Day 22 — One Last Cast: Farewell, Barbarian River

Here comes the last day of fishing! After days beside the waters of Barbarian Village, I’m about 90% through level 82, ready to land that sweet 83 Fishing and call it a wrap. It’s been a long, calm grind — with more trout and salmon than I can count — but I’m already thinking of what’s next.

First stop: turning all these uncut rubies into amulets of strength and making some well-earned coins.

Let’s wrap up today by honoring the progress:
📜 Levels gained: 83 Fishing, 85 Cooking
💎 Looted & bought: 515 uncut rubies
🎁 Reward caskets banked: 65!

What’s next? Maybe a fresh skill to hunt more clue scrolls... maybe something a little more leafy? I’ll reflect on it while stringing those ruby amulets, one by one.

🪶 Bird fact of the day:
Not all places are bursting with bird diversity — some countries, especially smaller or more isolated ones, have only a handful of species. Here are the Top 5 countries with the fewest recorded bird species:

1. San Marino – ~90 species

2. Monaco – ~105 species

3. Nauru – ~110 species

4. Tuvalu – ~115 species

5. Vatican City – ~120 species

Tiny size, urban development, or geographic isolation can limit bird diversity. Still, even the smallest patch of sky might surprise you with a winged visitor!

📦 See you tomorrow, adventurers!

Whether you're wielding a bronze axe or stringing ruby amulets, every XP counts. May your clue scrolls be kind, your logs filled with secrets, and your adventures as rich as your bank is modest.

👋 Until then — stay curious, stay proud, and keep walking that F2P path with style.
