The Best Rod for Money Making in Fisch Orca Update

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Which rod is the best for making money in Fisch?”, you’re not alone. It’s a common question that comes up in the community, and while there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, we now have a new contender for the crown. In the latest Fisch Orca update, a rod that many have underestimated got a major buff, and it’s now one of the top choices for anyone looking to rake in the cash. Let’s dive into the details!

1. The Auric Rod

At first glance, the Auric Rod might seem underwhelming. With stats like 20% lure speed, 25% luck, 20% resilience, and a max kg of 2500, it doesn’t seem like anything extraordinary. But here’s the kicker – it’s the only rod in the game with a 100% chance of mutation. And not just any mutation: it comes with a gamble that could multiply your catch by 2x to 6x.

Before the Fisch Orca update, the Auric Rod was already a solid money-maker, but the introduction of a bug meant it was only selling for 2x to 5x instead of the intended 6x. Now that the bug has been fixed and its mutation value is officially increased to 6x, the Auric Rod has become a serious contender for the best money-making rod in the game.

The beauty of the Auric Rod is in its ability to consistently give you high-value mutations. Even if you don’t have the rarest fish, the potential to increase the selling price by up to 6x makes it a powerhouse when it comes to generating in-game currency. And with a 0.25% chance of getting it from a Mythic Chest, it’s not something you’ll just come across easily. However, the grind to get it is definitely worth it for those serious about making money.

2. The Seraphic Rod

But don’t count the Seraphic Rod out. Despite the Auric Rod’s newfound strength, the Seraphic Rod still holds its own. While it’s locked behind level 1000 (making it exclusive to high-level players), the Seraphic Rod is great for both money-making and XP farming. It’s one of the top rods in the game, with insane stats like high lure speed and control, making it a great choice if you’re looking for an all-rounder.

The Seraphic Rod has great resilience and offers high potential for catching Mythicals and Legendaries. However, in the test comparisons, the Seraphic Rod couldn’t quite match the Auric Rod’s newfound potential for money-making. Still, with the right setup (like using Quantum for mutations), it can pull in a hefty sum of cash, particularly when paired with lucky circumstances.

Testing the Auric Rod vs Seraphic Rod: Who Wins?

So, which rod really reigns supreme when it comes to making money? Let’s break down the results from testing:

• Auric Rod Test: Using Merlin’s Luck and Hasty Seaweed Bait, the Auric Rod earned over 214,000 in just 12 minutes. This is an insane amount of cash considering the time spent fishing, especially in a difficult area like the Northern Expedition.
• Seraphic Rod Test: When the Seraphic Rod was tested under similar conditions, it made just shy of 300,000 in 12 minutes. The Seraphic Rod is still a formidable choice for money-making, especially when you hit the 1,000 level, but the Auric Rod is much more accessible and can still make a solid profit even for lower-level players.

Which Rod Should You Use?

For Lower-Level Players: If you’re not yet level 1,000, the Auric Rod is the clear winner. Its accessibility and high mutation value (thanks to the recent buff) make it the best rod for making money in Fisch. Although it’s rare, you can still find it through the Sunken Chests, which spawn every hour and contain various valuable items, including the Auric Rod.

For High-Level Players: If you’ve reached level 1,000 and are looking for a more efficient option, the Seraphic Rod is definitely the way to go. With its high lure speed, excellent control, and the ability to get massive profits, it’s ideal for those who have already mastered the game and are looking for the next big thing.

While not as powerful as the Auric or Seraphic rods, the Forgotten Fang Rod also got a recent buff, making it a solid third option for those looking to make money. But remember, this rod is locked behind level 750, so it’s not as accessible as the other two.
