Fishing System

In some versions, a Fishing mini-game is available. To play, a fishing rod, fishing chair, and bait are needed. The fishing rod can be bought from the cash shop. The chair is purchased from the NPC Kedrick, who is located in Perion, Henesys, Ellinia, Kerning City, Sleepywood, Orbis, El Nath, Ludibrium, Mushroom Shrine, CBD and Showa Town. Ironically, it is not available in the only place where there actually is water, Aquarium. Kedrick takes players in possession of the fishing rod to a special map called the "Fishing Lagoon". Bait can only be purchased every 24 hours, and bait expires after a certain amount of time. An item is guaranteed to be caught every minute. To receive them, speak to the Fishing Manager located at a desk on the same map. Small amounts of EXP can be acquired through this as well. If the user purchased VIP fishing rod, the catch rate is halved to one item every 30 seconds.

On the whole, the Fishing System is not very popular among most Maplers, although for those who chat a lot with friends, it may be a good alternative to standing in a random map.

Fishing System is available in all versions except KoreaMS, GlobalMS and EuropeMS.
