Working capitalUp to 11,000 raw marlin for the reference hour
LocationBank boat with a chum facility
Requirements
Mandatory and recommended are kept separate
Hard requirements
A knife or fitted chum facility
The fish must be processed with a knife, chum station, advanced chum station or chum spreader.
Bank boat access
The reference route banks without moving the ship.
Recommended
99 Cooking
Reaches the verified 100% marlin-scale success rate.
Chum spreader
Cuts four marlin per game tick for the 11,000-per-hour reference.
Advanced chum station
Cuts three per tick when the spreader is not unlocked.
Chum station
Cuts two per tick at lower facility requirements.
Location and access
Bank boat with a chum facility
Sail a boat with the best unlocked chum facility to a bank boat and position it so the banker can be reached without moving.
Keep raw marlin beside the deposit control and verify scale sales before processing an hourly batch.
Gear progression
Only equipment that changes this method
Basic
Knife preparation
CookingUse a knife at the bank boat when no fitted chum facility is available.

+No unrelated items
Method
A repeatable practical cycle
Choose the facility
Use a knife for one fish per three ticks, a chum station for two per tick, an advanced station for three or a spreader for four.
Position at the bank boat
Keep the banker accessible without moving the ship.
Process a full load
Use raw marlin on the knife or fitted chum facility.
Bank both outputs
Deposit fine fish offcuts and marlin scales, then withdraw the next load.
Adjust below 99
Expect fewer scale successes until 99 Cooking rather than trusting the level 99 output model.
XP vs profit
What changes the tradeoff
About 22K Cooking XP/hr at 11,000 marlin
Each processed marlin gives 2 Cooking XP. Scale success rises linearly to 100% at 99 Cooking, so the live three-scale recipe is the level 99 reference rather than a promise for level 90.
Profitability
Wiki reference plus your assumptions
Expected profit depends on market prices, pace and the Wiki method assumptions.

Common mistakes
Method-specific checks
Using the 11,000 rate without a chum spreader
Treating the 99 Cooking scale yield as guaranteed at level 90
Confusing fish preparation with cooking the marlin
Buying an hourly stack before testing marlin-scale liquidity
