2. 🗑️ Finding Valuable Trash for Recycling
- ✅ Trash is crucial in Grand Bazaar for recycling with Charles after reaching bazaar rank 4.
- ✅ Bottles, cans, and boots can be exchanged for diamonds, power berries, and a feather jewel needed for the travel stone.
- ✅ 50 trash items are needed for the feather jewel.
- ✅ Fish bones are not recyclable but are used to create guardian bait.
To find trash:
- ❌ Don't use bait, as it decreases the chances of finding trash.
- ⬇️ A less upgraded fishing rod increases the ratio of trash to fish.
- ⛈️ Fishing during storms (typhoons in summer, blizzards in winter) significantly increases the amount of trash found.
