Pondsworth is a fishing village in the Nomad Highlands, lost to the Shroud and held by the Fell. A strange fisher once lived here. Townsfolk say he sold trash and treasures, but rarely any fish. His secret is a cursed fishing rod hidden in a Pondsworth basement. The quest A Cursed Catch follows his trail and rewards that rod.
Where to Find Pondsworth - Map Location

Quests
A Cursed Catch starts with a townsperson's story about the odd fisher of Pondsworth. In the village, a note reveals that the fisher stored a cursed fishing rod in a basement, and the way into the underground has to be found. The reward is the Cursed Fishing Rod. Its own description calls it a doomed rod that is more likely to catch valuables or junk. After the quest, the Hunter can craft more of them.

Enemies
The streets belong to the Fell, the Shroud's own soldiers and beasts. Time inside the Shroud is limited, so the search for the basement should not be slowed by long fights.

Chests
A silver chest sits on a platform above the lava. Reaching it takes careful jumping or a glide, since a fall lands in the lava.
