Angler

The Angler is an NPC that is first encountered randomly sleeping on the sand or on the water surface of an Ocean biome. He will move in when:


 * You have an empty House available for him.
 * You have talked to him and woken him up.

He doesn't sell anything, but rather assigns quests to players. Quest objectives generally involve finding him rare fish from different biomes, for which he dispenses various rewards. Once you complete a quest, you must wait until the following in-game day to request another.

Quest Rewards
After a quest has been completed, the Angler will reward the player with Coins and/or one or more of the following items:
