Best Rods and Enchants for Leveling in Fisch

The overall best rods for leveling in Fisch (First Sea) are the Challenger’s Rod, the Tempest Rod, and the No-Life Rod. Challenger’s Rod is the best because of its high stats and 20% Speed Progress, which makes catching those difficult fish a lot easier. This means you can simply add an XP enchant without handicapping yourself. The Tempest Rod is very similar to the Challenger’s Rod, only it has a 15% Speed Progress. The No-Life Rod has amazing stats, the stun of the Trident Rod, but is also pretty difficult to get (you need to level up to 500).
Now, for enchants, the best option is Clever or Insight. Insight boosts your XP gain by 1.5 times while the Clever enchant gives you a 2,25 extra XP. These bonuses also stack with other Xp buffs, such as the gamepass or even the double XP events. To make the process even faster, we recommend you use a Rapid Cathing bait.

Best Leveling Locations & Methods in Fisch
Veil of the Forsaken

Currently, the final and best zone for fishing. It’s not only a great source of XP but a decent money farming spot, too. The best thing about it? Whenever a Scylla hunt starts, you are already there. If you have this zone unlocked and have nothing to do, there’s no reason not to gain levels here.
Grand Reef

If you haven’t made much progress in Fisch and want to start leveling fast, you likely won’t find an easier place than the Grand Reef. Because of how easy it is to catch the Legendary and Mythical fish, you can sometimes gain a level with every 4th or 5th cast; it’s that good. During XP weekends, we used to gain over 100 levels by only fishing here without even using any lures.
Forsaken Shore Captain’s Goldfish Pond – Best Way to Reach Max Level in Fisch

Farming Captain’s Goldfish on the Forsaken Shore is still the best leveling method in Fisch. The spot where you should fish is the waterfall pond at –2685, 165, 1770. This is also the best money-farming spot in the game.
The Depths Farming


The Depths contain not only one of the most OP rods in Fisch, Rod of the Depths, but also one of the best leveling spots. You can fish anywhere in this area, and you’ll earn plenty of EXP. Also, make sure to fish in the Ancient Depth Serpent abundance that spawns during the darkness event. You’ll recognize it by the yellow-glowing water.
Ancient Isle Farming

There are plenty of good mythical fish on the Ancient Isle, and all of them have good EXP. Also, if you farm there, you’ll be close to the Megalodon event spawn, which you’ll have to do a lot to get all the Megalodon variations and complete the bestiary.
Harvester’s Spike (Deep Ocean) Fishing

There is not much to say about the Harvester’s Spike, as it’s not only good for leveling but also one of the best money-farming spots in Fisch. The fish you’ll be targeting here are Oarfish, Colossal Squids, and a few large legendaries. The exact farming spot is at -845, 130, 1235, and the best rod to use is the Trident Rod.
Roslit Bay Fishing

Manta Rays, Crown Bass, and Dumbo Octopuses are all easy to catch and solid sources of XP. The best spot to farm them is the Roslit Bay coral area (-1565, 137, 600). Destiny Rod, Aurora Rod, and the Trident Rod are all viable choices.
Snowcap Island Fishing

The cave at Snowcap Island (2840, 130, 2670) is the best spot for farming Colossal Squids in Fisch, making it a solid spot for leveling, too. There are also other mythics and legendaries you can catch here, but the XP they give isn’t special. The best rod to use here is the Trident Rod.
Aurora Spamming (Requires a Group)

Spamming Aurora Totems and farming rare fish at Harvester’s Pike is by far the most efficient method of leveling with a rod in Fisch. However, it requires you to organize a bunch of people who are willing to do it together with you.
Besides the Harvester’s Pike, the Desolate Deep (best catch is Barbed Shark and Emperor Jellyfish) and the Brine Pool (best catch is Eyefestation and Spectral Serpent) are also good farming spots.
Crab Cage Farming (Nerfed)

Crab Cage farming in the Desolate Deep was one of the best ways to earn XP and level up in Fisch. However, with the nerfed crab-cage placement and worse overall earnings from Sea Mines, it has become fairly redundant. Still, here is how to do it in case the developers choose to revert the nerfs:
- Make your way to the Desolate Deep and set your spawn point there.
- Leave and rejoin the game until you land on a server with Clear weather (Sea Mines prefer this weather).
- Buy ~300 Crab Cages at the Desolate Deep merchant (you can buy even more if you’re sure there is enough room to place them).
- Place the cages around the center island (-1520, -235, -2880), the red container area (-1260, -235, -2960), and the Phantom Ray abundance spot (-1705, -235, -3075). Use ShiftLock and spam LMB while moving sideways to overlap cages and increase the max placement count.
- Buy a Conception Conch at the merchant and then teleport to Sunstone using the Mirror Portal behind him.
- Go to Merlin (-930, 225, -990) and buy a Luck Boost from him for C$5,000.
- Use the Conception Conch to teleport back to the Desolate Deep.
- Collect all the cages as quickly as possible.
How to Increase EXP Gain in Fisch

A great way to increase XP gain in Fisch besides the Clever enchant is to buy the Double XP game pass from the shop for 199 Robux. It’s one of the cheapest and most useful game passes overall. So, if you plan to no-life the game, it’s definitely worth buying.
With all the info above, leveling up and unlocking everything Fisch has to offer should be easy-peasy for you now. To find more guides related to this title, visit the Fisch hub here on Destructoid.
