In Fisch, enchantments serve as potentially powerful modifiers that can turn even mediocre rods into useful tools for grinding specific fish and/or mutations. In this guide, we'll be going over everything you need to know about enchantments, starting with how to get them.
How to Enchant Rods
Getting Enchant Relics
To enchant a fishing rod, you first need to get an Enchant Relic. These can be acquired through many ways, but the most common and reliable methods are the following:
- Fishing them randomly from any source (1/350 chance)
- Buying them from Merlin at Sunstone Island (Level 30 required)
There are other types of Enchant Relics as well (Twisted, Exalted, etc.), but we will cover those in their respective sections further down.
Where to Enchant Rods
With your Enchant Relics on hand, you must head to the Statue of Sovereignty to start using them on your rods. It can be found just north of Moosewood, and it's hard to miss.
Once there, make your way down the mine shaft just behind the Shipwright.
Inside, you will eventually find an elevator. Speak with Cole, who is standing beside it. He will allow you to use the elevator at the cost of $400, though you can unlock permanent access by paying him $100,000.
Once below, you'll find the Keepers Altar. Simply hold out your Enchant Relic and interact with it to enchant the rod you currently have equipped!
IMPORTANT: The Keepers Altar can only be used at night!
Full List of Enchantments
There are many kinds of enchantments in Fisch, and regular Enchant Relics will grant you a random standard one. Most of them have benefits that are tailored towards specific types of rods or for applying specific mutations, while some, like the Chaotic enchant, can be fairly good all-arounders.
Below is a full list of all the standard enchantments, then we'll go over each of the other types in their own subsections further down.
If you are looking for the best enchants overall, make sure to check out our tier list of enchantments in Fisch to learn more!

Unlike regular enchantments, you can get Exalted Enchants by using an Exalted Relic at the Keepers Altar. Exalted Relics can be acquired through most of the same methods as normal Enchant Relics, but with a much lower chance.
Here are all the Exalted Enchants:

Twisted Enchants
Twisted Enchants all grant some form of negative modifier and typically do not have any positives. While this may sound undesirable, there are some niche uses where they truly shine.
These can be acquired by heading to the Keepers Altar and using a Twisted Relic, which can be bought from Merlin for $500,000 each. Here are all the Twisted Enchants:

- Fishing with a Rod of the Cosmos (0.1% base chance)
- Claiming Fallen Stars during a Starfall event (20% chance)
Cosmic Enchants are Secondary Enchantments, which means that they stack on top of primary ones (e.g. Standard and Exalted). Here is a list of all Cosmic Enchants in the game:
Enchant Name | Effects | Best For |
|---|---|---|
Cryogenic | 20% chance to freeze a fish. | Catching certain annoying fish. Sometimes used in combination with Chronos for more potent freezing. |

Quest Enchants
Unlike other enchantments in Fisch, Quest Enchants can usually only be acquired by completing certain repeatable quests or are temporarily applied to specific rods during a one-off quest.

Sovereign Enchantments
Sovereign Enchants are among the most powerful enchantments in the game, and they require significant effort to not only apply, but to maintain. Their powers are limited, and your rods must be recharged constantly to benefit from their bonuses.
These enchantments take up both the Primary and Secondary slots. They also turn rods into Keeperbound Rods, which will eventually need to be recharged by offering any relic at the Keepers Altar.
Here are all the Sovereign Enchants, as well as the additional relics you need to add in order to get a chance at receiving them:

How to Acquire Sovereign Relics
You will need a Sovereign Relic in order to get these special enchantments, and they are mainly acquired by fishing at a Sovereign Beam Pool during certain special weather events.
While fishing at these Sovereign pools, you'll have a roughly 1/150 base chance to catch a Sovereign Relic. Outside of that, fishing anywhere will yield an extremely low 0.01% chance.
How to Use Sovereign Relics
Unlike regular Enchant Relics, you must wait for a Sovereign Power Burst before you can use your Sovereign Relic, and you'll also need other relics ready alongside that.
When a Power Burst occurs, the pillars around the Keepers Altar will start floating, and this lets you offer varying relics to them. The following are all the relic types you can insert, as well as the Keeper Level required to use them:
Keeper Level | Usable Relics |
|---|---|
1 | Enchant Relic |
2 | Exalted & Cosmic Relic |
3 | Twisted Relic |
4 | All Limited/Event & Quest Relics |
Increasing Your Keeper Level
To increase your Keeper Level, you must find the Keeper Warden deep in the Enchanted Crevice part of the Sovereignty Mines. He will give you varying quests that you must complete to earn more Keeper XP.
Here are all of the tasks he will give you, in the order you'll be doing them on the way to Keeper Level 4:
- Speak to all of the miners in the Enchanted Crevice.
- Catch 5 fish in the Enchanted Crevice
- Finish a Keeper's Ritual
- Witness a Keeper's Weather and enchant a rod with more than 1 pillar active
- Restore power to a Keeperbound Rod
- Catch a Sovereign fish
Non-Rod Enchantments
You can also enchant some of your other tools, as there are other fishing activities that don't use a rod. In the next couple of sections, we'll go over each of them.
Spear Enchants
Spear Enchants are those that can exclusively be acquired on a spear. To get them, you use either a regular Enchant Relic or a Cosmic Relic at the Keepers Altar. The following are all of the Spear Enchants:
