The Shiny Turkey is one of the most sought-after variants in Fisch’s Thanksgiving update. Since shiny versions boost value and are required for certain event rewards, many players are now trying to figure out how to get one fast. This guide covers how shiny odds work, every tool that boosts your chances, and what the Shiny Turkey is actually used for in the event. Also check out our Fisch Codes for more rewards!
What Makes a Turkey “Shiny”?
A shiny is a special attribute that changes the creature’s color and increases its sell value by 1.85x. This applies to every fish and event creature that can roll as shiny, including the event turkeys. Your Bestiary automatically tracks the date you first catch a shiny version of each entry, so you’ll always know when you got your first shiny turkey.
How to Get a Shiny Turkey & Fish Location!
- Maple Meadow Island
- Anywhere the Quest NPC told you to fish – Guide
Shiny turkeys follow the same shiny system as normal fish. That means they can appear naturally while fishing or through appraisal. Below is every method currently known to boost shiny chances.
Base Chances
- 1% chance to roll shiny from fishing or appraisal.
Mini-Events and Surges
- Shiny Mini-Event: +0.1% chance (applies only to fishing).
- Shiny Surge: +3% chance during the surge window.
Enchantments That Increase Shiny Odds
- Blessed Enchantment: +5% shiny roll chance.
- Glittered Secondary Enchantment: +3% shiny roll chance.
Tools and Weapons With Shiny Passives
These items have built-in shiny bonuses when equipped or used:
- Destiny Rod – +10% shiny chance.
- Seraphic Rod – +8% shiny chance (only after completing Perfection of the Skies mastery).
- Axe of Rhoads – +5% shiny chance.
- Polaris Serenade (Passive) – +3% shiny chance.
- Chrysalis (Passive) – +20% shiny chance.
If you have any of these rods or weapons, your shiny odds increase dramatically, making shiny turkeys far easier to get.
Best Method to Farm a Shiny Turkey
To improve your chances, follow this setup:
- Use a rod with the highest shiny boost you own (Chrysalis > Destiny Rod > Seraphic Rod > Axe of Rhoads).
- Add Blessed or Glittered enchantments if possible. Fish during a Shiny Surge for a significant bonus.
- Stay in the correct turkey location (each turkey is tied to the island where its associated quest fish normally spawns).
- Appraise any turkey you catch to get an extra shiny roll.
With all bonuses stacked, shiny rolls can exceed 40%, making shiny turkeys much more common.
What Is the Shiny Turkey Used For?
During the Fischgiving event:
- Turning one in unlocks special rewards, including exclusive seasonal cosmetics like the Gravy Boat.
- Shiny turkeys also sell for much more thanks to the 1.85x value multiplier, making them a solid money farm if you don’t need the event rewards anymore.
Once the event ends, shiny turkeys remain collectible for value and Bestiary completion.
Getting a Shiny Turkey is all about stacking shiny bonuses and fishing in the right location. With the right rod, the right enchantments, and a bit of luck during shiny surges, you’ll eventually land the shiny variant needed for the event reward. If you’re completing the Fischgiving quests or just finishing your Bestiary, this shiny is one of the most valuable catches of the update in Fisch.
