Shrimp Catcher is a secondary tutorial quest meant to teach you the basics of the Fishing skill.
Overview
Walkthrough
To start this quest, create a Dragonwilds:Coarse Net at the Crafting Table. This will trigger the quest for you to speak to the Wise Old Man in Bramblemead Valley. Speak to him and choose option 2. This will make him remark about how you made yourself a very useful tool (remarking about the net) and remember in his very distant youth about spending countless hours catching something in a local pond with a net and how the owners weren't happy. He then says about how you can find yourself a nice spot to relax and wile away the dull hours of daylight between adventures and to challenge yourself to finding that single pristine fish. He continues about how he hadn't eaten a good fish in ages and asks you to catch him a sardine in the Brynmoor waters, but tells you that you'd need to use a Fishing Rod to catch one and crafting bait to aid you. (this will give you a small quest objective to catch a sardine)
He then begins to tell you that you can boil, roast, stew, and make a lot of delicious meals out of them. He also says that if you find really nice ones, you can put them on display. after this, you will be presented with four options to discuss about fishing.
Gone Fishin!
In order to get to the sardines, you will need to get some Fishing levels. Use your net on Net Fishing Spots to capture Dragonwilds:Raw Shrimp and you'll unlock Dragonwilds:Shrimp Bait. Keep capturing Shrimp using your net until you reach Level 3 where you'll unlock the ability to create Fishing Rods. Go to your Crafting Table and use 1 Ash Log and 1 Dragonwilds:Coarse Thread to make an Ash Rod then, with the shrimp you've caught, create some shrimp bait (each shrimp gives 1 bait).
Once you have your fishing rod and bait, head to a nearby Dragonwilds:Rod Fishing Spot and fish there.
Note: Fishing will consume your stamina rapidly. If you do not reel in your fish quickly before depleting your stamina, your fish will escape.
Once you have caught your sardine, head back to the Wise Old Man.
Back to the grind!
Bringing the sardine you've caught back to him, the Wise Old Man will remark how you've caught a wonderful delicious sardine and how it brings back old memories. Before cooking the sardine like how his grampa used to, he rewards you for a job well done.
Congratulations! Quest complete!
