*Level 78 Fishing is required in order to get the Serpent Rumors key item, so that is the absolute minimum level required to begin this quest; however, fishers lower than level 90 fishing will have a very difficult time reeling in the fish necessary for the quest. Close to level 100 fishing is highly recommended.

Suggested a skill level of 74+ for a better success rate. Please also be aware that you will lose your rod if you are repairing it when the Ferry docks, if a monster attacks you, or if someone casts a spell or song on you during your synth.

Irmilant: Things of substance will inevitably be destroyed.

There comes a time when even the most resilient spirit will be broken...

Irmilant: Hmmm...

So, you have heard the Serpent Rumors.

Irmilant: There is more to the rumor than you know.

The branch and the thread that those monstrosities have swallowed are the base materials for a legendary fishing rod.

Irmilant: Should you manage to obtain those materials, bring them here to me.

I am the only one left alive who can craft the rod of legend.
