0 of 8 steps checked

  1. Leave the Overworld through its east edge at (79, 25–26). Victor the Sailor moves around the south-west of The Docks during the day (around (10, 24) by day, near his house door at (4, 32) in the morning, evening and night). Choose Talk about Fisherman's Friend.

  2. Return to the Overworld and talk to the Guide around (20, 14).

  3. Talk to Martin in the south-east village.

  4. Talk to Anna (outside around (7, 52) by morning and day, otherwise in her house).

  5. Find Sandra around (8, 42) in the western woods. Bring 3 Logs and 2 Worm Bait and use the quest topic; she takes them and binds the rod grip.

  6. Catch 3 Raw Shrimp and 2 common fish: Raw Trout, Raw Sardine or Raw Herring in any mix. Only fish caught after Sandra's binding count, so fish you caught earlier do not help. Any water works: Shrimp and Sardine need Fishing 1, Trout needs Fishing 8 and Herring Fishing 10.

  7. Talk to Victor with one prepared supply in your backpack. He takes it.

  8. Talk to Victor once more (keep a free slot) to receive your reward.
