How to Complete PILGRIM QUEST in FISCH (The 12 NPC Challenge)
Successfully navigating these final series of multi-stage quests for this fishing adventure requires precision in execution across several zones. The final portion of this challenge mandates the player to complete PILGRIM QUEST in FISCH by also talking to and completing requests of twelve different persons across the Maple Meadows region. Only after ensuring that you have completed all stages of Pilgrim leading to this final sweep shall you go on to engage in the turkeys and item trading.
This guide provides a systematic, item-by-item approach to fulfill the objective of talking to "The Twelve", assuring that you secure every exotic and mythical fish needed for completion.
Preliminaries: Early Pilgrim Tasks
The final task, "Talk to 12 People," becomes available after fixes in an earlier quest chain. You have to speak to the primary Pilgrim NPC (usually located in Moosewood) and finish the following tasks:
Task 1: Any turkey donation: You can donate to the Pilgrim using any of the Turkeys. For that, pick any one type: Coral Turkey, Frost Turkey, etc. Turkeys are obtained easily by fishing; they can drop randomly on occasions in the various zones.
Task 2: Get trading going: Successfully trade three separate Turkeys to three other players. This shows that the "giving" spirit of the event is kept in mind.
Task 3: Acquire Shiny Turkey: Shiny Turkey is obtainably-fished in the "Shiny Surge" areas or can be acquired by use of gear maximizing the chances of "Shiny" acquisition such as Destiny Rod or Shiny Totem.
Once successfully completing all three stages, the Pilgrim quest shall change in format now making you accomplish the requests of the twelve NPCs scattered in Maple Meadow.
The Twelve Quests: Itemized Fish and Locations
In total, there is need to procure one specific fish forthwith from twelve NPCs in order to complete PILGRIM QUEST in FISCH." In a bird-eyes view, below is provided the full checklist of requirements, organized and grouped into categories:
| NPC / Request Giver | Required Fish | Rarity / Type | Location (Fishing Spot) |
| First Quest: | Manta Ray | Mythical | Russula Bay |
| Captain Halfbeard: | Captain's Goldfish | Common | Forepond / Forsaken Shores |
| Sunbury May: | Potat Rocha | Exotic | Sunstone Island |
| Marina Mike: | Grand Reef Guardian | Mythical | Grand Reef |
| Fifth Quest: | Scalloped Hammerhead | Exotic | Castaway Coves / Cliffs |
| Fletcher Frank: | Masjora | Mythical | Temple Island (Use Temple Bait) |
| Seventh Quest: | Half A Baby Pond | Exotic | Snowcapped Island (Fish in the pond) |
| Eighth Quest: | Hunt Fish | Mythical | Mushroom Growth Swamp |
| Ninth Quest: | Angler Bro Shark | Legendary | Keepers Outfall |
| Tenth Quest: | Sea Turtle | Common | Terrapin Island |
| Eleventh Quest: | Trembled Bass | Exotic | Moosewood |
| Sent Fast: | Molten Fin Fish | Exotic | Russula Volcano (Must use Enchanted Bait) |
Expert Efficiency Analysis:
From my own experience, trying to memorize all twelve places at once is just counterproductive. Instead, first target the required bait/enchantment (i.e., Temple Bait for the Masjora or Enchanted Bait for the Molten Fin Fish) and then head straight for the more difficult Mythical/Legendary fish (Manta Ray, Hunt Fish, etc.) before sweeping up the more common Exotics. This will lessen your number of repeat trips.
Completing the Last Steps, Rewards, and More
After you have successfully handed over all twelve different fish to all twelve different NPCs in Maple Meadow, you will have fulfilled the requirement to complete PILGRIM QUEST in FISCH in its entirety.
Final Reward: The main reward for finishing the entire quest chain of Pilgrim is a Cornucopia Rod.
Cornucopia rod Passive: This rod, while passive, has a chance of 10% to give a "Gravy Mutation." On every piece of fish that this rod catches, it randomly drops a piece of food every three seconds, contributing to 10% progress towards mutation.
Should I provide information about how to obtain the required Enchanted Bait or any other piece of fishing equipment?
