The Fischgiving event brings a seasonal zone, new collectible items, and a chain of mini-quests scattered across Maple Meadow. Everything in this Fisch Fischgiving Event Update 2025 revolves around exploration, targeted fishing, and returning special event items to the right characters. This guide walks through each part in a clear and detailed way.
1. Pilgrim – Your First Stop
When you join the game, the first new character you’ll meet is Pilgrim.
Pilgrim’s Objective
Pilgrim asks you to bring back a Pilgrim Hat.
This hat is:
- Fished up from the ocean
- Treated like a rare, event-style catch
- Required to unlock Pilgrim’s reward
Once you deliver the Pilgrim Hat, he gives you themed rewards that begin your Fischgiving progression.
2. Maple Meadow – The Seasonal Hub
Straight ahead from the spawn area is the new seasonal location: Maple Meadow.
What Maple Meadow Offers
- A limited-time seasonal zone built specifically for Fischgiving
- Several NPCs scattered around the area
- Each NPC has a unique request involving a specific fish
- Some event-related fish can appear here, including a Maple-themed manta ray
The structure is similar to previous seasonal updates: interact with every character, fulfil their individual requirements, and unlock rewards through short questlines.
3. Event Fish and Special Catches
While the update does not revolve around one single new fish, you’ll encounter:
- A Maple variant Manta Ray
- Various biome-specific species needed for quests
- Event items such as Turkeys
- The Pilgrim Hat
These items appear through normal fishing across their respective biomes.
4. Maple Meadow Questlines – All NPC Requirements
Each character in Maple Meadow needs a very specific fish. Every quest works like a simple trade: catch the required fish, hand it in, and progress your event track.
Here are all characters and their confirmed requirements:
Spirit Godfather Sam
Needs:
- Scalloped Hammerhead
This is typically found in the Reef/Ocean areas.
Tortuga
Needs:
- Tortuga Fish
Completing this quest triggers additional dialogue hinting at a multi-step chain.
Marina Mike
Needs:
- Reef Rock Grand Reef Guardian
A rarer Reef catch that may take some time to secure.
Maple Meadow Collector (Baby Pond Emperor NPC)
Needs:
- Baby Pond Emperor
This continues the theme of requesting fish from all major biomes.
General Quest Structure
- Each NPC asks for exactly one fish per step
- Requirements stretch across Ocean, Reef, Pond, and event areas
- No event currency is used
- Rewards appear to be cosmetic or collectible
- Some quests may chain after the first hand-in
5. Meteor Totem Clarification
One NPC showcases a Meteor Totem, which may appear new at first glance, but it is an existing item already in the game.
It is not exclusive to Fischgiving but is placed in the meadow for quest or decorative purposes.
6. Turkey Collection System
Turkeys are one of the central mechanics in the update.
How Turkeys Work
- They appear as items that can be collected
- Multiple NPCs request different turkey variants
- They function similarly to event fish and can sometimes be caught while fishing
- Each turkey is tied to a specific NPC
One example is the Sunny Turkey, which is turned in during a multi-step quest.
7. Fishing During the Event
Fishing during the event yields:
- Regular biome fish
- Event fish (rare)
- Event items like Turkeys
- The Pilgrim Hat in the ocean
- Occasional rare drops
There is no guaranteed method—everything follows the normal fishing RNG with seasonal items added into the pool.
