While we’ve been using the basic rods available on Fish’s various islands, the developers have released a new crafting feature with the Ancient Islands update. This feature allows you to craft 10 different rods using various craft materials such as gems, driftwood, beads, and others. Of these, magic thread is an item that is required to craft most of the rods in Phish. So, let’s look at all the ways you can get magic thread and use it in the game.
How to get magic thread in fish
The magic thread is mostly found using two simple methods – by fishing and by open the treasure chest In fish.
This item can be caught with a fish at any random moment and is not specific to any area. However, in my experience playing Phish, I would recommend fishing in front of entrance to ancient archives on ancient islands or moosewood docksThese are the places where you are most likely to find magical thread in fish.
Now that we have introduced the magic thread, let’s talk about its two other variations – the Ancient Thread and Moon ThreadThese are rare and can be collected in this manner. The possibilities of obtaining threads through chests are as follows:
- Magic Thread: 16%
- Ancient sutra: 9.5%
- Lunar Thread: 3%
To open a chest, you will need A treasure map in fishThere is a 1/160 chance that you will find a treasure map while fishing, which is the only way to obtain this item. Finally, you can recover this map from Jack Marrow NPC on Forsaken Shores and get the coordinates to a hidden treasure chest.
