How can I compete in the Fishing Hard Worker Event?

I have Cod, Shrimp and Salmon as the next 3 required catches in the hard worker event, however I do not have any of these available to fish, thus making it impossible to take part unless I use gold to move on at least 3 times.

    Personally I plan ahead before the event starts and make sure I have a little of each kind stocked on my boats, mostly oysters ofc. Have found that to be smart.

    Keep smiling :smile: and plan ahead next time.

    Cheers :smile:

    Never mind "a little of each", lol, I use freezers and fishing gear and spend 36 hours filling all 14 boats to the gunwales with a single species each. Defo a plan ahead job  :¬)

    Yep, always keep your eye on the calendar.  I notify the coop a few days ahead so we can get boats filled w/ single fish of every type.  No other way to do it, except skip w/ gold. Always starts w/ oysters.

    ...and unfortunately if you do not plan ahead, you deal with the hand dealt you.... it doesn't really matter anymore as the ultimate goal is unattainable... unless you are willing to spend a years wages in gold... fish your pools and hope you get what you need at some point to put some points on the board and get a few rewards!
  • I still have 17hrs of oysters left running at 11..lol

    @Byron Longford (AU1) LOL, guess you planned ahead!!!! :)

    Is it me or have they made the only Hard Worker event that was left worth doing not worth doing, They have shortened the time and made any good prizes completely unattainable for someone who doesn't spend hundreds of dollars on a "free to play" game? They have taken a lot of the fun out of it for me. :(

     I start getting ready 2 weeks before the FHWE starts, mainly having 5 boats of Oysters ready (3 skipjacks 2xL5 1 L4, 2x L6 Wherries) for about 500 Oysters, if I find a bigger pool, collect & send back out, also 4 L6 skipkacks of Tuna & Herring, I use my 2 Trawlers for S/Fish, Salmon & Cod, 1 Trawler on Lobster,  same again if I find a bigger pool collect & return.
    The other 2 boats are used for cleanup.
    As the Events get closer we ask other Co-Op members to Ghost rod the Oyster Boats.
    If I'm on-line when the event starts I'll get a GML, but miss the Mermaid, depending on it not being even shorter in time. They told us 5 days & give us 2 days, with out Gold impossible to finish.
    As a non Gold buyer I have to put up with what I can get & be happy with that.
    Happy Fishing

    in the shortened version you'd have to be running on 21 from the start to finish to get all the hardworker items - most of which has been devalued, as have all the hardworkers as ggs obviously decided that quality 'free stuff' was now a no-no

    the gold you'd have to spend to complete that little fiasco would be ridiculous

    as an aside, remember all the talk about 'no, we're not watering down HW rewards across the board, we've just created a new randomizer to make it more fun for you'.......... LMAO i think they need to check what the word random means, the poorer versions of items rewarded have remained since they first used that line (almost), random has become very consistent these days

    as was said in the Outlaw Josey Wells (the 2nd greatest Western of all time), dont' P on my back and tell me it's raining

    Is it just me, or did I notice a certain lack of the usual regular players in the top 10 (AU1 Server). Could it be that the gold buyers are sending a message to GGS. I sincerely hope so. Despite that, I was very happy to see first place taken by a non gold buyer, just unfortunate it wasn't me.  :)
  • Uncle John (GB1)Uncle John (GB1) GB1 Posts: 11,004
    It looked similar on GB1 @5-10 Man (AU1), I finished 7th instead of my normal 107th and I was only running at 13pps.

    Interesting comment just popped up in another thread. Worth the read...

    I've been counting 9 a second and over since the fishing event began (currently have the whistle red and steaming) and am still only 872nd, so no reward.
    What the heck do people do to actually get a ranking reward?

    You have to get to 10 PPS several times during the course of the event, which gives you a +1 bonus point every time you do so.  You need to build up to 16 or 17 Points Per Second in order to reach the 3.6 Million point reward.

    It's pretty much impossible to do without speeding boats and/or skipping fish that you don't have any of. Therefore, I don't bother with it.

    It's a shame really. One of my favorite events when it was first introduced. I finally won my last trawler (upgrading as we speak), so that will be it for me unless they restore it to it's original length. (Actually, it would be nice if they lengthened the event like they did for some other events.) 
  • Xcution (INT1)Xcution (INT1) INT1 Posts: 1,183
    They played 2 events(not by chance but that was intentional) just to know how players react to the fhew and at that time players just want to compete and yes they spent a lot so devs got what they want the event time goes to  96 hours to 71 hours 30 minutes that's nothing to be something talked about don't worey

    How you at all aown boats or can fish somewhere whwere you can find the fish which is needed for HWE? It shows me just "The fish can´t be found in any of your current fishing location. Fully fish the location to create new ones". How will I do that??? If I rent a boat, it gives me to fish on the current locations, clicking on Oleg makes the same, and in any other way i can+ t start fishing. Or is there some hidden trick?
  • 5-10 Man (AU1)5-10 Man (AU1) AU1 Posts: 249
    You need to have your fishing region operational... What I believe you are looking at is just Oleg's fishing, not the boats available in the dockyard/fishing sections.

    Try reading here for valuable information:

    Thank you! I have no Flower Farm yet and started fishing level 18, so it´ s impossible for me at all to compete that fishing event, but I don´t understand, why it is offered to me at all, if I don´t qualifying at all..
  • 5-10 Man (AU1)5-10 Man (AU1) AU1 Posts: 249
    Don't need to have the flower farm. You already qualify, but first, completing all of "Oleg's Tasks" opens up the dockyard area and allows you to buy motorboats. Read that link I sent, especially the link on that page to Oleg's Tasks. You certainly won't be in time for this event, but you will get another chance.
