New Fishing Quest Information

New Rewards for the Fishing Quest

  • Fish hooks are attached to fishing poles to give them special properties, double click the hook and then select the pole to use it
  • Fish bait may be used together with fish hooks.
  • Junk Proof Hooks: Using a junk proof hook will ensure you don’t catch shoes.
  • Dredging Hook:  Using a dredging hook will increase the chance of pulling up things from the depths that are not fish.
  • Lava Hook: This is replacing the lava fishing pole and has the same effect, the main difference is that hooks are stackable.
  • Oracle of the Seas: This reward looks like a blue spyglass and is used to find charybdis.  Double click it to locate the monster.  The monster location is good for 1 day.  Locating the monster consumes a charge, fish oil can be used to bring the charges back.
  • Charybdis bait: Can be used on a fishing pole.  When at a location identified by the Oracle of the Seas, fish using charybdis bait to start the encounter.  You may have to fish several times to get the charybdis to rise.
  • Improved magical fish bait: The Order of the Dragonfish has discovered ways to improve fishbait for magical fish.  (technical note: the way fishbait works essentially is by giving you a certain number of rerolls when trying to catch certain fish, the improved fish bait is simply giving you more rerolls)

New Sea Encounter

  • Charybdis:  This is a new sea encounter that requires special items from the fishing quest to start.  Warning: the Charybdis is a dangerous monster and you should only provoke it when you have 2 or 3 friends to help and a fast ship in case things go south!
