Fishing

Fishing Guide - Jade Dynasty Wiki

For the Fishing Mastery Event see Fishing Mastery.

Fishing is one of the best ways for new players to make money. Some fish that you can catch sell for more than 1 gold apiece. Of course, you won't always catch one of the most valuable fish, but even the 35s fish can significantly increase your buying power.

Fishing Introduction

As a new player, the world is unknown to you and you hear everyone talking about fishing. But you don't know where and how to fish and most importantly: What is the point of fishing in this game?

Fishing allows you to quietly relax from all that questing and fighting. You can find items by fishing that you can't get anywhere else, and you'll be able to make money while doing it. Most importantly: it's free and it only takes a few minutes to fish. The rest is just pure luck! It can be as high as 4 Gold or as low as 1 Copper for you. But don't give up if you don't get what you were looking for. Patience is the key here, and eventually you'll be rewarded.

To start in Basic Fishing you need:

• A character level 35 or above
• Bait
• Free Slots in your Inventory
• 5 minutes
• Little grain of luck

Fishing Schedule / Getting Bait

In Jade Dynasty, you have a lot of chances to fish. This is quite a good thing for players who have to take care of family, their job or other matters in real life that prevent you from fishing.

You can get bait during the following time periods:

• 12:00 p.m to 01:00 a.m
• 08:00 a.m to 09:00 a.m
• 12:00 a.m to 01:00 p.m
• 03:00 p.m to 04:00 p.m
• 06:00 p.m to 07:00 p.m
• 09:00 p.m to 10:00 p.m

You can obtain one piece of bait per character during these time periods by talking to Ami in Sunstream City (126,150) and accepting the quest "Fishing Bait". Once you have the bait, you can use it to fish at any time. Some people like to gather a lot of bait over time, and then go fishing to use it all up at once.

Fishing Locations / How to Fish

Now that we've sorted out the preparations, you're probably wondering how to fish.

Once you have the bait, just take it to the matching fishing pole and click on it to start using it. After the bar reaches 100%, the bait and the fishing pole will disappear, and you will get a random item. The fishing pole will reappear after a short time so that it can be re-used if you have more bait.

When talking to Ami, you will get 1 of 4 different baits randomly.

• Earth Worm Bait: You're lucky if you get this one, because you don't have to travel far. The fishing pole is right there at the Lotus Pool in Sunstream City. (coordinates 129, 107)
• Preserved Bait: For this one, you need to head south of Sunstream City and follow the path until you reach a bridge. Cross it and immediately turn left to see a rod waiting for you there at the Sol River. (coordinates 167, -162)
• Red Worm Bait: This bait is used in the pond at Serenity Clearing, far to the south in the Sunstream region. (coordinates 50, -390)
• Rice Worm Bait: This pole is located on the west side of the Fountainhead Hollows lake on the northern edge of the Sunstream region. (coordinates -80, 430)

You can also get a variety of different quest-related items. These items might be needed to finish certain quests, rewarding you with some experience points and sometimes even some titles.

Fishing Certificate: This is the most important item. You'll need this after reaching Level 45 to participate in the Fishing Mastery event in The Billows, which occurs daily from 06:00 to 07:00 p.m. These certificates can be stacked up to 10.

Can be fished in all 4 spots.

Soggy Horse Face: You'll need 10 of these to obtain the "Soggy Horse Face" title from Ami.

Can be fished only at Serenity Clearing (using Red Worm Bait).

Black Pig Head: If you want the "Black Pig Head" title given by Ami, you need to give him 10 of those as well.

Can be fished only at Fountainhead Hollows (using Rice Worm Bait).

Mystic Scroll: Right-click on this to obtain a random Voyage quest, which will give you a small amount of Experience Points and a title. You can also trade or sell them to other players.

Can be fished only at Serenity Clearing (using Red Worm Bait) and near bridge above southern Sol River (using Preserved Bait). <a href="Mystic Scroll Quests Guide" style="color: #003366;">Mystic Scroll Quests Guide</a>

Wisdom Map: This one activates automatically if your character level is identical to the area you're currently in. In other words this means:

• Sunstream Level 1-15
• Jadeon Level 15-30
• Skysong Level 30-45
• The Billows Level 45-60
• Doom Bog Level 60-75
• Wildlands Level 75-90

So for example, if you're Level 63 you will get a quest automatically as soon as you go to Doom Bog. Be sure that you have the item in your bag before you go.

Can be fished only at Sunstream City Pond (using Earth Worm Bait) and near bridge above southern Sol River (using Preserved Bait).

Be careful, as the quest is time-based and you only have a few minutes to finish it once it appears. The quest will tell you to find an NPC who will give you a short quiz. The questions are based mostly on real life information, and you'll get asked about country's capitals, date of Father's / Mother's Day, etc.

Only the character who first fished up the Wisdom Map can use it, and it is only usable for characters of level of 90 or below. You can't trade or drop it.

Blood Flower: This item is used for one of the Voyage quests that appear on its own randomly for level 30-40. You'll need the Blood Flower to complete the quest. If you level too far past it, you won't get this quest anymore.

Can be fished only at Fountainhead Hollows (using Rice Worm Bait)

Secrets of Talisman: Same as the Blood Flower, you need this for finishing up one of those Voyage quests.

Can be fished only near bridge above southern Sol River (using Preserved Bait).

Destiny Stone: Collect enough of these and then trade them in to the Eldest Matchmaker in Sunstream City to gain some Romance Points.

Can be fished only at Fountainhead Hollows (using Rice Worm Bait)

Tattered Calfskin Bag: Right-click on the Bag to get a Dim Treasure Map. Show it to Nura in Sunstream City to get a viewable map, and you'll get coordinates for a Romance Volume Scroll. You need to find the Volume of Romance in the Voyage quest "The Romantic", which you can obtain by using a Mystic Scroll. You need to find a total of 3 Volumes to get the "Master of Romance" title.

The item out of the Bag will give you coordinates for one of those Volumes and have a 1-hour time limit.

Ramie / Bark / Torn Fishnet: These items are all worth 1 Copper. While it appears that these items are worthless, they are needed from a quest that first appears from the Unknown Scholar in Sunstream City (coordinates 192, 124) when you reach level 60.

He is in search of the Four Treasures of Writing, and the above items are needed to craft one of those: the Xuan Paper. You'll need to have all three items in your bag, and the NPC will give you an item that you can click on to create the Xuan Paper. As reward, you sometimes get Flameflaring Beads. You can give these to the Special Ops Agent to get rare materials used for crafting Charms.

You will also get pages from the Esper Saga Tome.

Sticky Glue: This one is also used for the Four Treasures of Writings. In addition, you need Wolf Hair and Green Bamboo to craft a Wolf Hair Inkbrush. You can get Wolf Hair from the blue-named Ungracious Wolves which are scattered around Sunstream. Green Bamboo can be dropped by Bamboos in Jadeon, either Bamboo Heights or Bamboo Peak.

Carbon Black / Pine Black / Santalum: These three items are used for the Four Treasures of Writings quest as well. You can craft Pine Black Ink out of those.

Eera Mud: One of the items for the last of the Four Treasures of Writings. Combine this with Glowstones and Jade Stones to craft a Glazed Inkstone.

Glowstones can be found if you search Blazed Stones in Kunlun Mountains, but it can be dangerous for low-level characters due to how strong the monsters are in this high-level area.

Jade Stones can be found in Mirage Crystals in Moontop Hollow in Jadeon.
