Countdown to Fish It Diamond Rod Update
The countdown is on! You’ve got just a short wait until the Diamond Rod update drops in Fish It. Here is the countdown for the event:
What to Expect
This is not a regular update. The developers are sharing on Discord that they are going to throw in Christmas cave time buffs, brand new quests to complete, and a special 3-hour MEGA luck event that’ll help you earn some rare catches. Here is the list of what to expect from the update:
- Diamond Rod – This new fishing rod will likely be one of the best rods in the game.
- Christmas Cave Time Buff – Even though the holidays are over, you’re still getting special time bonuses for the Christmas cave area.
- New Quests – Fresh tasks to complete that’ll keep you busy throughout the event. These quests will probably reward you with coins, or maybe even special items you can’t get anywhere else.
- 3-Hour MEGA Luck Event – MEGA luck means your chances of catching rare fish shoot way up.
This will start right when the update goes live, so you’d better check the countdown above and join the game as fast as possible. Stock up on bobbers if you need to and clear some space in your inventory, because you might need that space for new fish!
