Fisherman SageThe Angler Life requires one thing above all others, even more than a fishing rod. And that's patience, my friend. We wait for a fish to take the bait...and then we wait some more.

Fisherman SageSo much of the Angler Life is spent waiting for a fish to bite—it's like sleeping away the day!

Fisherman SageExplore Reveria and seek out all its fishing spots, my student. Oh, and Reveria's cats too. Cats seem to think about nothing else but what fish are in the local waters. Be sure to speak with them.

Fisherman SageI haven't had a student like you in a long time. You've got a real knack for angling.

Fisherman SageYou have such promise as an Angler, so test your skills all over Reveria. The joy of being an Angler is chatting with people everywhere—fishing for friends, you could say. Now, I trust you know what Stats are key for an Angler? Yes, Dexterity and Intelligence. But most of all? It's Focus. It takes razor-sharp wits to sense how to pull a fish from the water! Now go. Explore Reveria!

Fisherman SageThe Stats for an Angler? Focus, first and foremost, followed by Dexterity and Intelligence!

Fisherman SageHave you come across huge fish in rivers or ponds? I don't mean just the shapes you see underwater. I mean HUGE fish, those whose fins break the water. You can sometimes see them in the Elderwood. We generally call those sorts of fish Lordfish, and though there are different types... and they have different names, they are all truly the lords of all fishes found in a certain area. They're very difficult to pull in, but you can do it if you steady your rod and pull them in carefully. If you do catch one, haul it to a Bounty Clerk—one of the great rewards of being an Angler! These fish rarely appear, so keep returning to fishing spots all over the world—maybe you'll see one!

Fisherman SageThe Forest Lordfish appears in the Elderwood, at least, once in a while. It appears VERY rarely. You'll face quite a struggle landing one of those Lordfish. If you do, take it to a Bounty Clerk!

Fisherman SageOne of the best things about being an Angler is meeting others who love fishing. It almost goes without saying how much we all find it fascinating—and so tranquil.

Fisherman SageI think you're ready for a technique that I devised myself after decades of trial and error. I like to call it Midair Rod Fishing—a very ferocious move that helps reel in the strongest fish. Ha! I remember the first time I used it against a Swordfish, one of the titans of the sea!

Fisherman SageThe Midair Rod Fishing technique is very fierce, requiring a lot of effort. So save it for your biggest catches! Although, I guess, you really could use it to wallop any fish.

Fisherman SageIsaac's parents were enthusiastic adventurers. Long ago, they set off to find a legendary Lordfish. Specifically, the Coldwater Tuna. They set off for Mount Snowpeak...and never came back. Maybe you can catch it. It will take all your strength and angling skills to haul it out of the water. You'll have to bide your time when it's on the line, but I know you can wrestle it out of the depths!

Fisherman SageI've been guiding Isaac through the Angler Life, but truth be told, he does well all on his own. He even built this house here from all the Dosh he's made from fishing! Can you believe it?

Fisherman SageI was supposed to be taking care of Isaac. But...ha! It seems like he's the one taking care of me!

Fisherman SageLook at you—my student, a Master already! With all the skills you know, no fish can resist you. Ha, well...that's not quite true, I guess. Fishing is always full of uncertainty. That's the fun of it. But here's something certain—I've got a gift for you. It's a present for becoming a Master!

Fisherman SageNow that you know more Special Skills, you'll have greater success at landing even tougher fish. But you know, no matter how much we rank up, the fish sometimes outsmart us anyway. Ha!

Fisherman SageThis, my student, will be the last challenge you get from me, and it will take you to Terra Nimbus. Oh, yes. What a place to fish! Where the fishing holes are in the clouds themselves. You must travel there, drop your line, and catch a Lordfish I've always dreamed of seeing. Perhaps with your skill, you can. It's known as the High-Flying Fish. I truly hope you can catch it!

Fisherman SageI hope you can catch the fish of my dreams. Just imagine—the High-Flying Fish of Terra Nimbus!

Fisherman SageBy all the fish in Reveria—you're a Legendary Angler now! What a lucky Life I lead... having my student traveling the world and my grandson Isaac here to keep me company. I think of you both also as friends and colleagues in the Angler Life, however. Couldn't be happier!

Fisherman SageHow does it feel, being a Legendary Angler? But you know, no matter how good we get, the fish always keep us on our toes, don't they? Can we ever perfect the sense of calm needed to deal with such slippery devils? Ha! We can try!

Fisherman SageIt's good you've come, [Player]. There's something I need to tell you. My great-grandfather told me long ago that Legend is not the top rank for Anglers. But what more is there? Sadly, I can't remember what he said the rank was called. Carp-eator? No, that can't be right. I have such leaky memories these days!

Fisherman SageWhat? You know about it already? So you say it's called the Creator rank. I wasn't far off. But I'll admit that old memory of mine pretty much slipped the hook, didn't it... You know so much about the Angler Life. I'd say you put me to shame, if I wasn't so proud.

Fisherman SageSo you've ranked up to Carp-eator now! Ha! So what my great-grandfather said was true! There IS a rank even higher than Legendary Angler. Wait. What now? It's Creator rank? Of course it is. What did I say? Oh, never mind. The important thing is that I'm proud of you. Oh! And here's a gift to celebrate!

Fisherman SageFrankly, I really don't know diddly-squat about the Creator rank. Fishing is fishing, right? No matter what rank we are, no matter where we fish or what we catch...we're all still Anglers. We have our place together, under the sky, above the water, united in our love for fishing.

Fisherman SageYou've been busy fishing! Let's take a look at what you've done.

Fisherman SageI don't believe you've completed any more fishing challenges. But tell me when you do!

Fisherman SageWell now, look at that—Apprentice rank! I bet you're hungry for more challenges... more than our local fish can satisfy. So set your sights on Port Puerto. The fishing there is excellent.

Fisherman SageWhy, you've grown into an Adept already? It's really no surprise—not with your skill. I bet you supply most of our local fish. Everyone should be glad you're this good!

Fisherman SageIncredible! You've ranked up to an Expert. You must be enjoying the Angler Life. It's so relaxing, isn't it? And yet it's perfect for discovering who you truly are. I suppose because we Anglers spend so much time simply standing around waiting for a fish to bite!

Fisherman SageYou've made me proud, growing into a Master Angler. I always knew this day would come. But—ha! You'll have to fish as long as I have to master the art of gabbing about the Angler Life! Come on—let's celebrate. It isn't every day one of my students becomes a Master!

Fisherman SageBy all the gills in the sea! You've reached the Hero rank as an Angler? You've seen so many wonders in the waters of Reveria...I can only imagine what's next. Actually, come to think of it, I do know. Speak with King Erik at once. He'll want to learn about this. Oh, I couldn't be any prouder. Or could I? I suspect you'll impress me again soon enough, Hero!

Fisherman SageBy all the fins in the infinite seas! You've reached the Legend rank as an Angler. Ha! Won't the Anglers of Port Puerto be surprised to learn there's a Legendary Angler from Castele. And just when Reveria almost forgets about this old man, you come along to be my student. Now my time with you is almost done. What you must do now is tell King Erik you're a Legend. You'll have to forgive me if I don't have the strength to go with you. But do go to the king, my Legendary Angler...pride of Castele. No! Pride of ALL Reveria!

Fisherman SageYou're still a Fledgling for now, my student. But if you keep fishing, you'll rank up soon!

Fisherman SageYou remain an Apprentice, my student. But I bet you'll fish a new rank out of the water soon!

Fisherman SageStill an Adept, my student. But I bet it'll take only a few more fishing expeditions until you rank up!

Fisherman SageYou're still an Expert Angler for now. But surely you'll fish your way to a new rank soon!

Fisherman SageYou're still a Master for now, but I'm sure you'll haul up a new rank if you keep fishing so well.

Fisherman SageYou remain a Hero Angler, my student. I hope you've told the king of your Hero rank. If not, you should!

Fisherman SageStill a Legendary Angler, my friend—though that's a whale of a rank. I hope you told the king? If not, tell him right away. He'll want to know of your Legend-ness. It'll be the talk of the town!

Fisherman SageYou remain a Legendary Angler for now, though I'm still impressed by all you've done. You've hauled in so many achievements since you started. Did you tell the king you're a Legend now? If you haven't, I'd sail right on over there and tell him right away. You'll be the talk of Castele!

Fisherman SageOut fishing, [Player]? Well then, what can I help you with? [Choice: Report / Chat / Nothing]

Fisherman SageQuiet night, isn't it, [Player]? What can do I for you? [Choice: Report / Chat / Nothing]

Fisherman SageI see you're focusing on a different Life right now. Come back to chat when you're an Angler, OK?

Fisherman SageIt's good you've come, [Player]! I've learned that an elusive, enormous fish has been seen over in Deepsea Cave, near Port Puerto. What fish, you ask? Ha! It's nice I still have something to teach an Angler as advanced as you. It's known as the Poseidon Swordfish, and it's the fear of many a ship captain. We Anglers were once ordered to catch it to make the seas safe for travel—but no one succeeded. Only one Angler ever got close to reeling it in. And that was...me. Yes, I failed to get the job done. But now that it's surfaced again, I think you have an excellent chance of succeeding! Were I a young Angler, I would have rushed out to catch it all by myself. So will you take the bait? If you're interested, feel free to talk to me more about it, my friend.

Fisherman SageShall we talk more of fishing, [Player]? What will it be? [Choice: Special Request / Chat / Nothing]

Fisherman SageAh, you want to try to catch the infamous [Name 2]? [Choice: Yes / Not now]

Fisherman SageI knew you'd bite at this opportunity! Well then, let me tell you where to find that Poseidon Swordfish. It's in Deepsea Cave on Tortuga Archipelago. Approach it with caution, my friend. That beast has sunk many a ship. If you do reel it in, bring it to me at once, all right? Oh, and one more thing. I'd be glad to join you for this fishing expedition. Just imagine, you and I facing my old nemesis! But it's your call, of course.

Fisherman SageWhat? I can't believe it! I was sure you'd be keen to go after such a titanic fish...

Fisherman SageJust look at that majestic horn! How many ships has it scuttled? Oh, yes... that is the Poseidon Swordfish, all right—the terror of the seas!

Fisherman SageOh, right! This is a special occasion that warrants a commemorative gift! I drifted away one time after casting my line, and when I woke up, I found these caught on the hook. You'll probably make better use of them than me. Here, take them! They're yours.

Fisherman SageCome and tell me if you feel like going fishing for the Poseidon Swordfish again. I've got more of those strange golden coins to give you. Ho ho ho!

Fisherman SageThe Poseidon Swordfish is currently out in Deepsea Cave on Tortuga Archipelago. Catch it and bring it to me...if you can. Ha! That should be quite a fishing expedition!

Fisherman SageWhat is it? Want to quit the special fishing mission? [Choice: Yes / No]

Fisherman SageYou have caught fish in the seas, rivers, desert sands, hot lava, and even the clouds. You can catch any fish if you keep your calm.

Fisherman SageReally? Was it too hard even for you—an Angler of the Creator rank? Well, if you want to try this challenge again, just let me know. You know where to find me.
