Fishing

Information about Fishing Quests

Fishing Quests can be performed by up to six Heroes at a time in each realm. These quests yield Fish and other rare items.

Beautiful lake, isn't it? Looking over the water will do miracles for your soul. When my wife and kids come down to join me, there's no other place I would rather be.

How about joining me for some fishing?

Fishing Quests are begun in the Professions zone by speaking to the Fisher. Any Hero can attempt Fishing Quests, but Heroes with the Fishing profession gene will use their Stamina more efficiently and have increased chances of item rewards. Successfully completing a Fishing Quest will grant each Hero a small amount of XP, and a chance toward increasing their Fishing skill, which, over time, will allow them to undertake more difficult quests. Heroes may also bring a Pet companion with them to receive additional bonuses.

These quests have a chance to reward Heroes with Fish, Gaia's Tears, Runes, and Blue Pet Eggs. All fish may be sold to the Vendor in the Marketplace for Gold or swapped at the Trader for other tokens or items. Some items are also used as reagents in crafting Potions and Enhancement Stones, for hatching Pets, and for leveling Heroes.
