http://www.lineage2.com/archive/2007/01/fishing_champio_1.html

The Fishermen’s Guild Members are looking for the top fishermen in the lands of Aden and Elmore. If you’re one of the best fishers, you might win fame and fortune!

Players of any level can participate, so grab your fishing pole beginning January 30 to take part in the Fishing King Championship Tournament. New to fishing? Now’s the time to learn the basics and get out there!

To kick off the tournament, the winners for the first two weeks will win a special head accessory called Eva’s Mark.

Schedule and Ranking

The championship tournament is held on a weekly cycle. During the competition, players vie to catch the biggest fish. The results are ranked based on the size of the fish they caught, with the biggest fish determining the winner.

The top five fishers of the first week’s tournament will be determined on Monday, February 5. At that time, a new tournament begins for the second week of the event. Winners for that week will be determined on the following Monday, February 12. The tournament will continue to run weekly with winners determined every Monday.

The current status of the tournament can be viewed by clicking the Contest button in the Fishing window. The current results can also be viewed by speaking with a Fisherman’s Guild Member after the results of the first week have been calculated.

Catching the Big One

A big fish is measured by length only. Fish between 60.000 and 90.000 can be caught with any normal type of fishing lure, including Lure for Beginners. A Prize-Winning Fishing Lure increases your chances of catching an even larger fish.

If you catch a fish worthy of ranking in the tournament, a system message displays to let you know that you have been registered in the current ranking. If you are beaten later in the rankings, a system message will not display to inform you – so keep checking the current ranking list!

When more than one competitor has a winning fish that are all the same in size, the person who caught the first fish wins.

Claiming the Prize

Championship prizes are awarded by a Fisherman’s Guild Member, and you only have one week to claim your prize. The Fisherman’s Guild Member award a weekly prize of Adena based on ranking:

* 1st Place: 800,000 Adena
* 2nd Place: 500,000 Adena
* 3rd Place: 300,000 Adena
* 4th Place: 200,000 Adena
* 5th Place: 100,000 Adena

Winners chosen on February 5 and February 12 will also receive an exclusive, rare in-game head accessory known as Eva’s Mark. This golden symbol of Eva’s favor is also known in the Elven language as the "Soaring Bird." Eva's Mark cannot be dropped, exchanged, or sold. This item will be given to the winners during the maintenance period at a later date.

Good luck!
