Enchantments

Enchantments are special bonuses that you can apply to your fishing rods in Fish It! using a rare item called the Enchant Stone. These enchants permanently enhance your rod with powerful effects like increased Luck, Reel Speed, Shiny Chance, and Mutation Chance.

Enchanting is one of the most advanced features in the game — and understanding how it works can greatly improve your efficiency when farming rare, shiny, or mutated fish.


How to Get Enchant Stones

  • Obtainable through fishing: Enchant Stones have about a 1 in 1,000 chance to drop from fishing anywhere except Coena Volcano and Crater Island.
  • Cannot be bought: There’s no crafting recipe or merchant sale — fishing is the only way to get them.
  • Luck affects rarity: High-luck setups slightly improve your chances. Use strong Bobbers and Fishing Rods to improve drop efficiency.

Where to Enchant

To apply an Enchant Stone:

  1. Travel to the Esoteric Depths.
  2. Pay 400 coins to use the elevator down to the Enchant area.
  3. In the center, you’ll find the Enchant Altar — interact with it to apply your stone.
  4. Your rod will receive a random enchant (or upgrade if that enchant has tiers).

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Can you remove or change an enchant?
Currently, enchants cannot be removed. Once applied, it stays on the rod unless future updates add an override system.

Q. Can a rod have multiple enchants?
Each rod can hold one active enchantment at a time. Some rods may gain multiple slots in future updates.

Q. Do Enchant Stones stack?
No, each stone is consumed when you apply it. You’ll need to find more stones for future enchants.

Q. Where is the Enchant Altar again?
In Esoteric Depths, reachable by paying 400 coins at the elevator — the altar is located in the center area.
