Gotcha!

I don't see anyone else posted this, but it's nice to know and I've been using this trick for a while now.
- Still don't have the Angler's items needed to put that awesome Cell Phone together?
- Can't seem to get that elusive Hotline?
- Tired of getting your 14th sponge when you really want an endless water bucket?
Say no more! We're going to milk that Angler from his quest rewards. Milk him dry we will.
What to do:
- Create 10 characters (or more for maximum effect, but I'll be using 10 for this example).
- Start a server with TerrariaServer.exe (Steam\SteamApps\common\Terraria\TerrariaServer.exe) and choose the world you want to fish in.
- Join the world through your IP or your loopback ip address: 127.0.0.1
- Buy a safe (or piggy bank, but I prefer the safe due to easy placement).
- Put the Angler at or near your spawn point for convenience.
- Put a chest near the Angler.
- Get the Angler's quest.
- Go get the fish and when you have it, put it inside your safe on the spot. Then fish 9 more quest fishes for your other characters, each time putting them inside your safe. If you don't put them inside your safe then you won't be able to fish a second quest fish since the game sees you already have one.
- Return to the angler and put all your quest fishes inside the chest you put down near him earlier.
- Now get all your other characters one by one, have them grab a quest fish from the chest and turn them in.
- Rinse and repeat.
Note: You do not need to start a server because the Angler's quest remains the same if you close and reopen a world. But map loading times seem faster to me.
