This charm is created by bonding Charmbits with Scrap Metal to forge a mighty anchor that increases the stability of a trap's weapon, providing a significant power bonus. The anchor also prevents being washed out of Balack's Cove when capturing a Riptide Mouse and reduces your movement speed underwater when armed during a dive at the Sunken City.

Location-Specific Effects

When used in Balack's Cove at Medium or High Tide, the Empowered Anchor Charm keeps the hunter in the area instead of being washed to the Jungle of Dread when catching a Riptide Mouse.

When an Empowered Anchor Charm is used in the Sunken City during a Dive, the hunter's progress slows to 10 meters per hunt instead of the usual 30 meters per catch, allowing a hunter to stay in a zone for a longer time. This can be used to take advantage of zones with better loot.
