How about skipping Webfishing and going meteor hunting instead?
Although it's not exactly treasure in the traditional sense, as the items you find may contain meaningless things like a rusted ring or button. Of course, you will need a tool for this treasure hunt – a metal detector. If you are wondering where to get a metal detector and how to use it, this guide is for you.
To get a metal detector, you need to purchase one. Start at the hub and stand with your back to the Pawprint Point. Take the path to your right and follow it get to the big lake. Go to the path in front of the lighthouse, keep the beacon on your right how will you go along the way
When you get to the wooden bridgecross it and continue along the path jump down to the beach on your right. Head towards the dock where you will be find a small cabin with a yellow roof. Communicate with the cabin door buy a metal detector for $100.
After purchasing a metal detector, it will be added to your backpack. Click on the backpack icon in the top right to open it, where you will see a metal detector in your inventory. If you plan to use it often, you can assign it to the hotbar slot. Click on the metal detector to equip it and your character will hold it, allowing you to search for items as you walk around.
However, just walking will not be enough; your goal is to find the cairns. When you're near the pile a red dot will flash above your character's headaccompanied by a beep. As you approach the mound, the rate of flashing and beeping will increase. When you find a cairn, interact with it to discover an item.
If another player on the same server uses a metal detector, you won't find any piles while using yours. Only one person on the server can locate the cairns using a metal detector.
Since searching with a metal detector requires constant walking, you can buy Speed Slurps from the vending machine in the hub that help you search more efficiently.
After a red dot appears above your character's head, continue forward. If the red dot and the beeping speed up, the stack is ahead; if it slows down, go back. Move back and forth to find the best spot, then use the same method to search left and right to find the cairn.
You can find a limited number of items with a metal detector. While they have some economic value in the early stages of the game, it may be more beneficial to focus on fishing for higher gains as you progress. Here is a list of items you can find with a metal detector:
-
