As someone who’s spent countless hours exploring every corner of Fisch’s beautiful world, I can tell you that the Valentine’s event has completely transformed the game experience. When I first heard about the Valentides update, I was excited but had no idea just how deep the rabbit hole would go. Today, I’m going to share everything I’ve learned about obtaining these coveted Valentine’s Relics – including some secrets I discovered through trial and error that most guides miss.
Valentine’s Relics are special enchantment items introduced during the limited-time Valentides event (February 7-21, 2026). These relics aren’t just cosmetic items – they’re game-changers that can dramatically boost your fishing efficiency with unique enchantments. There are two main relics you’ll want to get your hands on: the Cupid’s Relic and the Valentine’s Relic.
What makes these relics so special is their ability to grant exclusive mutations and stat bonuses that you can’t get anywhere else in the game. Trust me, once you experience the power of catching fish with 7x or 8x multipliers, you’ll wonder how you ever played without them.
Let me be honest – I wasn’t sure what to expect from a Valentine’s themed fishing event. But after spending days exploring Sweetheart Shores, I’m completely hooked. The attention to detail is incredible, from the romantic atmosphere to the clever quest design. What really impressed me was how the event encourages both solo and cooperative play through the Duo Quest system.
The best part? Unlike some events that feel like pure grinding, the Valentine’s event actually tells a story and creates memorable moments. I still remember the first time I discovered the secret Behind Waterfall area – it felt like uncovering a hidden treasure that most players would miss.
First things first – you need to access the event area. Head to Moosewood Island and look for the pink heart portal near the Shipwright. This portal transports you to Sweetheart Shores, the main hub for all Valentine’s activities.
Method 1: Direct Purchase (15,000 Chocolates) The straightforward approach is to buy Cupid’s Relic from Shopkeeper Tom in the main shop area. While 15,000 Chocolates might seem steep, I found this method reliable and fast if you’re sitting on a good chocolate reserve.
Method 2: Secret Fishing Spot (My Recommended Approach) Here’s the secret most guides don’t tell you: head to the top of the mountain on Sweetheart Shores. You can reach this by swimming up the waterfall. At the top, you’ll find a pond beside a pink hut where Cupid’s Relics spawn abundantly. I recommend using your fish radar to locate this area precisely, and don’t forget to bring your best fishing rod and some Aurora totems to maximize your catch rate.
The Valentine’s Relic is more elusive and expensive at 35,000 Chocolates. You’ll find it in the Behind Waterfall secret area – simply swim through the waterfall near the Wishing Well to discover a hidden cave. The relic is located behind a tree inside this cave.
Pro tip: Unlike Cupid’s Relic, there’s currently no known abundance spot for Valentine’s Relics, so you’ll need to purchase this one or get lucky with the Wishing Well.
One feature I absolutely love is the Wishing Well, located northwest of the spawn point. You can make a wish once per day for a chance at various rewards, including both relics. Here are the drop rates:
While the odds aren’t amazing, I’ve gotten lucky a few times, and it’s worth checking daily. Plus, you can get useful buffs like +50% Lure Speed or +50% Luck.
If you’re playing on February 14th or 15th, make sure you have a Duo partner and speak with Cupid Carl. You’ll receive:
This is by far the fastest way to get both relics, so plan accordingly if you can play during these dates.
After extensive testing with both relics, here’s my breakdown:
Cupid Enchantment:
Valentine Enchantment:
My Recommendation: If you’re focused on speed and consistency, go with Cupid’s Relic. If you want higher profit potential and don’t mind some RNG, Valentine’s Relic is your best bet. Personally, I use both on different rods for different situations.
To afford these relics quickly, you’ll need an efficient chocolate farming method. Here are my top strategies:
Through my experience, I’ve seen many players make these mistakes:
Once you have both relics, the real fun begins. I recommend enchanting your highest-tier rods first – the Rose Rod from the event shop is perfect for this. Consider having one rod with each enchantment to cover different fishing scenarios.

The Valentine’s event in Fisch is truly something special, and these relics are worth the effort to obtain. Whether you’re a casual player or a dedicated angler, the power and convenience they provide will enhance your entire Fisch experience. Don’t wait too long – the clock is ticking on this limited-time event, and you won’t want to miss out on these incredible enchantments.
Happy fishing, and may your catches be multiplied!
