How to Get No-Life Rod
The No-Life Rod is obtained automatically when you reach Level 500 in Fisch. Here’s how to get it:
Reach Level 500
You need a total of 23,750,000 XP to reach Level 500. Once you hit this level, the No-Life Rod will appear in your equipment bag for free automatically. You don’t need to buy it or complete any special quests – it’s just given to you. When you reach Level 500, you’ll see a message: “An evil presence unlike any other lurks within you..”
How to Level Up Faster:
- Fish consistently and catch as many fish as possible
- Catch rare and valuable fish for more XP
- Complete quests and challenges that give XP rewards
- Use bait like Worm or Seaweed for faster catches
Reaching Level 500 takes a lot of time and grinding. Most players need dozens or even hundreds of hours of fishing to get there, so be prepared for a long grind.
No-Life Rod Passive Abilities
Passive 1: Stab Ability
The No-Life Rod has a 25% chance per fish movement to stab the fish for +2% progress. This works like the Trident Rod or Katana Rod’s stabbing mechanic. When it activates:
- The fish is briefly stunned
- Your progress bar advances by 2%
- The stab ignores any reductions in progress speed
This passive makes catching fish faster and easier, especially difficult fish with negative progress speed modifiers.
Passive 2: Hexed Mutation
The No-Life Rod has a 50% chance to catch fish with the Hexed mutation, which increases the fish’s sell value by 1.5×. This essentially gives you a 50% money boost on half your catches, making the rod excellent for grinding coins.
Best Enchants for No-Life Rod
The No-Life Rod already has great base stats, so enchants should maximize its strengths.
- Hasty (+55% Lure Speed) – Brings lure speed to 145%, making catches nearly instant.
- Divine (+45% Luck, +20% Resilience, +20% Lure Speed) – Boosts luck to 150% and improves other stats.
- Steady (+20% Progress Speed) – Makes catching fish faster, good for grinding.
Is No-Life Rod Worth It?
The No-Life Rod is absolutely worth getting because it’s free and automatically given to you at Level 500. You don’t need to make any investment decisions – if you reach Level 500, you get it. The rod is one of the best in the game with 90% lure speed, 105% luck, 0.23 control (53% bar width), and infinite weight capacity. The two passive abilities make it even better – the 25% stab chance makes catching fish easier, and the 50% Hexed mutation chance essentially gives you a 50% money boost on half your catches.
The No-Life Rod is competitive with other top-tier rods like the Trident Rod, Seraphic Rod, and Rod of the Forgotten Fang. It’s particularly good for grinding money because of the Hexed passive. The high control (0.23) makes it easier to use than rods with negative or very low control. The 90% lure speed means you’ll be hooking fish quickly, and with the right bait or enchants, you can achieve near-instant lure times.
The only “downside” is that you need to reach Level 500 first, which requires 23,750,000 XP and a lot of grinding. But since you’re going to be leveling up anyway by fishing, the No-Life Rod is just a natural reward for playing the game. Once you get it, it becomes one of your main rods for endgame content.
