Everything you need to know about the Midas Rod in Fisch

Overview and acquisition method

Traveling Merchant notification (Image via Roblox)

The Midas Rod is a fishing rod available for purchase from the Traveling Merchant for 55,000 C$ — making it a rather expensive rod for the stats it offers. This implement requires you to wait for the Traveling Merchant to spawn, which has a random chance of happening on any island in the game. Once the Merchant appears — you only have a limited time before he disappears and you lose the chance to nab the tool.

This rod’s specialty is that it has a 60% chance of applying the Midas Mutation on a caught fish. This mutation turns the fish into gold — effectively doubling its value, and giving you extra cash when you sell it. The modification is exclusive to this rod and there is no other way to amplify the odds at the moment.

Stats and Enchantment recommendations

The Midas Rod features fairly balanced stats — with a high load capacity of 4,000 kg — but its resilience is -20%, making it a fragile tool. It boasts a Lure Speed of 60%, which makes it a rather fast rod for quick fish farming. Additionally, the rod features a small Luck boost of 10% — which can be decent if you aim to fish without seeking specific fish species.

If you purchase this rod, you can attempt to mend its shortcomings with Enchantments. Enchantments like Divine, Hasty, and Resilient can smooth over its flaws to a degree, improving its Luck, Lure Speed, and Resilience ratings, respectively.

You can seek out these Enchantments by visiting the Keeper’s Altar under the Statue of Sovereignty.
