Did you get Master Angler?

Nestor · February 2025

As someone who did not fish very much. Well, other than a brief Perfect Roe farm, I did not fish at all. Pan Tamriel got me excited about fishing. Having played since Launch, I had about 25 Trophy Fish total from my previous feeble fishing efforts. And, most of those came from lucky casts, not extended effort. I had exactly 0 Achievements for Fishing outside the Wrothgar Fish that is super easy to get.

With this event, I cleared Master Angler in all zones but Imperial City, but I ignore Imperial City for Reasons. Most zones only took me an Hour, and that was with Treasure Maps and Antiquity Digs thrown in. I had about 200 Treasure Maps stored up. Some zones like Summerset and Hews Bane took a long time due to lack of certain types of Fishing Holes.

Some interesting stats. I caught less than 1500 White Fish to get all the Achievements. ESO Hub states says a Master Angler Run across all zones would net about 5500 White Fish with Artaeum Pickled Fish Bowl, and bit more than 8000 without. This is on top of the Trophy Fish Count. I had about 1500 White Fish during this event. While I had Sharp with me the whole time, I only used the Fish Bowl food for the last half of the zones. The Curated aspect was probably the most beneficial. Not sure what the Event Boost was to catching Trophys in addition to being curated.

Were your results similar?

I had it for some zones or the Master Angler for the OG Zones, but finished up the missing Chapter zones

I did all the base game zones years ago, as well as a handful of DLC zones. I only with help of this event managed to finish all of the DLC ones, including IC.

Danikat · February 2025

None of the poll options really fit me. I'm aware you can fish and that there's achievements for it, but I rarely do it and have absolutely no intention of ever trying to finish any of them because I think it's one of the most boring things I've encountered in a game.

Soarora · February 2025

I had no zones at all and now I am complete

I had a few fish, but I went ahead and grinded out master angler for the dyes. I didn't get all the DLC ones.

DragonRacer · February 2025

Still have Some or a Lot of Zones to Finish

I wish I had about another week of this event because I did get a few zones done, especially Cyrodiil and IC so that the PvP zones got finished, but I split my time across other stuff, too, so no Master Angler this time.

AzuraFan · February 2025

I already had it for every zone

I already had master angler, which covers the base game and Cyrodiil. I also had all the DLC fishing achievements except IC. I did that one during the event.

emilyhyoyeon · February 2025

I got Master Angler 8 years ago, but I don't have all the chapter zones completed, and I didn't work on them because I don't care

TaSheen · February 2025

No exact vote choice for me. I finished Master Angler OG zones in late 2018 on my first two accounts and mid-2023 on my third account, on both PC NA and PC EU. I have fished some in other zones, but only when needing Perfect Roe, and I don't really care if I get the trophy fish in those zones.

I still have one account to get MA on (both PC megaservers), but I had too much else to do just now to mess with it - and I'm not worried about curated fish anyway. I have unlimited time to play so.... And besides, those two mains are still getting to CP160 (well, the PC NA one got there last week, but PC EU needs another 50 CP).

Anyway, once CP 160 and gear is out of the way, I'll see if I feel like fishing!

Elvenheart · February 2025

I had no zones at all and now I am complete

I got it during this event, and I got the Anglers achievements for every zone in the game, including IC. I got somewhere between 1,400-1,500 common fish which ended up giving me 13 Perfect Roe. I did use Artaeum food, the three green CP skills, and Sharp’s perk. I believe I ended up using 8 to 10 servings of the Artaeum food (one of the green CPs extended the buff from 2 hours to 2.5 hours).

It was thanks to curated fishing that I was able to achieve all of this, I never would have probably done it otherwise, especially hearing that without curated fishing it would have taken catching at least 5,500 common fish! 🎣

SeaGtGruff · February 2025

Still have Some or a Lot of Zones to Finish

I was able to complete a few zones, including some where I began with 0 rare fish, but I didn't start fishing early enough and didn't fish frequently enough to complete more than a few zones-- so far, just 3 per server (which doesn't include the starter zones, which I completed long ago).

Fishing is a relaxing way to spend some time in the game, but there are so many other activities I enjoy doing that I can't see myself spending a lot of time fishing.

I do feel like I'd probably have been better off fishing a little bit in each zone rather than trying to finish one zone before going to the next, because fishing for several hours in a single zone trying to catch those last few rare fish was mind-numbingly dull. I should add that I wasn't using any food buffs or CP abilities to improve my chances, and most of the time I was fishing by myself, so that may have been why it was taking so long.

Aliyavana · February 2025

i earned the original master angler before the rng helpers existed. i remember them taking hours upon hours to earn. During this event i finished up my missing ones, which were high isle, galen, necrom, and west weald and they were all relatively fast with the fishing food, sharp, and the curated drop rates

at this point, we need a grand master fishing title

kargen27 · February 2025

I already had it for every zone

With all new content the first thing I do is fish. That way I get to take my time just wandering around the zone and when it is time to start questing all the players rushing around to get everything done NOW have moved on.

AcadianPaladin · February 2025

My elf only fishes to support the rations she crafts and to get the occasional perfect roe. So she drops a line each day and pulls three fish that she can cook. Getting trophy fish simply irritates her since she can't cook with them. And she's never been able to get her head around the idea of eating fish from 'foul' water so she's never dropped a line in foul waters.

We have no idea what her fishing achievements look like except to be sure she has never caught a foul water fish.

spartaxoxo · February 2025

I had it for some zones or the Master Angler for the OG Zones, but finished up the missing Chapter zones

I already had Deadlands for the sulfur pool and some of the base game zones. Now I have all of it.

Orbital78 · February 2025

I already had it for every zone

I did it a long time ago, but I did do every other DLC zone including Imperial City

theskymoves · February 2025

I already had it for every zone

I already had every zone done... base game + Cyrodiil/IC took months of nothing but fishing, back in the day.

Congrats to all who avoided that pain.

Finished West Weald which was the last one I was missing.

Desiato · February 2025

I despise fishing in ESO. I don't see the appeal at all. It is the activity in the game that is most boring to me.

I get other fishing games because there's actual gameplay. But not here.

metheglyn · February 2025

I had it for some zones or the Master Angler for the OG Zones, but finished up the missing Chapter zones

I'd already done original master angler from the base game, and Vvardenfell and Craglorn were complete. I used the event to get all the other DLCs, and it was quite fun for a fishing adventure. I didn't track the amount of fish I got. The only place I didn't do and will never do is Imperial City, because I just don't want to.

ESO_player123 · February 2025

I had Master Angler for every zone but the Imperial City. I left it for last for obvious reasons. I started on it, but once I heard about curated fish during the Pan Tamriel, I stopped and waited for the event. So, now I have it in every zone.

katanagirl1 · February 2025

I already had it for every zone

I got the base game and current DLCs/chapters back when the Arteaum food came out and have kept up with the zones since then. There was never any way I would have got it old style, hardcore so I wouldn’t ever use the title. It is nice to have though, because it was still a lot of work.

AlienatedGoat · February 2025

You can Fish in ESO?

Real answer, yes I got Master Angler. However, it was not enjoyable

I may do that with the next zone. At least with the food and Sharp it could be productive.

LadyLethalla · February 2025

I've completed 6 DLC zones in the last week, a couple of which I had already partly done. Now just need to catch 4 Lake fish in West Weald and I'm up to date. Certainly appreciate this event has included the curated fish!

blktauna · February 2025

Still have Some or a Lot of Zones to Finish

I didn't generally fish but this even was kind of a kickstarter for me.

I made a point to fish when I saw an active point no matter what else I was doing and I've made decent progress. I finished all of the Dominion and several DLC zones. I didn't grok you got colours for the achievements so yay. Will continue.

WhiteCoatSyndrome · February 2025

I had it for some zones or the Master Angler for the OG Zones, but finished up the missing Chapter zones

I had Dominion Fisher and a few other zones (Craglorn, Deadlands, a few scattered in the other two Alliances) prior to the event. Now I have everything. My only regret is that I didn’t also get more of my Treasure Maps cleared out.

MasterSpatula · February 2025

I already had it for every zone

One of my characters has flown the title since 2017. I'm probably going to pick a new title for him, since it really doesn't mean anything anymore, but I'm happy for everyone who finally knocked it out.

About the same opinion for me

I don''t fish

I was missing Galen, High Isle and Imp City.

joergino · February 2025

Apart from the Wrothgar one, I got all. One foul fish simply isn't dropping.
