Rod Analysis and Enhancement Guide
Great Dreamer Rod
This premium rod excels with its 65% lure speed and balanced statistics. Its signature 1% chance to summon Cthulhu guarantees a Cursed Touch mutation, though the low activation rate makes it inconsistent for E$ farming. Optimal enhancements include Hasty or Steady for faster fishing, or Lucky/Divine to maximize its solid luck attribute.
Free Spirit Rod
A late-game favorite featuring 150% luck and excellent control. Its Skeletal Flowering passive (20% chance) generates valuable Bloom mutations. The built-in stab ability accelerates minigame progress by 6%. Recommendation: Enhance with Hasty or Swift to compensate for average lure speed.
Verdant Shear Rod
This well-rounded option boasts 150% luck and superior control. Its daytime-activated passive (10% chance) grows a temporary tree that may impart valuable mutations. Strategic timing with Sundial Totems and Hasty/Swift enhancements optimize its performance.
Azure of Lagoon Rod
The ultimate heavy fish specialist with 100,000kg capacity and 55% resilience. Its stab ability provides consistent minigame acceleration. Counteract negative control with Controlled enhancements, and improve moderate lure speed with Hasty/Swift options.
Blazebringer Rod
This combo-focused rod rewards perfect catches with escalating luck boosts and mutation chances. Maintaining 35 consecutive perfects grants maximum bonuses. Enhance with Resilient or Controlled to preserve streaks.
Frog Rod
Features 100% base luck and a stacking passive that can increase luck up to 2.5x. Its low resilience and speed can be mitigated with Resilient/Controlled or Hasty/Swift enhancements respectively.
Firefly Rod
The fastest rod (75% lure speed) but with significant drawbacks including negative control. Best for rapid common fish collection. Recommended enhancements include Lucky/Divine for luck improvement or Resilient/Controlled for better handling.
Wildflower Rod
A solid early Second Sea option with good resilience and control. Outperforms other beginner rods with its 700kg capacity. Suggested enhancements: Hasty or Swift for efficiency.
Adventurer's Rod
This basic rod serves as temporary equipment until better options become available. Not recommended for enchantment investment due to extremely limited capabilities.
Rod Enhancement Process
To enhance your fishing rod:
- Navigate to the cave beneath the Statue of Sovereignty (First Sea)
- Purchase a 400 E$ access token from the guard
- Use the lift to descend to the enchantment altar
- Apply Enchant Relics for random enhancements (repeat until desired effect is obtained)
The enchantment island is easily accessible by boat from the starting pier, positioned slightly to the right of the main island.
