Wizard101 released a brand-new feature today in the Test Realm: fishing! With this new activity, you use fish spells to try and catch various kinds of fish in a number of different worlds - Wizard City, Krokotopia, Mooshu, and Grizzleheim.
You can do a few things with fish. You can sell them for a small amount of gold, display them in tanks that you buy or craft in your house, or use them for crafting teleport tapestries.
Getting fish can be tricky. Generally, you need to ignore the fish playing with the lure and instead wait until the orb drops completely below the surface, then quickly hit space bar to bring them up! Even if you time it perfectly, you can still lose them, though a Fish Luck Elixir will make things a lot easier on you. I recommend reading Duelist101's guide to it HERE.
Besides the Owl-Eyed Pike and Fish Sandwich being ridiculously difficult to get, this seems like a great activity. I'm sure it will have some purposes we don't see yet in-game, and has lots of expansion potential.
I love that Wizard is starting to introduce a number of side activities at lower levels. It'll keep players entertained for long periods of time, and allows even high-level players to work toward something. I'm particularly fond of the new badges I've come by.
These are all obtained through various fishing activities (I compiled them on one page), and I suspect there are more to be found. The Journeyman Angler badge is one for reaching Fishing Rank 6. It will change with your rank, and I believe they go up to ten. I cannot figure out what Master Caster is for, however, I've obtained at least one of every single fish in this guide, so it may be for collecting all of the fish.
You can catch any fish with any lure, but there are two benefits to knowing its class. Number one, you can use that class of lure and supposedly have a better chance of successfully catching the fish you're after. Number two, you can use your spell to reveal all fish schools to see if the fish you want even has a chance of being in that location.
I know I am missing some, so please help me out if you have others! The top left circle indicates a rare fish. The bottom left is the class. The bottom right shows which size fish tank you need for it. Special thanks for updated images to: Katie Roseblossom (1 fish) and Jordan (1 fish). Huge thanks to Alura Silverdust for providing the Silver Streak. Thanks to Sophia Lifecaster for 2 XP amounts.
Fish for Quests
Note: Recommended fishing locations are included. These are where the fish are confirmed to be caught. However, you generally have a chance to catch a fish in any part of its world with the correct school spawn, and with several, they come from every world, but still have a recommended location. Experience listed in "First Catch, All Catches After" format.These fish are sortedby order needed in quests.
Which lure do I use? Look at the school first, and then the rank. You should use that rank of that school lure to try and catch that fish.
