Fisch Cupid’s Embrace Rod Crafting Ingredients
The Cupid’s Embrace Rod is only obtainable through crafting in the Ancient Archives in Fisch. But before you can craft it, you will need some materials. Here is the list of items you need to craft the rod, along with the tips to find them:
- Cupid’s Handle (1x): To get the Cupid’s Handle, you need to complete the Sweetheart Sam quest in Fisch. It requires a duo to start the quest. Once done, as a duo, find all the candles and lanterns from the Valentine’s island. Then catch the Box of Chocolates, and both players must hold it near the wishing well. This will spawn the Love Letter Pike in the wishing well. Catch it and return the pike to Sam NPC to get Cupid’s Handle.
- Cupid’s Core (1x): Similar to the handle, Cupid’s Core is also available from the Sweetheart Sam NPC. Instead of the Love Letter Pike, catch 10 limited Lovestorm fish and one Lovestorm Turtle. Return them to Sam and get Cupid’s Core.
- Sweet Lovestorm Turtle (1x): Use the Valentine’s Relic in Fisch on a rod and catch the Lovestorm Turtle to get the Sweet mutation. Alternatively, you can appraise a Lovestorm Turtle to get it.

How to Obtain Cupid’s Embrace Rod in Fisch
After collecting all the materials, you can go to the Ancient Archives and craft the rod. If you are not familiar with the crafting area, go to the Ancient Isle and enter the cave behind the waterfall. You can also use the GPS in Fisch and go to these coordinates: 5870, 160, 415.
Once inside the archives, walk toward the Crafting Anvil at the end of the room. Hold the ‘E’ key to open the crafting rods menu. Select the Cupid’s Embrace Rod and click the Craft button to obtain it in Fisch. You will also need 15,000C$, along with the crafting materials.
Cupid’s Embrace Rod Stats in Fisch
The Cupid’s Embrace Rod is undoubtedly one of the strongest rods in Fisch. It comes with amazing base stats. Whether you want to catch a big creature or you are just making quick money, the Luck and Lure Speed balances out with the Control bar. However, the Resilience is slightly low, which can be easily fixed with baits or enchantments in Fisch.
That said, here are the stats of the Cupid’s Embrace Rod:
- Lure Speed: 70%
- Luck: 214%
- Control: 0.1
- Resilience: 14%
- Max Kg: 225,000kg
The stats on Cupid’s Embrace are not that great. However, luck makes sure you get a lot of good catches. You will still need some solid enchantments to make the resilience and control better. Despite that, the passive is what makes this rod interesting. It gives a 25 percent chance to get Embrace mutation. While you use this rod, progress speed slowly decreases and resilience increases.
Moreover, if you are using the Cupid’s Embrace rod near another person who is using this rod, you get special perks. It improves the chance of getting the mutation and boosts the stats.
Best Enchants for Fisch Cupid’s Embrace Rod
The base stats of Cupid’s Embrace Rod are decent, but the Resilience is not good enough to catch late-game fishes. That is why we suggest using enchant relics or cosmic relics and giving the rod a good enchantment. You can put Fisch Enchantments depending on your need, but we recommend some control and resilience-improving enchantments.
- Mystical: +25% Luck, +45% Resilience, +15% Lure Speed, and +10% Progress Speed
- Quality: +15% Luck, +5% Resilience, +15% Lure Speed, and +5% Progress Speed
- Herculean: +25,000 Max Kg, +0.2 Control, +10% Progress Speed
- Piercing: Gains the ability to stab the fish while reeling and +15% Progress Speed
That is how you unlock the Cupid’s Embrace Rod in Fisch. So, have you tried catching any Special fish with this rod? Let us know in the comments below.
No. Both Cupid’s Handle and Cupid’s Core require the Sweetheart Sam quest, which can only be started and completed as a duo. You need another player for every step tied to Sam.
Yes, but only if you invest in enchantments. Its raw stats are uneven, yet the very high Luck and the Embrace mutation passive make it excellent for rare catches and event farming once Resilience and Control are patched up.
