When the Ancient Aisle update was rolled out for Fisch, a slew of exciting new features were introduced, among them the intriguing concept of crafting. This fresh addition allows players to create Fishing Rods using various materials, sometimes requiring rare finds that can be a bit tricky to locate. In this guide, I’ll walk you through how to snag Driftwood in Fisch, an essential resource for your crafting endeavors.
Now, while Driftwood might not hold much intrinsic value on its own in the Roblox universe, it’s indispensable for those crafting recipes that demand mutated versions like the elusive Lunar. Thankfully, with the handy Appraiser NPC, even the most basic piece of Driftwood can be upgraded with a mutation, making it far more useful.
Let’s dive into where exactly you can find Driftwood in Fisch. Despite its “Trash” label in terms of rarity, suggesting it should be relatively easy to catch, there’s a bit more finesse involved. You’ll need to adopt some less-than-conventional fishing tactics or perhaps employ Crab Cages to effectively gather Driftwood in the game.
To catch Driftwood with a fishing rod, it’s interesting to note that even the average rods tend to enhance your luck significantly. This means that fishing in areas sparse with fish will still rarely result in catching Driftwood, unless you deliberately decrease your stats. That’s why I recommend opting for the Training Rod, which offers a substantial luck reduction of 70%. Pair it with either Magnet or Rapid Catchers as bait—the latter won’t affect your luck but will speed up your lure. One ideal spot to fish under these conditions is the Moosewood pier, close to the Shipwright NPC.
Casting your line aimlessly is another secret trick, minimizing the odds of making a good catch, which ironically boosts your chances of landing Driftwood. Patience is key here; despite its low rarity, Driftwood is surprisingly elusive, particularly for seasoned players.
Now, if you’re looking for an easier method, Crab Cages might be your best bet. There’s no need to spend ages fishing with these; simply buy a few Crab Cages—they’re a steal at just 45 Tokens each, readily available from almost any Merchant. However, pick your spots wisely. Success comes from choosing locations with minimal fish presence, a task made simpler with a Fish Radar. On average, you can expect to snag one piece of Driftwood for every 20 Crab Cages you deploy in the right spots.
These strategies should set you on the path to collecting as much Driftwood as you need in Fisch, whether you’re going the traditional rod route or embracing the efficiency of Crab Cages. Happy fishing!
