I really only had one person in mind when leaving my comment, a user who on almost every single news post no matter what it’s about has something sarcastic and condescending to say, nothing is good enough for them and everything is always stupid. If you assumed I was including you, I wasn’t.

Wait it's pixel perfect? Well that's just dumb and misleading. :/

It is a random chance game, but the odds are incredibly low compared to some other things around the site.

The board is 400x400 pixels with a single one of those containing the treasure space. That's 1/160,000 or 0.000625% lmao, that's an insanely small chance of hitting it. No one is saying that you should win every time, but it does feel like the odds could be improved a bit...

August 19, 2024, 10:51 am by

yay i already fed all the fish so got the shrimp and fed to my pet! :D

also when it comes to the fishing game i just treat it as random. play once per day (or whenever the timer goes) and you'll eventually get the rarer items

I really feel like just because something isn't easy and you don't immediately get your way doesn't mean it's stupid and needs to be revamped lmao its just a random chance game, it's that simple.

You Win: Shyshark

You were so close!

So basically if it's just 1 random pixel you could fish for 100 years & never get the treasure or shark. Darn.

Got Him first try :P

August 18, 2024, 6:13 pm by

he cute ;__;

August 18, 2024, 3:27 pm by

It really is random. I don't listen to the hints because it's always wrong. I just click all over. I also want the shark for my zoo!

August 18, 2024, 1:50 pm by

How long to you have to wait on the spring? There's no alert for that.

August 18, 2024, 12:56 pm by

So if it's really random then there's no reason to pay any attention to his instructions & just click all around randomly. I gave up on this game years ago but really want that shark.

August 18, 2024, 12:51 pm by

Could this maybe coincide with Fishing getting a revamp? I've given up with it due to needing to get one particular pixel + inconsistent feedback ("you're getting very close" = "you were nowhere near it")

August 18, 2024, 12:22 pm by

I've been playing for 18 years, and I have NEVER received the treasure. I don't bother fishing anymore because it's not worth it?

August 18, 2024, 5:10 am by

I'm crying these are both amazing ; A; I've never gone for a food achievement but I need it

Autocorrect has turned us all into foals at one time or another. ;)

August 18, 2024, 2:30 am by

Good catch, ! My notepad must've autocorrected to duel.

August 18, 2024, 2:25 am by

"Dual is an adjective that means having two parts. Duel is a verb or a noun, and refers to a conflict between two entities. writingexplained.org/" I believe there was a typo. :)

August 17, 2024, 10:42 pm by

I've hit the fishing spot and a friend hit it too. It's possible - just rare.

August 17, 2024, 10:03 pm by

I am not entirely sure, it feels like it's just sort of random every time you try. I don't think anyone has really noticed any patterns over the years or anything. Even the textual clues that the game gives you can be not very helpful, since you're looking for one single pixel it's easy to go from being kind of close to super not close in between clicks. Which can make it seem like the text is making you think that you're close until the very end when it says you were not close at all.

August 17, 2024, 9:50 pm by

yeah i totally understand from the perspective of people that collect achievements why they'd want the revamp! on the other hand i think it'd feel like a massive achievement to get the ONE pixel and that kinda makes it more fun to me lol. but i don't really mind not getting a lot of achievements so for the sake of the collectors hopefully it works out. good luck to everyone on thee pixel! <3

p.s. sorry for so many questions but in case you happen to know- is the pixel always in one certain spot or does it do any moving around? or reset when someone finds the treasure? lmao silly for asking but i'm really curious

August 17, 2024, 9:23 pm by

LOL The irony.

August 17, 2024, 9:17 pm by

You Win: Shyshark

You were so close!

The real treasure: You Win: [Item=Captured Bubbles] You were so close! [Img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/cc/f8/b9/ccf8b9797ad47bf4eb16acad7235dd8d.jpg[/img]

Yeah, unfortunately this game is terrible if you're actually going for the treasure. I do hope it can be revamped at some point to have better odds. You can still play for some of the other rewards though, there are some rarer items you can get from getting pretty close to it if you're lucky enough to do that.

August 17, 2024, 8:36 pm by

I thought I was looking for the right square. what do you mean I am looking for ONE PIXEL?!

August 17, 2024, 8:29 pm by

Oops sorry for the late response, but yeah it's the sP plus there's an achievement for it the first time you get it (haha as if there will be more than one time).

I know of at least one person who has gotten it over the years, they no longer play here though. I'm not sure how many people in total have gotten it, but with how low the odds are I feel like it can't be very many.

August 17, 2024, 8:06 pm by

my bad i googled it and i see the treasure is 1mil sP. relieved that it isn't a cute item i'd never be able to own lol

August 17, 2024, 8:02 pm by

wait lol there's an actual treasure? is it like a random amount of sP or an item that no one has gotten yet all these years?

August 17, 2024, 7:54 pm by

"You are getting very close to the best fishing spot!" next move- "You were nowhere near it!" Jerk. They need to replace him with someone who knows what he's doing

August 17, 2024, 7:16 pm by

I’m 4th on the fishing high score table. I fish So. Much. I still don’t have the Fishing Master achievement. It would be great if the odds were improved.

August 17, 2024, 7:14 pm by

Thank you for delivering me that terrible, terrible news. :'D

(in all seriousness thank you for answering <3 )

August 17, 2024, 7:06 pm by

Yeah I think Fishing is another game that should have an odds change because in 14 years I didn't get the treasure even once.. that's some crazy odds.

August 17, 2024, 6:32 pm by

You Win: Flynn

You were nowhere near it!

AHEM, EXCUSE ME KIND SIR WHERE IS MY SHARK 😤

August 17, 2024, 6:18 pm by

duel use

So it's a weapon, too?! :)

August 17, 2024, 6:17 pm by

From what I remember Keith saying before, it's literally like 1 pixel out of however many are in the board lol. So the chances of hitting the treasure are astronomically small.

August 17, 2024, 5:57 pm by

I hate the fishing game. The guy is either a total idiot or he has no clue what he's doing. How could I be right next to it & on the next click no where near it. This is impossible. I gave up on fishing years ago because I never ever got anything good. Guess I won't be getting this prize. Darn, I like the shark.
