Starting Fishing: Azteca

Posted on by

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: Grizzleheim

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.
 
We saw the key spells that you get from Lucky Hookline in the previous Wizard City fishing article. Next, he will give us a new quest after we have completed the quest “Fishful Thinking” The new quest “Ol ‘Fishing Buddy” will lead us to Grizzleheim’s fishing spot and Haarek Silverscale in Northguard.
 

Haarek Silverscale gives us the next fishing quest, “New Fishing Buddy” The quest is to catch two fish in Grizzleheim.

The first one you will have to catch is the Todd Pole, a fairly common rank 1 Life fish, found in Northguard. To help locate this fish, I suggest you use the Reveal Fish spell. To catch it, use the Lesser Vitality Lure.

The second one will be the Bear Acuda. This rare rank 2 Fire fish is found in Mirkholm Keep. To catch this fish use the Lesser Flame Lure. As with all fish, a little extra fishing luck will go a long way.

When you finish that quest you will be awarded a spell, Slow Fish. This spell slows all fish in the fishing hole. I have found this is a very important spell to have. It makes Rare, Epic and all the fish slow down. Then, when they are near us we can catch them easily without repositioning as much.

Once you have reached fishing level 5, Haarek Silverscale will have these rank 2 spells available for 5000 gold

Minor Harmony Lure, Minor Repose Lure, Minor Flame Lure, Minor Frost Lure, Minor Vitality Lure, Minor Fable Lure, Minor Spark Lure.

To catch the fish in this article, we used the rank 1 spells from Lucky Hookline.

To level up in fishing you should make a list of the fish that are in your Angler’s Tome, and see what you are missing. Starting with rank 1 fish, you want to work your way up to rank 3.

All fish will show important information about them in their picture. The experience gained, lure required, where they are located and aquarium size will be found in your Anglers Tome.

Different fish give different experience amounts. The largest amount is received the first time you catch a particular fish, and it slowly decreases each time you catch the same fish from there.

In the same area of Grizzleheim, you will find Frode Silverscale. He is a Fish Master, also found in Northguard.

Haarek Silverscale and Frode Silverscale are close to each other and are quite easy to locate. I have marked their locations on this map

When we reach Level 6, Frode will have new spells for you that are very useful. They can restore the fish when they are gone from a pond, make the fish come to you, or even freeze them in place. These are quite important spells to have. 

Summon Fish- Resets all Fish in the Fishing Hole

Charm Fish- Attract all Fish in the Fishing Hole

Fish Lullaby- Immobilize all Fish in the Fishing Hole

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!

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.

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. 

Next destination is Dragonspyre. Until then you can see more information about fishing, here.

Good luck and let us know how your fishing adventure in Grizzleheim goes!
