How to get a fishing rod in Rune Slayer

Purchase a Wood Fishing Rod from Simon (Image via Roblox)

In this Roblox title, you will have to start your journey with a basic Wood Fishing Rod. It is acquired from an NPC called Simon the Fisherman in Wayshire — the starting area. Simon is found near the pond, fishing while standing on a pier. You can interact with him and buy a Wood Fishing Rod for 1 Silver and 25 Copper.

Apart from the fishing rod, Simon also sells regular Worm bait in exchange for 15 Copper. Having this bait equipped while fishing will increase your chances of catching a bigger fish. Also, if you are aware of Mandrakes, the parasites infesting Ali's Farm, you can defeat them to get a bait called the Mandrake Root.

As you progress, you will have an opportunity to get an Iron Fishing Rod. This rod will allow you to catch better fish, even without using a bait. To acquire it, you will have to go to Lakeshire — an area located on the northwestern side of Wayshire. Here, you will find an NPC called Philip the Angler on the pier.

Completing 10 quests given by Philip will unlock the Iron Fishing Rod for you. All of his quests revolve around catching a fish, so make sure you have acquired the Wood Fishing Rod beforehand.
