Single Fish contracts ... Why you should only Fill them.

I have come across many players, who were filling all the fish contracts , all types ...
Since the single fish contracts are perhaps the key to making lots and lots of dollars, it is important to spread the word about why only to fill single fish contracts.

This is a Single fish contract ....


The value indicates how much more dollars you get for the contract.
In this particular contract, the value 99 will give you a bonus 25 % more dollars when you fill this contract.


So , The contract which is giving you 8,385,575 dollars ... will now give you an additional 2,096,393 dollars completely FREE.

Sell Price of 1 Oyster = 1500 Dollars  ( when sold directly )
Sell price of 1 oyster  =  4539 Dollars ( when filled in a Value 99 contract )

Now We come to the benefits of Co-operative subscription.


If you place your mouse cursor on the Yellow Icon ... it will show you how many members of your co-operative have subscribed to the co-operative subscription.

You can also go to the Big Farm Club page and see the number of members currently subscribed to the co-operative subscription.



If you go to the Big Farm Club page, you will see the benefits of the co-operative subscription.
One KEY benefit in it is related to Fish Market Contracts ...


Opening the co-operative Bonus List, you can see 2 Major benefits ... related to Fish Market contracts.


If you have 30 members in your co-op who have purchased the co-op subscription,
Your Fish contracts will get filled by 20% fishes ... automatically ... by the benefit of the subscription.
And each fish contract will give you an additional 20% more dollars for the Fish contract.

In the above mentioned Oyster Contract ....


462 Fishes were filled by the co-op subscription .... YES.
As soon as the contract arrives, it comes with the 462 Fishes pre-filled.

So, now, you have to fill only 1847 Fishes ... and the dollars you get are the following ...
Dollars from Fish contract = 8,385,575
Dollars from Value 99 = 2,096,393
Dollars from additional 20% benefit from co-op Subscription = 1,677,115
Dollars from additonal 20% benefit from co-op subscription applied to Value 99 = 419,278

Total Dollars Earned = 12,578,361
Amount of Fishes you filled = 2309 - 462 = 1847
Sell value of each Oyster = 6810 Dollars.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lester Level 10 Additional benefit :

If you open the contract to fill the fishes ... you will see a place to click ... the Lester Dot


Total Cost to Upgrade the Lester to level 10 ... is

You can refer the prices for all levels on crazybigfarm website ....

Clicking on the Lester Dot, Lester will fill an additional 230 Oysters
So, now you will have to fill only 1617 fishes ... which gives you a total of 12,578,361 dollars.

So, Sell Price of 1 Oyster is now = 7778 Dollars.

At level 20 Lester , Sell price of each Oyster = 9068
At level 30 Lester , Sell price of each Oyster = 10,871
......
........
........
.........
......
At level 70 Lester, Sell Price of each Oyster =  54,688 Dollars !!!

And , of course .... At level 80 Lester ... You have to fill 0 fishes in all Single Fish contracts ...

One Second later ....


The oysters you had in inventory, which was 4493 Oysters, will remain the same ... 4493 and the contract gets filled.
So, you got the 12,578,361 Dollars ... for 0 fishes donated.


Why should you fill only single fish contracts and not multiple fish contracts .. ?

Because, Taking the Value of single fish contracts ... to level 99 is easier.
and because, The lester fills only 1 Product in any contract ... So why fill any fishes in any other contract, when you can fill them in single fish contracts and make more dollars per fish.

How to get More Single Fish contracts ?

Go to your Fish Market .... see all the 6 contracts there are there now ...



Decline all the multiple fish type contracts .... JUST DECLINE THEM !!! ....
Keep the Single fish type contracts ... which you can fill in a week ...
If you get a Huge Singe fish contract ... asking for 9000 Tunas and you feel you cannot fill it in 7 days, simply decline it.
Or if you get a Fish contract asking for 3000 Chum, decline it.
Any single fish contract, which you feel you cannot complete in a 7 days, simply decline them ....

And then .... wait for 30 minutes ...


If However, you are feeling lucky or simply dont have time to wait ... or have lots of gold :)
You can instantly get another contract for a price of 60 Gold.

After 30 minutes ,

You will get 6 new contracts ....



Decline the multiple fish contracts and keep the single fish contracts ...

Keep checking every 30 minutes, and keep choosing the Single fish contracts you want to fill and decline the rest.

    Those players who already fill contracts like this, Kindly give your input and more suggestions , so that newer players can benefit and they can develop their farms and enjoy Farming more :)

    Well yeah, in theory its more efficient because of Lester :))

    But Im trying to increase all 4-5-6 fish contracts and by being picky on what i really want

    I can get really nice ones , with a lot of variety and not too hard to complete

    Salmon with Lester  and other requests are fairly respectable for 55M :) I try to search for very specific. i try to include Mermaids bay products and Oyster chum as much as possible now :)) its still a work in progress

    Well, TMKC

    I still dont grasp that u dont understand , you dont have a Natural/Normal gameplay

    You play all out / Godmode , 13 Million gold ;o

    Its nowhere near any standard/average players :D

    Funny , i got exactly what i'm looking for ! :disappointed:

    This pretty much count like a single fish contract with the lesser quantities asked :)

    This is one I filled today:


    18% is filled from Lester's secret stash and 2% is filled from the cooperative subscription.

    I plan to upgrade Lester's secret stash to level 20 soon and then I will save up to complete the rest of my flower farm upgrades and then continue to save to improve Lester's secret stash since I won't really need to spend large amounts of farm dollars on other things excluding the temporary farms.

    But you would agree that you would earn a larger profit from using them in one item contracts because you can use Lester's secret stash to decrease the number of fish whenever they are used compared to not being able to have that benefit with two or more item contracts?

    A little bit yes :)

    But my point is aiming at diversity, so i can complete more contracts :)

    Your contract needs 5385 fishes for completion

    Mine needs 5356 fishes for completion

    Yeah your Lester will give you a bit more fishes, compared to how i'll use it on Salmon :)

    I'm still working on my technique , Im just starting to see very nice contracts 

    Im trying to get more Mermaid's items in the contracts and more Oyster chums, So it makes them easier to complete :D



    I dont dislike that one :) 1 Value fish , 2 rare fish

    As iM also trying to increases contract bonuses as much as possible ( testing to see if there is new/interesting things later on )

    As most people just kept doing 1/2 item contracts and now pretty much switching to 1 item contracts lol

    Assuming , a player is a non gold buyer ...
    Assuming, his co-op has 0 players with the co-op subscription.

    This player can upgrade his/her lester to level 10 ... at some point.
    If he completes only single fish contracts, he/she will benefit quite a bit more than ... if he were to complete all fish contracts. Taking the value to 99 in all Fish contracts isnt easy.

    The co-op subscription and higher lester levels are additional benefits. They amplify the amount of dollars one can earn with single fish contracts.

    I have yet to meet a player who shifted from multiple fish contracts to single fish contracts and isnt a happier Farmer.

    Try it yourself, and let us know :)

    Nah I know :)

    But you know, What is instant advantage isnt always long term advantage :)

    I doubt many people ever tried to get up 6 fish contracts above 20/30 =)

    So who knows whats there at 99!

    its probably not that great, but Ill still enjoy the ride, and love being maybe the first :)

    Unless you go for it! :o

    Do you actually "Need" anything with your current progression in the game?

    It seems to me, like everything must look pretty boring :)

    Ok. I usually just try to maximise the farm dollar profit from contracts though so I will stick with the one item contracts. But all the best for maximising the contract value of the contracts that request for larger numbers of fish.

    Yes. It's very beneficial even if it is only upgraded to level 10.

    One thing I have also spotted is somewhere around level 40, you start to be able to afford the upgrades faster than the previous ones. So I like to think of it as a snowball effect, which after a large amount of work/patience/gold allows you to afford those upgrades even faster than previously and once the building is completed, it will help tremendously with being able to afford upgrades, especially if some players have the cooperative subscription like you mentioned.

    How you people get too high dollar contracts? Highest dollars from 1 contract for me is 50M only.

    I have had some asking for over 200 million dollars before. But I haven't seen any like that for a very long time and the largest I have seen recently are those two other contracts that are both 5k+ salmon contracts.

    When you decline contracts ... you get new options ... in form of Single fish contracts.
    In general, a player will have less SOC ( Shrimp,oysters,clams) fishes in inventory. They will have Lobs the highest, then herrings, then Cods.
    Tuna and Swordfishes and Salmon quantity in Inventory is somewhere in between.
    The aim is to sell off as many Herrings and Cods through single fish contracts ...
    Now, if you keep getting only SOC single fish contracts and you dont have them in inventory, Just decline the contract.
    Every 30 minutes, you get new contracts ...
    The probability is more of you getting a single fish contract of the fish you have in huge number in inventory,if you see more contracts ... you see more contracts, if you decline more contracts ...

    The downside of declining a contract is that the value drops ...
    But, at value 99 .... you can decline upto 15 contracts in a row and the value stays at 99.
    Its not a bug, its how the market is created by GGS.
    Also, every now and then, you will get herrings and cods contracts, which will break the constant declining of contracts trend.

Did not bought the last 2 plots on the FF because he don,t need them. The MF and GF are very deep in the red(no deco,s). But he is very carefull with fishing. Only looks 1 time a week to what he can put in a contract and then only when he can Fill that contract. 
    Generating about 85 millions every 24hours NETTO. And has his lester stash  on level 16% but uses it on every contract he can fill,get the dollars and then looks at the next contract etc etc.

    I delete a LOT of contracts, but don't focus solely on single fish.  I usually look at cost/benefit ratio and what I have that I can part with. At some point, the $1,000,000,000+ money you have in your account is not as attractive when you have everything upgraded and all plots bought. When there is little to work towards, it will get a bit boring I fear.  I've hit that number already and struggle to spend it!  I will eventually delete decos and have more production, but I'm really not in a race to do it.  Few in my coop really participate in anything, so that is a whole different ballgame.

    Struggle to spend 1 billion dollars ?  :)

    Benny bargain ... 2 items will use up 1 billion dollars, if you buy to max quantity allowed.
    It takes nearly 120 billion to upgrade Lab to 100, and you can have 3 in total , one in each farm.
    The 65% co-op boosters for rps in CC and CHWE cost a lot of dollars. ( 70% doesnt work, there is a bug in it )

    Dollars can never be enough ... untill you have 1 trillion perhaps. Then you can relax and sit back.

    I like to stick to 4 types fish contracts and below. The less shellfish needed in them the better because these pools are rare. Most of my contracts are now in the level 99 range and I believe the boat crew and equipment is key. I won't go into much detail about strategy, lets just say I cant remember the last time i've used coolers or protection on my boats.

    While the whole subscription package thing has its uses your strategy only works if players are willing to spend real money on the game.

    No . Single fish contract dont need a single dollar spent in game to work better than multiple fish contracts. Every single player WILL make more dollars if they sell their fishes through single fish contracts rather than multiple fish contracts.

    The strategy is to fill only single fish contracts , co-op subscription benefits mentioned here are just an additional way of boosting those benefits.
  • ijrosh (US1)ijrosh (US1) US1 Posts: 1,325
    the only thing to make this work and be better is your play time. if you play a lot and can delete enough to get enough 1 item then of course it is best. if your lester is just at level 1 then you are missing out on a extra 1 percent of every fish in the other contracts. so if you have one asking for cod,tuna,lobster and you click lester for tuna. then you are loosing out on 1 percent of the cod and 1 percent of the lobster. intill i started doing this i had so many fish in inventory that i sort of stopped fishing. i thought what was the point i was never going to be able to sell them all it kept asking for was too many claims. and now i am always waiting on swordfish and usually salmon and tuna. i went through and still go through my inventory a lot faster then i did trying to do the other ones. with lester anything over a 1 item you are losing fish. whether or not you use gold or have the coop subscription. lester only works on one there fore any more then one you are losing out on. i just had to delete single swordfish because i had 6 of them. i still have 2 that i am trying to fill. i also delete and fill so many that i do get single lobster. but i do play a lot and that makes a big difference in this style of play.

    Yes, checking contracts as often as possible and declining the unwanted ones is the key to getting more contracts to choose from in a day.
    On US server, there are many co-op's which can make use of the co-op subs.
  • ijrosh (US1)ijrosh (US1) US1 Posts: 1,325
    i never said the coop sub was not worth it or helpful. my coop has 9 members but that cost real life money. my point was with spending 0 real life dollars if lester was just at level 1 and you play a lot to be able to delete the contracts. then the 1 item way is still the most profitable. no matter how much gold or real life money is spent.

    Ok nice. I play like that as well and it works well except I use the farm dollars for other upgrades.
