## *"Terraria 1.2.4"*

### Release date

May 8, 2014

The **1.2.4** patch introduced fishing, including Fishing Poles, bait, fish, various crates, tools, weapons, accessories, and junk that can be "caught", the Angler NPC, various fishing gear, fishing quests, and fishing quest rewards. Also, a new boss Duke Fishron and a Pixel Piracy crossover.

At its release, the Nintendo 3DSversion received some (but not all) 1.2.4 content: Minecarts, Fishing (Angler, Fishing Poles, Bait), and Duke Fishron.

## Features and Mechanics

* You can now get quests from the Angler NPC for rewards. Each time you complete a quest, the rewards progressively get better. Quests include catching rare kinds of fish, ranging from places such as floating islands to the Underworld and more.
