Detailed Steps

Travel to Roslit Bay: Take a boat from the main hub.
Find the Orc: Head to the massive volcano at the back of the island and enter the cave. The Orc is sitting near the lava.
The Request: He will ask for a “prickly fish” because he is hungry.
Catch Pufferfish: Go to the ocean or coral reef area of Roslit Bay. Use Seaweed or Worm bait. It’s an Uncommon catch.
Claim Reward: Give the Pufferfish to the Orc to receive your rod.

💡 Usage Tips

1. Money Farming Machine

Despite its slow speed, the Ember Mutation passive makes this rod incredible for money farming.

Ember Mutation: Multiplies fish value by 3x.
Works on ANY fish, not just lava fish!

2. Countering the Slow Speed

The -70% Lure Speed is painful. Counter it with:

Steady Enchantment: Reduces wait time.
Swift Enchantment: Increases speed.
Bait: Use high-speed bait like Super Flakes.

3. Lava Fishing

This is your main tool for catching:

Obsidian Salmon
Magma Eel
Magma Shark (Mythic)
