Walkthrough

• Have 30 fishing skill or greater, including temporary boosts from either gear or image support, and talk to Zaldon.
  • The latent effect of Trainee's spectacles has also been confirmed to count toward the 30 skill requirement.
  • Once you've flagged the quest by talking to Zaldon with adequate fishing skill and The Real Gift completed, you will be able to complete the quest for the first time even if you're under 30, as well as for subsequent turn-ins.
  • Zaldon will change his dialogue dynamically whether or not you have 30+ skill (telling you to talk to Gabwaleid if you have 29 or lower), but will still accept fish as long as you've flagged the quest.
• Trade Zaldon certain fish and he will gut them for you.
• He will buy the fish that you trade for a fixed price, as well as give you anything that might be in its stomach.
• As of the November 10th, 2021 Version Update, the chance to receive an item is increased when a bigger fish is traded. Fish size is noted on each fish when looking at it in your inventory.

• Note: After completing the quest for the first time, you no longer need to meet the fishing level requirement to repeat the quest.
