Stuck on the first task of Dr. Anton’s rod quest? I tracked down the Power Source in Fisch. It’s sold at Sophisticated Glorp’s Shop in Roslit Bay for 55 Glorp Bux, and you earn that currency by selling Gleebous-mutated fish. It’s the key item for the D.R.E.D-7 rod quest from the Venue Encore update. The shop won’t sell it until you meet two requirements, so here’s the quick version first.

Requirements Before You Start
I’d check these before farming anything, because they block the purchase.
- Level: Beebom’s Power Source guide says Level 800. Its newer Glorp’s Shop guide says Level 888. I aim for 888 to be safe. If you’re short, level up fast in Fisch first.
- Active quest: Talk to Dr. Anton at the Underground Music Venue and accept the D.R.E.D-7 rod quest. Without it, the Power Source purchase option never appears.
- Venue access: The venue is hidden in Crystal Cove. Place a Chaotic Enchant Relic on the pedestal, then drop into the pit behind it.
Step-by-Step: Get the Power Source
- Reach the level requirement.
- Open the Underground Music Venue and activate Dr. Anton’s D.R.E.D-7 quest.
- Equip your GPS and travel to -1716.2, 155.0, 502.7 in Roslit Bay. It’s just right of where you’d get the Blade of Glorp rod.
- Catch Gleebous-mutated fish (see the farming section below).
- Talk to Sophisticated Glorp and choose “Sell my Gleebous fish”.
- Repeat until you have 55 Glorp Bux. Payout depends on fish rarity and weight, so big catches speed this up.
- Choose “Show me your shop”, select Power Source, then confirm Purchase.
- Take it back to Dr. Anton and carry on with the D.R.E.D-7 quest.
How to Farm Gleebous Fish Fast?
Gleebous is an 8x value mutation, and you can’t get it through the Appraiser. You catch it by fishing in the Gleebous pools around Roslit Bay, near the UFO crash site.
- Equip a Fish Radar to spot the pools. Cast only inside the highlighted abundance area.
- Use the Blade of Glorp rod if you own it. It boosts your Gleebous chance a lot.
- If you don’t have that rod, put the Mutated enchantment on your best rod and pop a Mutation Totem before you fish.
- Don’t chase a particular fish. Gleebous is a mutation, so it can land on any species.
Since the mutation makes each fish worth 8x, one or two rare or heavy Gleebous catches can cover a big chunk of the 55 Bux.
Other Items in Glorp’s Shop (Don’t Spend Your Bux Yet)
I learned this one the hard way: the shop sells tempting extras, so buy the Power Source first.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Power Source | 55 Glorp Bux |
| Disturbance Catalyst | 215 Glorp Bux |
| Rainbow Totem | 665 Glorp Bux |
| Eclipse Totem | 800 Glorp Bux |
| Alien Nico Skin | 3,000 Glorp Bux |
Beebom notes the shop stock rotates daily, so if you can’t see something, check back later.
Troubleshooting: Can’t Buy the Power Source?
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Shop won’t open | Level up. Glorp’s Shop is listed at Level 888. |
| Purchase option missing | Activate Dr. Anton’s D.R.E.D-7 quest in the Underground Music Venue. |
| Can’t sell fish | Only Gleebous fish count. Normal fish don’t work. |
| Not enough Bux | You need exactly 55. Keep selling Gleebous catches. |
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Farming before activating the quest. Activate the quest first or you’ll waste the whole session.
- Selling the wrong mutation. Some guides misprint the name as “Gibbus”. The correct mutation is Gleebous.
- Spending Glorp Bux on totems or skins before you’ve bought the Power Source.
- Fishing outside the pools. Stay inside the radar’s highlighted area.
Pro Tip
I stack my luck before every farming session: Mutated enchant, Mutation Totem and a rod with strong luck. If you’re also working on rods.
