Question on Master angler achievment

[All talk and no fight]

Hey- just wondering if anyone knows if any of the new fish from 1.5 now count towards the achievment. Want to make sure i get the stardrop by the end of winter year 2 once i catch the legendary winter fish. although i guess i wont be able to if any of the new fish count.
anybody know? thx

I'm pretty sure they do since the cooking, crafting all items and monster hunting do need all the new items added.

Sorry, I can't help you. My fishing level is level one. My main business is agriculture and making friends

They do count

Yeah, just got this achievement and need the fish from Ginger Island to get it

Yeah, they count as long as you actually catch them by fishing. You cannot just use item spawner or similar mod to magic them into existence and expect them to count-they won't. However, you can use the fishing made easy suite mod to make catching them easier and still count towards your total.

Speaking of item spawner, the same rule applies for town/NPC requests on the notice board - like Willy asking for 3 anchovies (or similar), you must catch them not spawn them.

Although, there do seem to be some exceptions - so far IME every request for crafting/building materials (clay, stone, wood, hardwood etc) can be completed using item spawner. Clothing/cooking requests at time of posting are a mixed bag, some work with item spawner, others you will need to craft/cook manually.

Out of curiosity, why wouldn't you be able to get the new fish by the end of year 2? Unless you're like days away, and can't get enough golden walnuts to open the pirate cove, it should be very possible to do (in fact I've done it).

Idunno, I just wanted the stardrop before year 2 ends i guess. Currently summer 9th, just married, did the community centre, and I already have the resources to repair the boat so now I can finally play the new content in the game on the island!

Thanks for the answers btw everybody, I found out myself that I will need those fish since their sillouhettes appear in the collection menu.
