No. Just gotta stick it out. If you really want to speed it up, use Cheatengine 20x speed to speed up days, so that you can continue quests. Cuts out the slog that is angler quests.
It took me about 60 quests to get the weather radar. So good luck.

if you're just going to cheat, why not just give yourself the cell phone and be done with it?

you really don't see a difference between the two scenarios?

Nope. Do it right, or don't do it at all.

One method bypasses the time limit (allowing more quest attempts faster), one method bypasses the RNG (allowing you to choose your award)? They're both cheats, so what is the difference?

I want to do it legit, not cheating! i just want the chances of getting the item a lil bit higher :/ if i have to do 200 quests then i will, i already have the other cool rewards like the sponge, the bottomless bucket and the golden bug net, it would be cool if the Bucket was empty and the first liquid you put on it becomes like, infinite? srry for my english :P

These two things are mutually exclusive...

Took me well over 200 quests to get my first Weather Radio. That was back when the fishing achievements were broken, too, so I didn't even get credit...

There's nothing you can do aside from grinding quests using multiple characters, maybe using the Enchanted Sundial once a week to skip ahead to the next day.

Alternatively, you can remind game developers that RNG-based rewards are stupid.

Remember, quests are tied to characters, while the availability of quests are tied to the day/night cycle. Get some good fishing gear (Armor, earring, golden pole, UFO, etc.) and just leave it in a chest. Go through wih 10+ different characters and do one quest with each per day. It'll probably take a whole day/night cycle to get through that many anyway, so you can just do quests constantly by switching them off. Put the rewards in another chest.

( Alternatively they could just make them rewards for certain numbers of quests like the fishing armor -_- )

Yo, instead of just being a slave to RNG, just trade your extra sextant for another peice :P That's what I did.

That sounds like you'd be spending more time saving and switching characters than actually fishing...

I actually try to get through the game while I'm waiting. I started fishing the second I got a Fleshcatcher, and as soon as I catch the fish of the day I go back to getting loot, exploring, and/or beating/preparing for bosses. Even now, with only one major boss left (and a few invasion events), I still am setting up an arena and getting the remaining gear between days.

also the sundial you get from fishing can be used once a week, and it really helps too. Though I prefer to skip Eclipses since I already have every single rare drop from them.

That's how I did it too, I just progressed and squeezed in a fishing quest whenever it was avaiable.

But I had to suffer multiple useless items in my inventory if I wanted the data, and I believe I killed the Moon Lord before I ever completed the Cell Phone.

That one quest a day limit is really pointless. You can get around it by wasting 10 seconds of your time switching characters... so why not just remove it entirely? It serves no purpose.
