Fishing System!

[GM-Pandora]

Fishing Guide!

heRO has it's own custom Fishing system mostly written by yours truly ^_^ (Inspired from the Mining system). With the fishing you can find all sorts of fish that heal hp/sp and even unexpected stuff! Please note that fish can not be used inside War of Emperium castles.

First, you will need to learn how to fish. Head to Prontera Field 4, that's 2 maps west of Prontera. Talk to the Fishing Man, he will give you a quest.



I'll be nice, I'll give you the list of items here and which monster drops them:

10 fine-grained trunks (Willow)
20 thin trunks (Parasite)
5 tough vines (Dryad)
20 sticky mucus (Many monsters including: Poporing, Hode, Orc Zombie, Zenorc)
1 metal fragment (Apocalypse, Vesper)

Once you've brought back all the items, the Fishing Man will construct you a rod, he will then show you how to use it and quiz you on what you have learned. After you pass his test you can buy some baits (sold by the Fishing Man), look for the fishing spot nearby and you'll be ready to start fishing!



The kind of fish you will encounter:

Guppy: A fish that heals the same as a red potion.

Trout: A fish that heals the same as a orange potion and a grape.

Bass: A fish that heals the same as a yellow potion and a grape juice.

Salmon: A fish that heals the same as a white potion and a blue potion. Small chance to get blinded.

Mutant Fish: A fish that heals the same as a white potion and a blue potion. (Only found at the advanced fishing spot)

Angel Fish: A fish that heals a great amount of HP and SP. Small chance to get frozen.

Doris: A fish that heals half of your HP and SP. Small chance to get Poisoned or silenced.

Nemo: A fish that fully heals your HP and SP. Small chance to get Poisoned or silenced.


The Advanced Fishing Spot
Deep in the sewers of Glastheim you will find a second fishing spot, with mutant fish and other wonders.



Have fun fishing!! ^_^

Updated the Fish description with what they will have starting June 1st 2007

The higher fish have a low chance to give you a status when eating. If War of Emperium is active, regardless of which map you are on, you have a chance of getting more status when eating.

2007/10/02 A new fishing spot has been open, it is harder but should be worth the effort. Here are the particulars:

~ No Guppy
~ New fish: Mutant Fish
~ More Fishing points can be earned!
~ In a map with aggressive monsters
~ No Bait seller there, go to the old spot.
~ Different "junk".
~ A rare item can also be found.

To encourage heroes to explore the world and find this new spot, let's have a little contest. The winner will be the first person to send me a PM in forum with a screenshot of their character next to the new fishing spot!

Reward: 5 Allegiance Points + 1 OCA + 1 Wrapped Mask + A special custom gear that no one else has at the moment!

2007/10/03 The Advanced Fishing Spot has been found, grats our heroic explorer: Wolkan Blackthorn. Nice try to everyone else who spent time looking for it.

I'm not going to disclose the location of the advanced fishing spot, but it was announced on main so I assume by now the word has spread

2007/12/04 Starting December 10th 2007, Nemo/Dori will not allow to be consumed in WoE castle maps, status "during woe" will therefore be removed as well on that date.

The next 2 wars (before December 10th) are unaffected.

P.S.: Sorry about the image being down, out bandwidth will reset in 7 days >_<

2008/05/03 Small update to Fishing system.

These changes affect the Advanced Spot only:

Level 60 requirement added.
Diamond Ring has been replaced by Skull Ring.
Treasure Box chance has been reduced.
OCA drop has been divided into 2, half the time it will still drop an oca, the other half it will be something else (surprise!).

Expect also a real Fishing Revamp coming in a few weeks/months (depending on how fast we can get it fully working and balanced).
