Where To Get A Fishing Rod

Discover where to get your first fishing rod in No Rest for the Wicked. Learn about loot locations and buying from Fillmore in The Shallows.

Alright, so you're looking to snag yourself a fishing rod in No Rest for the Wicked? Smart move! It's one of the essential tools you'll need to gather resources. Don't worry, it's pretty straightforward to find early on.

Your best bet is to check out The Shallows, the very first area you'll explore. You can find a fishing rod either sitting out in the environment or inside chests. Keep your eyes peeled, as the exact location can be a bit randomized – that's just how loot works in this game!

If you're having trouble finding one out in the wild, there's a backup plan. You can buy a fishing rod from Fillmore, who hangs out in the Mess Hall, also located in The Shallows. He's a friendly merchant who might even travel with you to Sacrament, so if you're heading there, he might be gone by the time you arrive. But hey, you should ideally have your rod by then anyway.

Once you've got your rod, just head to any body of water – a pool, a river, whatever looks fishy – and you'll get a prompt to start fishing. You can catch one fish per spot, and they'll eventually respawn after some time passes or if you visit another area and come back. Happy fishing!
