# Entropy

## What is Entropy?

Entropy is used as the plugins custom currency. You earn this in many forms and is used to craft augments and upgrade your deliveries in **/fish deliveries.**

**Entropy** is essential to your entire experience within fishing. Without it, you cannot upgrade your deliveries or craft augments.

## How to earn Entropy

There are many ways to earn entropy in PyroFishingPro. Below is a table outlining all of the possible ways to earn Entropy from fish themselves. Below will be ways that you can increase the output of the values. 

{% hint style="danger" %}
These are only default values and these may differ from what your server offers. You can view the Gutting Values in /fish gut. Catching values must be manually calculated by using your fish stats
{% endhint %}

| Tier         | Catching Fish | Gutting Fish |
| ------------ | ------------- | ------------ |
| **Bronze**   | 45            | 40           |
| **Silver**   | 110           | 120          |
| **Gold**     | 200           | 200          |
| **Diamond**  | 350           | 500          |
| **Platinum** | 1250          | 1000         |
| **Mythical** | 10000         | Not Guttable |

Below are the different ways entropy can be increased / maximised by using different parts of the plugin together.

## Augments

If you wish to maximise your Entropy earnings, you should invest in the following Augments:

| Augment                                                                                                                  | Description                                                                              |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Hot Spot](https://pyrotempus.gitbook.io/pyro-plugins/pyrofishingpro/augments/augments-list#hot-spot)                    | Ables you to catch multiple fish at once, allowing you to Gut more fish for more Entropy |
| [Call of the Storm](https://pyrotempus.gitbook.io/pyro-plugins/pyrofishingpro/augments/augments-list#call-of-the-storm)  | Same as Hot Spot but works in the rain.                                                  |
| [Precision Cutting](https://pyrotempus.gitbook.io/pyro-plugins/pyrofishingpro/augments/augments-list#preceision-cutting) | Gives you more entropy from gutting fish.                                                |
| [Perception](https://pyrotempus.gitbook.io/pyro-plugins/pyrofishingpro/augments/augments-list#perception)                | Gives you more entropy from catching fish. (multiplies the base entropy earnings)        |

## Boosters

The best way to multiply the amount of entropy you earn is through boosters. These can be normally earned from delivery rewards by default or spawned in using the **/fish giveitem** command. You can check your booster status using **/fish boosters**

**Entropy Boosters** can have any multiplier attached to them. These will last **30 minutes** each and provide a boost to the entropy earned from **catching fish only**. Entropy Boosters do not affect gutting or any other forms of earning entropy.

## Totems

Totems are another excellent way to earn Entropy - however Totems are **mid to late** game multiblock structures. Using the **Entropy Horder** passive ability allows you to earn up-to 25% more entropy from every fish you catch. 

You might also want to consider using **Mythical Waters** and **Fish Schools** as these will increase the tiers of fish you catch and increase [Hot Spot](https://pyrotempus.gitbook.io/pyro-plugins/pyrofishingpro/augments/augments-list#hot-spot) and [Call of the Storm](https://pyrotempus.gitbook.io/pyro-plugins/pyrofishingpro/augments/augments-list#call-of-the-storm) to work more often.

## Skills

Fishing Skills can also be very important to stocking up and building up your entropy stores while fishing. 

It is advised to put a few points into the **Better Gutting** and **Luck of the Catch** skills as these help to improve your entropy from Gutting and from Catching Fish respectively. 

Furthermore, putting points into **Master Augmenter** can benefit if you wish to craft Perception and Precision Cutting and don't already have those augments.

Check out the Skill page for more information on Skills.
