Learn how to get the Baiting Badge in 99 Nights in the Forest by upgrading your Fishing Rod to the max level.

What is the Baiting Badge in 99 Nights in the Forest
To unlock this badge, you need to successfully upgrade your Fishing Rod to the maximum level, i.e., from Old Rod to Strong Rod. It’s a sign of commitment to fishing and marks the first step toward unlocking bigger fishing-related challenges in the game.
How To Get a Fishing Rod

The Fishing Rod is a new core item in 99 Nights in the Forest, which was added in-game with the most recent update. Players can pick up their first Old Rod from the Fishing Hut. By catching fish, you gain XP, and with enough XP, you can upgrade your Old Rod into a Good Rod, and with more experience, it becomes a Strong Rod.
How To Upgrade the Fishing Rod

Upgrading is done at the Fishing Hut. Once your Fishing Rod reaches max XP (there’s a bar that fills at the bottom), you can place it on the Upgrade Bench. The process will play sounds similar to upgrading the Crafting Bench, and then you’ll receive the next tier of the rod. Repeat this until you reach the final rod tier, which unlocks the Baiting Badge.
- Baiting Badge Requirements:
- Upgrade your Fishing Rod to the maximum level.
- Difficulty Level:
- 0.5 Stars, but upgrading the rod requires consistent fishing XP, making it a time-consuming but manageable badge.
- Reward:
- 4 Diamonds (rewarded upon earning the badge).
Why Get the Baiting Badge
The badge not only provides Diamonds but also sets you up for higher-tier fishing badges like Fishing, Trophy Fishing, and Deep Sea Fishing. It’s the foundation of the fishing progression.
The Baiting Badge in 99 Nights in the Forest is the first step in mastering fishing. By upgrading your rod through consistent fishing and using the Fishing Hut’s Upgrade Bench, you’ll unlock this badge and set yourself on the path to bigger fishing achievements.
