Ekoby Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Hello, Has anyone had any luck since the fishing rods were removed from the fishing loot table in acquiring any? Which map is the best (if there is one) and what source has been the most successful for people (yellow/red beacons or deep sea loot crates etc)?

fewcm Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Best I've found on the Island is a apprentice BP from a red supply drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girlfriend makes trip to the island sometimes, but our main base is on scorched earth. She has brought back some pretty nice beacon drops from there, having opened lots of red/yellow beacons on scorched earth, the island seems a bit better (maybe she just got lucky). Is your experience that Island beacons are better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewcm Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Really I haven't played much on Scorched earth to be able to compare. Sorry I can't answer that for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a mastercraft blueprint from the swamp cave in the red woods and an actual Mc rod. You get ascendant plus Mc gear from that rod. Effectiveness on the blueprint was 365 and the rod drop was 412. If you do the swamp cave you need a full set of scuba and a high level frog with a good saddle and then you can solo it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jrminot Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I've found a Ramshackle BP in a drop, double yellow I think, on the Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on a very low pop server so I hit quite a few drops, I can attest that the fishing rod BP drops are not common at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm ok, point taken. What are your experiences of the center and scorched earth regarding fishing rod drops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrminot Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I'm primarily a TheIsland player so I can't speak to those maps. I'll let others chime in there. Another estimate, I think I have found 3 fishing rod BPs so far. 2 Primitive and 1 Ramshackle, I believe all of them came from yellow drops for me. I guesstimate that I've opened probably 75-100ish yellow drops on this particular playthrough so that would be roughly 3-4% drop rate on them.

TimeSpiral Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Only Yellow and Red beacons have a fishing rod in their loot table. I think it is also possible for a Mossa to drop one. Ringed-Yellow Drops produce Fishing Rods and Fish Rod Blueprints at the most reliable rate, in my experience on the Center. It is a rare drop, still, but that is your best bet. I don't actually understand fishing though ... I mean, I do, but it doesn't make sense. I will pull up a high-level fish with my MC rod (300%+), with a greater-than-1 size, and like a 4x quality, and no blueprints. I'm pulling up substrate and black pearls and stuff, lol. Really? Then, I'll pull up a .5 with a quality of 2x, and get purple rocket launcher blueprint, yellow Argy saddle bp, etc ... Does anyone actually understand this algorithm? I've never pulled up a red item with a 300% rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah ok, so you got your rods from the center? I'm just trying to see if there is a pattern here and whether I'm wasting my time seeing if I can get one from a beacon on scorched earth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
