How difficult to get fish fillet?

So now, I am at level 27, and my ship is being built. My 12th boat is arriving, and it asks for fish fillets. Based on 7-11th boat, it should be 3 crates, in which I have to use all 3 ask-for-help. I have been helping others to fill crates lately (filled 77 for others so far), and it seems to me fish fillets are kinda common to be asked and left. So I wonder whether I should restrict login until 2 days later so that I have ~16 hours to get some fillets myself. I should be able to do all other 6 crates by the way.

You will have to spend time making a lure to fish with before you can catch one. Free lures take 1.5 hours. If you use a voucher it goes faster.

I see. I do have 17 vouchers. In case I am asked 21 fillets for the 3 crates, how long would it take normally to get them myself?

Fish fillets are rare and prized items for higher level players. Many people will not fill fish crates.

However, as with sugar and dairy, people in lower levels will fill them. In the case of fish, people who have opened their fishing areas but do not yet have fish pies, fish soup, etc. They have nothing else to do with their fish fillets but sell them or fill crates with them.

You might have trouble getting your neighbors to fill fish crates. But IME, if you open it up to everyone, someone will fill just about any crate. Put an ad on something in your RSS after you flag your crates, and your ad will be flagged in the newspaper. People will rush to your farm to see how they can help.

Thanks for the response. I guess I have no choice but trying my luck then. Although my ship is 2d 11h from being built, I dont see myself much chance filling the crates myself. Ship is arriving in 2h, and luckily, it is now weekend.

It might be tough catching that many fish yourself. Making the lures takes time, even using vouchers, and then there's a refresh time for the fishing area. You can open additional areas, but they take LEM.

If I were you, I'd ask for help here on the forum. It's your 12th boat. People will want to help you. There's someone trading fish fillets in the expansion item trading thread, and someone offering Tom's services in exchange for expansion items there, too. There's the food trading thread. There's the boat help thread. People here will come through for you.

You can always send your boat away completely empty. That is what I would do in this instance.

But it's her 12th boat. If she fills it, she gets Captain III. If she sends it away, she has to start over.

[TRADE] Foods Items and other Produced Goods here - GC and make a Deal! Probably I am too late but you may find this thread useful. Good Luck.

Ah, right. Didn't pick up on that. Bad timing repairing the fishing boat then. 😢 Fish fillets are a scarce commodity. Hopefully someone who uses nets will answer your call for help. Good luck!
