The world needs you, Adventurer! I, High Sorcerer Baradun have come from the Temple of Kalabor to send you a message and....Wait.....Baelin?.....I thought you were an Adventurer....


Hua ha.


Kia ora and welcome to the quest list for Nice Day for Fishing, the fun and hugely enjoyable first game from Viva La Dirt League, the comedy brains behind Epic NPC Man. As a fan of their work, I really enjoyed the many Easter Eggs and references to their skits, Bealin’s Route and the world of Azerim.

All 112 main quests you’ll play through are listed in order by quest giver and include their completion requirements. The rag tag bunch of quest givers you'll meet along the way are:


The guide is structured around achievements. Complete all quests in a section to unlock its corresponding achievement.

Mid-way through the game you'll start being able to do quests for the Mayor. These don't have any bearing on the main quest and all 20 of these are included in their own section, along with rewards and achievement.

All set? It's time to go fishin'!
