Talk:Zafmlug Bass

Sold from Babubu ???[edit]

Confirmed that on Lightsday (at least), this NPC does not sell Zafmlug Bass. I'd make the edit myself, but maybe it is only sold on certain days? Epicus 14:47, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Guild NPCs do not always sell the items in question. Most likely this is an item that is only sold when a player first sells the Bass to the NPC. Then that item becomes available (stocked for however much the player sold to the NPC). --User:Chrisjander/Sig 15:59, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

all moved from the main page because it is all opinions:[edit]

  • One of if not the most absurd fish to reel in. Does not matter what level or rod you use it will irritate you to tears.
  • Catch these in South Gustaberg seaside outside the exit from Bastok Mines.
  • Used Lu Shangs and Worm lure in Port Bastok with no problems.
  • Worm Lure ~ Halc. Rod. I used Lu Shang and it did not matter as I lost a lot of fish due to insane rod movement.
  • highly suggest doing quest for Albatross Ring. It DOES make a difference in giving you more time that is needed to reel in this fish. Basically impossible without it.
  • I caught two of these in Port Bastok using a Halcyon Rod and a Worm Lure. My total fishing level is 7 and I had no real trouble catching these. This was my first time fishing with my Trainee's Spectacles, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. ~~Skiewalker, Quetzalcoatl server

  • The main page suggests Selbina as the optimal place to catch with a worm lure. They do catch here, but the Worm Lure also targets Greedies about 3/5. Port Bastok with a Worm Lure isolates the Zafmlug bass with only an occasional Cobalt Jellyfish which are easy to spot and cancel along with the odd item.
