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.
Also, 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.
That does it for our Fisch enchant guide. To find more guides related to this title, visit the Fisch section on Destructoid.
