Fish inside the Cursed Storm pool — roughly a 5–8% chance per catch during the storm. Storms spawn rarely at day-start during the Cults Curse event, or force one with a Cursed Storm Totem.

How to get the Cursed mutation

The whole process.

  1. 1
    Get a Cursed Storm running

    It can auto-spawn at the start of a day during the Cults Curse limited event, or trigger one yourself with a Cursed Storm Totem (Sundial Totems end storms early — don't stack them).

  2. 2
    Find the pool

    A server notification announces the Cursed Storm Pool near a random island — go there, not just anywhere.

  3. 3
    Fish the pool

    All catches in the pool get double XP and about a 5–8% shot at the Cursed mutation.

  4. 4
    Fish until it ends

    The storm lasts the rest of the day — there's no end warning, so keep casting.

What Cursed does

The numbers.

Cursed multiplies a fish's sell value by 4× (raised from 1× in v1.58) and tints it turquoise. It is not appraisable. Note: community reports say the multiplier has intermittently bugged to 1× — check before grinding for profit.

FAQ

Can I get Cursed after the event ends?
Totems obtained during the event still work afterwards — that's the only remaining route once Cults Curse closes.
Is Cursed better than Crimsonwrath?
Crimsonwrath (8×) beats Cursed (4×) on value, but Cursed is far easier to obtain — storm-fishing is free, Crimsonwrath is Black Market.
How to get cursed mutation in fisch without a totem?
Wait for a natural Cursed Storm during the event window — day-start spawns are rare, so totem farming is the reliable path.
