Description

First talk to Yaya, who is near the Fishing guild, she tells you to go talk to Oswald. Oswald is found inside the Hotel.

Oswald has lost his favorite ring while at the pier one day. Unfortunately for Oswald, he knows where it went. Oswald's poor ring fell into the water, now lost forever. Or is it? A greedie fish, you see, has a penchant for swallowing shiny things, maybe one little greedie came along and swallowed it up. If that's the case, then fishing up the greedie will lead to retrieving the ring.

Indeed, that's all you have to do. However, it's not as easy as it seems. The greedie in particular you have to fish up is a Rare Ex fish called a Fat Greedie. Although Jimaida (inside the Fishing Guild) will offer to cut open any greedies you find looking for the ring, no greedie will contain the ring except the Fat Greedie. It has been my experience that you won't catch the Fat Greedie until level 10-11 fishing skill (you may get one at lower skills, but you won't catch many until 10 or 11), so the best bet is to raise your skill level somewhere where there is ample bait and a place to turn in fish for a decent sum until then. When finally fishing for the Fat Greedie, rarely do greedies bite on anything but lugworms, but ou'll want a Mid-Level (a very durable small fish fishing) Rod to catch it, as the Fat Greedie seems to seems classified as a large fish even if still caught with lugworms and a small catch rod.

Trade Zeldon the fat greedie for him to cut it open, he hands you an etched ring back.

Give the ring to Oswald for your reward.

Its Not too Hard

I have Fishing 2+1(gloves) used a Glass Fiber Rod and used Lugworms for bait. Caught the Fat Greedie on my thrid cast.
I dont remember the exact time but is was still light out. It was Lightningsday and a Half-Moon.

My conclucsion: its all a matter of random luck to cath the Fat Greedie.

Ok, Order to do things...

Talk to Yaya (Woman NPC near the fishing guild)
- This tells you about the lost ring...
Talk to Oswald - He whines and blubbers and tells you about the lost ring...
Talk to Jimaida (Galka outside the Fishing guild)
- This flags you to go to Zaldon to cut open greedies
Trade Zeldon the fat greedie (took me 4 casts near the little boat)
- He hands you the etched ring
Talk to Oswald - poof you are rewarded.

<edit for spelling>

thanks much, yours was more helpful then the actual guide posted.

level 1 fishing + lugworm + fishing gloves and boots + glass fiber rod = fat greedie in 2 casts
(was early morning on firesday at the time)


:::::clarifications:::::
*Zeldon is in the back room of the fishing guild.
*Yaya and Jimaida are on the beach (G-9) inbetween the fishing guide and the lake.

I've fished for the last 2 nights and gone through 10 stacks of lugworms with no luck. I've been using a Composite Rod and my skill is at 13, i really don't want to have to buy a Glass Rod just to finish this quest but i guess i have to >_<
Carbon Fishing Rod

I caught my Fat Greedie at 12h06 a wind day. Near the boat, took about half an hour. With a Carbon Fishing rod and lugworms. My fishing level was 5 at that time.

Hi,

i done the quest and i catch aother fat greedies what do i do with it
Mithran?
# Feb 04 2004 at 1:51 AM Rating: Decent
Has anyone caught the Fat Greedie with a Mithran Rod? I know everyone says glass or fiber, but I've caught 30 regular Greedies with the Mithran, so I'm hoping I don't have to buy a new rod just for this quest.

=/
RE: Mithran?
# Mar 30 2004 at 1:38 PM Rating: Decent
Yes, you can catch this fish with a mithran rod. I just caught the Fat Greedie with a Mithran Rod, and a Minnow lure. took about 20 minutes, with 11 fishing skill.

*sigh of relief* I'm in the same predicament, good to know I won't have to get a new rod for this quest

well, it took over an hour but i caught it.
i tried the glass fiber rod with some lugworms and that did the trick.
fished it out right next to that small boat thats tied at the dock.

i don't know why i cannot activate this quest after talking to Oswald, he old told me the story but my quest list didn't show i got it. then i got my fat greedie, but couldn't go on, any suggestion? --> i finished 25 quests in Bastok and then 2 quests in selbina, is my fame too low?

thanks
RE: FAME
# Jan 11 2004 at 7:51 PM Rating: Default
you need to talk to the 3 people outside the fishing guild again, talk to the Galkan, he'll send you to Zaldon in the fishing guild, then you'll be able to trade Zaldon the fat greedie, get the ring and give it to oswald

I was gonna take the ferry back to Mhaura a long long time ago when i decided to fish once before boarding the ship.

Cast my line in, a Fat Greedie popped out.

Can't remember what rod but it's not my current mithran, and was using a lugworm too.
Fat Greedie

I caught a fat greedie pretty easily at one of the beaches in Valkrum. I have 0 fishing skill, and I was using a glass fiber fishing rod with a worm lure bait.
So Umm
# Dec 22 2003 at 1:20 AM Rating: Default
Can anyone confirm the time of day they caught the fish? I've heard mostly at night time is when you can. My fishing skill is 3 right now, and I've tried using Glass Rod with Sabiki Rig, Minnow, Insect Ball, and Lugworms. I've been doing it for a RL week now, and no luck. So I'm listening to any rumor available.

It's a pretty random catch but skill helps in that the fat greedie is a lvl 23 fish (skill caps at 23). Use any small rod with a lug worm or worm lure.
RE: Reward
# Dec 18 2003 at 11:37 PM Rating: Default
Well they must be attracted to Glass Fiber rods and lugworm combos. I got one with skill 0 and that combo

Where did you fish for the Fat Greedie anyways? Inside Selbina?

Can you buy the fish at AH?
