New Programs!(hXI)

Been several weeks since I released anything new

I have several programs i've wrote to help me with things

considering sharing them with my people

they all work perfect for me however I need to do a few modifications before public release

all of them do basically the same thing but for different mobs

1. Kuftal tunnel Devil manta timer

What this does is scan or poll for devil manta to spawn

once manta spawns the program updates and says Devil manta up or found or something alone those lines

Once devil manta is defeated it triggers a timer to start

the timer is preset for 15 mins but anywhere between 15-16 mins works out great and you can change the time

You select a .mp3 i'll include one or you can search for free mp3s with a simple google search and use any you like

What this program does is remove the hassle of needing to note the tod and watch the clock and you can go about watching youtube videos or doom scrolling on your phone until you heard the alarm play and instantly know it is time to fish again

I don't feel this necessarily gives an advantage in game in any way it's just an external program that watches for devil manta to spawn sets a timer on death and plays a mp3 when it is time to fish again

final note, this is the only program that is up for release I consider safe when looking at tos

2. Hoo Mjuu the Torrent bot/timer

Okay what this does is it also has the timer and a mob scanner

it has several inputs to put what you want it to do when the ph spawns

you can set it to use a ja or ra or /attack you can add a mp3 when it is time for the ph/nm to spawn

claim bot is 100% against tos

it's supposed to play a second mp3 if hoo mjuu spawns instead of ph but this is currently not working I haven't got to do much testing because when I did it took 6+ hours for the nm to spawn once

3. Spook bot/timer

same idea

this one has a vana clock on the progam

you set a mp3

you set timers for example 19:30 23:30 and 3:30 when the timers go off you know it's time to pay attention

again this also includes a claim bot so it has a input for several actions followed by a input for a wait and you can do this about 4 or 5 times

/ja bully <t> wait 5 

/ra <t> wait 4

/ra <t> wait 4

or whatever you choose

#2 and #3 probably will not be released but considering the release of #1

if I get any reactions i'll consider them 

always looking for new ideas for programs to write

love getting to learn and succeed at writing new things

Upbeat's HorizonXI Fishing Guide

This is going to be a quick explanation of the path I took to level fishing.

Currently I am 72.6 and i've got 0 to 72.6 in less than 2 weeks.

Reading many other horizonXI fishing guides gave me ideas but I did disagree with a lot of the suggestions.

Lets get right into it.

0-11 Moat Carp - West Ronfaure Knightwell Halcyon Insect Paste

This is a pretty painless camp. Fish stock may be bad if the pond is heavily populated. You could fish in any zone with moat carp. Although I do suggest not fishing in town as it can give lower skill up rates which I found on the next fish.

12-22(27 cap) Tricolored Carp & Moat Carp - Port sandy(by lu shang quest npcs) Halcyon Insect paste

I opted for this to get more moats to work on Lu shang. I fished here until about lvl 23 as skill ups were very slow and this camp took the longest out of all of them.

23-33(37 cap) Shining Trout - East Ronfaure Halcyon Fly Lure

This camp worked out great. Nothing too special about it. I fished right where the water comes out of the channel connected to sandy.

34-47(48 cap and 55 cap) Cone Calamary & Bluetail - Batallia Downs Halcyon Minnow

First of all you won't be able to catch bluetail until you get a few levels first on calamary. By around 42 you can catch both fish. This was awesome skill ups and right when you finally start making good gil

Once I hit 47 I opted to move from Batallia to Qufim Ice pond to isolate bluetail

48-51(55 cap) Bluetail - Qufim Ice pond Halcyon Minnow

This is a little slow but not bad. High population at the pond so want to get in and out with this section as fast as possible.

On HorizonXI as of 4/11/2026(and it may change in the future) It is cheaper to just outright buy a Lu Shang's vs farming the gil, buying moats, and completing the quest. Buying lu 2.8m-3m and buying moats is 3m-3.4m. I had 3m from Angel skin farming so I decided to buy my Lu shang's when I hit 47ish I didn't use it until 50 but I've used it the entire time since hitting 50.

52-70(76 cap) Silver Sharks - Batallia downs - Lu Shang's Meatballs

Very large gap in skill, 24 levels. The first few levels are pretty slow only gaining about 2 levels a day from fishing all day. Silver sharks NPC for about 410 gil so you easily make your gil back from 8k meatballs. I would buy 11 stacks of meatballs fish until my inv was full npc about 120k of sharks go out and fish until I ran out of bait NPC another 100k of sharks then buy 90k of meatballs netting me about 130k per day. Skill ups pretty slow until you reach around 65 and by that point I was pulling in about 1.5-1.8 levels PER HOUR until 69. 70 the skill ups slow down immensely. Which is why I recommend stopping when you hit 71.

71-96?(96 cap) Black Sole - Batallia Downs - Lu Shang's Sinking minnow

This is a massive level gap. 25 levels. I tried several other camps thinking I would have better luck but none gave any results. At all camps I fished for 1 hour to track skill ups: Jungle Catfish 0 skill ups, Bream/Grimmonite 0 skill ups, and Black sole .3  I didn't try Bream in a city because from the previous Tricolored carp I already knew it probably wouldn't be good

Other guides say you can start black sole at 72 but I had no problem catching them at 70 when I tested the water.

Only .3 skill up per hour at 72 but it will most likely pick up when I get around 85-89

at 72.6 Ebisu is just right around the corner(78+)

Lik and gugs are fairly cheap on HorizonXI Lik being about 3k and gugs 9k-10k

Fishing Black soles religiously daily I'm look at 400k-600k per day just to buy ebisu fish

The longest part of the quest will be gaining enough Guild points (95k) to buy Sea Serpent Rumors

I plan on getting the gug item first then spending 1 or 2 mil to see if I can get the lik item once I buy a certain amount 500-600 if I do not get I may or may not sell my Lu shang's for 3m to buy a ton of lik

3m would net me 1,000 lik and put me at 1,500 or so which I'm almost sure I would get it in that amount.

for the final stretch 97-100 I see a lot of guides recommend Takitaro or Armored Pisces 

I however will probably go to Kuftal tunnel and fish Cave cherax while camping for Devil manta

I will do this after I get ebisu and I am fine with fishing black soles for as long as I need staying at 96 if I have to until I can get ebisu

I just do not want to deal with the chance of my lu shang's breaking then needing to go through the trouble of repairing it

0-11 Moat carp Knightwell Halcyon Insect Paste

11-23 Tricolored Carp Port sandy Halcyon Insect Paste

23-33 Shining Trout East Ronfaure Halcyon Fly Lure

33-48 Cone Calamary Batallia Downs Halcyon Minnow & Bluetail at roughly 42

48-52 Bluetail Qufim Ice pond Halcyon Minnow(switch to lu shang at 50)

52-71 Silver Shark Batallia Lu shangs Meatballs

71-96 Black Sole Batallia Lu shangs sinking minnow

96-100 Cave Cherax Kuftal tunnel Ebisu + Shrimp lure/Sinking minnow/Meatballs

Lu Shang's Complete!(Now I'm Broke !1!!)

Whelp as the title says

with moat carps costing more gil than just outright buying the rod it was pretty obvious what I was going to do

had been saving all my gil for about 2 or 3 weeks from angel skins so I had enough but man is it hard being poor doing a complete reset

but it is done!!

won't be able to buy my th4 gloves on sunday like I wanted but it'll probably take a few days to get glacier win anyways and I should have enough for that on sunday so meh

maybe a week or so to make 1m for th4 gloves and those only give around a 2% TH increase at best

and i'm going to be fishing daily until I hit 100

so i'm confident it'll all work out

the gains from having lu are too big and i'll be hitting 50+ today probably

just glad I finally got it

with bluetail(the fish I am on) bringing in about 200k a day and the later fish bringing in around 600k/day I'm not worried at all about being able to make that 1m for th4 gloves and I should be able to even make more than at the angel skin camp from doing daily fishing and not near as much direct competition.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Now for screenshot spam!

Skill up spam !

lu shang plan

so I hit lvl 35 before maint started

doing calamari and bluetail rn

I have about 1,350 moats turned in

and I have 2,900,000 gil

lu shang recently dropped in price so I am pretty confident I could buy for 2.9m but I have plans already with my gil(th4 gloves for 1m, and I really dont want to be dead broke)

should be no problem getting to 50 on calamari and bluetail

and bluetail just happens to be my chosen path to lu shangs

I should be able to pull in about 200k a day on bluetail

resulting in about 12-14 days to finish lu shangs

npcing all my bluetail and buying moat carp

no reason to get lu shang before 50 with the skill up nerf pre-50

once maint ends i'll probably stay fishing until I hit about 40 then go to sleep

then try to go 45+ when I wake up

no plans until wednesday so I have plenty of time to get skill ups

at 50 it is pretty simple, just fish bluetail all day for a little under 2 weeks

I don't mind dipping down to around 2m as long as I am willing to do more bluetail to get back up to 3m once I get lu shangs buuuut I probably wont lol i'll probably be sick of bluetail and more than ready to start actually gaining skill and selling those fish for gil 

but I really don't want to "spend" any gil so I may hit 3m and make that my anchor then only spend gil I past 3m

Once I get lu shangs I really don't see myself using it for more than a few weeks

I should be 78 in no time

then the challenge is getting enough guild points for sea serpent's rumors

then i'll be fishing for gil once again to buy lik and gugs

gug or lik first idk lik is much cheaper so it would be easier first or second gug is about 3 times the price

so really I should get the gug item first, then sell my lu shang then fish bluetail or w/e daily until I can get the lik item

either way anyhow I do plan on getting ebisu at 78

I need lu shang's for 50-78 but at 78 I'm selling lu shang and dropping mils on ebisu fish

having made 3 ebisu for myself on retail and selling fish to make dozens of ebisu too I know the average rate is about 1/300 many go less probably more than go over but about 1/300

at 3k/lik and 9k/gug that is not going to be bad at all

no woodworking to repair lu and no roe gloves to stop rod breaks makes the appeal of fishing for lik or gugs to complete the quest very low paired with the price being so low  I'm used to gugs being 60k and lik 40k so 3k and 9k is nothing haha

whelp maint is ending soon so time to get back at it
