In Mirthwood, the A Fish a Day quest introduces players to the fishing mechanics by tasking them with catching specific fish for Gareth near Greyshore. Here’s a quest guide:

Quest Overview

• Objective: Catch and deliver a Herring, Cod, and Lobster to Gareth.

• Reward: Boiled Lobster Recipe.

Steps to Complete the Quest

1. Initiate the Quest:

   • Travel to Greyshore, located on the northeastern coast.

   • Find Gareth near the docks and speak with him to start the quest.

2. Obtain a Fishing Pole:

   • Ensure you have a fishing pole.

   • If you don't have one, you can purchase a "Pointy Stick" (fishing rod) from the farm southeast of your homestead. Look for a cart with a buy symbol and check under the tools tab.

3. Catch the Required Fish:

   • Equip your fishing pole and head to the coastline south of Greyshore.

   • Look for fishing spots indicated by ripples in the water.

   • Approach a fishing spot and press the primary action button (e.g., M1) to cast your line.

   • When an exclamation mark appears, press the action button again to start reeling in.

   • Keep the cursor within the green region on the circle to fill the meter.

   • When circles close in, try to press the action button when it's around the outer ring of the meter for a boost.

   • The smaller the circle, the rarer the fish.

   • Continue fishing until you've caught:

     • Herring

     • Cod

     • Lobster (may take several attempts due to its rarity)

4. Deliver the Fish to Gareth:

   • After catching each fish, return to Gareth and hand it over to progress the quest.

   • Repeat this process for all three fish.

5. Complete the Quest:

   • Upon delivering all three fish, Gareth will reward you with the Boiled Lobster Recipe.

   • Access your inventory and select the recipe to learn it.

   • You can now prepare Boiled Lobster at a cooking pot.

Tips

• Fishing: Pay attention to the fishing mini-game mechanics to increase your chances of catching the desired fish.

• Persistence: Catching a Lobster may require multiple attempts; don't get discouraged if it takes time.
