I had my boat out with a full crew to a 3 skull bigger fish. Got 250BP. Seems I'm get 250BP for them every time now. Which I guess beats 2 gems after an 18 hour voyage
Having same problem as others: Snow on the explore map, and the occasional ice ship--but not a single festive fish or Santa's ship since the update. I checked all ships showing, and none are holiday themed.
Read back. There's a bug where certain people don't get the Festive Fish. Should be fixed before the quests go away. The Santa ship is there for all, I think. Just gotta find it
Nice, going to target them 3 star ones then as the 4 star fish not been that great for me recently. Results of attacking all low lvl stuff was no festive fish
The festive fish is broken for some people. If you don't see one near your island, it doesn't exist for you. Lynsey [Midoki] posted about it. It should be fixed before the quests go away though. And also, in the last update, the BP given by Fishes (and probably other monsters) was nerfed. Those guys that can give 2,000, I've not gotten more than 700 from. Nobody has, that I know of
Found Santa!! At last! I eventually got the grog together to get the final ship and my first trip out west I found him. So here is my theory: Santa can spawn in multiple locations, at least one of which you need the final ship to reach. In many people's case it seems Santa has spawned within reach of lower ships, however if he spawns a long way out he will not 'respawn or shift' until defeated, so if you haven't got the final ship and are unlucky enough that his first spawn is by the edge of the map you will never even see him. So the fact my friends who are lower than me had defeated Santa, is probably down to luck on the first spawn position. Oh, and obviously, still no fish!
Ok, since I have started on this forum, I have been tracking the locations of my Ice and Santa ships. I am providing the list I have so far. You can see a pattern, there are only a few places each ship spawns in. These locations may be different for each player. Here is what I have so far: Spoiler: Ice and Santa coordinates G2-4th Santa H19-6th Ice ship H19-7th Ice ship U16-8th Ice ship D7-5th Santa U16-9th Ice ship B7-6th Santa H19-10th Ice ship U16-11th Ice ship G2-7th Santa H19-12th Ice ship Hope this helps those still searching!
@Stagemanager21 Nice post, but you may want to edit it to put those coordinates in a Spoiler Tag. Some people may like finding things the old fashioned way. To do that, select all the coords in your list, then click the Page/Insert icon (18th from left, or the one to the left of the floppy disk icon), then choose Spoiler. In the Popup, enter a title "Ice and Santa Ship Locations.
Thanks again!! Being a newbie, had no clue how to do that. Thanks for the tutorial!! Went back and fixed the previous post as well. I was so excited to try it, I forgot to mention that the latest ice ship is in a new coordinate. Don't remember ever having one in that location before.
Glad to help, and not a problem. We've all done it before, which is why that tag exists in phpBB Nice coords list you made. It's very helpful. I also maintain a list of coords for BP=giving monsters, (fish, serpents) and it's constantly updated. They do cycle between fixed spots, but every once in a while, they change it up a bit.
Have more new coordinates. Spoiler: Latest coordinates G2-8th Santa N20-14th Ice ship Q7-15th Ice ship
The front is silent. 2 weeks ago I heard they may have a fix the next week.. but that week has passed and no fix, or word on if they will fix it. I assume it will just be left and fixed for next Christmas.
Hmm, Starting to seem like that. Either they're hard at work, or still on holiday. Maybe instead of fixing it, they'll do what Rovio did for a botched holiday event in Epic (I think), and just give us all a nice Xmas present of gems, or something.
