How to Wish for Rods in Fisch: Full Quest Guide

The Skycrest Update in Fisch adds a new wishing system that lets players choose a rod they want to obtain. However, you cannot immediately walk up to the wish NPC and pick a rod. You first need to travel through the new area, complete several trials, and unlock the ability to make a wish. This guide covers the full process, including where to go, how to complete every trial, how the wishing system works, and which rods are worth considering when you finally get the chance to make your wish.

How to Start the Wish Quest

How to Wish for Rods in Fisch: Full Quest Guide

To begin, travel to Fish Fest after entering the Skycrest Update content. From the teleport location, head down toward the water and use a boat if you have access to one. From there, travel in the direction of the large island in the sky. You should be able to spot the island because it has a large waterfall coming down from it. Continue toward this location until you reach the area where the new quest NPCs are located.

Once you arrive, look around the area for the NPCs connected to the new wishing trials. It is also a good idea to pick up the nearby quest that asks you to remain still for 60 seconds, since one of the requirements can be completed alongside the wish progression.

Complete the 60-Second Standing Quest

One of the nearby NPCs gives you a simple task that requires you to stand still for 60 seconds. Accept the quest, but do not immediately move around. Stay in the required area for the full 60 seconds until the objective is completed.

Afterward, speak with the NPC again. This will move the quest forward and eventually introduce the series of trials you need to complete before you can make a wish.

Complete the Five Trials

The next stage involves completing several trials. Each one gives you a different objective, and you need to work through them before reaching the wishing NPC. Some objectives involve fishing for specific creatures, while others require you to use special movement equipment. The trials are not all completed in the same location, so be prepared to travel between different parts of Fisch.

Here is what you need to complete:

• Obtain a Rose Veiled Fairy or Vamp Fairy.
• Catch a Sailfish during Windy weather.
• Catch a Gustier Breeze African Butterfly.
• Maintain maximum Hang Glider velocity for 5 seconds.
• Catch a Wyvern in under 20 seconds.

Trial 1: Obtain a Rose Veiled Fairy or Vamp Fairy

The first fishing-related trial requires you to obtain either a Rose Veiled Fairy or a Vamp Fairy.

You only need one of these creatures, so you do not have to collect both. Keep fishing in the appropriate area until one of the required Fairy variants appears.

The exact time required can vary depending on your luck, so simply continue fishing until the objective registers as complete.

Trial 2: Catch a Sailfish During Windy Weather

The next objective asks you to catch a Sailfish while the weather is Windy.

Because the weather condition matters, you need to wait for Windy weather or use the appropriate weather-changing method if available. Once the condition is active, travel to a suitable fishing location and catch a Sailfish.

You can complete this fairly quickly when the correct weather is active. Make sure the weather is actually registered as Windy before starting the fishing attempt.

Trial 3: Catch a Gustier Breeze African Butterfly

The third trial requires a Gustier Breeze African Butterfly.

This one can take longer than the Sailfish objective because the required catch is more specific. Use a suitable rod and fish in the correct area until you obtain the Gustier Breeze African Butterfly.

Once the catch is registered, return to the trial NPC to continue the questline.

Trial 4: Reach Maximum Hang Glider Velocity

The fourth trial is different because it does not involve fishing.

You need to maintain the maximum velocity of a Hang Glider for 5 seconds.

Make your way to the top of Gracial Glott and prepare your Hang Glider. Be careful not to confuse the normal Glider with the Hang Glider, as the quest specifically requires the Hang Glider.

Once you reach maximum velocity, maintain it for five seconds. After successfully completing the requirement, return to the quest NPC.

Trial 5: Catch a Wyvern in Under 20 Seconds

The final trial requires you to catch a Wyvern in less than 20 seconds.

This is one of the more challenging objectives because you have a very short time limit. Prepare your fishing setup before attempting it so you do not waste time after starting the trial.

Once the Wyvern appears, focus on catching it as quickly as possible. You need to finish the catch before the 20-second limit expires.

After catching the Wyvern within the required time, return to the NPC and complete the final part of the trial questline.

How to Make a Wish

After completing all of the required trials, you can finally move on to the wishing system.

Head toward the designated wish location and speak with the wish NPC. You should receive an option to tell the NPC that you are ready to make a wish.

Select the option to make a wish, and the game will open the available choices.

The important part is that the wish system allows you to choose from eligible rods rather than simply giving you a completely random rod. This makes the system especially useful for players who are missing a specific limited or difficult-to-obtain rod.

How the Rod Wish Works

When you interact with the wishing NPC, you can select one of the available rods.

However, there are restrictions on some choices. Certain rods may require you to wait before they can be obtained through the wishing system, while others may have additional requirements.

The available list can also depend on the rods you already own. This is why some players may see fewer options than others.

Before making your selection, check the entire list carefully. A wish can be extremely valuable, so you should avoid spending it on a rod that is easy to obtain through normal gameplay.

What Rod Should You Wish For?

The best choice depends on what rods you already own and what type of fishing you want to focus on.

Among the options discussed for the Skycrest Update, ASTRAEUS SERENADE stands out as a particularly strong choice. It has excellent fishing performance and can make catching fish much faster when its special effects activate.

The rod also has a large fishing bar, which makes it easier to control catches. Its additional star effects can further improve the speed of the fishing process.

If ASTRAEUS SERENADE is available to you and you do not already own it, it can be one of the strongest ways to use your wish.

Other Rods Worth Considering

ASTRAEUS SERENADE is not the only rod worth looking at. Your choice should depend on your current collection and what you need.

Some other rods mentioned as possible choices include:

• Crystallis — A strong option for players who care about Shiny and Sparkling fish.
• Wingripper — Useful if you want a very fast fishing rod.
• Lullabi — Another rod worth considering depending on its availability and your current collection.
• ASTRAEUS SERENADE — A strong overall choice with excellent fishing performance.

Before choosing, compare the rod’s actual usefulness with what you already have. A powerful rod is not necessarily the best wish if you already own something that fills the same role.

Should You Wish for Polaris Serenade?

Polaris Serenade may also attract attention because of its popularity, but it is worth thinking carefully before using your wish on it.

If you already have access to other strong rods, Polaris Serenade may not provide as much practical value as some of the alternatives. Its popularity does not automatically mean it is the best choice for every player.

Instead of choosing a rod simply because it is highly requested, look at its actual stats, abilities, and how often you expect to use it.

ASTRAEUS SERENADE vs Other Wish Options

If you are deciding between several strong rods, consider what each one adds to your collection.

• ASTRAEUS SERENADE is appealing because of its overall fishing performance and special star effects. It can make fishing feel much faster and is particularly useful for players who want a strong general-purpose rod.
• Crystallis can be a better choice for players focused on Shiny and Sparkling catches.
• Meanwhile, Wingripper is worth considering if speed is your main priority.

The best choice ultimately comes down to which rod fills a gap in your current inventory rather than simply picking whichever one has the most hype.

Tips Before Making Your Wish

Because the wish is a valuable opportunity, take some time before confirming your selection.

Keep these tips in mind:

• Check which rods you already own.
• Look through every available wish option.
• Prioritize rods that are difficult to obtain normally.
• Consider whether the rod has a unique ability.
• Do not choose a rod only because it is popular.
• Compare the rod with your current best fishing setup.
• Check whether the rod has an additional waiting period.
• Save the wish for a rod that will actually improve your gameplay.

The wishing system is especially useful for filling a major gap in your collection, so rushing the decision can leave you with a rod you rarely use.

The Skycrest Update’s wishing system gives Fisch players another way to obtain powerful or limited rods, but you have to earn access to it first. Start by traveling from Fish Fest toward the floating island, complete the initial quest, and then work through the five trials.

The most important objectives include obtaining the required Fairy, catching a Sailfish during Windy weather, finding the Gustier Breeze African Butterfly, using the Hang Glider at maximum speed, and catching a Wyvern in under 20 seconds.

Once all of the trials are finished, you can visit the wish NPC and choose from the available rods. If ASTRAEUS SERENADE is available and you do not already own it, it is one of the strongest choices to consider. Otherwise, Crystallis, Wingripper, or another rod that fills a specific need in your collection may be the better option.
