Angler/cs

Rybář je NPC který nic neprodává, ale dává hráči úkoly. Cílem úkolů bývá chycení rare fish z příslušných biomů, za což hráč získá vzácnou odměnu.

On the, he will throw Frost Daggerfish at nearby enemies when threatened.

Při prvním setkání je to nejdříve Spící Rybář, který spí někde na písku u řeky nebo na vodní ploše v Ocean biomu. Objeví se, jakmile jsou splněny následující požadavky:


 * Ve světě se nachází volný Dům.
 * Hráč se k němu přiblíží a vzbudí ho.

Initiating a quest

 * The day's quest is determined at 4:30 a.m. each day, regardless of whether or not the Angler has been spoken to.
 * Speak to the Angler and click his "quest" button. On, simply speak to the Angler.
 * The Angler will give the player a tip on where to find the fish.
 * The player will require a Fishing Pole, Bait, and a sizeable amount of liquid (see Fishing) to catch the quest fish.
 * The item will only be catchable while its quest is in effect (from 4:30 a.m. of that day until 4:30 a.m. of the next day)
 * The quest fish can only be caught if it is not already in the player's inventory.
 * Speak again to the Angler to complete the quest.
 * The quest fish must be in the player's inventory.
 * Click his "quest" button. On, simply speak to the Angler.
 * The quest fish in the player's inventory will be replaced with a reward.

Quest rewards
After a quest has been completed, the Angler will reward the player with one item, a number of Coins, and possibly some bait. Note: After the 150th completed quest, the chances permanently reset to their base rates below, as if the player were always on their first quest each time thereafter (this is possibly unintended). Coins are not affected by this and continue to scale up to a maximum of per quest.
 * Item chances: The chances of functional, non-potion items gradually increase from their base rates (shown below) with the number of quests completed: they become more likely (and others less likely) as more quests are completed.
 * At 50 quests, the chance of a receiving a functional item reward is approximately twice the base rate.
 * At 100 quests, the chance is approximately four times the base rate.
 * At 150 quests, the chances are the highest, at about six times the base rate.
 * Coin quantity: The number of coins awarded increases with the number of quests completed, and is rounded down to the nearest gold coin (or silver coin, if less than ), up to a maximum of . The average coin reward is approximately, plus per completed quest, before rounding. These values are doubled in Expert Mode.
 * Bait chances: The Angler may additionally reward the player with an amount of bait, with chances scaling from ~50% on the first completed quest to 100% by the 50th quest. The average quality and amount of bait given similarly increases with the number of completed quests, up to a maximum of 7 Master Baits.

Trivia

 * The Angler is one of the few Town NPCs that can be obtained regardless of the current stage of game progression (others being the Guide and Stylist).
 * The Angler's sprite is unique, as he is a child, and therefore younger than all the others. He is a block shorter than any of the others and is the only child NPC in the game.
 * While most NPCs die via the usual death animation, the Angler simply vanishes in a puff of smoke. He also has a unique death message: Instead of "[Angler name] was slain..." the message reads "[Angler name] has left!" This is likely due to rating concerns, as depictions of children being killed tend to result in an Adults Only rating from the ESRB, which might have limited the game's distribution. This is not the case in the : The Angler still disappears in a puff of smoke, but the status message reads "Angler was slain…"
 * The sleeping Angler is able to float on both Water and Honey.
 * The quest dialog for the Clownfish is a reference to the Pixar movie, Finding Nemo.
 * The quest dialog for the Batfish is a reference to the iconic Batman theme song.
 * The quest dialog for the Pengfish is a reference to Superman.
 * Despite his Quest dialog claiming that he will be "Sooo Rich!", the Jewelfish is still worth nothing when sold.
 * The achievement "Fast and Fishious" is a play on words, referencing the movie series Fast and Furious.
 * The Angler seems to be an orphan, with his quote "I don't have a mommy or daddy, but I have a lot of fish! It's close enough!"
