Fishron is a new boss?
The Angler mentions Fishron in one of his quotes. maybe Fishron is a new boss?

Golden Fishing Rod
I doubt the Golden Fishing Rod is actually a reference to Animal Crossing. It's far too obscure. Now, if it actually did resemble the Gold Fishing Rod in Animal Crossing, then I'd say it is. Sodapone (talk) 22:09, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Angler Set
Just wanted to say, that the angler pieces only being given after the 20th 30th and 40th quests are not true, I have done about 15-20 quests and gotten all 3 pieces. WelchDrew (talk) 05:59, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Are you absolutely sure you didn't do more than that? The game code seems to clearly constrain those items to the 20th, 30th, and 40th quests. There's no random allowance for those items under any conditions, as far as I can tell -- and in practice I got them at those milestones.  Equazcion ( talk ) 06:41, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * PS. The # of finished quests may be tied to the player data rather than the world data, so if you had completed quests with the same player in different worlds prior, that could maybe explain the apparent discrepancy.  Equazcion ( talk ) 06:44, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I did do Yrimir's trick with using multiple worlds, but I have not done anywhere near 40 quests and I have all the pieces, most of the quests I have done though were on one world. I have done about 5 or so quests with the multiple world trick and the rest on a single hardmode world. It was on 1.2.4 though not 1.2.4.1, I am not sure if maybe it was a bug they fixed. WelchDrew (talk) 06:49, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what caused this either. But I get the feeling your experience is the exception rather than the rule, whether it's caused by a bug or some other circumstance. Being that we know the intended and usual behavior, the info should probably go back on the page.  Equazcion ( talk ) 06:57, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I cannot agree, this is not the first time part of the code screwed up(I remember the dungeon guardian, was supposed to do 1000 damage back in earlier 1.2 versions, but was bugged to do 9999 damage, which they did fix), you can't rely on the code for everything. Whatever, I am done with you, re-add your completely false info to the wiki, see if I care, its false and will always be false until Re-Logic gets off their hind ends and fixes it, maybe in 1.3. I am done with you now. WelchDrew (talk) 07:17, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm open to the possibility that the code has screwed up, and have added a bug describing your experience, along with the original angler armor info.  Equazcion ( talk ) 07:40, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

Angler's quest
I made this picture : http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/727488Fishing.gif but I don't know where I can place it... Lightg4 (talk) 20:07, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
 * It's a nice image, though I'm likewise not quite sure where it'd fit in. In most cases a table with item links and similar would probably be more convenient. Did you have something special in mind when you made it? Also, is the info on it gained from personal game experience or somewhere else? NoseOfCthulhu (talk) 00:47, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I used this page : Angler. I made it to help the player who search some quest fish Lightg4 (talk) 11:12, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Apparently there has been some issues (see Talk:Fishing) with determining where fish can be caught, meaning your image could include errors. As mentioned it would also probably be best to use a table - here's an example:
 * {| class="terraria" style="text-align:center; width:300px; height:100px;"

! X !! Hallow !! Corruption !! Crimson ! Surface For now I'll place it on the Angler page as a link. If you'd like it uploaded on this wiki you can use the upload function. NoseOfCthulhu (talk) 22:41, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
 * }
 * I'm however if it would actually help players. An overview like this would be useful if the player could choose what fish to catch, but as that is not the case the only info needed is where the fish can be caught - something the list on Angler already provides.
