Community-documented values are estimates and should be checked in the current build.

Warning: overcooking on the Grill can reduce an item’s value to zero. This version does not model timing or burn probability.

How the estimate works

The calculator multiplies base value × the Killscore multiplier shown by the game × cooking multiplier. A selected green Roulette result applies the reported 35× winning payout. This is not an official stacking formula; unknown bonuses and probabilities are intentionally not modelled.

Use results carefully

  • Values imported from a Patch 1.0.4 community guide need Patch 1.0.12 gameplay verification.
  • Grill can reduce a catch to zero when it burns; Lava is shown as the documented 1.50× maximum.
  • Roulette output is a winning payout, not expected return or guaranteed profit.
  • Browse the shared fish price table or review Rich! Millionaire context.

Cooking and Reel of Fortune FAQ

How do you remove the cooked or fried look from equipment?

Dip the weapon or tool in water, then pick it back up. Patch 1.0.10 officially added water cleaning for cooked weapons and tools. Equipment cleaning is separate from the fish-cooking multipliers in this calculator.

Why does the Reel of Fortune do nothing when I insert a fish?

Community-reported / Limited confirmation: the machine may require a special Drip Fish, so an ordinary fish may produce no response. The reported reward may be an item skin, and keyboard players report using Z/C to switch skins. These details are not official, are not confirmed for controllers or every device, and are not included in this calculator’s formula.

For the Reel of Fortune report only: version unconfirmed. It is a limited community report, not a verified Reel of Fortune rule or a guaranteed fix. It does not change the official Patch 1.0.10 equipment-cleaning answer or the base value, Killscore, cooking, or green winning-payout calculation above.
