Fisch's Northern Expedition Rods: A Complete Guide
Fisch constantly expands its impressive rod collection, with the Northern Expedition update adding six powerful new fishing tools. This guide details how to acquire each one. The Northern Expedition introduces a challenging climb up a treacherous mountain, requiring an Oxygen Tank and regular warming to survive the harsh conditions. But the rewards are well worth the effort!
All Northern Expedition Rods:
- Arctic Rod
- Crystalized Rod
- Ice Warpers Rod
- Avalanche Rod
- Summit Rod
- Heaven's Rod
Some rods offer great stats at affordable prices, while others, like the top-of-the-mountain find, demand significant effort. Let's explore how to obtain each:
1. Acquiring the Arctic Rod:
Located at the Northern Summit's base camp, the Arctic Rod is a readily available purchase at 25,000C$. Its stats are surprisingly strong for its price:

- Max Kg: 80,000kg
2. Obtaining the Crystalized Rod:
This rod requires a short quest. First, catch two Glass Diamonds (found in Frigid Cavern or Overgrowth Caves). Then, find a fellow player and head to the ruins between the second and third camps.
