Fisch 🐟 [ROAMING FISH]

1. Bait

Bait is equipped via the Equipment Bag before fishing. It is not required but strongly recommended. Bait is consumed on use, unless the player fails the shaking phase or the minigame (in which case it is returned). Bait is also consumed when placing Crab Cages; unreturned empty cages return the bait.

1.1 Bait Stats

1.2 Bait Mechanics

• Each fish that prefers a specific bait has its spawn chance multiplied by the bait's Preferred Luck value.
• Baits can have both boosts and trade-offs. For example, Squid boosts Preferred and Universal Luck but reduces Lure Speed; Truffle Worm and Weird Algae drastically boost luck but lower lure speed.
• Some baits have no favoring fish despite having a Preferred Luck stat.

1.3 Obtaining Bait

• Bait Crates: Primary and most reliable method. Common Bait Crates are the most cost-efficient. Avoid Quality Bait Crates (overpriced).
• Crates (General): All crate types except Carbon Crates and Fish Barrels may yield bait.
• Volcanic Geodes and Coral Geodes: Useful for obtaining Truffle Worms, Coal, and other rare bait.
• Magnet Rod: Can fish for crates that contain bait (slow, not recommended for efficiency).
• AFK Rewards (added in later update): Some baits can now be obtained passively.
• Angler Quest completions: Minimum quest levels unlock certain bait types.

1.4 Notable Baits

1. Boats

Boats are the primary means of traversing the ocean between islands. Players must be at least Level 5 to purchase and spawn boats. Most boats have passenger seats for other players.

1.1 Boat Stats

• Speed: Maximum studs per second (S/ps). Higher = faster travel.
• Acceleration: How quickly the boat reaches top speed. Higher = snappier starts.
• Steering: Turn radius in degrees. Higher = sharper turns.
• Seats: Number of passengers the boat can carry.

1.2 Permanent Boats (Available from Shipwright)

Best permanent progression: Rowboat (C$700) → Hovercraft (C$7,000) → Luxury Speedboat (C$20,000, Level 50) → Jetski (C$50,000, Level 60) — most players stick with the Jetski for all endgame content.

1.3 Utility Boats (For Lobster/Net Fishing)

1.4 Rod Mastery Boats (Unlocked by completing specific rod masteries)

1.5 Miscellaneous Boats (RNG / Special Obtain)

1.6 Shop Boats (Robux)

1.7 Leveling Reward Boats

1.8 Notable Event Boats (Historical — no longer obtainable unless noted)

1.9 How to Get a Boat

Boats are purchased from Shipwright NPCs found at the docks of most major islands. Interact with the Shipwright to buy, swap, and spawn your boat.

Note: Utility Shipwrights (for Lobster/Net Fishing) were removed in a past update.

1. Enchanting

Enchanting applies a permanent buff to a Fishing Rod via an Enchant Relic. Enchantments are displayed as a colored prefix on the rod's name and are visible in the inventory and Equipment Bag.

1.1 How to Enchant

1. Obtain an Enchant Relic (fishing drop, Merlin at Sunstone Island for C$11,000, or from the Rod of the Depths ghost passive).
2. Travel to the Keeper's Altar (beneath the Statue of Sovereignty; use the elevator inside the cave at night, accessible via Cole).
3. Interact with the Altar to apply a random enchantment to your currently equipped rod.
4. Multiple players can enchant simultaneously at the same altar.

Save Enchant Relics and Exalted Relics for strong rods — don't waste them on early rods.

1.2 Exalted Relics

1. Fishing Mechanics

1.1 Casting

Holding Left Click (PC), R2 (PlayStation), or tapping/holding (Mobile) with the Fishing Rod equipped opens the cast meter. Releasing sends the bobber. The slider position determines how far the cast goes. A green indicator means a perfect cast, though cast timing does not affect luck or lure speed — only distance.

1.2 Shaking (Luring Phase)

After casting, Shake buttons appear on screen. Each shake reduces lure wait time by approximately 0.5–1.5 seconds. Shaking is entirely optional but speeds up farming significantly. Certain items can affect the size of the shake button.

1.3 Reeling Minigame

Once a fish is lured (indicated by a "!" and a sound), the reeling minigame begins:

• A white bar (the control bar) must stay around the fish indicator to fill the progress bar.
• Left Click / Space / Tap moves the white bar right; releasing moves it left.
• The minigame starts in a locked state for 1.2 seconds (or until progress reaches 20%).
• Progress is gained/lost at approximately 12% per second based on fish position.
• If progress reaches zero, the minigame is lost and the bait is not consumed (only if the fish was never lured).
• If the fish stays inside the bar for the entire minigame, the player earns a Perfect Catch: +C$10 and +50% XP for that catch.

1.4 Fish Rarity & Value

Fish have different rarities that correspond to difficulty and sell value. Rarity tiers include Common, Uncommon, Rare, Legendary, Mythic, Exotic, and Limited.

1.5 Catch Streak

Players build a catch streak by catching fish (excluding Crates, Crab Cages, and rod passive catches) without snapping their reel. After 10 consecutive catches, the streak is displayed above the player's head and broadcasted in chat when lost.

1.6 Perfect Catch Mechanics

• Perfect Catches grant 1.5× XP and C$10 bonus per catch.
• The progress bar formula: T(p) = 1.2 + 6.8/(1+(p/100)) seconds to complete, where p is the progress speed modifier.
• Some fish are Progress-Locked: their progress speed cannot be modified by most outside sources.

1.7 Crab Cages

• Cost: C$45 each.
• Placed on solid ground adjacent to water. Partially submerged surfaces also work.
• Have different loot tables from regular fishing.
• Some fish (e.g., Sea Mine) can only be caught via Crab Cage.
• Bait is consumed when placing a Crab Cage; unreturned cages with no catch return the bait.
• Crab Cage loot is affected by Luck and Lure Speed stats.

1.8 Appraisal

• Cost: C$450 per appraisal (Appraiser NPC).
• Appraisal randomly changes the fish's weight and has a chance to apply a random mutation.
• Removes any existing mutation from the fish.
• Best used on expensive Mythic fish where the weight/mutation upgrade justifies the risk.
• The Appraiser's Luck gamepass increases the chance of obtaining mutations through appraisal.
• Fish given a mutation through appraisal do not grant Moonlit stacks (event-specific mechanic).

1.9 Underwater Exploration

• Basic Diving Gear (C$3,000): Purchased at Moosewood Docks (370, 135, 250). Increases air capacity while swimming.
• Advanced Diving Gear (C$15,000): Available at the Desolate Deep entrance buoy, Desolate Deep merchant, and Atlantis merchant. Extends air capacity by up to 3 minutes.
• Abyssal Tonic: Temporarily grants immunity to Pressure (needed for Tidefall area).
• Submarine: Unlocked through Dr. Glimmerfin's quest at Roslit Bay. Required for exploring Mariana's Veil. Upgrades progressively with each zone completed.

---

1. Money Farming & Leveling

1.1 Currency (C$)

Earned primarily by selling fish to Merchants. Additional sources include:

• Opening Crates, Geodes, and other consumables.
• Perfect Catch bonus: +C$10 per perfect catch.
• Completing Angler Quests.
• Redeeming active Codes.

1.2 Best Farming Spots by Stage

Early Game:

• Forsaken Shores Pond: Captain's Goldfish farming is highly reliable and efficient for early C$.
• Roslit Bay Coral Reef: Old standby; still functional for early players.

Mid Game:

• Forsaken Shores Pond: Captain's Goldfish remains one of the most reliable money methods.
• Roslit Bay Corals (with Nocturnal Rod): Target Manta Rays using Shrimp bait; excellent C$.
• The Depths: Best overall money location. Insane C$ and Enchant Relics if you can access it.

Late Game:

• Forsaken Shores Pond: Still strong even at end game.
• The Depths: Far and away the best farming area. Enchant Relics alone generate significant wealth.
• Grand Reef: Great for leveling during Aurora Borealis (Coral Emperor and Grand Reef Guardian = massive XP per catch; level up every 2–3 catches with server/totem boosts).

Very Late Game (Level 500+):

• Challenger's Deep: Best leveling spot after Level 500, particularly with the Ethereal Prism Rod.
• Everturn Forest / Forsaken Shores Pond during Aurora Borealis: Recommended farming for multiple progression milestones (up to Level 1000+) with high-tier rods (Luminescent Oath, Ruinous Oath, etc.).
• Coral Bastion: Alternative to Everturn Forest for Fallen Rod farming.

1.3 XP Tips

• Perfect Catches: Always aim for perfect catches to earn 1.5× XP per fish.
• Clever Enchant: Adds a significant XP multiplier to any rod.
• Wise Enchant (via Cosmic Relic): 1.2× XP multiplier on top of other bonuses.
• Pinion's Aria: Use alongside main farming rod for additional XP.
• Challenger's Rod + Clever: Current best method for reaching max level.
• Visiting new locations for the first time gives approximately 300 XP each (main locations only, not sub-locations).

1.4 C$ Milestone Targets (from Progression Guide)

---

1. Mutations

Mutations modify the sell value of a fish and may alter its appearance. A fish can have only one mutation at a time. Mutations with higher value multipliers take priority over lower ones (unless the total mutation chance exceeds 100%, in which case the lowest-multiplier mutations are set to 0%).

1.1 How Mutations Are Applied

• Natural catch: Fish have a base chance to be caught with a mutation.
• Appraisal: The Appraiser can apply a random mutation (costs C$450; removes any existing mutation).
• Rod passives: Many rods grant a specific mutation chance.
• Events: Certain events (e.g., Moonlit Mirage, Admin Events) apply exclusive mutations.
• Enchantments: Some enchantments add mutation or attribute chances.

Relics can be caught with a mutation but it has no effect when enchanting.

1.2 Mutation Types

Value Mutations (increase sell price):

• Fungal — 4× value (Fungal Rod passive; 30% chance)
• Frozen — 1.3× value (Arctic Rod passive)

• Blarney — 4.5× value (Lucky bait passive; limited St. Patrick Event)
• Jolly — value multiplier (Shark Head bait ability; Fischmas Event)
• Chaotic — obtained via Chaotic Enchantment
• Lunar — +5% Fish Weight per stack for the rest of the Moonlit Mirage event (up to +25% / 5 stacks); 0.1% chance to catch Lunar Threads during a Moonlit Mirage.

Size Attributes (do not affect sell value; indicate weight deviation):

• Tiny — fish weight is notably below its base weight range.
• Giant — fish weight is notably above its base weight range.
• Size attributes can be lost through appraisal if the weight shifts back to standard range.

Rarity Attributes:

• Shiny, Sparkling, Glitched — special visual mutations. Methods to increase their chances involve specific rods, enchantments, and conditions.

1.3 For Pattern-Based Mutations

For mutations that generate patterns (e.g., Mosaic), the pattern is determined by the weight of the fish at the time of the mutation.

1.4 Appraiser's Luck Gamepass

1. Game Overview

Fisch is an open-world Roblox adventure and exploration fishing game. Players explore a large map of islands and oceans, catching fish, completing quests, upgrading equipment, and uncovering secrets. The core loop involves fishing to earn in-game currency (C$), which is used to buy better rods, boats, and items that unlock access to new areas and rarer fish.

The game features:

• A large interconnected world with multiple islands, oceans, underwater zones, and secret areas.
• A full progression system across rods, boats, levels, and the Bestiary.
• Mutations, enchantments, and weather events that affect fishing outcomes.
• A Second Sea region (added later, requiring level 200 to unlock).

1. Fishing Rod Stats

All rods have 8 core stats (plus a "Fish Caught" tracker):

1.1 Passives

Many rods (especially mid-to-high tier) have passive abilities that:

• Boost catch rate for specific fish types.
• Grant a chance for special mutations on catches.
• Trigger extra catches automatically.
• Apply special effects (e.g., Stab, buff activations).

Passives are a major factor in evaluating rod quality — a rod with modest base stats but a powerful passive may outperform a rod with high stats and no passive.

1.6 Rod Quick Reference Table

1. Pro Tips

• Always use bait: Even a basic bait provides meaningful stat boosts. Match bait to the fish you're targeting (preferred bait for specific fish).
• Use the Fishing Minigame optimally: Quickly tap and adjust speed based on the fish indicator position. Aim for Perfect Catches for 1.5× XP.
• Check the Shake phase: Shake buttons speed up luring. Don't skip them when farming fast.
• Enchanting priority: Save Enchant/Exalted Relics for high-tier rods (Trident Rod and beyond). Never enchant early rods.
• Weather and time matter: Fish have preferred seasons/times/weather. Missing the window = 90% spawn rate penalty. Use Totems to control conditions.
• The Depths is king: Once accessible, The Depths is the single best location for money, XP, and Enchant Relic farming.
• Aurora Borealis is essential late game: Dramatically increases rare catches. Grand Reef during Aurora Borealis = fastest leveling in mid-game.
• Use the Fish Radar: Equip it to see abundance spots for current fish. Abundance areas = dramatically faster catch rates.
• Catch Streak is worth maintaining: Keep your streak alive for quality-of-life benefits.
• Appraise wisely: Only appraise expensive Mythic fish — you lose the existing mutation. The Appraiser's Luck gamepass is worth it if you appraise frequently.
• Crab Cages are a side activity: Useful for specific fish not catchable via rod (e.g., Sea Mine). Use on solid ground near water.
• First-time location bonuses: Visiting a new main location for the first time awards ~300 XP. Prioritize exploring early.
• Avoid overpriced items: Quality Bait Crates are overpriced. Stick to Common Bait Crates for regular bait.
• Rod/Bait synergy: Match bait to your rod's weaknesses. If your rod has low Resilience, use resilience-boosting bait. If you need Luck, use Universal Luck bait.
• Stab mechanics: Stab effects from rods (Trident, Cerulean Fang), enchantments (Chaotic, Piercing, Rage), or bait (Stag Beetle) cancel fish movement during the minigame. Pair stabbing enchants with low-resilience rods for maximum efficiency.
• Auto Sell setup: Lock any fish you want to keep with Mouse 2 before mass-selling. Use Auto Sell with discretion for each rarity tier.
• Bestiary completion: Check the Fish page on fischipedia.org for optimal Time, Weather, Season, Bait, and Location for every fish.

1. Weather, Time & Seasons

1.1 Day/Night Cycle

• A full day lasts approximately 25 real-life minutes (12.5 min day + 12.5 min night).
• One real-life second = one in-game minute.
• View the current time by hovering over the time-of-day indicator (bottom right of screen).
• A Sundial Totem can speed up the celestial cycle.
• Fish outside their preferred time have a 90% spawn rate reduction (can be negated by the Nocturnal Rod passive).

1.2 Seasons

• Each season lasts 576 real-life minutes (~9.6 hours per season).
• Seasons are universal across all servers.
• During a fish's preferred season, spawn rate is increased by +25%.
• During a non-preferred season, spawn rate is reduced by −15% (even if no preference).
• Seasons Rod further boosts preferred-season fish by an additional +40% multiplicative (total: +75% boost).

Current season cycle (as of June 2026): Spring is current.

1.3 Weather

• During a fish's preferred weather, spawn rate is increased by +35%.
• Weather conditions (except Frost Moon) are naturally occurring — randomly selected at the start of each weather window.
• Totems can directly modify weather or accelerate time. Totems that modify weather are blocked if the weather in their group is already protected by another effect.

1.4 Weather Conditions & Events

1.5 Totems

Totems are consumable, one-time-use items that alter weather, time, or trigger an event on the server. A new totem must be purchased for each use.
