Message in a Bottle
A Perfect fishing catch can reveal a Message in a Bottle instead of a fish.
Obtaining
A Perfect catch can produce a Message Bottle instead of a fish. The chance is set by the fishing ground: Net 1%, Fishing Rod 2%, Advanced Fishing Rod 3%, Harpoon 4%, Advanced Harpoon 5%.
The ground uses the earliest tool tier supported by a species with positive weight in its catch table. Your Fishing level and equipped tool do not raise this chance. Private tutorials and boss arenas do not award bottles.
The bottle replaces the fish; normal Fishing XP is still awarded, but no fish weight is added to hiscores and no bonus fish is produced. Earned overflow bottles wait until there is room to collect them.
Opening the bottle
Opening consumes the bottle. There is a 50% chance of a map and otherwise the bottle is empty. Map rarity is rolled only after a map is found.
| Map | Conditional chance |
|---|---|
| Common Treasure Map | 70% |
| Rare Treasure Map | 22% |
| Epic Treasure Map | 7% |
| Legendary Treasure Map | 1% |
Storage and trading
Each unpacked Message in a Bottle occupies one of the 28 inventory slots. The bank groups matching rarity and condition, up to 250 physical items per displayed group.
Bottles and treasure maps cannot be traded, sold, packed or manually dropped. An active opened map stays with its owner on death.
Keep this item for its own activity; the Harbour Merchant does not buy it.
