Where to Find Advanced Fishing Rod (Depresso)

Schematics That Unlock Advanced Fishing Rod (Depresso)
Advanced Fishing Rod (Depresso) is not learned from the Technology tree — you need a schematic for it. One schematic grants the recipe, and they are world loot — chests, boss Pals and the late-game pools — rather than anything you research. Higher-rarity copies of the same schematic raise the quality of what you end up crafting.
Fastest route. The top-tier Advanced Fishing Rod (Depresso) schematic is worth hunting directly — sea base enemy camp boss stashes in the Snowfields is its best source, at roughly 1 containers a copy. Schematics fuse five-to-one, so a lower tier with better odds can beat the top tier outright. Counts are containers of that source, not time.
