Do angler quest's start over when he dies?

I want to get the golden fishing rod. The wiki says I need to complete 50 quests.

Does your progress end when the angler dies, or does it carry on with the amount of quests you completed with the previous angler?

Best Answer

The Angler quests progress by a counter attached to your player data, not based on the actual Angler person. I have jumped worlds and completed quests in multiple worlds on the same character to advance my quest queue.

From the wiki:The Angler - Notes...(second to last note)

The Quest completed count is character specific, meaning you are able to accrue the number of quests required for an item given as a reward, from completing them on multiple worlds.

So if the Angler dies, your progress is still valid and will continue when the next Angler shows up.

What happens if Angler dies?

If the Angler is killed after being saved, and there is no suitable house for him to live in, he will settle in as soon as one becomes free, like any other NPC. If the Angler is killed, the game does not know whether to spawn him in a house or respawn him on the beach, so it does both.

Do Angler quests carry over worlds Terraria?

Yes and no; your quest count does, but some rewards can only be acquired in hard mode. The amount of Angler "quests" completed are stored on the character. For the sake of the achievements, they simply count up whenever you get a quest reward from the Angler regardless of which world and which character you do it with.

How long does it take to do 200 Angler quests?

If you only have one character and one world without the Enchanted Sundial, you would need 200 full in-game days with one quest a day - which is 24*200 = 4800 minutes. That's 80 hours in real time.

How often can you do Angler quests?

Only one Angler quest can be completed per Terraria day; a new quest is given each dawn (4:30 AM).
