12 Best Yoga Pants (November 2026) Detailed Reviews
A shopper stands in a crowded locker room, needing pants that will not roll down during inversions, go sheer in…
To get the Dave Rod in Fisch, reach level 250, climb The Arch at GPS (1078, 306, -124), and complete Dave’s three quests: hand over one Boulder caught in Keeper’s Altar, deliver 250 Rocks, then give him one final Rock. The rod is free, but the Boulder is a 1-in-1,000,000 catch, so pack patience. I’ve laid out every step, the rod’s stats, and whether this secret rod is worth the grind below.

Dave is a boulder-bodied NPC standing on top of The Arch, the giant stone archway northwest of Moosewood, between Mushgrove Swamp and the Statue of Sovereignty. He’s built entirely of grey rocks with a small cairn stacked on his head — impossible to miss. Spawn a boat, sail over, and climb — I recommend a Velocity or Gravity Coil, and starting the parkour from the right side makes the ascent far easier. Interact with him to start the questline. Heads up: below level 250, Dave simply won’t talk to you, so grind XP fast first. Unlike the Minish (Brick Rod) quest, there’s no season or weather gate here — Dave stays put year-round.
The Boulder is a Secret fish from the Keeper’s Altar bestiary with a brutal 1-in-1,000,000 catch rate. Travel to the Statue of Sovereignty, enter the Mines, and fish the Keeper’s Altar pool. There’s no preferred bait, weather, or time — just raw RNG. I rotated high-luck rods like the Onirifalx, Astraeus Serenade, Ruinous Oath, and Wind Elemental to tilt the odds, though the Cinder Block Rod works as a budget pick. Any version works — no mutation needed. Don’t sell the Boulder once you land it; Dave checks your inventory.
Rock is a Trash item you can hook in almost any water, but Sunstone Island, the Mineshaft, and Sanctum give the best returns. My trick: equip a negative-luck rod like the Training Rod with Magnet Bait — it genuinely speeds up trash pulls. Yes, 250 is a slog; budget a few hours.
After the 250, Dave cheekily asks for a single extra Rock. Catch it, hand it in, and the Dave Rod unlocks instantly.
Dave Rod was admin-only before the Tidefall update made it obtainable, and its stats are deliberately absurd:
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Lure Speed | 1e+21% |
| Luck | -1e+21% |
| Control | 0.7 |
| Resilience | -1e+21% |
| Max Kg | Effectively infinite (1e+21 kg) |
| Line Distance | 1,500 m |
| Progress Speed | -51% (forced) |
Its two passives: a 100% chance to reel in Rocks, and a 100% chance to gift your catch to another player in the server. That 0.7 Control gives you a massive white bar, so reeling is effortless — the catch bar just crawls because of the forced -51% progress speed.
Honestly? It’s a collector’s gag rod, not a meta pick. Every fish you land gets gifted away, and the negative Luck makes rare fish nearly impossible. It shines in two niches: farming Rocks fast and handing free fish to friends. If you want grind rewards that actually print value, the Doomsekkar Rod and Boglin Branch Rod are far better uses of your time. If you still want Dave, slap on Swift Might, Twisted, or Sanctified to patch the progress speed. Warning: some older guides still send you to Vertigo for the Boulder — that’s the outdated pre-Tidefall method. And fair play to you: finishing a million-to-one grind is a flex most players never earn.
On top of The Arch at GPS (1078, 306, -124), northwest of Moosewood.
1 in 1,000,000 at Keeper’s Altar. No bait or weather boosts it — only Luck-stacked rods help.
No. It’s quest-only from Dave and can’t be purchased with C$.
The rod forces -51% progress speed. A Swift Might, Twisted, or Sanctified enchant offsets it.
