After spending some time fishing, I started thinking about what the future holds for Wizard101. Since Fishing is currently only in 4 worlds, I thought that when fishing gets added to the rest of the worlds, that it would be extremely difficult in trying to find all the new species of fish. Therefore, I decided to do a little fishing research by looking up all the possible future locations for fish to live. This post is a potential guide and to-do list for when fishing is released for other worlds.

Dragonspyre

Dragonspyre offers some unique potential. When referring back to KingsIsle’s first release note about fishing, they wrote something to the tune of there’s more than just lakes and rivers in the spiral. So, this got me thinking that perhaps alternative liquids might have fish in them. In Dragonspyre, there just so happens to be an abundance of lava. It is here that I assume unique fish would be found that couldn’t be found all over the rest of the spiral. Here’s a list of all the places in Dragonspyre with lava.

• The Atheneum has a big pond of lava right as you enter it from the portal. Close NPCs include the reagent vendor for DS and Balthazar Dragonthorn.
• The Grand Chasm– This place has a LOT of lava. Unfortunately, the center area doesn’t seem feasible for fishing, but the lava spots on the street may contain fish.
• The Grand Chasm (PAST)- This area presents some opportunity for water fishing in Dragonspyre. While also not feasible, it’s always possible that KingsIsle could place fish in this dungeon. I’d keep an eye out for fish here just in case.
• The Labyrinth– Also a dungeon, this place has some lava in it that could be great for fishing.
• The Crucible– Also has lava on its streets. Good idea to check here for lava fishing.
• The Drake Hatchery– LOTS of lava, especially around the big pit in the middle where you must talk to the Mama Drake.
• The Crystal Grove– Lots of possible lava spots in the street.
• The Forum– Same situation, lots of lava, lots of places, too little time…
• The Great Spyre– Lots of lava, some potential places.
• Plaza of Conquests– Same story. Lava spots on the street. I sense a theme here.

So basically, every place but the Basilica… Great.

Marleybone

It’s a mystery as to why Marleybone didn’t get any fish, however, when looking at all the possible places, there is actually zero places that have a big set of water. There are some fountains in various places around the world, but I’m doubting fish would be placed there. It might be safe to say Marleybone won’t have any fish… Going to leave this blank for now.

Celestia

Celestia is an interesting case. Despite being a completely fish and underwater based world, there are some areas that have potential at holding fish. I’m not going to count underwater locations at this point, since it’s currently not possible to fish underwater, but it might happen (somehow?) in the future.

• Base Camp– Right away, there’s a pond in the middle of the camp with Edith standing in front of it. There’s also some more water beside Avery Templeton. I have no doubt that these ponds will have fish.
• Survey Camp– Some minor water near the entrance to The Grotto, possible fishing there, but otherwise might be a good area to skip.
• Stormriven– Actually has a big body of water next to the weaver creatures. Might be a very good idea to check it out.
• District of the Stars– There’s some non-wadeable ponds right as you enter, along with some water at the Chantry section. Very possible to have fish here.
• The Floating Land– There’s a pond underneath the weird tribute statue right away as you enter, as well as various beaches to fish off of. There’s also ponds near the blimp and the Water Mole tribe. LOTS and LOTS of water.

Khrysalis

Khrysalis has some interesting choices on water, and it will be interesting to see what type of fish can be found here.

• Bastion– Lots of water everywhere, including the spots with Part 1 teleporters and the ponds in front of the Throne Room.
• Fort Rachias– The only place with water is where the 2nd teleporter is (close to Crescent Beach)
• Moon Cliffs– The only possible fishing area here is at the start of the cliffs. There is a stone pier reaching out over the water slightly. Very likely for fish to be placed here.
• Last Wood– There’s only one major watering hole here, and it’s located near the Viridian GreenOak boss (in “Queen Myrtle Town” section)
• Silent Market– The teleporters to the second half of Khrysalis are surrounded by water. This is the only water area in Silent Market.
• Sardonyx– The docks with the submarines are close enough to the water to provide ample space to fish. (The bottom left of the map. Near “The Shrine of Lost Light”)
• Kondha Desert– Despite being a desert, there are two small pools of water. The first is located at the Bastion teleporter in the bottom right section of the map, and the second area is in the stinking bog area, that leads to a boss battle (this area is highly unlikely to be used since there’s almost no position to fish without getting interrupted by the message to join the sigil).
• Crescent Beach– There’s a pier that leads out into the Starfall Sea (there’s a dungeon sigil at the end of this pier), along with various bits of water around Coleridge’s cavern area. Definitely going to be some fish to find here.

 Wysteria

Wysteria is probably one of the most underrated worlds. There is almost no reason to go back after you’ve finished it around level 25 (Tower of Helephant at Level 60 is the only other thing to do). Unfortunately, it seems as though fishing probably won’t be bringing us back to Wysteria.

• Pigswick Academy– Has some minor fountains full of water around the Academy. I doubt these will hold fish though.
• Tanglewood Way– Also has a fountain at the entrance, but I’m still doubtful fish will be here.

Avalon

Though Avalon was a very good storyline world in the Morganthe Arc, it doesn’t seem like it brings much purpose to go back once you’ve finished your spells and completed the world. While the Khrysalis update does bring you back to Avalon for a fancy new spell, fishing proves to be a great potential addition to Avalon, hopefully boosting its popularity (especially with its poisonous water fishing?)

• Caliburn– There’s a big pond of water near the Bane Wyrm’s lair. It’s able to be walked in, so this might be a very nice fishing pond.
• High Road– There is a moat at the end of the Road, which has fast moving water underneath a log bridge to Caer Lyon. It seems a little out of reach and the water seems to be moving too fast, but it’s quite possible for fish to be here.
• Caer Lyon– The fast-moving moat underneath the entrance to “The Wild” is easily accessible. However, the water is moving pretty fast, and a mill water wheel is sort of blocking part of the river. This spot’s questionable.
• Dun Dara– Surprisingly, there’s a pond so deep in the woods. The pond is located next to Melusine the Mer-Fox and (if you’ve completed the quests up to this point), Finn Gingersnap with a Mer-Fox tail. Though the pond isn’t able to be walked into, the fishing lure can reach almost all of the pond. The water is moving pretty slow too. I’d say there’s a high chance of fish being here.
• The Wyrd– The first location of non-water liquids. This area has poisonous liquid all over the place, and it’s possible that fish may be swimming in the poisonous liquid. The first pond is located in the Froudling Village near Eurgh the ogre. The second place is to the far left of Froudling Village in a big lake of poison. The big lake of poison is interesting because, although it’s not able to be walked in, most of the pond isn’t completely accessible. A good angler will be able to manipulate their lure to catch most fish in the area though, as there is a small pillar in the middle of the lake. The poisonous liquid is moving pretty slowly, so there might be some fish in this area.
• Lakeshore– This is probably the biggest body of water that fish will be in. The lake is MASSIVE and includes both water and poisonous liquid. Almost all of the lake is accessible, especially when you quest enough to have the path to Black Annie and Dolorus Tower revealed. As shown in this patch note on the Wizard101 site (https://www.wizard101.com/game/community/update-notes/july2014), the poisonous waters of Avalon are shown with a one-eyed tentacle creature peeking out from the noxious liquid. I’d say this area is guaranteed to have new and bizarre fish living in it. (It’s also worth mentioning that there’s a side branch off of the lake near the two Alphyn statues. There may be fish there as well.)

Wintertusk

Wintertusk is Grizzleheim’s second portion for higher level wizards. The question is, why weren’t fish added to the second half of Grizzleheim? Though much of Wintertusk is covered in ice, there are still some areas that might be suitable for fishing.

• Nordrilund– While there isn’t any water here, there are actually a bunch of magma rivers floating through the map. It’s possible that fish might be floating around in magma. Nobody but KingsIsle knows!
• Hrundle Fjord and Sudrilund– These areas are the main focus of “What If” in Wintertusk. Although I’m highly doubtful, it’s ever possible that Ice Fishing will happen. If that’s the case, both of these areas have frozen-over rivers and lakes that may have fish floating around them. Very unlikely, but still worth noting.

Zafaria

Zafaria is a lovely safari and African themed world. There are plenty of watering holes in Zafaria for wild fish to swim freely. Perhaps fish found here may be a part of the Sun School?

• Baobab Crossroads– The surface of Mirror Lake is extremely big, and is the centerpiece of the Baobab Crossroads. This lake can be walked in, and it has great potential for fishing.
• Savannah– Though highly doubtful, there’s one spot that fishing could take place here. In the poisonous (or purified if you’ve finished quests here) liquid near the bottom of the map. It’s pretty small and it really doesn’t seem like it might hold fish due to its transformation and pivotal position in Savannah’s quest line.
• Zamunda Outskirts– In Zamunda Outskirts, a big river flows through the upper right section of the map. This area is near NPC Greyhorns, with some of them being on separate islands in the middle of the river. It’s quite likely that fish will be in the river due to its large size and fairly easy accessibility.
• Zamunda– Almost missed this very low potential bit of water. In the Sun Garden section of the map with Princess Mandisa and Queen Amahle (and the Star Obelisk), there is a small fountain that contains water. It’s very small and thin, but it might have room for a few fish? On the plus side, if there ARE fish in the fountain, they can all be hit at all times.
• Baobab Market– There are two different spots here. The first spot is in the pond in the actual market itself (it has a waterfall and is located across from Marwa Jadetusk and Nesrine Lightstep (Olyphant vendors). The second area for fishing is the river near the tourist Rose Houghton and Hannibal Onetusk. I’m almost positive that at least one of these places will hold fish.
• Stone Town– While very difficult to access, the river runs through Stone Town as well. There may be hard-to-catch fish placed here if KingsIsle doesn’t care much for easily accessible and catchable fish.
• Darajani Zoo– What’s interesting about this area is that there is some barely noticeable liquids surrounding the creatures’ pens. The distance from the floor to the water seems very large in height, but it’s still possible that some fish may be placed here. There is a combination of water and lava (Firezilla pen) here.
• Waterfront– The same thing applies from Stone Town. The river still flows by this area, and it’s possible that fish can be caught here. Waterfront seems to have more accessibility to the river than Stone Town though.
• Drum Jungle– The river ends here, but there’s still a high possibility of fishing here as most of the coast is accessible and close to water. The coast runs from the bottom of the map to the upper left.
• Elephant Graveyard– Probably the least visited map in Zafaria. This location has a few possible fishing areas. The first being the “Sacred Springs” (to the right section of the map). These are two small pools with health wisps floating around them. The second area is the big ring of water surrounding the tombs. The ring starts where you must place drums for a quest to gain access to Queen Elissa’s Tomb. This ring is very large, but the whole thing can be hit with the magical lure. It might take some moving around, but this area is highly possible to contain some fish in the future.

Azteca

Though Azteca is a dinosaur themed world with many treetop and floating areas, there is actually a lot of water, especially in the jungle themed areas. Azteca shows great promise for fishing.

• The Zocalo– There is some water immediately as you enter the world from the Spiral Door, which is flowing down from the waterfall at the Aztecosaur head. When you turn to face the Aztecosaur head at the top of the hill near the entrance, you’ll notice waterfalls that end up in large ponds. Most of the pond isn’t accessible by fishing lure, but it’s quite possible that fish will be placed here. Alternatively, there is a river that goes through part of the Zocalo (behind Zaylin Reedwalker on your way to Eloise and Zeke). Fishing lures can hit every area in this river.
• Three Points– The same deal with the river applies here. It flows between the three Astral Obelisks. More importantly, there is a bathing pond near Toci Two Face (which you actually must walk into for a quest). This pond is able to be walked in and is large enough to potentially hold a few fish.
• Jura Palace– This area in Three Points has some fountains (which must be turned on to put out the fires for a quest). It’s possible that fish would be in these ponds.
• Cenote– The only place with water is the big lake underneath the Pyramid of White Fire in the middle of the Cenote.
• Mangrove Marsh– Alright, so this is a marsh. There’s so much water here it’s almost impossible to tell where the fish are going to end up. There’s water on the main path, in the village (with Avian Hatchery etc.) and some near the tombs with the Thunder Horn Ghouls.
• Saltmeadow Swamp– Lots of water again. Some immediately around the entrance near Cantares Five Flowers and Jade Wind-Sun. Then there’s some after the Quetzals near Huix Saltwater. THEN there’s small patches of water at the end of the swamp near the Night Weavers and broken stone faces. Finally, there’s some water in the Nesting Grounds near the Snake Bridge. Way too many possible locations for there NOT to be fish here.
• Cloudburst Forest– There are two extremely small patches of water in the two sections with the Obsidian Magic Mirrors. Finally, there is a massive amount of water located at the end of Cloudburst Forest near the Tehuano Spirits.
• Tierra de Brea– At the end of Tierra de Brea, near the entrance to Pitch Black Lake, there is a lot of oil. It’s quite possible that fish will somehow be placed here as there is a LOT of oil and quite a bit of it is accessible.
• Floating Mountains– There’s very shallow water located in different places around the map (literally puddles), and I doubt fish would be placed there. It’s possible that (if my predictions are right about Dragonspyre), magma fishing will be added to the game, then there will be fish in the streams of magma in Isla Del Fuego. They’re thin, but they look like they could hold a few fish.

So that’s the list of possible places (excluding underwater areas) where fishing MAY occur. I’m looking forward to the new expansion. What world are you looking forward to fishing in? And are you disappointed in the lack of fishing for Marleybone?
