On occasion, a lucky [[Fishing|Fisher]] or [[Aquarium]]-owner will discover a '''Message in a Bottle'''. Looking inside will reveal either a [[Image:Waterstained_sos.png]] '''A Waterstained SOS''' or, on a 1 in 25 chance, an [[Image:Ancient_sos.png]] '''An Ancient SOS'''.

While attempting to bring up the chest, you may on occasion bring up other bits of random items with the special tag '''Recovered from a Shipwreck'''. As of [[Publish 105]], items brought up from an '''Ancient SOS''' will also have the name of the shipwreck on it. You may get the message '''You fish for a while but fail to catch anything''' or '''You pull out [item]'''. The count of such items ranges from 0 (chest directly fished up) to at least 20 items (VorLesh(Luck 140) of Drachenfels September 19, 2017 [20 items and 8 fishing attempt bearing nothing + chest in 29 attempts]).

On occasion, a lucky Fisher or Aquarium-owner will discover a Message in a Bottle. Looking inside will reveal either a Waterstained sos.png A Waterstained SOS or, on a 1 in 25 chance, Ancient sos.png An Ancient SOS.

Travelling to the location the message specifies gives you the chance to attempt to fish a chest up from the ocean floor, though at least 65.0 skill points in Fishing are required for a chance of succeeding.

Pre-chest Loot

While attempting to bring up the chest, you may on occasion bring up other bits of random items with the special tag Recovered from a Shipwreck. As of Publish 105, items brought up from an Ancient SOS will also have the name of the shipwreck on it. You may get the message You fish for a while but fail to catch anything or You pull out [item]. The count of such items ranges from 0 (chest directly fished up) to at least 20 items (VorLesh(Luck 140) of Drachenfels September 19, 2017 [20 items and 8 fishing attempt bearing nothing + chest in 29 attempts]). Such articles include:
