Jan's back once again to smelt you away with a fish-tastic request. Break the ice this winter by going after the Glacier Smelt and catch some cool rewards, like the new Mag Mell Fishing Chair (for 2), or some new Homestead friends with set effects! Check out the fishy details below!
Notice: [Old Fish Trap Rewards] We are confirming the case where the Old Fish Traps are granting older rewards from the previous runs of the event (See: Winter Fishing Event 2022) We'll update further once a resolution has been found. We recommend holding on to your Old Fish Traps, but you can open them if you'd like! Please be aware that the rewards granted will be pooled from the 2022 list, and not the 2023 list, currently. Thank you for your patience.
Event Details
Event Dates: Thursday, January 18th, After Maintenance - Thursday, February 15th, Before Maintenance
Upon log in you will receive the quest [Guide] Jan's Request.
Jan can be found next to the Reus River Mana Tunnel.
Talk to Jan to register a main character.
You can only register one character per account.
Once a character is registered, that character will receive a Snowfield L-Rod (Event), a stack of Glacier Smelt Bait Feeder (Event), and a Fishing Rod.
Use the Snowfield L-Rods and the Land Maker action to make fishing holes along the river.
If you ever lose your Snowfield L-Rod (Event), speak to Jan and select "I need another Snowfield L-Rod" to receive another.
After agreeing to help Jan and the aquaphobic Seal Pal, and registering a main character, he will give you the daily quest: [Event] Be the One Who Smelt It and Dealt It.
Bring Jan some Glacier Smelts to receive rewards depending on the amount you bring him. Please be aware the [Event] Phishy Phobia in Physis quest must be in progress to receive the rewards.
To create a fishing hole in the river, Humans and Elves must use Snowfield L-Rods. However, Giants can use Stomp to open one.
You will receive 100 bait each day for logging in on the character you registered as a main character.
Bait will be received the day after you register a main character.
