Fishing Test Results

This is with Magic Fishing.  Also, I am still a few weeks behind in my blog as compared to real life.

I ran a test on the Mini worms on the green buoys to see net gain with fishing. Note that my experience is between 700-800 at the time of this test and I am using the free fishing rod.

Cost: 100 Mini worms – L$10
Gross Earned: L$27
Net: L$17

Not too much, and it took a few hours to gather up.  Still, for something that’s basically zero effort, I don’t think it’s too shabby.

  
Then I ran a test on the Sticky worms, blue buoys.  At this point, my experience is between 900-1000.

Cost: 100 Sticky worms – L$16
Gross Earned: L$39
Net: L$23

No time difference from the mini worms, of course.  End result is a bit of a minor increase.

Despite the differences, however, you’ll often go to locations where there’s only one color of buoys.  I find it convenient to purchase both types of worms so that you can fish wherever you teleport to.  Right now, there’s only 23 places to teleport to for buoys!

I do have to note that after getting to the 1000’s in experience, the leveling slows down quite a bit.

Fishing! i.e., ways to earn money in SL

Still a few weeks behind! I’ll skip over my failed foray into Paleo Quest – in the first place, I can’t figure out how to play that game, which, while similar to Linden Realms in that it’s an adventure game, is at a higher difficulty level.   In the second place, you have to spend a minimum of real-life money ($2.50 USD) for the potential of making L$, which is kind of the opposite of what I want to do with SL. So – on to what I’ve had some success in – fishing. When I first decided to try out SL, I googled to find the different ways to earn money in SL and found information on fishing (among other things, but you can only try one thing at a time).   The basic rod is free and as a newbie, you get a handful of free worms to fish with.   There’s several different types of worms – anything from ‘small’ to ‘mini’ to ‘large’ to ‘candy’ to ‘magic’ worms.   Basically, you wear the HUD and the rod, select the button on the HUD to go to a new location, find the ...
