The Free Spirit Rod in Fisch is one with a good Luck stat and decent Resilience and Control. However, obtaining it is not a quick process. This guide will walk you through the steps to unlock and use the Free Spirit Rod.
How to Obtain the Free Spirit Rod
Unlock the Second Sea
Before you can access this rod’s location, you must first gain access to the Second Sea. Check out our linked article to know the process.
Once you unlock the Second Sea, you’ll be ready for the next step.
Fill Out Your Bestiary
The Free Spirit Rod is locked behind a challenge that requires you to fill 70% of the Bestiary for a specific region. Focus on catching as many different fish as possible in the Isles of New Beginnings.
Focus on seasonal, weather-based, and time-specific fish, use the right bait, and pick a rod with fast or instant Lure Speed to make the process quicker.
Moreover, the Free Spirit Rod costs 200,000E$, so you’ll need to collect a lot of money beforehand as well. Farm rare fish to earn the required amount faster.
Find the Free Spirit Rod’s Location
Once your Bestiary progress is high enough, head to the Isle of New Beginnings in the Second Sea. The rod is hidden in a shipwreck (-387, 79, -388), leaning against a wooden beam.
Purchase the Rod
Interacting with the Free Spirit Rod will give you the option to buy it.

- 5,000 kg Max Weight Capacity
Skeletal Flowering Passive:
One of the main reasons this rod is so valuable is its Skeletal Flowering passive. When active, there is a 20% chance of triggering a special event where purple gemstones rain over your fishing area. Any fish caught during this event has a chance to have the Bloom mutation, significantly increasing its value (5x).
This makes the Free Spirit Rod one of the best for farming rare and valuable fish while earning good money.
Aside from this, it has the Stab ability which you have seen in other rods as well. This makes reeling in fishes slightly easier, because it increases progress by 6%.
Best Enchantments for the Free Spirit Rod
Resilient or the better Mystical will help with the Resilience of this rod and if you’re not happy with the Lure Speed, you need Swift or Hasty. Since it has limited weight capacity, go for Herculean or Unbreakable to catch bigger fish.
That’s all for this one! The Second Sea has multiple new rods that can be added to your inventory—here’s how to get the Azure of Lagoon, Blazebringer, Verdant Shear and Great Dreamer rods in Fisch.
