Northern Expedition Rod Guide: Collect Them All!

Fisch's Northern Expedition Rods: A Complete Guide

Fisch boasts a vast array of fishing rods, constantly expanding with each update. The Northern Expedition update introduced six powerful new rods. This guide details how to acquire each one.

The Northern Expedition area presents a unique challenge: scaling a treacherous mountain. Survival requires an Oxygen Tank and regular warming by fire. But the rewards are worth the effort, including six exceptional fishing rods.

All Northern Expedition Rods

Conquering the Northern Summit requires resourcefulness. Six rods await discovery, ranging from readily available to those requiring complex quests.

1. Arctic Rod
2. Crystalized Rod
3. Ice Warpers Rod
4. Avalanche Rod
5. Summit Rod
6. Heaven's Rod

Some offer excellent stats at a reasonable price, while others, like the top-tier rod, demand significant effort.
