They say your game isn’t good unless it has a fishing mini-game. New World joins the pantheon with its Fish Reagents quest. This is the first time that you will be able to find Hooked Squid.
After receiving the quest from Park Jennet in Brightwood you will be prompted to collect Squid Ink and Catfish Whisper and bring them to Master Fisher Argarwhal in Weaver’s Fen. These materials can be obtained by catching Hooked Squid and Barbed Catfish. It is worth noting that this is the 7th quest in the Fishing With Shields quest arc.
Easily enough, you can fish for the Squid and Catfish at the lake directly behind Park. You’ll need a rod, which you can either craft or buy. The better quality of the rod, the higher chance you have at catching fish. While you have a plethora of choices on what bait to use, Firefly bait or Woodlouse should do you well.
Additionally, you can acquire Hooked Squid from any of the lakes in Greyvale if you find yourself questing elsewhere and want to kill two birds with one stone. With a lake directly behind Park, though, it might serve you to gather your rod and bait before starting the quest so that you can find your fish fast and then make your way to Weaver’s Fen.
Upon completing the quest you will be rewarded with 2,120 XP, 113.75 coin, 20 Territory Standing, 20 Azoth, and a Fishing Reward Box 1.
