Blood Moon Bounty: How to Obtain Chum Buckets
Chum Buckets are a world's rare drop that only happens when affected by a Blood Moon event. This is how to get them:- Basic Blood Moon: The Blood Moon is an event that occurs at night and is difficult to deal with because the spawn rate of stronger enemies and unique enemies is doubled. Wait for a Blood Moon to naturally happen or bring it on prematurely with a Water Candle or Bloody Tear. And naturally, you'll fight!
- Fishing Frenzy: Here is an opportunity for you to switch the ordinary loot with those of standard appearance under a Blood Moon. Visit the water body and cast your line, but instead of reeling in a group of fish or treasure, you get some Blood Moon baddies: Wandering Eye Fish, Zombie Mermen, Hemoglobin Shark, Blood Eel, and the.
- Liquid Loot: Blood Moon enemies can drop Chum Buckets with a stack size of 4-10. Work with patience and lots of persistence, since the drop is not on a guaranteed basis.

No. Once thrown in the water, Chum Buckets disappear, offering a single-use fishing power boost.

There's no hard limit, but using more than three Chum Buckets in the same body of water won't provide any additional benefit.
Should I use Chum Buckets every time I go fishing?
They're most beneficial during Blood Moons or when targeting specific rare fish. For casual fishing, other methods like Potions might suffice.
