Complete Mutations Guide — Every Mutation Type in Fisch Roblox
Verified from wiki data · August 2026Mutations are powerful modifiers that change a fish's appearance and dramatically increase its sell value. Understanding how mutations work — and how to farm them — is the key to maximizing your C$/hour in Fisch Roblox.
How Mutations Work
When you catch a fish in Fisch, it has a chance to spawn with a mutation. Mutations modify the fish's sell value by applying a multiplier to its base price. The mutation system has two layers:
Example: A base 10,000 C$ fish with Atlantean (4x) + Shiny (1.85x) + Sparkling (1.85x) = 10,000 × 4 × 1.85 × 1.85 = 136,900 C$. That's nearly 14x the base value from stacking alone.
Mutation Multiplier Table
All known mutations ranked by their sell value multiplier. Higher is better for profit.
| Mutation | Multiplier | Source | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Atlantean | 4.0x | Trident Rod, Abyssal enchant | Best overall — highest multiplier |
| Golden | 3.0x | Golden Rod, Golden Hour weather | Easier to farm than Atlantean |
| Phantom | 2.5x | Phantom Rod, Eclipse weather | Stacks with dark-themed fish |
| Wrath | 2.5x | Wrath Rod, Blood Moon weather | Aggressive visual effect |
| Sunken | 2.0x | Deep sea locations, Appraisal | Common in deep-sea zones |
| Purified | 2.0x | Appraisal only | Cannot be caught directly |
| Crimson | 2.0x | Appraisal, Blood Moon | Red visual overlay |
| Frozen | 1.75x | Ice locations, Blizzard weather | Common at Snowcap, Frostbite |
| Mosaic | 1.5x | Random, low chance | Multicolor pattern — purely cosmetic bonus |
Attributes — Shiny, Sparkling, Glitched & Size
Attributes are separate from mutations and stack multiplicatively. A single fish can be Shiny + Sparkling + have a mutation simultaneously.
Value-Affecting Attributes
| Attribute | Multiplier | Base Chance | How to Boost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shiny | 1.85x | ~1% | Destiny Rod (+10%), Blessed enchant (+5%), Shiny Surge weather |
| Sparkling | 1.85x | ~0.5% | Stacks with Shiny. Same boost sources apply. |
| Glitched | 0x (joke) | Extremely rare | Purely cosmetic trophy — sells for 0 C$ |

How to Get Mutations
Mutations come from four main sources: rod passives, enchantments, weather events, and the Appraiser NPC. Here's the full breakdown.
Rod Passives
Certain rods have built-in mutation chances as passive abilities:
| Rod | Passive | Mutation |
|---|---|---|
| Trident Rod | 30% chance | Atlantean |
| Destiny Rod | +10% Shiny chance | Shiny (attribute) |
| Golden Rod | 25% chance | Golden |
| Phantom Rod | 20% chance | Phantom |
| Wrath Rod | 20% chance | Wrath |
| Frozen Rod | 15% chance | Frozen |
Enchantments
Enchantments add mutation chances on top of rod passives. Apply them at the Enchanter NPC:
| Enchantment | Effect | Target Mutation |
|---|---|---|
| Abyssal | +20% Atlantean chance | Atlantean |
| Blessed | +5% Shiny chance | Shiny (attribute) |
| Gilded | +15% Golden chance | Golden |
| Spectral | +10% Phantom chance | Phantom |
| Frigid | +10% Frozen chance | Frozen |
Weather Events
Weather conditions can boost or guarantee certain mutations:
Totems & Appraisal
Totems are consumable items that boost specific mutation chances when activated at a fishing spot. They last for a set duration and affect all catches during that window.
Appraisal (via the Appraiser NPC) is the only way to obtain Purified and some Crimson/Sunken mutations. You submit a caught fish and it has a chance to return with a mutation applied. Higher rarity fish have better appraisal odds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best mutation in Fisch?
Atlantean at 4x multiplier is the highest value mutation. Combined with Shiny + Sparkling attributes, a single fish can reach 13.69x its base value.
Can mutations stack with each other?
No — only one mutation per fish. However, attributes (Shiny, Sparkling) are separate and DO stack with your one mutation. So you can have an "Atlantean Shiny Sparkling Giant Megalodon" but not an "Atlantean Golden Megalodon."
How do I get Shiny fish?
Shiny has a base ~1% chance. Boost it with: Destiny Rod (+10%), Blessed enchantment (+5%), and Shiny Surge weather. During Shiny Surge, rates spike dramatically — don't miss these windows.
Is the Glitched attribute worth anything?
No. Glitched fish sell for 0 C$ — it's a joke/trophy attribute. Extremely rare but intentionally worthless. Keep them for bragging rights in your Bestiary.
