Starting Fishing: Azteca

One beautiful part of Wizard101 is fishing. It can be a great way to spend some time with friends without the pressure of battle and strategy. Fishing will take you to some corners of the Spiral you may not have taken the time to explore before. Like any great hobby in Wizard101, it can lead to some great rewards.

After you complete the  Avalon fishing quest “Angling Upward” Lucky Hookline will send you on a new quest, “The New World”.  You will travel to Azteca to speak with Alejandro de la Paz in Saltmeadow Swamp.  

You can now learn a useful spell for fishing tournaments. This spell removes fishing chests and ensures all fish in the pool are, indeed, fish.

Sink Chests – Sinks all chests to the bottom (removes fishing chests)

The cost is 10,000 gold and you can get it without any other level requirement in fishing.

Alejandro de la Paz will give you a new quest called “Rivers of Gold” which is the only fishing quest he has for you

Goals:

The first fish on the list to catch is the Ax-Xolotl, a rank 3 Balance fish found in the Zocalo. I recommend you use the Winnow Balance Fish spell and a Common Harmony Lure

The next one you must catch is the Pirahptor a rank 3 Death fish,  found in Mangrove Marsh.  I recommend you use the Winnow Death Fish spell and a Common Repose Lure.

The last fish you will need is  the Chupacarpe a rank 3 Life fish found in Mangrove Marsh.  I recommend you use the Winnow Life Fish spell and a Common Vitality Lure

Once completed, this quest will give you a new spell:

Buoy Chests 1 – It doubles the chance of catching a chest.

This spell increases your chances of getting a chest when cast. It replaces the Summon Fish spell and can combine with the Winnow spells. It has a cooldown time of 15 minutes, since that’s how long it takes for new fish to return.

You now have great spells for fishing tournaments and for finding chests! There are many wonderful things awaiting a fisherman in the Spiral!

Tips

Fishing takes patience, but it’s a great way to use your unused energy. 

You can keep your best fish and display them in aquariums, or sell your fish to Lucky Hookline for gold!

Use the Angler’s Tome to see fish you’ve caught throughout the game.

You will earn the greatest amount of experience when catching fish that are new to your tome.

Many rare items can be found in fishing chests!

Don’t forget that the fish you see in front of you are not the same fish other Wizards see. Other players cannot catch or scare your fish away. However, if you catch a fish or scare it away, it will be replaced after 15 minutes.

If the pond does not have the right school of fish, scare them away by running in the water and come back later!

Also, remember that the first time you go to an area, they load the names of the fish. Of course, this is hard to see but always keep it in mind about rare and epic fish you are looking for. 

Thank you for reading the series on fishing quests in all the worlds.  I hope I helped you learn some new things. Until the next update, Happy Fishing!

I’d love to hear about your fishing adventures in the comments!

Starting Fishing: MooShu

Our journey brings us to Mooshu, to visit the wise old Fishmaster known as Ryoshi. He’ll help us along on our journey with new quests, new fish, new spells, and an opportunity to level up in fishing.

After finishing the final quest in Grizzleheim, “New Fishing Buddy”, we will be going to the Jade Palace in Mooshu.

Ryoshi will help us continue our adventure with a new quest:
“Fish, Glorious Fish!”

Goals:

Catch one Grape Jellyfish, a Rank 2 Storm fish.  You can find him in the Tree of Life.  To increase your chances use the Winnow Storm Fish spell and a Minor Spark Lure.

Catch one Origami Fish, a  rare Rank 2 Storm fish. This one will also be found in the Tree of Life.  To increase your chances use the  Winnow Storm Fish spell and a Minor Spark Lure

Once we have finished this mission, he will give us a new one:

“Cast of a Champion”

Goals:

Catch one Dragon Eel, a Rank 2 Fire fish.  He can be found in the waters of the Jade Palace. To increase your chances use the Winnow Fire Fish spell and a Minor Flame Lure

Catch one Sumo Koi, a Rank 2 Life fish. You will find him in Kishibe Village.  To increase your chances use the Winnow Life Fish spell and a  Minor Vitality Lure

Catch one Codfather, a rank 2 Death fish. He’ll be swimming around in the Ancient Burial Grounds.  To increase your chances use the Winnow Death Fish spell and a Minor Repose Lure.

Catch one Ninja Fish, a Rank 2 Ice fish. You’ll find him in Tatakai Outpost. To increase your chances use the Winnow Ice Fish spell and a Minor Frost Lure.

As soon as this quest is over, it will give us a reward, a critical spell to have! With this spell, we will be able to winnow Rank 2 fish! Thus, in combination with the other winnow spells, we can catch the fish we want:

Winnow Rank 2 Fish- Scare away all except Rank 2 fish

Ryoshi has 2 extra spells to sell us. They each cost 5,000 gold and to get them one must be a level 6:

Winnow Rank 1 Fish- Scare away all except Rank 1 fish

Winnow Rank 3 Fish- Scare away all except Rank 3 fish

These are 2 very important spells, as they allow us to scare away all other Ranks of fish, except what we are fishing for.  It helps us to catch the desired fish easily!

This ends our journey to MooShu and the basics of missions and spells!

Tips

Fishing takes patience, but it’s a great way to use your unused energy!

You can keep your best fish and display them in aquariums, or sell your fish to Lucky Hookline for extra gold!

Don’t forget that the fish you see in front of you are not the same fish other Wizards see. Other players cannot catch or scare your fish away. However, if you catch a fish or scare it away, it will be replaced after 15 minutes.

If the pond does not have the right school of fish, scare them away by running in the water and come back later!

Also remember that the first time you go to an area, they load the names of the fish. Of course, this is hard to see but always keep it in mind about rare and epic fish. 

We should not forget that Krokotopia, Zafaria, and Celestia also have fish available, even if there are no fishing quests located there. They will give us enough XP to be able to reach a higher level in fishing.

Our next destination is Avalon!

Until then, see more information on our site for more fishing and its secrets here and let us know what you think in the comments below!

Good luck!

Crafting Aquariums in Wizard101

A very important item for any fisherman in Wizard101 is the aquarium. They are great for anyone who collects fish and wants to show them off in their castle. But, how do we choose the right aquarium for each fish that we catch? How do we transport the fish and craft an aquarium? Join me as I explain everything about Crafting Aquariums in Wizard101!

Transporting the Fish

By clicking “V” we can see our Fish Basket. The basket only holds 100 fish. You can either sell them, let them swim around your underwater castle, or put them in an aquarium. Be careful, there is a risk of selling fish that you want or need since you can’t lock fish! 

To put a fish in the aquarium select it in the place item screen and click the fish symbol that appears. This will allow you to choose a fish from your basket to place in the aquarium.

When you click on the aquarium you will see two tabs. One is for the fish in your inventory that can fit in this aquarium. The other is for the fish that are in the aquarium already.

From there we can add or remove fish, depending on whether it’s a multi-tank or single aquarium.

To transfer fish between Wizards you need to have the right aquarium. We can transfer the tank to the shared bank with the fish inside. Put the aquarium in the shared bank and take it out with your other Wizard to transfer the fish. From there, remove the fish you want from inside the tank. After you empty the tank you can place it back into the shared bank. You can do this as many times as you want or need to!

Choosing the right aquarium for our fish

Fish come in 3 categories: Tall, Regular & Large.
 
These are the basic categories, so make sure you are crafting the right aquarium.
 
They are also divided into three more sizes, depending on the fish: Whopper, Keeper, and Small Fry.
 
This means that we have 3X3 = 9 different aquariums. 
 
By opening your Fish Basket, you can see which of the nine categories your fish belongs to. You can find the right aquarium, from the symbol next to its image, when you hover your mouse.

We must not forget that the most common aquarium for most fish is the Regular Keeper Aquarium or the Regular Keeper Multi-Tank aquarium. Multi-tanks can hold 9 fish and count as 1 item in our homes or backpack. So, it is better to deal with them more.

Where can we find them?

There are currently only 4 NPC’s that sell crafting recipes. The Crowns Shop also has several aquariums and Multi-Tanks for sale. There are always special event and holiday tanks at different times of the year.
 
All 4 NPC’s have exactly the same aquariums, but with a slight difference in appearance. To me, Dragonspyre is the most beautiful. But, both recipes are suitable for all our fish. Frode Silverscale has 6 more crafting recipes because he also has Multi-tanks. But, you should know that the category of Whoppers is missing in his Multi-Tank aquariums. So, it is 6 and not 9. We will take a look at all of them.

Eudora Tangletree/ Wizard City - Olde Town- 9 recipes

Frode Silverscale/ Grizzleheim - Northguard - 15 recipes

Yuri Smokesnare / Dragonspyre - The Atheneum - 9 recipes

Balthazar Dragonthorn / Dragonspyre - The Atheneum 9 recipes

So, there you have it! All the information you need for Crafting Aquariums in Wizard101.

I hope my article helped you understand how aquariums work and which one is right for you when you decorate your castle.

I look forward to seeing photos of your aquariums! Let me know in the comments, or at Ravenwood Community if you have any questions. Until next time, I’ll be fishing in the Spiral. See you there!
