Wild, Wild, Wildlife Guide

By Jynn

A guide on how to get the WIld, Wild, Wildlife Guild Card background. This will also get you 4 achievements, and all the placeable pets for you room.

Since I could not find a comprehensive guide online that listed everything possible to get all in one place, I thought I'd compile one myself. Also, it's a lot easier to check a steam guide than to reference 2 or 3 different websites and google worksheets.

Note: Great Fish ARE required for the Guild Background, and will spawn beside the normal fish. (So if there is always 1 Tuna normally in a pond, if a Great Tuna spawns then there will be 2 Tuna instead, with one noticeably larger than the other. Only exception is the Marlin) Also, catching a Great Fish does NOT automatically give you a catch for the normal fish as well, you have to still catch a normal fish. Baitbug will make catching the rare and Great fish a lot easier. Special baits can be bought from Provisions Manager.

Does anybody know if Macrozoologist increases the chance of Greatfish spawning?

Cookieheart 18 Jul, 2022 @ 4:14pm

@Summoner000
I don't believe the El Dorado critters are required and I've been super busy with work but I'll try to find time to add them into this guide :)

Summoner000 18 Jul, 2022 @ 1:14pm

Are the critters from El Dorado required? And will they be added to the guide?

Little_Bear 20 Nov, 2021 @ 5:41pm

WHAT IS THAT FLYING THING IN THE CORAL HILANDS?

O97M/Y2K 14 Jun, 2021 @ 11:36pm

Bristly Crakes also spawn on top of the mantagrells. Quite the suprise when you shoot one down.

Cookieheart 13 Jul, 2020 @ 1:54pm

Some people just have a lot of time on their hands and want to help those who are completionist, such as myself

Yagyu 13 Jul, 2020 @ 1:05pm

I know I've already wasted a bunch of time during hunts for pets but this is a bit overkill...

DevNode 1 Jul, 2020 @ 8:01pm

Bristly Crakes may also appear atop Soldier Helmcrabs, though I've only observed this behavior so far in the Rotted Region of the Guiding Lands. It nonetheless seems reasonable to assume it's possible anywhere Soldier Helmcrabs can spawn.

Cookieheart 2 May, 2020 @ 12:58pm

All done ;)

might be easier to just make one for Iceborne, since all the work is already done for vanilla game
