Ragnarok X: Next Generation is one of the latest MMO RPGs to hit the mobile scene, having six classes and two sub-classes for each of the six main classes. The game introduces many fresh features and innovative mechanics that you won’t find in the classical version, so this will be a fascinating game for the fans of the Ragnarok franchise.
Catching fishes is one of the critical aspects of Life Skills in Ragnarok X: Next Generation that helps you gather and farm various ingredients for farming. The game teaches you to farm in the early stages to familiarize you with the game's mechanics. The tutorial teaches fishing by giving you Wooden Fishing Rod and a Beginner's Fishing Bait. You can also automatically fish so you can farm ingredients while you are AFK.
In this guide, we will discuss the basics of fishing, so you get accustomed to the mechanics, and then we'll touch on some advanced points to help you master this aspect of the game.
How to Catch a Fish:
The game teaches you the basics of fishing right at the start of the game. You need a rod, some bait, and a particular spot designated for fishing to get started. As this is part of Life Skills, every time you fish, fishing will consume your Stamina. To learn more about Stamina and other aspects for beginners to this game, read our Beginner's Guide.
Manual Fishing:
To manually fish, you can go to one of the fishing spots and press the Fishing icon to get set into the fishing place. Next, you should press Cast as soon as it appears. Pressing the cast button will let you choose your rod and bait to get started.
After casting the rod, you need to press the QTE button just when the shrinking green circle touches the white circle of the reel button. If you’re successful, you can catch a fish; otherwise, the fish is now gone. You have to start again and cast.
Automatic Fishing:
The method is the same for regular and automatic fishing but auto; you need the Automatic Fishing Rod. This fishing rod has 50 charges, meaning it will catch fish 50 times automatically before your class will stop fishing. You can always press the door icon to stop automatic fishing, though, after every catch, the quality of your automatic fishing rod will reduce by 2%.
Where to Buy Automatic Fishing Rod:
You can only buy or get an Automatic Fishing Rod from two places or ways. Firstly, you can get them from an event in the game. Secondly, you can get it from Fish Print Commemorative Coin Shop. You can find him near the Prontera South ate near the Wishing Tree, and his name is Xavier. You can exchange Fish Print Commemorative Coin with Xavier.
