5. Essences and Fishing Rods:
   • Unfortunately, you cannot apply any Essences to your Fishing Rod at the Essence Table to enhance durability or other effects.
   • Ensure you keep the necessary materials stocked to craft new Fishing Rods when they break, as repairing them is not an option.

How to Use a Fishing Rod

1. Equip Your Fishing Rod:
   • Head to any body of water, whether it’s an ocean, lake, or river. Equip the Fishing Rod as you would equip any other weapon or tool in the game.
2. Aiming and Casting:
   • Face towards the water’s edge and position yourself where you want to cast your line. Hold down the designated attack button to aim the Fishing Rod in the desired direction. Once you’ve aimed, release the attack button to cast your fishing line into the water.
3. Reeling In Your Catch:
   • Keep a close eye on your fishing line. When a fish bites and begins to pull on your line, hold down the attack button again to start reeling in the fish. Be prepared to adjust the tension on the line to prevent the fish from escaping.
4. Possible Catch Varieties:
   • While fishing, you might not only catch fish but also various non-fish items such as sand shells, food, or wood. Keep an eye out for unexpected catches! Additionally, on rare occasions, you may even reel in a Llama. If you catch one, open it to receive random resources that could prove useful in your adventures.

How to Make Bait Buckets

1. Crafting the Bait Bucket:
   • The Bait Bucket is a handy item crafted from fish that creates a swirling pool of fish in the water, making it easier to catch them. To craft a Bait Bucket, you’ll first need to build a Food Processor.
2. Building a Food Processor:
   • If you’ve already constructed and used a Lumber Mill, you should have the build recipe for the Food Processor in your build menu. Gather the required materials:
     • 8 Plank
     • 7 Bone
     • 3 Wooden Rod
     • 6 Granite
3. Processing Fish:
   • Once you have the Food Processor built, use it to process the fish you catch. This will yield Fish Fillet, a crucial ingredient for crafting the Bait Bucket.
4. Crafting the Bait Bucket:
   • After obtaining Fish Fillet, process it again through the Food Processor to create the Uncommon Bait Bucket. There are four different rarities of Bait Buckets you can craft, each requiring specific ingredients.
5. Crafting Ingredients and Rarities:
   • Here are the crafting requirements for each rarity of Bait Bucket:
     • Common:
       • Equipment: Food Processor
