How To Unlock Fishing In MapleStory 2?

To fish in MapleStory 2, you need to have a fish rod.  You can get one by progressing in the story or by purchasing it off a Fishing Supplies Dealers in Tria or Evansville with Cheap MapleStory 2 Mesos from Joymmo.com, a cheap, reliable and fast online in-game currency store.

After you've equipped a fishing rod, it's time to fish. There's two way to do fishing in the game. One is to do fishing by yourself, the other is to do it automatically. Just fins some water area, press the space bar casts your rod and then wait for a fish to bite your bait. Isn't east? The The latter requires paying merits or coupons.

Fish Locations

Finding places to fish is fairly simple, you just need to find ample pools of water. This means the ocean tiles, lake tiles, river tiles, poison tiles, etc. If you are searching for specific fish you should use the fishing album which you can access by pressing the small fish icon at the top left of your screen. If you are after fish in unknown locations, browse to the bottom and there is a list of their location.

 

 

 

The Benefits of Fishing

At the lowest levels, you can only get a few junk items worth 100 mesos as you fish. Once you hit the beginner III rank you start to get Lightweight Clam Boxes, which contain a random piece of a useful item. As your fishing level increases you should start getting even better items. 

You can also make money from fishing. If you want to make money through fishing, you need to use a Shiny Golden Lure which grants a chance to obtain 3 types of shiny golden fish. A shiny golden fish can be sold to an NPC for a sizable amount of Mesos. 

How To Increase Fishing Mastery?

Your fishing mastery is divided into levels and ranks, with four levels to each rank. As with fishing ranks, you'll start out as a beginner, and eventually become a Master Angler. The ranks go as follows. The only way to increase your fishing mastery is to catch fish. You also get fishing mastery everytime you catch a new breed of fish.The rarity of the fish caught gives different mastery points, as you can see in the list below.

Therefore, to increase Fishing Mastery fast, you need to fish at the appropriate locations until you reach the rank of intermediary II. At that point, you should start to hunt down all the fish that you have not caught (use your album to see which fish) because you get extra fishing mastery when you catch new fish. Here’s a detailed guide of how you're gonna in each level.

• Fish in Evansville poison until Beginner II
• Fish in Harang Island lava until Beginner III
• Fish in Revoldic Dam poison until Beginner IV
• Fish in Boulderwhite Mountains poison until Intermediate I

Now go and catch all the fish you haven't yet. Try to fish at locations that your fishing level matches first, only going to lower level areas when you've caught all level appropriate fish
