How to Obtain the Auric Rod in Fisch
The only method of acquiring the Auric Rod is by finding a Sunken Chest. These chests appear randomly near any island in the Ocean and can only be opened once. When you receive a chat notification indicating that a Sunken Chest has spawned near a specific island, quickly board your fastest boat and head there before others. However, there is no guarantee that you will find the Auric Rod as it only has a 0.25% chance of appearing in a Normal Sunken Chest and a 2.50% chance in a Mythic one.
The standout feature of the Auric Rod is that every fish caught using it has the potential to exhibit a mutation, ranging from Aurous (2x), Aurelian (3x), Aureate (4x), Aurulent (5x), or Aureolin (5x). Given that the benefit is not simply whether a mutation occurs, but rather the magnitude of the mutation received, this rod is highly effective for generating income. Moreover, obtaining the Auric Rod does not require a hefty investment, making it accessible to new players who possess a bit of luck and good timing.

Top Enchantments for the Auric Rod
Considering the modest nature of its stats, you can enhance the Auric Rod with the Hasty enchantment for quicker lure speed, boost luck with Divine, or increase maximum weight with Unbreakable. If you manage to obtain the Exalted Relic, it offers additional enchantments like Sea Overload (+25% Fish size), Immortal (+75% Luck), and Mystical (+45% Resilience).
