E-E-A-T Standards & Transparency

About HowToFish.quest

HowToFish.quest is an independent, ad-free community field manual and interactive database built for the viral Steam action-fishing simulator How to Fish (developed by Dazed Games).

Our Editorial Pledge: Zero Fabrication

Gaming wikis often suffer from auto-generated AI hallucinated recipes, fabricated drop rates, and unverified rumors. At HowToFish.quest, every number, price, odds ratio, and summoning condition is held to a strict verification standard:

  • No Guesswork on Prices: Every weapon cost and fish base sell value is verified from in-game vendor screens.
  • Distinguishing Bugs from Features: Known issues (e.g. roulette negative balance rollover) are explicitly labeled as suspected bugs, not normal mechanics.
  • Fast Patch Updates: Guides are updated in lockstep with official Dazed Games Steam patch notes (currently covering Patch 1.0.10+).
  • 100% Free & Ad-Free: No popups, no tracking paywalls, and zero performance bloat.
Methodology

Evidence Grading Framework

We categorize all gameplay claims into three transparent tiers across our database and strategy articles:

✅ Verified

Official & In-Game Verified

Directly verified through in-game gameplay testing, official Dazed Games Steam patch notes, or consistent consensus across 20+ hours of video playthroughs.

Examples:Base fish values, weapon shop prices, campfire 1.5x multiplier, boss quest drop requirements.
🟡 Community

Community Reported / Under Review

Reported by multiple players on Steam discussion boards and Community Discord, but without explicit developer confirmation or internal code verification.

Examples:Suspected roulette payout settlement bugs, difficulty damage scaling percentages, rare spawn frequencies.
⚠️ Unconfirmed

Third-Party / Disputed

Early data from external wiki guides or speculative posts that lack independent verification. Always labeled clearly to avoid misinformation.

Examples:Speculative drop tables, unverified cosmetic item lists, rumored secret islands.

Patch Tracking & Changelog Verification

When Dazed Games deploys a new patch on Steam, our editorial workflow triggers the following review:

  1. Changelog Audit: Cross-check reported weapon damage changes, bug fixes, and mechanics additions against existing database files.
  2. In-Game Verification: Confirm that patched interactions (e.g. Patch 1.0.10 water immersion for roasted weapons) behave as documented.
  3. Sitemap & Metadata Refresh: Update timestamps and article notes to reflect the latest game build.
