How to Catch them - Best Locations - Spells

Cold Cod:  The Oasis is the only Ice school fish in the pond that season. Use Reveal Fish School or Winnor Ice Fish/Lesser Frost Lure or Minor Frost Lure.

YuleToy Fish: Use Reveal Fish School or Winnor Life fish/Lesser Fable Lure or Minor Fable Lure.

The Commons: There is only one Myth school fish in the pond that season.

Mistletoe Angler:

The Commons: There is only one Life school fish in the pond that season. 

Use Reveal Fish School or Winnor Life fish/Lesser Vitality Lure or Minor Vitality Lure.

Tips: If you don’t have the spell ‘Summon Fish’, go into the pond, scare away all the fishes and wait 15 minutes before attracting new fishes. That will save most of your energy. Don’t forget that each player has their own fish in the pond, meaning other wizards can not scare away your fish.

Used In These Recipes: Make your own music with the crafting recipe from Eudora Tangletree in Old Town. You can listen to the music player which is a house item! You can select different music for outside or inside the house.

The music items with fishes ingredients are:

I wish you all the best catching the seasonal fish, and Merry Christmas!

Couch Potato Farming for all Levels

Anyone who has ever tried to hatch the perfect pet knows how important Mega-Snacks are. Mega Snack Packs are expensive and only help a little bit. The best and easiest solution is to grow Couch Potatoes, but how can we get them without spending all of our Crowns? Depending on your level, you have some great options old and new.

In my opinion, the absolute best place is the 5 Boxes quest box in Wizard City. This special event quest isn’t always in the Spiral, but when it is you will find it in a free to play area near the Bazaar. Meaning, even the newest Wizard with no membership has a pretty decent chance of getting this valuable Crowns seed. Super generous of KI! Be sure to take advantage of this opportunity the next time it comes to the Spiral!

Once you have reached level 20 you can access Grizzleheim. The classic mob to fight for Couch Potatoes here is the Splithoof Barbarians in Boars Camp, Savarstaad Pass. This is one of the first areas you open when you get to Grizzleheim. It can be a grind farming this area, but it is accessible at a pretty early level in the game. For better drop chances, I find that switching realms every 10 fights or so helps.

Hands down, the best and easiest place to get this drop if you have a higher level Wizard is from the Death Ghultures in Mirage. This is one of the very first quests you get when you open Mirage. If you head towards Caterwaul Canyons, starting from the World Door, they are the first mob you see. They are a pretty easy kill at the required level to reach them with only 2,450 health. The drop rate is far more generous than it is in Grizzleheim or Wizard City. As a bonus, Evil Magma Pea drops here too.

There are many more places to farm for this drop, especially in the two worlds I talked about. These are my favorites mainly because of ease of access and reliability of drops. With luck and perseverance before you know it, you will have a garden that looks like this!

Good luck Wizards, see you out there!

It the only Balance school fish this season in that Castle. The fish that we are looking for, the shadow in the water are 13 and less for small fry.

How to catch a Whopper

The best place to try is the Castaway’s Bungalow because there aren’t any other myth fish there. If you don’t find any castle to visit, the next best location is Cyclops Lane. Check the big pond in the park, Myth rank 1.
>25 for Whopper.
 

Spells in order

That means when we are looking for fish with our eye, If a lure is a 10, the Whopper Fish Sandwich is 3 times the size of the lure. To avoid catching Mythacudas, make sure the shadow is over 3 times the size of the lure and not 2.5.

How to Win: Fishing Tournament

Every Monday morning a new fish is out there for us to catch fishing tournament. When you catch one of the right size, the game will ask if you want to enter that fish in the tournament. If your answer is Yes, it will remove it from your fish basket and automatically tell you in which place are you in the tournament. If you answer no, the fish will be in your backpack already and you can sell it, or move it to an aquarium. You can also transfer it with the aquarium in the shared bank and move it into another player in the fish basket and take back the aquarium and repeat this. For the tournament, it will not count if you transfer to your other characters. Only the fish caught during that week’s tournament can be entered to the list. Only the first 100 players to have entered will win gold. Wizards who are at least Level 7 will be called by Lucky Hookline to learn the skill of Fishing. It’s important to have all of the fishing spells trained for the fishing tournament!

The most important spells to start with

  1. Catch a fish with a school lure rank, must be fishing rank 2.
  2. Reveal Whoppers and almost Whoppers and Reveal Small Fries and almost Small Fries, must be fishing rank 2.
  3. Reveal the Magic School of all Fish, must be fishing rank 2.
  4. Winnow will scare away all fish except the school you are fishing for (each school) fishing rank 3.
Continue your training with Haarek Silverscale, Frode Silverscale, Yuri Smokesnare,Timor Flamecaster , Ryoshi, and Alejandro de la Paz. Follow them from the Wizard City to Grizzleheim, Dragonspyre , MooShu, Avalon, and Atzeca.

There are three types of rarities that a Fish can come in: Common, Rare, and Epic. These rarities represent how often Fish can be found skulking around in their native ponds. Common Fish are much easier to come by, while Rare Fish are a bit more uncommon. Epic Fish are very rare. For Common fish, you can earn 120 tickets for 1st place, 2nd 50 and third 20. For a rare fish earn 1st 250 tickets 2nd 120 & 3nd 50.

Finally for epic 500 tickets for 1st place, 250 for 2nd and 120 for third place. Only one take the first place, 2 the silver place (about +/-0,5 from the 1st ) and 3 the bronze place (about +/-0,5 from the 2nd). Fish have 3 different classifications which include Regular, Tall, and Large. Regular is the most common size used by Fish. Tall generally consists of Jellyfish and Squids while Large is mostly for Stingrays and other large Fish.

For the fishing tournament, we need the rarest fish that and only the small fry’s or whoppers. All the fish have a specific limit from keeper to whopper or keeper to small fry. Reveal Whoppers and almost Whoppers spell, show and fish that are +0,10 from the limit. Reveal Small Fries and almost Small Fries spell, show, and fish that are -0,10 from the limit.

The gold for these fish will be more than if we sell a regular fish. Catching a fish for the first time gives 100 times the normal experience of catching the same fish again. Catching rare fish and epic fish will give more experience than catching common fish. Different kinds of fish are ranked differently, and this classification depends on their degree of difficulty being caught. Any Fish can be caught using any lure, but using a higher rank lure gives a higher chance of catching higher rank fish. In order to have the best chance of catching any fish, you need the right lure or more rank and the right school. Example: For a fish school of storm, rank 2, needs the “minor spark lure” spell. For a common fish, usually, we didn’t need fishing luck. For a rare fish we need at least 15-25% luck and finally, for an epic fish, we need 25-50% fishing luck. Gear with additional Fishing Luck is available from Brandon Mistborn for Arena Tickets.

Everyone who enters a fish in a Tournament will earn the badge “Medal Catcher” plus “Deep Sea Pro (Catch 1 Whopper Fish) or “Catch of the Day”(Catch 1 Small Fry Fish). Currently, fishing ponds are available in portions of Wizard City, Krokotopia, MooShu, Dragonspyre, Celestia, Zafaria, Grizzleheim, Avalon , Atzeca as well as from houses purchased through bundles and all 7 schools houses. To catch a fish is easy: give the right lure (rank fish, school) and then when the lure sinks completely underwater, press the spacebar fast.

Sentinels will protect the other Fish by scaring away fish that are nibbling on Lures, or they may even steal the Lures.

If you want to catch a sentinel fish, when it first touches the lure, press space bar very fast, don’t wait to sink the lure.

To see the fish in your backpack press V to open your fish basket. You can sell them or keep them for your collection.

If you want to see how many different types of fish you have caught press the angler’s tome button in your fish basket.

At the bottom of the angler’s tome you will see the total fish.

  1. Total Fish
  2. Total different fish
  3. Total Small fries
  4. Total Whoppers

Fishing For Chest in Bundle Houses

In 2014 Wizard101 gave us fishing, by 2015 it had come to castles and houses.By 2016 after enough fishing, I noticed that some of the chests in bundle houses contained precious gifts. I started looking for more information online andI found various drops confirmed from houses purchased through bundles. 

My question was then: Does Every bundle pond, moat, or stream containing all of a bundles matching equipment? All of its gear, pet and mount inside the fishing chests found in its waters? I started a big hunt for the information, which continues to this day. In 2016, I decided to make a guide asking my friends in the community to screenshot anything that they got from chests in bundle houses

It turns out the answer is not so simple. To find out we need more wizards to get fishing and solve this mystery. Is all the equipment that comes bundled with Castles inside those chests? Some say yes. Myth or reality?

Eventually, we get confirmation that we can catch permanent mounts in Castles.

Fishing requires time and patience. It still has not gained a huge following in game, possibly due to its difficulty. If more wizards knew the secrets of fishing, and what they could win, we would have a better chance of finding out.

Fisherman Secrets:

  • Each Castle/House has a specific number of fish in its ponds.
  • When we catch some fish, they will be replaced automatically by new fish after 15 minutes.
  • Every Castle or location has one or more ponds.
  • Some ponds are connected between them so that the fishing spell you cast is for all. Some are not connected, so you need to repeat spells in each pond separately.
  • Each pond has specific limits. Some of the fish seem to travel through the limits, some even inside the obstacles, without being able to see them. So, we need specific spells to bring the fish closer to our position, and also to slow them down or even freeze them in place.
  • Each player has his own fish. No other one can scare off or catch the fish you see.
  • The fish you find in each Castle of the same type is the same for each Castle of the same name.
  • The chests there are like fish, in all categories, ranks, schools, and rarity. The fish are divided into common, rare and epic, the same is true for the chests.

 

The new fishing spell:

The new spell is like summon fish, affect the fish together with the chests. It gives us the ability to have a 50% better chance to get a chest from that moment on in the affected pond. KI gave us a great new fishing spell in Azteca, Buoy Chests 1, giving us fishers an exciting new advantage in finding these chests! The best plan is to catch everything in the pond within 15 minutes after we use these spells. 

More secrets:

Repeat the spell for every body of water that is not connected.Refresh the spells every 15 mins when the fish in the pond reset. 

How to search for rare/epic fish/chest:

We can tell them apart from the high speed and fast direction change.You will need fishing luck to catch these, and it may take dozens of resets to find them.If you do find them, stay there. 

Best plan after casting Buoy Chests 1:Use a rank 2 lure of whichever school seems to be most common in the housing pond when you use reveal. Try to catch as many fish as you can before the 15 min. reset.The spell only affects one pond every time, like the Banish Sentinels 1 does, before April 2018 update.*Banish Sentinels now Banishes Sentinels in the entire zone, not just the nearest pond.

  •  Every House also has a unique Doodlefish that confused us because they act like rare fish!

Are you ready to confirm that all the equipment is there?
