I did some testing and with Lava Eel Bait and fishing level equivalent to 14, I was able to hook Lava Eel way more than 50% of the time (~70% rate) at the [[Forge]]. I know the given numbers are for level 10 fishing, but even when adjusting for fishing level it will only rise to ~45%. Therefore, I believe this is pretty heavy evidence that targeted bait rolls for the fish 3 times, rather than two. BlaDe also said when he did code diving live on Twitch that it rolls 3 times, and he is ''rarely'' wrong. [[User:User314159|User314159]] ([[User talk:User314159|talk]]) 19:47, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Lava Eel spawn rates in the Caldera with Targeted Bait feel wrong

I did some testing and with Lava Eel Bait and fishing level equivalent to 14, I was able to hook Lava Eel way more than 50% of the time (~70% rate) at the Forge. I know the given numbers are for level 10 fishing, but even when adjusting for fishing level it will only rise to ~45%. Therefore, I believe this is pretty heavy evidence that targeted bait rolls for the fish 3 times, rather than two. BlaDe also said when he did code diving live on Twitch that it rolls 3 times, and he is rarely wrong. User314159 (talk) 19:47, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Interestingly, upon closer inspection, it appears we're both right. It generates the list of fish, and iterates through until either the targeted fish or 3 other fishables have passed the various checks. And then, if it wasn't the targeted fish, it does that all again. I'm not really sure how to actually calculate the odds for this now, it's sorta like rolling for the target fish 6 times, but not really as some (but not all) of the checks are interdependent.
