In the Treasure Island Update, the developers have added two new rods to the base game: Treasure and Merchant rods. Both of these rods are connected to the newly added Treasure Island and can be obtained pretty easily. Still, if you are confused, here is a detailed guide on getting both the rods in the game.
How to get the Merchant Rod in Fisch
The Merchant Rod is available to be sold by the Whale Merchant inside the belly of the Golden Whale. You can find the Golden Whale near the coast of the Isle of the Beginnings in Second Sea after a Tornado. Speak with the Crazy Man and then board the Whale.
Once you are inside the Whale Interior, you can find a Whale Merchant on the right side of the area. Go near him and you can see the Merchant Rod in his store. Pay E$ 20,000 to get the Rod. Sometimes, the Whale Merchant may be sleeping, and in such instances, you cannot purchase anything from them, and you have to revisit when he is awake while traveling between the Isle of Beginnings and Treasure Island.
Merchant Rod Showcase and Stats
- Lure Speed: 75%
- Luck: 60%
- Control: 0.05
- Resilience: 18%
- Max Kg: infinite
- Passive: Provides a 7% Chance for Whirlpool that can give you a random bait.
If you ask me, the Merchant Rod is pretty bad in Fisch and should only be purchased if you are a beginner or a perfectionist collecting all the rods in the game.
How to get the Treasure Rod in Fisch
Indicative of its name, the Treasure Rod is available on the Treasure Island. Right after landing with the help of the Golden Whale, you can find the Treasure Rod on a small wooden pole to the right. Pay E$ 30,000 and the Rod will be all yours. If you are still unclear about the location, you can refer to the above image.
Treasure Rod Showcase and Stats
- Lure Speed: 70%
- Luck: 130%
- Control: 0.12
- Resilience: 5%
- Max Kg: infinite
- Passive: Provides an 8% Chance for Coinfall Event.
The Treasure Rod is an average rod that has decent luck and lure speed. While the stats for fishing are okayish, the main thing that attracts me the most about the Rod is that it provides an 8% Chance for Coinfall Event, where you can amass a lot of coins pretty quickly.
