Complete Fisch Roblox Appraisal Guide – List of All Fish Worth Appraising

Let me call in my fish guy. He'll know the value of this thing.

Appraising is one of the most poorly explained mechanics in Fisch, and I see people often using it in such a way that they never come out with more money than they invested. So, I prepared a complete Fisch Roblox appraisal guide that will teach you which fish are worth appraising and how to do it.

How to Appraise in Fisch Roblox

To appraise a fish in Fisch, you have to visit the Appraiser NPC (450, 150, 210) in Moosewood. Each appraisal costs C$450, and every time you do it, the fish will be returned to your inventory with modified stats (weight and potential mutation).

Note that if it was favorited in your inventory, it will lose that status once you get it back. The Appraiser can also tell you the current value of your fish, which you should do before you start appraising.

Fisch Appraisal Mechanics Explained

  • Appraisal costs C$450, and it can be done multiple times for a single fish.
  • You can’t appraise bait crates, rods, and other non-fish items.
  • Appraisal will remove current mutations from the fish except for Shiny and Sparkling.
  • The weight of the fish will either decrease or increase with each appraisal (50/50, it seems).
  • The current weight of the fish doesn’t affect the possible weight values.
  • There is a chance that the fish will get a random mutation when appraising (~10% from my experience).

Do Events (Shiny Surge, Mutation Surge, etc.) Affect Appraisal?

Yes, event-induced boosts to mutation chance work while appraising. So, it’s best to appraise all your fish during Mutation Surge, Shiny Surge, and other similar events. Aurora doesn’t affect mutation chance, so there is no reason to appraise during it.

When Should You Appraise in Fisch?

As a rule of thumb, the only catch you want to appraise in Fisch is Mythic/Event fish that are worth ~C$3,000 or more without any mutations. Fish that come to mind are Colossal Squid, Isonade, Nessie, Great White Shark, Great Hammerhead Shark, etc.

Another reason to appraise is if the fish is severely below the average weight. For example, even a relatively cheap fish such as the Captain’s Goldfish (~C$2,000) is worth appraising if it’s weight is ~1Kg, which is basically the minimum. So, the weight can go only up from there.

List of All Fish Worth Appraising

Below is the list of all fish that are worth appraising. Also, because Shiny/Sparkling mutations stay even after appraisal, it’s worth appraising any fish that is worth over 3,000 with those two mutations. For example, a Moonfish is usually worth around 1,800, but with Shiny/Sparkling, its value is ~3,300, making it worth appraising.

Values in the table are close approximations

So, to summarize: when you catch a fish you think is valuable, visit the Appraiser, check its price, and if it’s more than C$3,000, start appraising it over and over again until it gets a modifier or bigger weight you’re satisfied with.

Also, if you haven’t figured that out by now, don’t appraise fish that already have the Mythical or Atlantean mutations (from the Mythical Rod and the Trident Rod) since that will be lost with appraisal. The same goes for the Midas mutation if you’re using the Midas rod.

How to Increase Appraisal Luck in Fisch

The only way to increase appraisal luck in Fisch is by buying the Appraiser’s Luck gamepass for R$ 399. You can find the Gamepasses board (420, 150, 275) in Moosewood, on the top of the stairs leading to the Merchant and other NPCs around the pond.

That does it for our Fisch Roblox appraisal guide. If you need help with something else, such as how to enchant your rod or how to find totems, visit the Fisch hub here on Destructoid to find more info.
