Here is a video version of this quest guide.

New World Fishing Quest Chain Guide

This is a list of the 15 quests in the New World Fishing Quest Chain. You will be rewarded with various fishing gear and poles along the way. I was able to complete this quest chain at character level 26 but it was a big challenge getting from point to point. You won't be able to use the best drops from this chain until 60, so please take these two factors into consideration before starting on it. When you complete a quest it will unlock the next in the chain. You can use these toggles below to hide the quest rewards and tips from Dynomega if you don't want any help or spoilers.

  1. #1 Fishing With Shields Pickup: Michael Shields Turn-in: Michael Shields

    Michael Shields location is outside of Windsward Town. You will need to pick bushes to collect Woodlouse Baits. If you have any in storage bring them with you to save some time. The drop rate on Woodlouse Baits is really low. Don't worry about the bulrush or briar, only the bushes have Woodlouse.

  15. #15 - Final Quest To be a Grand Master Pickup: Gaspar Machera Turn-in: Gaspar Machera

    Grand Master Gaspar's final test for you is to reach Level 100 in Fishing. You got this champ! Use my Leveling Fishing Skill guide if you want to know the quickest way to level your fishing.

    During closed beta and open beta this quest did not complete when I hit level 100 Fishing. If this happens to you, don't worry ... Keep fishing until you hit 101 and it will then complete. This is most likely the result of a bad conditional statement in the code using a > instead of a >= expression to validate the current fishing level requirement.

    You will get one of the Legendary Fishing Poles of course! Enjoy and don't salvage it!!!

Legendary Pole Concerns ...

During open beta you did not get to choose the legendary pole, it was random. There were also 4 different ones, with different stats and cosmetics. We really need to see a way to obtain the other poles, or the stats on them needs to be normalized. You don't want people feeling like they have to get one specific one because it is better then the rest. Or, maybe give us another way to obtain these others poles. Perhaps after completing the quest chain the others can then be obtained from fishing, or dropped from named enemies.

Also please make sure you don't salvage your legendary fishing pole. I was able to in open beta, and it only gave me 12 repair parts.
