Notes
- Despite the Golden Fishing Rod having more fishing power than the Hotline Fishing Hook, it cannot fish in lava.
- The only way to get the Obsidifish and Flarefin Koi is by fishing in lava with a Hotline Fishing Hook, so mass production of Inferno Potions makes the Hotline Fishing Hook integral.
- The Golden Fishing Rod appears visually similar to stardust equipment.
History
- Desktop 1.3.0.1: Golden Fishing Rod only requires 30 completed quests now (instead of 50).
- Desktop 1.2.4.1:
- Fixed a bug where trying to use a Fishing Pole while pulling a snapped line would make the bobber appear again.
- You can now place Fishing Poles in the Weapon Rack.
- Fixed a bug where fishing bobbers would not disappear when you die.
- Desktop 1.2.4: Introduced.
