Wizard101 Fishing Ranks and Badges Guide
From my first few discoveries of new fish, I knew I'd love fishing in Wizard101. Since the first day it opened in the Test Realm, I've been busily fishing away in an attempt to catch everything available to me. Along the way, I've discovered a few very interesting badges.

Guide Inspiration
I've had a number of people asking me how to get certain fishing badges, so with the release of the live realm, I started keeping track and asking a few friends to do the same. I figured that since badges are still a mystery to most and there's no current badge guide out there, that I'd go ahead and compile what I'd uncovered here in this post. Much like my fish guide, I'll update this as new badges are discovered. If you have any badges or know how they're received, please let me know!
In order to more appropriately accommodate the rank badges and experience (XP) amounts, I have updated my fish guide to include the experience amounts for each fish, both for the first catch, and every catch after that. You'll find a link to that guide below. It is currently your only complete option for viewing experience amounts.
Fishing Ranks and Badges
Because a lot of work went into collecting information for providing the badges and requirements themselves, I'll not talk a lot about them other than to say that I know there are more that are yet to be discovered out there, so keep fishing! Here is your guide to the known fishing badges available in-game.
Fishing Rank Badges
These badges are obtained based on your fishing rank, and one will replace the other. You get this badge when you reach the experience amount listed for the level. Note that experience amounts listed are NOT cumulative; that's the amount you need to reach the next level from your current level.

Fishing for Assistance
I'm in need of some help! I know there are other badges out there, and if you have information regarding them, or you hit a rank not yet reached and posted here, please let me know! Thanks for reading and see you in the Spiral! Credits: Thanks to Evan Silver for looking into some badges with me. Huge thanks to Duncan Stormthief for the Drop the Bass and Fish Whisperer badges and info, as well as the Adept Angler info. Thanks to Iridian Willowglen for the Transcendent Angler picture.
You almost sound like an employee of KingsIsle. Thank you for the detailed information.
ReplyDeleteHa! Thanks. I'm certainly no KI employee (or official fansite for that matter), but I'm happy to help.
DeleteI really want to find out how to get the badge: Drop The Bass :P
ReplyDeleteI was wondering about the badge "MASTER ANGLER".
ReplyDeleteThere is a badge with that name already. You earn it by defeating 200 sharks and crabs, maybe a few more. I have it, I earned it in celestia. It will be confusing and frustrating for the ones who earn it fishing, which is the harder way.
Yes, I noticed this. The reason I have Master Angler and Grandmaster Angler up there are because they follow the pattern in terms of what KingsIsle has done in the past with Gardening. However, they have seen that this was conflicting and changed the title. Given that no one has reached the rank yet, we don't know for sure, and I suspect it'll be quite some time before we do.
DeleteHi Swordroll
ReplyDeleteI hit rank 8 and got the adept angler badge a couple days ago. It's not on the guide already, so there are some pictures here:
