In the captivating world of Fisch, only a handful of fishing rods are freely obtainable through quests. The Tides of Gold update introduced a new free rod, the Rod of the Exalted One, but don't let the "free" label fool you. Unlocking it demands significant time and resources, requiring several uniquely mutated items.
Finding The Keeper's Secret in Fisch

Navigate to the island, heading straight from the Shipwright NPC. Upon reaching the high rocks, turn left. You'll spot a darker, subtly different-looking fake wall. Walk through it carefully; the cave beyond is small, containing only an elevator and a perilous shaft. Avoid falling into the shaft by cautiously entering the elevator. Reaching the bottom will lead you to The Keeper's Secret, where seven color-coded pedestals await.

The most efficient method involves purchasing these Relics from the Merlin NPC and appraising them during the Mutation Surge event—a process requiring considerable investment.
