FISHING ROD :S

As I said. MonstaMunch cannot prove anything. But with the single finding of a rod outside of CT and without wearing the tricorne, you can prove him wrong and even get a Demigod's and a legacy Kaom's for it.
I mean, rods are still not Scrolls of Wisdom that drop at every corner. He's got a hypothesis (or claim) that you can only find it wearing the hat. This hypothesis was derived from observation, i.e. that everyone who found a rod was either on CT or wearing said hat.
This is of course extraordinary in this purely RNG dominated game - but so was the fact that the earth is not the centre of the universe back in the days.
By finding a rod without those two conditions checked, you can easily prove the hypothesis wrong. Monsta does not have to prove it, you have to disprove it since evidence seems to be contrary to your claim that it is just an RNG based drop.

That said, I have no clue if the claimed evidence (i.e. everyone found rods only on CT or while Fairgrave's Tricorne was donned) is really there and I don't intend to check.

However, someone claiming something based on data and someone else disproving it by finding an example to the contrary is standard procedure in science - only there it is mostly more difficult, since it's seldom enough to only find ONE single piece of data to disprove anything.

So actually, Monsta's part is done. He (claims to have) analyzed the data and derived a hypothesis. Now others may test it and disprove him. But he cannot further prove his point. He himself could only disprove it by finding a rod himself under the conditions mentioned before.

Make a video of yourself or someone doing all the ritual and wearing a tricorn and dropping the Rod.

How would that prove anything? You'd still say it was rng and that the other stuff was coincidental.

Nope, I would not say that, I would then apologies publicly.

Then this in itself is an admission that you lied. If you really found a rod without the tricorne, then even if I did as stated as above, it wouldn't change the fact that I was wrong. Your willingness to accept I might not be wrong is clear proof that what you said simply isn't true.

@Antnee, your friend was wearing a fairgrave's tricorne or he was in coward's trail. That's a simple statement of fact, not a question.

Afaik the main things that boost the chances are:

- Eternalling the tricorne (though the tricorne must be worn no matter what, unless in coward's trail)

- Running 3 circles around the waypoint after entering a new instance

- Typing #Jabberjawsyoloswag in global chat at the start of each new instance

- Carrying a stack of feathers as you farm

Well, they sell for quite a bit. Then again, people pay out the ass for homeopathic spring water.
