In the immersive world of LEGO Fortnite, the recent "Gone Fishin'" update introduces an exciting element to the game: fishing. But before you can start reeling in those legendary fish, you'll need to craft a fishing rod. Here's a comprehensive guide to crafting your very own fishing rod, tailored to your adventure needs.

How to Craft a Fishing Rod in LEGO Fortnite

Fishing rods come in four rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Epic. The rarity of your fishing rod influences your success rate in catching fish. Higher rarity rods increase your chances of catching fish but are more complex to craft.

The first step in crafting any fishing rod is to gather the necessary materials. Each rarity level requires different materials, which can be found throughout the LEGO Fortnite world. Here’s what you need for each type:

  • Common Fishing Rod
    • Wooden Rod (1), Wolf Claw (1), Cord (2)
  • Uncommon Fishing Rod
    • Knotroot Rod (2), Silk Thread (1), Cord (3), Wolf Claw (3)
  • Rare Fishing Rod
    • Flexwood Rod (3), Wool Thread (2), Drawstring (1), Sand Claw (3)
  • Epic Fishing Rod
    • Frostpine Rod (4), Arctic Claw (3), Drawstring (2), Heavy Wool Thread (3)

Once you have the required materials, head to the crafting bench corresponding to your fishing rod's rarity. The crafting process is simple: select the fishing rod recipe from the menu and craft it using the materials in your inventory.

  • Explore for Materials: The materials needed for higher rarity fishing rods can often be found in specific biomes or as rewards for completing challenges.
  • Upgrade Your Crafting Bench: As you progress in the game, ensure your crafting bench is upgraded to unlock the ability to craft higher rarity fishing rods.
  • Inventory Management: Keep an eye on your inventory to ensure you have the necessary materials when you're ready to craft.

With your newly crafted fishing rod, you can catch a variety of fish, each with unique benefits. The type of fish you can catch depends on the biome, weather, and time of day, adding a layer of strategy to your fishing endeavors. This is a list of all the fish you can catch:

  • Blue Flopper
  • Blue Small Fry
  • Green Flopper
  • Orange Flopper
  • Black and Blue Shield Fish
  • Cuddle Jellyfish
  • Purple Thermal Fish
  • Raven Thermal Fish
  • Silver Thermal Fish
  • Slurp Jellyfish
  • Blue Slurpfish
  • Purple Slurpfish
  • Yellow Slurpfish
  • Molten Spicy Fish
  • Vendetta Flopper

Crafting a fishing rod in LEGO Fortnite is more than just a step towards catching fish; it's a gateway to exploring new aspects of the game, from gathering materials to discovering new biomes. Whether you aim for a Common or an Epic fishing rod, each catch promises new adventures and rewards.

So, grab your materials, head to the nearest crafting bench, and start your journey to becoming a master angler in LEGO Fortnite.
