The Gold Rod is the cornerstone of fishing progression in Blox Fruits Update 27. With persistence, daily quests, and smart farming, you’ll unlock this powerful tool and set yourself up for even greater rewards. Gather your materials, craft your rod, and dive into the exciting new world of fishing.

The Fishing Progression System

Fishing in Blox Fruits isn’t just a side activity—it’s a structured progression system. You begin with the Rusty Rod and work your way up by completing quests for the Angler NPC. Each rod unlocks new opportunities, and the Gold Rod is your next big step forward.

Step-by-Step: How to Get the Gold Rod

Getting the Gold Rod takes some grinding but is well worth the effort. Here’s the full process:

1. Start with the Rusty Rod

If you don’t already have it, speak to the Angler NPC on Sky Island (First Sea) to receive the Rusty Rod. This NPC will guide you through all fishing-related quests and crafting.

2. Complete Angler Quests

To unlock the recipe for the Gold Rod, you’ll need to finish at least 15 Angler quests. These usually involve simple fishing tasks like catching specific types or amounts of fish.

3. Gather the Materials

Once you’ve proven yourself, the Angler will give you the Gold Rod recipe. To craft it, you’ll need:

  • 1,000 Fragments – Earned from raids, quests, or defeating tough NPCs.
  • 5 Vampire Fangs – Dropped by enemies in the Third Sea.
  • 7 Wooden Planks – Common resources dropped by enemies or found in various spots.
  • 1 Meteor – A brand-new item added in Update 27, found in the new area.

4. Craft the Gold Rod

With all materials in hand, return to the Angler NPC. Select the “Craft Gold Rod” option, and it will be added straight to your inventory.

Why the Gold Rod Matters

The Gold Rod isn’t just shiny—it’s powerful. Here’s why it’s a game-changer:

  • Better Rewards: Higher chances of catching rare, valuable fish.
  • Progression Unlock: Needed to craft the Shark Rod and the Treasure Rod, which bring even bigger rewards.
  • Boosted Efficiency: Makes daily quests and treasure hunts faster and more profitable.

Pro Tips for Fishing Success

  • Use the Right Bait: Different bait increases drop rates for specific fish and items—check the Angler’s shop.
  • Do Daily Quests: The Angler resets quests every day, so stay consistent for steady progress.
  • Stay Alert: Fishing can leave you exposed—watch out for PvP ambushes, especially in high-level seas
