It costs more Vesos than it pays back, so fish for the rare prizes, the Golden Fish trade and a place on the Fishing King board.

== Getting started ==
# Go to the [[Map:Floating Market|Floating Market]]. [[NPC:Spinel|Spinel]] takes you there for free from the main towns, at any level. See [[Thailand]] for the walking route.
# Talk to [[NPC:Kedrick|Kedrick]] at the west pier. His menu has these options:
#* '''Buy 10 Bait (8,000 Vesos)''', which works out to 800 Vesos a bait.
#* '''Buy 10 Delicious Bait (16,000 Vesos)''', which works out to 1,600 Vesos a bait.
#* '''Cast a line''' shows how much bait you hold. '''Stop fishing''' appears while you are fishing.
#* '''Show my catch log''' appears while you are fishing, or after a session.
#* '''Trade 300 Golden Fish for a Strawberry Icecream Bar'''
# Choose '''Cast a line'''. The game tells you that you cast your line, and the catch log opens with a countdown to the next bite.
# Every minute, one bait is used and one catch lands. Delicious Bait is always used first.
# Stop at any time with Kedrick's '''Stop fishing''', or by leaving the map. Fishing also stops when you run out of bait, or when a bag tab that a catch needs is full.

* Bait goes in the Use tab and cannot be traded. If your Use tab is full, Kedrick tells you so.
* Without bait you catch nothing, and Kedrick tells you to buy some first.
* Kedrick also stands at [[Map:The Bund|The Bund]] in old Shanghai with the same menu, but the Fishing King board is only on the Floating Market.

{{Warning|A full bag ends the session, and the bait for that last catch is already spent. Keep room in your Etc and Use tabs.}}

== What you can catch ==
Each catch is one draw from the table below. The odds are per catch, which means per bait.

{| class="wikitable"
! scope="col" | Catch
! scope="col" | Chance per catch
! scope="col" | What you get
|-
| Vesos || 31.8% || 100 to 1,000 Vesos (150 to 1,500 with Delicious Bait)
|-
| EXP || 24.7% || 0.05% to 0.5% of your current level's EXP (0.075% to 0.75% with Delicious Bait)
|-
| [[Item:Golden Fish|Golden Fish]] || 32.2% (about 1 in 3) || For Kedrick's trade, see below
|-
| A fish (20 kinds) || 9.9% in total || See the fish table below
|-
| [[Item:Onyx Apple|Onyx Apple]] || 0.35% (1 in 283) || Recovers 90% HP and MP, and gives +100 Weapon Attack, +100 Magic Attack and +20 Weapon Defence for 10 minutes
|-
| [[Item:Chaos Scroll 60%|Chaos Scroll 60%]] || 0.35% (1 in 283) || One scroll
|-
| [[Item:Pot (4031629)|Pot]] || 0.35% (1 in 283) || One of a kind
|-
| [[Item:Shovel (4031632)|Shovel]] || 0.35% (1 in 283) || One of a kind
|}

Each catch also gets a short message in the catch log: the Vesos or EXP you reeled in, or the fish's name and length.

* Every fish you land is measured. It is never shorter than its listed length. About half come in within 8% of it. About 1 in 40 is more than 50% longer, about 1 in 600 is twice as long, and none measures more than 1,000 cm.
* The measured length is what counts for the Fishing King board. The fish item itself is the same.
* Fish sell to shops for 1 Veso each. They go in the Etc tab.
* The Pot and the Shovel are one of a kind. If you hook a second one, you keep fishing, but that catch gives you nothing, because you can only carry one.

== EXP from fishing and the daily limit ==
* EXP catches pay only for '''3 hours of fishing per day'''. The day starts with your first catch and lasts 23 hours.
* Every catch uses up one minute of those 3 hours, whatever it lands.
* After the 3 hours, EXP catches pay nothing. The game tells you that you are too worn out to learn anything from the catch, and says roughly how long until you feel fresh again. Vesos, fish and prizes keep coming as normal.
* The limit is per character, and it is kept when you log out.
* If you fish the full 3 hours, you can expect roughly 12% of a level's worth of EXP per day with Bait, or about 18% with Delicious Bait. These are averages.

== The Golden Fish trade ==
* The [[Item:Golden Fish|Golden Fish]] is the most common catch, at about 1 in 3. It goes in the Use tab and stacks. It cannot be traded or sold.
* Bring '''300''' to [[NPC:Kedrick|Kedrick]] and choose '''Trade 300 Golden Fish for a Strawberry Icecream Bar'''.
* The [[Item:Strawberry Icecream Bar|Strawberry Icecream Bar]] is a level 10 face accessory with +5 Weapon Attack and +5 Magic Attack. It has no upgrade slots.
* Pace: 300 Golden Fish takes about 930 catches, roughly 15 and a half hours of fishing, and about 750,000 Vesos of plain Bait.
* Kedrick needs a free slot in your Equip tab. If you have fewer than 300 Golden Fish, he tells you how many you have.

== The Fishing King board ==
* The [[NPC:Ranking Board|Ranking Board]] stands on the [[Map:Floating Market|Floating Market]]. It shows the '''ten''' characters with the longest single fish ever landed, with the length in cm.
* Ties go to the character with more catches. After that, whoever got there first is ahead.
* Only fish count for the length. Vesos and EXP catches still count as catches.
* The board refreshes every 30 seconds while you stand there, and after each of your catches.
* Click the board to see your own place among the top 50. If you are not on it yet, the game tells you to land a fish to enter.
* Records are per character and never reset.
* The same list is on the website's Rankings page under '''FISHING'''.
* The board has no prizes. It is for bragging rights.

{{Changed|Every fish is measured with its own length, so the board is a real contest instead of a tie at the longest listed fish.}}

== Kob (results and reward list) ==
[[NPC:Kob|Kob]] stands near Kedrick, but he does not show the board. His menu has two options:
* '''Check your fishing results''' shows the catch log of your current or last session.
* '''See the reward list''' shows every item fishing can give, how many of each you have found, and your lifetime fishing Vesos and EXP.

== Is it worth it? ==
* On average, a plain Bait (800 Vesos) brings back about 175 Vesos in Vesos catches, and a Delicious Bait (1,600 Vesos) brings back about 262. Counting only the Vesos, fishing always costs more than it pays back.
* Delicious Bait pays 1.5 times the Vesos and EXP per catch. It costs twice as much, and it does not change the odds.
* Fishing is for the [[Item:Onyx Apple|Onyx Apple]], the [[Item:Chaos Scroll 60%|Chaos Scroll 60%]], the [[Item:Strawberry Icecream Bar|Strawberry Icecream Bar]] and the Fishing King board.

== Common problems ==
* '''Why won't Kob sell bait?''' Bait is sold by [[NPC:Kedrick|Kedrick]], not Kob.
* '''Why did fishing stop by itself?''' You ran out of bait, a bag tab was full, or you left the map.
* '''Why does the game say you are too worn out to learn anything?''' You have used up today's 3 hours of EXP fishing. The game says roughly when they come back.
* '''Why are you not on the board?''' Only fish count. Land at least one fish (not just Vesos or EXP) and beat the length of the tenth place on the board.
* '''Why did a second Pot give nothing?''' Pots and Shovels are one of a kind, and you can only carry one.
* '''Why do fish sell for almost nothing?''' Each fish sells to a shop for 1 Veso.
