At Tier 1, the fishies learn to eat meat. Tier 2 gets more verbs and an 'interaction' with Dhu Kittens. Tier 3 allows customers to name their fishies, and unlocks another verb, along with changes in the lower tier verbs to reference the fishie's proper name. Tier 4 gets ambient scripts (which can be toggled off and on). Tier 5 allows the fishie to eat low cost items that are neither magical nor metal. Tier 6 allows fishies to consume magic and metal items and items of higher value.

Fishies are scripted pets introduced at Ebon Gate 2018 by GM Quilic and distributed and unlocked by an NPC named Ambie at Caligos Isle only. At release, fishies had four tiers available. At Ebon Gate 2019, fishies received an upgrade that provided two additional tiers, for a total of six.

Analyze

Below is the base ANALYZE. Additional information found in the ANALYZE as part of tier unlocks can be found beneath each additional tier.

Tier 2

At this tier, fishies get more verbs and become to interact with Dhu kittens.

Tier 3

At this tier, Ambie will add a name to the fishie which only the owner will see in all the verb messaging. This unlocks another verb as well.

This fish's sack is being held closed by a length of wire.

Certain merchants may alter the items listed above in bold text, but no other alterations are possible.

It will also react to STARE, RAISE (when worn), POKE, POINT, NUDGE, TURN, and SHAKE.  Your fishie has a name, and you can feed it anything at all (that's not too valuable)!  Be aware that you will LOSE any item you feed it forever.

Additional Information

Look

Fishies come in "a translucent sack", which cannot be altered in any way. There are four items that can be customized, however, by any willing merchant: the fish size and type, fish color, fish eyes, and sack closure. When LOOKed at, the sack shows:

This translucent sack is a little more than half-filled with brackish water.  Drifting in the sack is (a relatively small piranha), with some decidedly unusual features.  The fish's head is too large for its body, and its scales are a (muddy brown) color.  Massively oversized teeth protrude from the fish's jawline, and its eyes are bloodshot, with one twice the size of the other.  The translucent sack is held tightly shut with (a length of strong wire).
