You walk into Everturn Forest, see a random NPC standing there in a torn white cloak, and think “this guy definitely has something important.” Turns out — yeah, he does. But the game doesn’t really explain it properly, which is why a lot of players just walk past him without realizing there’s actually a rod tied to this.
Let’s go through exactly how to get the Splitbranch Twig rod, step by step, without confusion.
Where to Start (Finding the Right NPC)
Everything begins with Theor Vinewood, the NPC you’ll find inside Everturn Forest.
You honestly can’t miss him:
- Wearing a shredded white cloak
- Standing around the forest area near huts
Just walk up and interact with him — that’s where the quest begins.
The Quest Requirement
Once you talk to him, you’ll get a task:
Perfect Catch 5 fish at night in Everturn Forest
Sounds easy… until you realize two important conditions:
- It must be at night
- It must be perfect catches (not normal catches)
If you’re catching fish during daytime or missing perfect timing, it won’t count — and this is where most people get stuck.
How to Complete It Faster
Instead of struggling with it, here’s the smoother way:
- Wait specifically for night cycle
- Stay in Everturn Forest waters
- Focus on timing your catches properly
- Don’t rush — perfect catches matter more than speed
Once you hit all five perfect catches, the quest completes automatically.
Where to Get the Rod After Completing the Quest
After finishing the quest, something new appears.
Right near the same area:
- The Splitbranch Twig rod becomes available for purchase
Cost:
- 25,000 currency
So make sure you have enough saved up before finishing the quest, or you’ll just be standing there looking at it.
Splitbranch Twig Rod Stats
Here’s what you’re working with:
- Luck: 85
- Control: 0.1
- Resilience: -0.1
- Max Weight: 45
- Capacity: 10,000
This is one of those hidden progression items that the game doesn’t clearly guide you toward. If you don’t talk to the right NPC or don’t realize the “night + perfect catch” condition, you’d never even know it exists.
