Best Fishing Rod for Sunken?

[Divanochi]

Luring bronze rod is seen mathematically as the best rod for catching sunken, both with and without accounting for pity

Luring Collectors is dead, long live Luring Bronze

Introduction Sunkens have a pity system now, so we need to figure out a new best fishing strategy to be prepared for the release of AO. Actually, no, the release is a long way ahead and fishing is boring, but I’m also bored so I’ll make a long winded post pretending it matters. Methodology We need a way to find the average number of catches required to catch a sunken item. One of the ways to do that is the following: Suppose you’re fishing for sunkens, every catch has a 1/2000 chance to be a…
