Upon placing 300 or more tiles of Shimmer in the Underground or Cavern layers, an Aether biome is created. Throwing coins into Shimmer increases the player's Coin Luck, of which the strength and duration of will be determined by the value of the coin and the amount thrown. The Bottomless Shimmer Bucket can also pour endless amounts of shimmer, which can be obtained after defeating the Moon Lord by either submerging a Bottomless Water Bucket into it, or crafting one using a Bottomless Water Bucket and 10 Luminite Bars at an Ancient Manipulator. It cannot be picked up with Buckets, but it can be pumped. Shimmer is the only liquid that cannot be fished in. It has a variety of effects on different items and NPCs, triggered through contact. Him being an arrogant little kid just makes the whole thing that much worse.Shimmer is a shiny, pearlescent liquid found in the Aether, a mini-biome which generates in the Underground or Cavern layer, always on the same side of the world as the Jungle. but i feel like i go through all the trouble and burn through my bait only for him to "reward" me with dung. It would be more fun if he actually REWARDED me. tempted to see if anyone has these items and can just give them to me so i can spare myself the headache. I feel like this whole quest mechanic is a big waste of time. Why couldn't they also make the angler sell bait? i need the three items needed for the cellphone.Īlso trying to get the gold bug net and gold fishing rod. Literally like one item, if that, and it's always a dumb potion or some other useless thing.

I've completed several quests now, but he keeps giving me garbage! i'm not even in hardmode, and i probably won't be for a long time, since i am concerned for my jungle. Please note that if you have a quest fish in your inventory, you won't be able to catch another.ĭon't forget the other fishes you can catch, many are quite useful when making potions.Įndless water bucket? never heard of it til now. When you have caught one quest fish put it in the chest, then fish another until it's time to return to angler. Then you will be able to catch more than one quest fish for later use next time angler asks for it to save time. When you have found a good fishing spot, put down a chest there. Later on when you have better gear you can get away with smaller ponds. You can compensate for low fishing power by fishing in a large pond/lake, preferably 300 tiles or larger. Fishing power influences you chances to get a good catch, the higher the better. It is best to fish in the morning before 10am or early evening after 4pm as the fishing power will be higher. Don't fret if you fail to turn it in in time, he will ask for that fish again eventually. never gonna get the rewards from the angler cause i either can't find the fish he wants, or if i DO catch them, he suddenly wants something else and the quest isn't completed, so i'm left with a useless item he no longer wants.Īngler will ask for a new quest fish each morning (4:30am) and you have until next morning to complete the quest. Seems like i'm just having a lot of bad luck. I found VERY few higher levels of bait, like the buggy bait in the jungle, and i can craft those enchanted nightcrawlers, but i strangely can't find many worms. most of the bait i find ranges from 10% to 20% or something like that. I have the corruption fishing pole, 20% power. I mean, i caught an eater of plankton by sheer luck, but when i brought it back to him, he ignored me completely and asked for a completely different fish, a dirtfish, which i absolutely could not find and almost ran out of bait trying to catch, so i just gave up on it.ĭo i need certain levels of fishing power to catch these quest fish? no matter how hard i try, i never seem to find any of the fish the angler asks for, despite me fishing in the areas he tells me to.
