Angler Quest Fish

Angler quests provide recurring rewards for catching a requested fish under specified conditions. Each request gives fishing a concrete target.

PC / Global, current Desktop version
WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

The biome and depth zone specified by the Angler’s current quest.

Read the Angler’s current request, then fish for its named quest fish in the indicated biome and depth. The request sets the target, so there is no single permanent location for this activity. Catch the fish and return it to the Angler for the daily reward. Keep quest catches separate from food and crafting fish; the next request may require a different fish and location. A stored quest fish does not replace catching the fish requested for a new quest.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • The Angler NPC available to give a quest.
  • A fishing pole, bait and access to the requested location.
  • Inventory space for the fish and reward.
  1. Speak with the Angler and read the exact requested fish and location.
  2. Confirm the biome and depth, then travel to a matching pool.
  3. Equip a pole and bait and cast into the water.
  4. Reel when the bobber signals, then check catches for the named fish.
  5. Continue fishing under the requested conditions until you catch it.
  6. Keep the quest fish in your inventory and return to the Angler.
  7. Turn in the fish and store useful rewards.

Farming tips

  • Confirm the fishing layer as well as the biome before starting a long session.
  • Keep quest fish separate from ordinary catches so they are easy to deliver.

Repeat, collect and use

One quest fish can be turned in per in-game day per player. Repeat on later days with the new request, which may differ.

Common mistakes

  • Fishing in the right biome but wrong depth; verify both details in the request.
  • Trying multiple turn-ins on the same day; the limit is one per player.
  • Selling or consuming the target; reserve it for the Angler.

When to stop or switch

Stop when the request is turned in. Move to another activity until another daily quest is available.
