How to Get Cupid’s Bow in Fisch?
To get your hands on the Cupid’s Bow, you need to complete a specific questline introduced in the Valentides update. Unlike some rods that you can simply buy with money (C$), this one requires exploration and a bit of scavenger hunting. Below is the exact process I used to unlock it in under 30 minutes.
Prerequisites Before You Start
There isn’t a strict level requirement to start the Cupid quest, but you will have a much easier time if you meet these conditions:
- Access to a Boat: You cannot swim to the event island. I recommend using a basic Kayak at minimum, but a faster boat like the Sleek Yacht will save you significant travel time.
- Basic Level: While you can start the quest at level 1, having a decent level ensures you can travel between islands without being instantly defeated by hostile sea creatures if you stray too far.
- Time: The scavenger hunt portion can take anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes depending on your familiarity with the map.
Step 1: Finding the Isle of Love
The first step is locating the event area. The developers have introduced a temporary island specifically for the Valentides event, known as the Isle of Love.
- Spawn at Moosewood: Head to the main spawn area, Moosewood.
- Check Your Map: Open your in-game map. You will see a new island marked with a distinct pink/heart icon, usually located to the north-east of the main archipelago.
- Navigate: Set sail towards the island. The water around the Isle of Love will have a distinct pink hue, making it easy to spot from a distance.
Pro Tip: If you are low on cash and can’t afford a boat repair, stick to the coastlines as much as possible to avoid the deep-sea monsters that can capsize cheaper vessels.
Step 2: Locating the NPC Cupid
Once you dock at the Isle of Love, look for the NPC named Cupid. He is hard to miss—he wears a traditional toga and has large, glowing wings.
- Location: He is usually found near the center of the island, often standing on a raised platform or under a large heart-shaped archway.
- Visual Cue: Look for a glowing pink exclamation mark (!) above his head, indicating he has a quest available.
Step 3: The “Arrows of Love” Quest
When you interact with Cupid, he will explain that he has lost his Arrows of Love. He needs you to retrieve 3 Arrows that have been scattered across different islands in the Fisch map.
This is where the real challenge begins. You will need to travel to three separate locations to find these arrows. Based on my experience and the latest community data from March 2026, here is where you need to go.
Arrow Location 1: Roslit Bay
The first arrow is usually found in the Roslit Bay area.
- Where to look: Head towards the Roslit Bay pond area (near where you would catch the Emperor Squirrelfish).
- Specific Spot: Look behind the large rock formation near the waterfall. The arrow will be sticking out of the ground, glowing pink.
Arrow Location 2: Moosewood (Behind the Merchant)
The developers like to hide things in plain sight.
- Where to look: You actually need to go back to Moosewood (spawn).
- Specific Spot: Go to the Merchant shop (where you sell fish). Walk around to the back of the building, between the crates and the wall. The arrow is hidden there.
Arrow Location 3: Ancient Isles (Vertigo)
The third arrow is the most tedious to get to because it requires the longest travel time.
- Where to look: Sail to the Ancient Isles. Specifically, you want to look at the Vertigo area.
- Specific Spot: You will find the arrow on the edge of the cliff overlooking the ocean. Be careful not to fall off while picking it up!
Step 4: Returning to Cupid
Once you have collected all three arrows:
- Open your inventory to verify they are there (though the game usually tracks this automatically).
- Sail back to the Isle of Love.
- Talk to Cupid again.
Upon returning the arrows, a dialogue box will appear confirming the quest completion. You will automatically receive the Cupid’s Bow rod.
Cupid’s Bow Stats & Is It Worth It?
So, you’ve got the rod. But should you actually use it? In the current meta of 2026, the Cupid’s Bow is a strong contender for mid-to-late game players, especially if you enjoy the aesthetics.
Here is the stat breakdown:
| Stat | Cupid’s Bow Rating |
|---|---|
| Passive Ability | Love Struck (Increased chance to catch heart-shaped fish during the event). |
| Control | High |
| Lure Speed | Moderate |
| Luck | High |
| Resilience | Moderate |
My Verdict:
If you are a free-to-play player or someone who struggles with luck, this rod is a game-changer. The Luck stat on the Cupid’s Bow is significantly higher than many of the rods you can buy in the early game. Additionally, the “Love Struck” passive makes it the best rod for farming the limited-time Valentines fish, which sell for high prices.
Pro Tips for the Valentides Event
Since you are already on the Isle of Love, I recommend making the most of your trip. Here are some strategies I’ve learned from grinding the event:
1. Server Hop for Event Fish
If the Isle of Love is crowded with other players (which it likely will be), the spawn rate for rare event fish might drop. I suggest server hopping (leaving and joining a new server) until you find one with fewer players. This increases your chances of hooking the high-value fish unique to this event.
2. Use the Cupid’s Bow for XP
The Cupid’s Bow isn’t just for show. Use it to level up your account during the event. The high luck stat means you reel in fish faster, leading to more XP gains per hour compared to standard rods.
3. Watch for Event Updates
The developers of Fisch are known for tweaking events. Sometimes, they add secret locations or mini-quests midway through the event. I recommend keeping an eye on the official Discord or Twitter to ensure you don’t miss any secret additions to the Cupid questline.
4. Sell the Event Fish
Don’t hoard the special Valentines fish unless you are a collector. These fish often sell for a premium price during the event duration. Use the money to upgrade your boat or purchase better bait, which will help you in the long run after the event ends.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
It’s Roblox, and bugs are inevitable. Here are some common issues players face when trying to get the Cupid’s Bow and how to fix them.
“I can’t find the Arrow at Roslit Bay.”
- Solution: The arrow has a specific respawn timer if another player just picked it up. Wait about 2-3 minutes, and it should reappear. If it still doesn’t show, try switching servers.
“Cupid isn’t offering the quest.”
- Solution: Make sure you are on the correct event island. Sometimes players mistake the regular islands for the event island. Check your map for the pink heart icon. Also, ensure you aren’t in a private server that has bugged event NPCs; try a public server.
“My inventory is full.”
- Solution: This is a classic mistake. If your inventory is full when you talk to Cupid to complete the quest, you might not receive the rod. Clear out some space or sell some common fish before returning to him.
Other Valentides Rewards You Should Grab
While you are hunting for the Cupid’s Bow, keep an eye out for these other rewards:
- Heart-shaped Boat: A cosmetic upgrade for your vessel that adds a romantic flair to your travels.
- Valentine’s Day Bobber: A cosmetic item that changes the appearance of your bobber to a heart.
- Love Potion: A temporary buff item that increases your luck for a short duration.
Collecting these ensures you have the complete Valentides set, which might become a flex item in future updates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Cupid’s Bow better than the Trident Rod?
While the Trident Rod generally has higher raw stats for end-game players, the Cupid’s Bow offers better utility specifically during the Valentides event due to its “Love Struck” passive. For general fishing outside the event, the Trident Rod usually outperforms it.
Can I get Cupid’s Bow after the Valentides event ends?
Historically, event-exclusive items in Fisch do not return easily. While there is a small chance they might appear in a special shop or future holiday rotation, your best bet is to grind for it now while the event is active in March 2026.
Do I need a specific bait to catch the quest items?
No, the Arrows of Love are not caught by fishing. They are physical collectibles found on the ground at the specified locations. You do not need any bait to pick them up.
What happens if I lose the Cupid’s Bow?
If you accidentally sell or delete the Cupid’s Bow, you will likely need to contact support or wait for a potential rerun of the event. In most Roblox experiences, event quest rewards are one-time obtainable per account. It is safest to keep it in your inventory or bank it immediately.
Does Cupid’s Bow work in Saltwater and Freshwater?
Yes, the Cupid’s Bow is a versatile rod that works in both saltwater and freshwater environments, making it excellent for completing the “Bestiary” or catching fish in the Moosewood ponds as well as the deep ocean.
Conclusion
The Cupid’s Bow in Fisch is more than just a pretty face; it’s a functional tool with impressive stats that can significantly boost your fishing luck during the Valentides event. By following the steps outlined above—navigating to the Isle of Love, finding Cupid, and retrieving the three arrows from Roslit Bay, Moosewood, and Ancient Isles—you will secure this rod in no time.
Remember, the event is only available for a limited time. Don’t put off grinding for those arrows, or you might miss out on one of the best event-exclusive rods of 2026!
Happy fishing, and may your hooks always find their mark!
