🧬Mutation Types
| Mutation | Multiplier | Visual Cue | Rarity |

| Golden | 3x | Gold shimmer | Uncommon (~5%) |
| Crystalline | 5x | Crystal texture | Rare (~2%) |
| Abyssal | 8.5x | Dark purple glow | Very Rare (~0.5%) |
🎯Farming Strategy
- Complete Scientist quest for Mutation Scanner
- Target high-value fish (Ancient Shark, rare species)
- Use Scanner to identify mutations before engaging
- Skip non-mutated fish if you're specifically mutation farming
- Focus on Abyssal mutations for maximum profit
An Abyssal Ancient Shark is worth 8.5x base price. One catch can be worth $40,000+.
