How to Get Withered
The cheap way is the Decayed Rod: 2,000 C$ in the Toxic Grove, with Withered on 10% of catches. Spear fishers get 25% from the Withered Spear, 1,750,000 C$ in Tidefall once its bestiary is 100% complete.
Withered multiplies a fish's sell value by 9.5x: a fish worth 1,000 C$ sells for 9,500 C$ with it. That is higher than 328 of the other 355 mutations with a fixed multiplier.
