Fishing in ZXOnline.

ZX Online has one interesting (and a money-making one, too) feature that would surely endear to all players of the game -- FISHING! If you've got the right bait for the right spot, you'll surely get something (hopefully expensive to sell) for your effort.

Now that's enough introduction. Let's get to the (fish) meat already.

The fishing quest first becomes available at Lv5 [please confirm]. After you finish your very first fishing quest, the quest would still be available for you afterwards. This quest is one of the available daily (or periodical) quests in the game.

The fishing quest is announced server-wide. The first announcement is broadcasted 10 minutes before the actual start of the one-hour fishing period.

And the second announcement is broadcasted upon the start of the one-hour fishing period.

It is not neccessary that you take the quest on the start of the fishing period. Anytime during the one-hour fishing period (even at the last minute), the quest is available to you.

The available one-hour fishing periods everyday are the following:

The time shown in-game uses a military time format. So, converting the above info to the 12-hour format...

0:00-1:00 --> 12mn to 1am (that's 12 midnight)
8:00-9:00 --> 8am to 9am
12:00-13:00 --> 12nn to 1pm (that's 12 noon)
15:00-16:00 --> 3pm to 4pm
18:00-19:00 --> 6pm to 7pm
21:00-22:00 --> 9pm to 10pm

The time used on the server is the local time here in the Philippines (GMT+8)

The Fishing NPC's name is Zuo Guanyu and he is located at this spot: Heyang City (126 150)


When you take the quest from him within the allowed fishing period, he'll give you a bait. Along with the bait are instructions on where to correctly use that bait. If you use the bait on the wrong spot, you will get an error message saying that you don't have the right tool to accomplish the task. But if you do use it on the right spot, you'll get something (hopefully expensive) from the water below. ^_^

The Fishing NPC will give you one (and only one) bait within one fishing period. The bait you will get is one of four possible baits. Each bait can be used on only one of the four fishing rod sites available on the Heyang City map. The item description on the bait clearly states where it could be used for fishing. So, it is strongly suggested that you read the bait's description before you leave and run randomly towards nowhere.

It is also possible that you need not use the bait right away. Meaning you can keep your baits for a while and let them stack up until you decide to use them. Unfortunately, the baits are untradeable (to other players) and undroppable.

It is also good to note that the baits (any of the four) can be used outside of the scheduled fishing periods.
Ex. You got a bait during the 8am to 9am fishing period (maybe like at 8:59am). But due to some circumstances (lag, slow reader, a friend hails you, etc.) you are delayed to get to the correct fishing spot for your bait. Do not worry. You could still use that bait and the fishing rod as long as they are the correct set or match up.

The four possible baits that the Fishing NPC will give you are the following:

-- Fume Flower Fish Bait (purple in color)


Common fish bait which can be used for fishing at the surrounding area of the bridge located at the southern part of Heyang.

-- Red Worm Bait (red in color)

Common fish bait which can be used for fishing at the small lake beside the Love Tree located south of Heyang.

-- Rice Worm Bait (white in color)

Common fish bait which can be used for fishing at the Source Cave located north of Heyang.

-- Tiny Worm Bait (green in color)

Common fish bait which can be used for fishing at the Water Lily Pond located inside Heyang City.


The four possible fishing rod sites are the following:

-- Fume Flower Fish Bait (purple in color)
location: Plain of Yu Meng (168 -159)


-- Red Worm Bait (red in color)
location: Plain of Yu Meng (49 -388)


-- Rice Worm Bait (white in color)
location: Source Cave (-80 433)


-- Tiny Worm Bait (green in color)
location: Heyang City (128 108)
