In Mirthwood, the A Fish a Day quest introduces players to the fishing mechanics by tasking them with catching specific fish for Gareth near Greyshore. Here’s a quest guide:

Quest Overview

  • Objective: Catch and deliver a Herring, Cod, and Lobster to Gareth.

  • Reward: Boiled Lobster Recipe.

Steps to Complete the Quest

  1. Initiate the Quest:

    • Travel to Greyshore, located on the northeastern coast.

    • Find Gareth near the docks and speak with him to start the quest.

  2. Obtain a Fishing Pole:

    • Ensure you have a fishing pole.

    • If you don't have one, you can purchase a "Pointy Stick" (fishing rod) from the farm southeast of your homestead. Look for a cart with a buy symbol and check under the tools tab.

  3. Catch the Required Fish:

    • Equip your fishing pole and head to the coastline south of Greyshore.

    • Look for fishing spots indicated by ripples in the water.

    • Approach a fishing spot and press the primary action button (e.g., M1) to cast your line.

    • When an exclamation mark appears, press the action button again to start reeling in.

    • Keep the cursor within the green region on the circle to fill the meter.

    • When circles close in, try to press the action button when it's around the outer ring of the meter for a boost.

    • The smaller the circle, the rarer the fish.

    • Continue fishing until you've caught:

      • Herring

      • Cod

      • Lobster (may take several attempts due to its rarity)

  4. Deliver the Fish to Gareth:

    • After catching each fish, return to Gareth and hand it over to progress the quest.

    • Repeat this process for all three fish.

  5. Complete the Quest:

    • Upon delivering all three fish, Gareth will reward you with the Boiled Lobster Recipe.

    • Access your inventory and select the recipe to learn it.

    • You can now prepare Boiled Lobster at a cooking pot.

Tips

  • Fishing: Pay attention to the fishing mini-game mechanics to increase your chances of catching the desired fish.

  • Persistence: Catching a Lobster may require multiple attempts; don't get discouraged if it takes time.
