How to Obtain Festive Driftwood in Roblox Fisch

Festive Driftwood is a rare item introduced in the FischMas update, essential for crafting the Krampus Rod. While regular driftwood is considered “trash,” the festive version plays a significant role in enhancing your gameplay.

Methods to Obtain Festive Driftwood

You can get Festive Driftwood in two primary ways:

1. Fishing with the Candy Cane Rod:
   • The Candy Cane Rod provides a 10% chance of fishing Festive items, including Festive Driftwood.
   • It can be obtained at Santa’s Workshop for 1,500 CS.
   • Despite its weak stats, the rod’s festive mutation buff gives it added value.
2. Appraising Regular Driftwood:
   • Players can collect regular driftwood while fishing and appraise it to transform it into Festive Driftwood.
   • Using the Mutant Surge ability while appraising increases your chances of obtaining Festive Driftwood.

Tip: Collect enough driftwood for appraisals, as this method relies on quantity to increase your odds.
