Welcome to Gaia! ::

now what do i do with this PI?

well if you tried to figure out the PI that means you have kept track of each thing you have caught, correct?

so you can then check your percentages to see if you can qualify for overall, as well as your scores for each individual lake.
now remember PI is not used to figure your scores for each individual lake as you will see.



here is a simple screen we will look at from my spread sheet i created to calculate my scores and see why i wasn't appearing on overall.

first please note the store price in that picture is the same as the scores listed above. that is how i know this works.

also look at the top row and left column. that is how i will explain where things are, just like a spreadsheet would. basically a grid.
the words "store price" are in F1
"bassken" is in A2,etc

now look in H11 and you will see 6800 which should be my score for bassken lake.
now lets check the rankings to find out.


well looks like i am right. both the rankings page ( http://www.gaiaonline.com/games/fishing/stats.php?mode=all ) and my spreadsheet show a score of 6800.

so all the other lakes must act the same way. possibly even the junk.

so we are going to say lake scores use this calculation.
individual fish times score, add together for each lake.
its that simple.

now to figure your percents you just simply use this one.
fish caught in lake divided by all things caught.
for bassken above we will look at it like this.
bassken FISH caught = 845 (found in D11)
total things caught = 4844 (found in D36)
845/4844 = .1744 = 17% (shown in E11)

and junk does count when trying to figure out your percentages to see if you qualify for overall rankings.

well hope this helps anyone who wishes to try to figure out there own scores.

and for those who dont know here is the upgrade costs for all rods.


and in case you didnt see the OMG,How many fish is that nifty hat sticky.

end of May update and verification



just an update to verify the calculations hold true at the end of the month after my final bucket fished at bass'ken lake for the month. 3nodding

since many people might not have or be able to create a spreadsheet to do the work for you as i have done, and if you dont want to use pencil and paper to find your own scores...here it is unOFFICIAL Gaia Fishing Score Calculator


as stated above you MUST keep track of your own fish, and get the performance index from your statistics page in the "ole fishing hole" to use this fish score calculator.



features to come:
-anything else i can cram on this page that will work and be usefull to fishers. (maybe a marketplace profile to tell you how much you can get on the market from your fish. ninja )
