Progression in Fisch is slow, and every time you get a new rod, it will feel like a major milestone. But getting a new rod is only half the fun because you can also enchant it. The question is: Should you? We’re here to answer that with this guide.
We’ll tell you all about how the enchant system works to the best enchants you should use for each rod. By the end of this guide, you should have a very solid understanding of how the system works and even some good rod + enchant combos.

How to Enchant a Fishing Rod in Fisch
To enchant a rod in Fisch, you’ll first need to acquire an Enchant Relic. Enchant Relics can be found with a ~1/100 chance anytime you fish (depending on rod/bait Luck, and area) or bought from Merlin at Sunstone Island (-930, 225, -990) for C$11,000 after you reach level 30.
Mutations on the Enchant Relics don’t affect the enchantment process, but they do affect the price. So, sell all relics worth more than C$11,000 and use that money to buy regular relics from Merlin. Exceptions are Hexed, Abyssal, and other relics that you will need to unlock the Rod of the Depths and such.
Once you get an Enchant Relic, make your way toward the Statue of Sovereignty at night and enter the mines underground. There will be an elevator there that needs a Token to work. You can buy the Token from the NPC (20, 135, -1135) right next to the elevator for C$400. Note that you’ll need to buy a new token every time you go down.
Once the elevator reaches the bottom, you’ll be in the Keeper’s Altar. Now, make sure to equip the rod that you want to enchant since the Relic will be applied to whatever you currently have equipped. Once you’ve done that, interact with the altar at the end of the room while holding an Enchant Relic to enchant your rod.

List of All Rod Enchants in Fisch
Below is the list of all enchants in Fisch. Unfortunately, the enchant you get is completely random, so you’ll need to play the RNG game each time you try to enchant your rod, and this can be annoying. All we can tell you is: “Good luck, and don’t despair.” It took us forever to get some of these Enchants, too, but it can definitely be done with enough time and dedication.
