Legendary Fishing Quest Guide - New World

Introduction to New World’s Fishing Quests

Legendary Fishing Poles

There is a long fishing quest line in New World that ends up rewarding you with a Legendary Fishing Pole. In this guide we will walk through every quest required, how to complete it, and where to go. When you have completed all of these quests you will be rewarded with a Legendary Pole Reward Box, which will have one of the following four fishing poles in it.

You will also acquire fishing armor sets along the way through this New World fishing quest guide, which will assist you in catching bigger, and rarer fish. In the tables below we show you the Tier 3, 4, and 5 sets. You do receive some other armor sets before these, but they do not actually give you any fishing perks to help you, so they are not worth mentioning.

Hardy Fisherman’s Set (Tier 3 Fishing Buff Gear)

This Fishing set is rewarded throughout the main fishing quest line. As you complete quests, you will be awarded these pieces. This T3 set has a 300 Gear Score.

Sleek Fisherman’s Set (Tier 4 Fishing Buff Gear)

The Sleek T4 fishing set will also be rewarded during the fishing quest line and has a 400 Gear Score.

Fierce Fisherman’s Set (Tier 5 Fishing Buff Gear)

The T5 Fierce Fishing Set will be awarded near the end of the quest line before you obtain the Legendary Fishing Rod and has a 500 Gear Score.

Catch your 3 within the active hotspot. Make sure you see fish jumping out of the pool of water, this means it is currently active. If neither of these pools are active, try fishing for awhile during the cooldown timer until it becomes active again. Learn more about the cooldown times on our New World fishing hotspot guide.

The higher star fishing hotspot the better, but you still can catch them in the 1-star Broad hotspots.

Once you have caught a treasure chest, head out to Great Cleave to meet with Eberhart Klaus next to his Secret Hotspot. You may choose to head to him right away and hope that this Secret Hotspot is active, and try catching the treasure chest right beside him. Make him envy you as you reel in your big treasure chest!
