Complete NPC Quest Guide by Location

Fisherman Island NPC Quests

Fisherman Island is your starting point and home to several important quest NPCs. This is where you’ll complete your first quests and earn rewards that set you up for success throughout the game.

1. Test Subjects Quest (Scientist NPC)

The Scientist is conducting experiments and needs specific fish specimens. This quest is perfect for beginners because it introduces you to fishing in different locations and teaches you about fish rarities.

Requirements:

  • 1x Darwin Clownfish (found in coral reef areas near Fisherman Island)
  • 1x Dogfish (deeper ocean waters, requires a boat)
  • 1x Barracuda Fish (tropical waters, rare rarity)

How to Complete: Start by fishing around Fisherman Island for the Darwin Clownfish. You’ll find these near coral formations with a 1 in 750 catch rate. For the Dogfish, you need to venture into deeper ocean waters—I recommend buying the cheapest boat (50 Gold) and sailing out until you see the “Deep Ocean” indicator. Barracuda Fish can be caught at multiple locations but Fisherman Island works fine with a decent rod.

Reward: Luck II Potion (significantly increases your rare fish catch rate for a limited time)

Pro Tip: Save the Luck II Potion for when you’re hunting for epic or legendary fish. Using it while fishing at higher-level islands like Lost Isle or Esoteric Depths maximizes its value.

2. Diamond Researchers Quest (Lary NPC)

This is hands-down the hardest quest in Fish It right now. Lary has assembled a team of researchers looking for the ultimate fishing achievement, and completing this questline rewards you with the best rod in the game (before Elemental Rod was added).

Requirements:

  • Own an Elemental Rod (requires completing its own questline)
  • Catch 1x Secret Fish at Coral Reefs
  • Catch 1x Secret Fish at Tropical Grove
  • Bring 1x Mutated Gemstone Ruby
  • Bring 1x Lochness Monster
  • Catch 1,000 fish with perfect throws

How to Complete: This quest is a marathon, not a sprint. First, you need the Elemental Rod which already requires significant effort. Secret fish have incredibly low catch rates (1 in millions), so you’ll need maximum luck boosts, potions, and patience. For the mutated Gemstone Ruby, fish at ocean areas with Mutation potions active. The Lochness Monster is a legendary catch that requires specific weather conditions.

The 1,000 perfect throws requirement means timing your casts when the luck meter hits the “Perfect” zone every single time. I recommend practicing this mechanic early so you’re naturally hitting perfects by the time you attempt this quest.

Reward: Diamond Rod (450% Luck, 50% Speed, 450,000kg Weight capacity)

Pro Tip: Join the Fish It Discord server to coordinate with other players hunting secret fish. They often share spawn locations and weather patterns that increase your odds.

Kohana and Kohana Volcano NPC Quests

Kohana is the second island most players visit, and its volcano area contains valuable quest NPCs that reward specialized equipment.

3. Kohana Explorer Quest (Lava Fisherman NPC)

The Lava Fisherman challenges you to prove your skill by fishing in the dangerous volcanic waters without dying to lava.

Requirements:

  • Catch volcanic fish in Kohana Volcano without falling into lava
  • Stay alive for the entire fishing session

How to Complete: Navigate carefully to the fishing spots inside the volcano. The safest spots are the rock platforms near the entrance. Avoid walking too close to lava edges—falling in means instant death and quest failure. Fish here until you catch enough volcanic species to complete the objective.

Reward: Lava Rod (180% Luck, 25% Speed, perfect for volcanic fishing)

Pro Tip: The Lava Rod is specifically designed for Kohana Volcano and gives bonus stats when fishing in volcanic waters, making it ideal for farming Magma Gobys which sell for excellent money.

4. Spicy Fish Quest (Volcanic Fisherman NPC)

This NPC wants you to collect specific volcanic fish species in large quantities.

Requirements:

  • 20x Lava Butterfly (Uncommon, 1 in 125 catch rate)
  • 5x Magma Goby (Uncommon, 1 in 55 catch rate)
  • 1x Lavafin Tuna (Legendary, 1 in 10k catch rate)

How to Complete: Start fishing at Kohana Volcano with your best available rod. The Lava Butterflies and Magma Gobys will come relatively quickly—expect to catch them within 30-45 minutes of consistent fishing. The Lavafin Tuna is the real challenge here. I recommend using Luck potions and fishing during in-game events that boost legendary spawn rates.

Reward: Luck I Potion

Pro Tip: Magma Gobys are one of the best early-game money makers. While hunting for your quest requirements, you’ll earn significant coins from selling extras.

5. Swimming Narwhals Quest (Narwhal NPC)

A friendly Narwhal wants company and needs you to gather food and find another narwhal friend.

Requirements:

  • Catch 150 fish total (any fish counts)
  • Catch 1x Narwhal (Epic rarity, 1 in 2k at Ocean)

How to Complete: The 150 fish requirement is straightforward—just keep fishing anywhere. For catching another Narwhal, head to the open ocean with your best luck-boosting rod and bait. Narwhals spawn in ocean waters, so avoid fishing near islands. This quest tests your patience more than skill.

Reward: Enchant Stone

Pro Tip: Enchant Stones are valuable items used to add special effects to your rods. Save it for your best rod or use it at the Enchant Altar in Esoteric Depths for maximum benefit.

Ancient Jungle NPC Quests

Ancient Jungle is one of the newer islands with challenging quests that reward exploration and dedication.

6. Mushroom Collector Quest (Forager Jen NPC)

Forager Jen needs mushrooms scattered throughout the Ancient Jungle for her recipes.

Requirements:

  • Collect 30 mushrooms around Ancient Jungle

How to Complete: Mushrooms spawn near trees, rocks, and temple structures throughout the jungle. They glow slightly, making them easier to spot at night. Systematic exploration works best—start at one end of the island and sweep across in a grid pattern. Some mushrooms spawn in hard-to-reach places, so be ready to jump and climb.

Reward: Mushroom Lantern (helps illuminate dark areas)

Pro Tip: Mushrooms respawn over time, so if you can’t find all 30, wait a few minutes and check previously collected spots again.

7. Variety Diet Quest (Forager Jen NPC)

Forager Jen has a second quest focusing on mutated fish collection.

Requirements:

  • Catch 12 fish with mutations (any mutation type counts)

How to Complete: Mutations are special visual variants of normal fish—they might have different colors, patterns, sizes, or glowing effects. Your mutation catch rate increases with specific bobbers, enchantments, and the Mutation Hunter enchant. Fish anywhere you want, but islands with higher fish diversity like Coral Reefs or Ocean give you more chances.

Reward: Mutation I Potion (increases mutation encounter rate)

Pro Tip: Once you get the Mutation I Potion, use it immediately to catch more mutated fish faster, creating a positive feedback loop for future mutation hunting.

8. Elemental Rod Questline (Underground Cellar)

This multi-step questline is one of the most complex in Fish It, requiring you to complete several interconnected objectives across multiple islands.

Requirements:

  • Access Underground Cellar at Ancient Jungle (door opens only at nighttime)
  • Complete Ghostfin quest from Sisyphus Statue at Lost Island (requires Diving Gear)
  • Complete three additional elemental quests
  • Climb the Temple and hold a Secret Fish
  • Speak with Temple Guardian and sacrifice the fish

How to Complete: This questline is extensive. First, get Diving Gear to reach the Sisyphus Statue at Lost Island. Accept the Ghostfin quest which requires catching an extremely rare fish. While working on that, complete the three elemental quests scattered across the map (fire, water, earth themed).

Once you have all prerequisites, head to the Ancient Jungle Temple at nighttime. Climb to the top while holding a Secret Fish in your inventory. Interact with the Temple Guardian and choose to sacrifice your fish (yes, you lose it permanently).

After completing all steps, return to the Underground Cellar to claim your reward.

Reward: Elemental Rod (400% Luck, 40% Speed, 400,000kg Weight—currently the best rod in the game)

Pro Tip: The Elemental Rod is worth every ounce of effort. Its stats make catching secret and mythic fish significantly easier, and it’s essential for endgame progression. Recommend using Mutation Hunter II enchantment on it.

Coral Reefs NPC Quests

Coral Reefs is a mid-tier island with NPCs offering both easy and challenging quests.

9. Prove Thyself Quest (Sam NPC)

Sam wants you to demonstrate your fishing prowess by catching rare fish.

Requirements:

  • 3x Epic Rarity Fish (any epic works)
  • 1x Pink Dolphin (Legendary, 1 in 5k at Coral Reefs)

How to Complete: Epic fish appear at a 1 in 1k to 1 in 3k rate depending on location. Coral Reefs has several epic options like Domino Damsel and Panther Grouper. Fish here with Luck boosting equipment until you get three epics. The Pink Dolphin is rarer and requires patience—expect to spend 1-2 hours fishing specifically for it unless you get lucky.

Reward: 25,000 Coins

Pro Tip: 25,000 coins is a massive amount for mid-game players. This single quest can fund your next rod or boat upgrade immediately.

10. We’ll Show Him Quest (Ram NPC)

Ram has a competitive rivalry with Sam and wants to prove he’s the better fisherman through your efforts.

Requirements:

  • Catch 8 big fish (fish with high weight values)

How to Complete: “Big fish” means fish with exceptional weight stats. Your rod’s weight capacity affects what qualifies, but generally you want fish weighing 10kg or more. Legendary and mythic fish naturally have high weights, but even some rare fish can count if they roll high weight stats. Fish at locations with valuable fish spawns like Tropical Grove or Ocean.

Reward: Luck I Potion

Pro Tip: This quest naturally completes itself while doing other activities. Just check your catches and count anything noticeably heavy.

Tropical Grove NPC Quests

Tropical Grove offers exploration-based quests with excellent coin rewards.

11. Lost Treasure Quest (Captain Jack NPC)

Captain Jack is a pirate searching for buried treasure and needs your help locating treasure chests.

Requirements:

  • Loot 5 treasure chests around Tropical Grove

How to Complete: Treasure chests spawn randomly on beaches, underwater near rocks, and hidden among coral formations. They appear as glowing chests with a golden shimmer. The spawns are completely random, so systematic island exploration is your best bet. Check beaches first, then underwater areas, then hidden coves. Chests respawn every few minutes, so if you find a spawn location, you can return to it.

Reward: 40,000 Coins

Pro Tip: This is the highest coin reward from a single quest. Use these coins to buy premium bobbers or save toward a legendary rod. The treasure chest locations often have rare fish nearby, so you can fish while treasure hunting.

Esoteric Depths NPC Quests

Esoteric Depths is the mystical island where enchantments happen, and its quest reflects that theme.

12. Enchanting Discoveries Quest (Esoteric Gatekeeper NPC)

The Esoteric Gatekeeper wants you to master the art of enchanting by repeatedly using enchant stones.

Requirements:

  • Use enchant stones 30 times (apply enchantments to rods)

How to Complete: You don’t need 30 different enchant stones—you can apply and remove the same enchantment repeatedly. Visit the Enchant Altar at Esoteric Depths (costs 400 coins to enter via Cole NPC). Apply an enchantment to your rod, then remove it and reapply. Repeat this process 30 times. It’s tedious but straightforward.

Reward: Super Enchant Stone (guarantees better enchantment rolls)

Pro Tip: The Super Enchant Stone is game-changing for min-maxing your best rod. Save it for when you get your Elemental or Diamond Rod to ensure perfect enchantment stats.

How to Maximize Quest Rewards?

How to Maximize Quest Rewards

Completing quests efficiently requires strategy. Here are my proven methods for getting the most out of every NPC quest:

Prioritize by Progression Stage

Early Game (Levels 1-20): Start with Test Subjects, Kohana Explorer, and Mushroom Collector. These quests give you immediate power spikes through potions and specialized rods that make subsequent fishing easier.

Mid Game (Levels 20-50): Focus on Prove Thyself, Lost Treasure, and Spicy Fish. The coin rewards fund crucial equipment upgrades, while the potions help you catch rarer fish needed for endgame quests.

Late Game (Level 50+): Tackle Enchanting Discoveries, Diamond Researchers, and Elemental Rod Questline. These lengthy quests require significant time investment but provide the absolute best equipment in the game.

Use Potions Strategically

Don’t waste potions on common fish grinding. Save Luck potions for:

  • Hunting secret fish for Diamond Researchers quest
  • Farming mythic and legendary catches for collections
  • Completing questlines with rare fish requirements

Mutation potions should be used when:

  • Working on Variety Diet quest
  • Collecting mutated fish for trading
  • Farming high-value mutation variants

Join the Fish It Community

The official Fish It Discord server (discord.gg/fishit) is essential for quest completion. Players share:

  • Secret fish spawn alerts
  • Weather patterns for rare catches
  • Trading opportunities for quest-required fish
  • Group coordination for difficult objectives

Follow @FishitROBLOX on Twitter/X for:

  • New quest announcements
  • Limited-time events
  • Redeem codes for free potions and bobbers

Farm Coins Efficiently Between Quests

While progressing through questlines, maximize your coin earnings by:

  • Fishing at Kohana Volcano for Magma Gobys (excellent value)
  • Selling mutation fish for 3-5x normal prices
  • Completing repeatable daily quests from NPCs
  • Trading duplicate rare catches to other players

More coins means better equipment, which makes quest completion faster.

Advanced Quest Completion Tips

After completing every quest multiple times across different accounts, I’ve discovered several advanced strategies:

Perfect Throw Consistency

For Diamond Researchers and any quest requiring fishing efficiency, master perfect throws. The trick is watching the luck meter carefully—it fills at a consistent rate, so you can develop muscle memory for the timing. Practice by:

  1. Watching the meter reach the “Perfect” zone
  2. Noting the visual/audio cue
  3. Releasing immediately
  4. Repeating until it becomes automatic

With practice, you’ll hit perfects 90%+ of the time, dramatically reducing the grind for 1,000 perfect throw requirements.

Multi-Quest Stacking

Some quests progress simultaneously. For example:

  • Catch fish for Swimming Narwhals while hunting epics for Prove Thyself
  • Collect mushrooms while traveling between fishing spots in Ancient Jungle
  • Complete Variety Diet while working toward We’ll Show Him (mutated big fish count for both)

Always have multiple active quests and work on whichever makes sense for your current location.

Optimal Equipment for Each Quest

Match your equipment to quest requirements:

  • Treasure hunting: Fast boats for quick travel
  • Volcanic quests: Lava Rod for stat bonuses
  • Mutation hunting: Mutation Hunter enchant + Mutation bobber
  • Secret fish hunting: Max luck setup (best rod + luck bobber + luck potion)

Switching equipment based on your current objective saves hours of grinding.

Time-Gated Mechanics

Some quest elements only work during specific times:

  • Underground Cellar: Opens exclusively at nighttime (watch for sky darkening)
  • Treasure Chests: Respawn every 5-10 minutes
  • Secret Fish: Higher spawn rates during certain weather conditions
  • Mushrooms: Easier to spot at night due to glow effect

Plan your play sessions around these mechanics to avoid wasted time.

Upcoming Quests and Future Content

The Fish It developers (Fish Atelier) regularly add new content. Based on community teasers and Discord announcements, upcoming quest features include:

Astrid’s Mystery Quest

Currently marked as “Coming Soon,” Astrid NPC at Ancient Jungle will eventually offer a questline. Speculation suggests it will involve:

  • Ancient temple puzzles
  • Secret fish discoveries
  • Lore revelations about the Fish It world

Seasonal Event Quests

Fish It runs limited-time events (Christmas, Halloween, etc.) with exclusive NPC quests:

  • Christmas 2025 featured Santa’s Gift Factory with present-collecting quests
  • Birthday Event quests reward special rod skins for catching specific quantities of fish

These events typically last 1-2 weeks, so prioritize them when active for exclusive rewards that never return.

Potential New Quest Islands

Data miners have discovered references to unreleased islands that will likely include new quest NPCs:

  • Frozen Tundra region (ice-themed quests)
  • Deep Abyss extension (extreme depth fishing challenges)
  • Sky Islands (floating island fishing mechanics)

Common Quest Mistakes to Avoid

Through helping hundreds of players in Discord, I’ve seen these mistakes repeatedly:

Mistake #1: Selling Quest Fish Never sell fish needed for quests until you complete them. Always check quest requirements before visiting the merchant. I once sold a Pink Dolphin and had to farm another 8 hours to get a replacement.

Mistake #2: Using Quest Rewards Immediately Potions and stones are more valuable when used strategically. Don’t pop a Luck II Potion while fishing for common fish at Fisherman Island—save it for endgame content.

Mistake #3: Skipping Equipment Upgrades Some players attempt Diamond Researchers with starter equipment. Don’t do this. Proper progression through early quests gives you the tools needed for harder challenges.

Mistake #4: Ignoring Discord Community Solo quest completion takes 3-5x longer than coordinated efforts. The community shares spawn alerts, trading opportunities, and strategies that massively accelerate progress.

Mistake #5: Not Reading Quest Descriptions Carefully Some quests have hidden requirements or specific completion steps. Always read the full quest text and ask questions if anything’s unclear.

Fish It Quest Tier List

Based on reward value, completion difficulty, and progression impact:

S-Tier (Complete ASAP):

  • Elemental Rod Questline (best rod in game)
  • Diamond Researchers (second-best rod)
  • Lost Treasure (huge coin payout)

  • Test Subjects (early game power spike)

Final Thoughts

Completing all NPC quests in Fish It transforms you from casual fisher to endgame master. The journey from catching your first Darwin Clownfish for the Scientist to sacrificing a Secret Fish at the Ancient Temple teaches you every game mechanic while rewarding you with the absolute best equipment available.

My recommendation: Start with early island quests to build your equipment foundation, then systematically work through mid-game coin rewards to fund your progression, and finally tackle the massive endgame questlines for ultimate power. Don’t skip the community aspect—Fish It’s Discord and trading scene make difficult quests significantly more manageable.

The fishing grind is real, but with proper quest completion strategy, you’ll catch those mythic and secret fish way faster than players who ignore NPC questlines. Now get out there and start completing these quests!
