We have an urgent request from the Moongate Hub cafeteria, the sole lunar establishment for providing foodstuffs to members of the initiative. A delay in deliveries from Etheirys has left the culinarians with no ingredients on hand to cook. Thus, we must turn to sources of nourishment local to Sinus Ardorum─namely, fish. As similar emergencies may occur during our interstellar expeditions, this is an opportunity for us to learn from experience. We urge contributors to gather the requested number of fish and deliver them as soon as possible.

Strategy

There are two main strategies for getting Gold on this mission:

1) Use Chum for every cast until all required fish have been caught.

Note that this method is somewhat RNG-based (depending on getting fish with shorter bite times), and the timing is tight.
Some players will use Surface Slap on fish with longer bite times, and Identical Cast on fish with shorter bite times to assist with this strategy.

2) Focus instead on trying to use Triple Hook on Grand Crowntail Betta (! bite at 20+ seconds). This is the only fish that double/triple hook will work on.

If you want to guarantee the use of Triple Hook is on the correct fish (as there are multiple ! bite fish), catch fish normally, saving enough GP for an Identical Cast when you catch a Grand Crowntail Betta. Recover enough GP by using a Hi-Cordial or any Thaliak's Favor to reach at least the 700 GP needed for Triple Hook and then cast.
