The Fischmas update adds 20 brand-new NPC quests in the main event area, and while none of them are hidden, the real challenge comes from knowing exactly what items each NPC asks for. This article breaks everything down in a clean, readable way so you can prepare in advance instead of running back and forth wasting time.
If you gather the required items first, finishing all 20 quests becomes smooth and surprisingly fast.
Fischmas NPC Quest Basics
- There are 20 total NPC quests
- All NPCs are located in the main Fischmas area
- No secret or locked NPCs
- NPCs are spread across the left side, right side, and center
- One Elf NPC also gives a quest (not all elves do)
Once you have the correct item, simply talk to the NPC and turn it in.
Complete List of All 20 Fischmas Quest Items
Below is the exact list of items you will need, in quest order. It’s highly recommended to bookmark or copy this list while grinding.
Quest Item Checklist
- Sparkling Tinsel Trout
- Gingerbread Man Fish or Gingerbread-mutated Fish
- Merry Carol Carp
- Mistletoe Minnow
- Shiny Sparkling Ornament Fish
- 15 Snowballs
- Merry Jolly Bait Crate
- Shiny Snowy Present
- Merry Stocking Fish
- Merry Santa Whale Shark
- Shiny Northstar Whale
- Gingerbread Fruitcake Flounder
- Sparkling Bellfin
- Peppermint Pike
- Fresh Hot Cocoa
- Glass of Eggnog
- Shiny Reindeer Ray
- Merry Wreath Ray
- Shiny Sparkling Bubble Bass
- Elf Eel
That last one trips up a lot of players, so make sure you don’t forget the Elf Eel.
Important Notes About These Quests
- You do not need to complete quests in a specific order
- NPCs will accept items as soon as you have them
- Shiny and Sparkling versions must be exact, normal versions won’t work
- Gingerbread mutation counts where specified
- Drinks like Hot Cocoa and Eggnog are items, not fish
Grinding everything first and then turning quests in back-to-back is the fastest method.
Elf NPC Quest (Easy to Miss)
Not every Elf NPC gives a quest, but one of them does.
- This Elf is sitting separately from the others
- He is still in the main Fischmas area
- Just talk to him once you have the required item
If you skip talking to the elves entirely, you may accidentally miss one quest and wonder why you’re stuck at 19/20.
Best Tips to Finish All 20 Quests Faster
- Farm mutation-based fish using event rods
- Activate buffs like Luck whenever possible
- Focus on Shiny + Sparkling fish early
- Don’t turn items in one by one—batch them
- Double-check spelling and mutation type
Patience matters more than speed here.
What You Get for Completing the Quests
While rewards vary, completing all 20 Fischmas NPC quests contributes to:
- Event progression
- Bells income
- Unlocking additional Fischmas content
- Completion status for serious collectors
If you’re aiming for full Fischmas completion, these quests are not optional.
The Fischmas NPC quests may look intimidating at first, but once you know exactly what items are required, the process becomes straightforward. There are no hidden tricks—just preparation, grinding, and clean turn-ins.
Gather everything first, then walk the area once and finish all 20 quests in one go. That’s the smartest and least frustrating way to do it.
