Complete Fisch Second Sea Progression Guide [Best Rods, Farming Locations, & More]

Author: Unknown Author Update Time: 2025-03-30

The Second Sea gives you a fresh start and brings back that exquisite feeling of early-day Fisch grinding. However, the rod progression and best farming locations aren't as intuitive as they used to be in the First Sea. So, to help you, here is our complete Fisch Second Sea progression guide.

Fisch Second Sea Best Rod & Island Progression

To enter the Second Sea, you'll first have to be Level 200+, which means you will have a fair amount of hours in Fisch already and a few good rods, hopefully. The First Sea rods are the ones you want to be using in the Second Sea as well, despite their 50% lower stats and Lure Speed set to 1%. They are just better than the Second Sea ones.

You can find all the info on the best First Sea rods for the Second Sea at the end of the article. In case you don't have any of the top-tier First Sea rods and don't know where to farm, here is the best Second Sea rod and island progression:

  1. Enter the Second Sea and start fishing with your First Sea rod at Waveborne or in the Open Ocean until you save up 70-100k E$.
    • Do not use the Adventurer's Rod; it's garbage.
    • Do not buy any of the Waveborne rods (Wildflower, Firefly, Frog), as all of their stats are probably not as good as the First Sea rod you already have.
    • The Frog Rod might be viable if you have something as bad as the Aurora Rod from the First Sea. Still, it's 650kg weight limit basically forces you to fish only at Pine Shoals, which is one of the worst farming locations in the Second Sea in general.
  1. Buy either the Blazebringer Rod (70k E$) or the Verdant Shear Rod (100k E$) and continue farming in the Open Ocean.
    • Check out our Second Sea rod locations list for info on where to get the rods.
    • Enchant the Blazebringer Rod with Resilient in the First Sea to make it's passive viable.
    • Hasty is probably the best enchant for the Verdant Shear Rod.
  1. Continue farming around all the islands until you save up 200k E$, and then buy the Free Spirit Rod (you'll need more than 70% Second Sea bestiary completion as well).
    • Free Spirit Rod is the best money-making Second Sea rod right now.
    • Enchant it with Hasty or Abyssal for better money-making.
  2. (Optional) Continue farming and buy the Great Dreamer Rod (500k E$).
    • This rod has fairly bad stats, and unless it gets a buff, it's hardly worth the grind.

Best Locations for Farming Money & EXP in the Second Sea

The best money and EXP farming location in the Second Sea right now is the Open Ocean. It has plenty of high-weight, expensive fish, including the ~4,000kg Sea Leviathan, which sells for ~14,000 E$. Other good farming spots are The Cursed Shores, Waveborne, and Isle of New Beginnings.

Best First Sea Rods to Use in the Second Sea in Fisch

The best rods to use in the Second Sea are actually the OP ones you can get in the First Sea. The Lure Speed of all First Sea Rods while in the Second Sea is set to 1%, and all other stats are 50% lower, except for enchant buffs, which are 100% effective.

So, the best rods are the ones that have the best possible other stats except for Lure Speed and a solid money-making passive. In the table below, we compiled a list of the best First Sea rods to use in the Second Sea, including their pros and cons.
