All Fishing Job Quests in Fae Farm

Job Quests are a great way to demonstrate your expertise in a specific skill. Completing every quest and then the final achievement to unlock the outfit proves you are a mighty fine angler. On top of this, you will need a range of fish to use for certain recipes and to give to fellow townsfolk who planned a big fish dinner without obtaining the main ingredient. Lucky that they have you.

Where to Start Fishing Job Quests

You may think you should visit Eddy the Fisherman at Stay-a-While Bay to begin the quests. It is a little confusing, but you have to seek out Nessa. You can often find her on the Beach, but if she is not there, she will fish on one of the piers at the Docks.

You can utilize two ways to get to Nessa quickly, depending on which location Nessa is in.

  1. From the Homestead, use the pedestal to teleport to Saltwater Mines. Drop straight off the southern cliff onto the beach, and then run left until you find Nessa in front of the building on the beach.
  2. From the Homestead, use the pedestal to teleport to West Town. Run south down the stairs until you are at the Docks. From there, there are five piers in which you can search to find Nessa fishing. In my experience, she usually starts from the left to right.
Tip:

Don’t forget to utilize the map to see which area Nessa is currently located in. If you select her, an arrow will appear and show you which direction she is in. A handy way to find her at the Docks.

Where to find Deep-Sea Fish and Seafood Creatures

If you have never swam too far out or read the fish descriptions in the Almanac, you may have spent a significant portion of the game not knowing that there are two more fishing areas, which both boast unique fish. Below, you will find directions to both locations.

Seafood Creatures

To access the fishing area for seafood creatures, you must have completed the Scorched Caverns and received the Bash ability. Once this has been done, visit the beach area near Eddy the Fisherman. From here, swim south until you hit the island. Climb it via the righthand side, and then fish off the pier.

Deep-Sea Fish

To access the fishing area for deep-sea fish, first make your way to the Saltwater Mines. Once you are at the entrance, swim south until you find an island. Climb up the southeast side and then run over to the island’s western side to fish up deep-sea fish. Alternatively, jumping off the broken bridge near the Saltwater Mines will bring you to the island if you time the double jump correctly.
