    The bag has a 1/10,000 drop rate. Why 1/10,000? 1/1,000 is too common and 1/100,000 is too uncommon. Even if you open 10,000 boxes you have a 64% chance of obtaining the bag. Therefore if you completely fish up 100% boxes with all of the 3150 bait you're given, you have a 28% chance to get the bag. I could be wrong about 1/10,000 but, it has to be between 1/1,000 and 1/10,000 but the latter seems more reasonable for DevCat standards.

    So uh, what's the source on those quick maths?

    people are mistaken. There's no such bag :^)

    Perhaps... only pure minded person can see the bag.

    Maybe the bag has things inside of it, that we just arent suppose to see.

    So in theory, I should get one with my 4 characters I'm fishing with... Cool. Shame it takes forever for 2 of them though... :/

    Do we have to do this while looking into a mirror or other reflective surface? Is this why this is an ICE fishing event?

    First you must run Peaca backwards without using magic or pots, sacrifice another god to Cichol while standing on one hand, and take the Mirror Witch to the prom while being an actual incubus, then you may, MAY, have a chance at getting the bag (as long as you don't want to use it).

    That's not how probability works.

    Yea I herd...I'm not buying dat story tho. Anybody can open with a shop with click-bait title 2 troll peeps with a highly sought item pretending it sold @ major undercut prices to trigger desperate peeps. :o

    I'll believe it when I see more definitive proof of such an insane act. :*

    I've opened nearly 1000 traps (item fishing pole and trashing anything but diamonds gem-wise since I already have multiple pets overflowing with 10cm gems) and have yet to see the black bag.

    I noted the person who was selling the bag for 15m. They noted me back saying they sold it in their shop. However I know the person, they are are a returning player who I was in their guild in 2012. Could have just not fully known the price of the bag and not paid attention to party signs.
