How to Get Microphone Rod Fisch (March 2026) Ultimate Twitch Quest

If you’ve been seeing players on the docks pulling up fish surrounded by floating musical notes, you’re looking at the Microphone Rod – one of the most unique limited-time items in Fisch right now. This free rod, introduced in Version 1.70.4 on February 13, 2026, offers more than just good stats; it provides a special “Amped” mutation that can quadruple your fish selling price!

I’ve completed this quest multiple times and mapped out every coordinate, hidden item, and tricky puzzle section. Whether you’re a beginner looking for your first decent rod or a collector wanting to add this beauty to your inventory, this comprehensive guide will walk you through every step of the Twitch Viewer questline.

Quick Overview: Microphone Rod Stats & Worth

Before diving into the quest details, let’s examine whether this rod is worth your time investment:

Stat	Value	Notes
Lure Speed	100%	Excellent for quick farming sessions
Luck	80%	Decent boost for catching rares early on
Control	0	Major weakness – needs enchantment
Resilience	30%	Only suitable for lighter fish fights
Max Weight	200 kg	Good for mid-tier catches, not whales
Special Ability	Amped Mutation (10% chance)	4x fish selling price boost

The Real Value: The Microphone Rod’s true power lies in its Amped Mutation – a 10% chance to catch fish with musical note visuals that sell for 4x the normal price. This makes it one of the best money-making rods for beginners!

Step 1: Starting the Twitch Viewer Quest in Moosewood

Your journey begins at Moosewood Island, where you’ll find the Twitch Viewer NPC standing near the main pier. He’s hard to miss – he looks like a typical streamer fan and usually has other players gathered around him.

Important Rule: You must catch all required items yourself. Trading or buying them from other players will NOT count toward quest progression!

The Twitch Viewer will ask you to catch three specific items:

Required Items:

1. Pufferfish – Found in Ocean waters (grab a boat and head out from Moosewood until the zone changes)
2. Mushgrove Crab – Must be caught using Crab Cages in Mushgrove Swamp
3. Rubber Ducky – Common “trash” drop from Moosewood public waters

Pro Tips for Each Item:

• Pufferfish: Don’t go too far into the ocean – just far enough for the zone to change
• Mushgrove Crab: Place multiple crab cages to increase your chances, then wait 5-10 minutes
• Rubber Ducky: Just cast near the spawn area in Moosewood; you’ll get it quickly

Once you have all three items, return to the Twitch Viewer NPC. He won’t give you the rod yet – instead, he’ll provide your next clue pointing to Earmark Island.

Step 2: Solving the Earmark Island Puzzle

This is where most players get stuck. You need to navigate to Earmark Island using these GPS coordinates:

GPS Coordinates: 1230, 125, 575

Note: Some older guides show different coordinates (1240, 147, 510), but the updated coordinates above are correct for the current version.

Finding the Hidden Cave

Upon arriving at Earmark Island, look for a secret cave entrance. It’s somewhat hidden among the rocks, so explore the perimeter carefully. Inside the cave, you’ll find three pedestals where you need to place your caught items in a specific configuration:

Pedestal Placement:

• Right Pedestal: Place the Rubber Ducky
• Left Pedestal: Place the Pufferfish
• Hidden Pedestal: Place the Mushgrove Crab

Critical Tip: The third pedestal is underwater in the small pool inside the cave. Many players miss this because they don’t look down! You’ll need to swim down to find it.

Once you’ve placed all three items correctly, a secret door will slide open, revealing the Streamer Hideout.

Step 3: The Multiplayer Challenge – Catching the Clout Carp

Inside the Streamer Hideout, you’ll find a small fishing pond with a locked door at the back. To progress, you need to catch a Clout Carp and place it on this door.

The Multiplayer Requirement: You cannot catch the Clout Carp alone! The game requires at least one other player to be fishing in the pond with you to trigger the spawn.

Solo Player Strategy:

If you’re playing alone, use the global chat and type: “Anyone need Microphone Rod? I’m at Earmark Island cave, come help with Clout Carp!”

The Fisch community is generally helpful, and players will usually come to assist. This is a common request, so don’t hesitate to ask!

Once you and another player are fishing in the pond, the Clout Carp will eventually spawn. Catch it and interact with the locked door to proceed.

Step 4: The “Tech Support” Minigame

You’re now in the final room where you’ll meet the Streamer NPC. He’s having technical difficulties (classic streamer problems!) and needs you to fix 13 broken items scattered around the room.

Finding All 13 Broken Items:

Look for objects with sparks or glitched textures. Here’s what to check:

• Cables on the floor – usually near the mixing desk
• Buttons on the mixing deck – interact with any that look damaged
• Computer monitors – some may need fixing
• Router – This is the tricky one! The 13th item is typically the router, located near the entrance door you came through, NOT near the main desk

Pro Tip: Work systematically around the room in a circle pattern to ensure you don’t miss any items. The router near the entrance is the most commonly missed piece!

Once you’ve fixed all 13 items, talk to the Streamer NPC again, and he’ll reward you with the Microphone Rod!

Best Enchantments for the Microphone Rod

Because this rod has 0 Control, it’s nearly unusable on difficult fish without proper enchantment. Here are the best options:

Top Enchantment Choices:

1. Steady – BEST CHOICE for beginners
   • Adds much-needed Control to offset the rod’s biggest weakness
   • Makes the rod viable for catching more challenging fish
2. Hasty – Best for Money Farming
   • Boosts the already excellent Lure Speed even higher
   • Perfect for catching lots of small fish quickly
3. Herculean – Late Game Option
   • +25,000 Max Kg, +0.2 Control, +10% Progress Speed
   • Makes the rod viable for heavier fish
4. Quality – Balanced Approach
   • +15% Luck, +5% Resilience, +15% Lure Speed, +5% Progress Speed
   • Good all-around improvement

Advanced Tips & Strategies

Money Making with the Amped Mutation

The Microphone Rod’s real power comes from its Amped Mutation. Here’s how to maximize it:

1. Fish in High-Value Areas – Target locations with expensive fish
2. Use Luck Boosts – Combine with luck potions or items
3. Fish During Events – Special events often have higher-value fish
4. Enchant for Luck – Quality or Mystical enchantments increase your chances

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

1. Trying to Trade for Quest Items – This won’t work!
2. Going Solo for Clout Carp – You absolutely need another player
3. Missing the Underwater Pedestal – Look down in the cave pool!
4. Forgetting the Router – Check near the entrance for the 13th item
5. Not Enchanting the Rod – With 0 Control, it’s nearly unusable unenchanted

Is the Microphone Rod Worth It in 2026?

For Beginners: Absolutely! It’s free, has decent stats, and the 4x selling price bonus from Amped mutation makes it excellent for money making.

For Mid-Game Players: Still useful as a money-farming rod, especially with the right enchantments.

For End-Game Players: More of a collector’s item, but still fun to use for the unique visual effects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Final Thoughts

The Microphone Rod represents one of Fisch’s most engaging questlines, combining exploration, puzzle-solving, and multiplayer cooperation in a way that feels rewarding rather than grindy. While it may not be the most powerful rod for late-game content, its unique aesthetic, money-making potential, and the satisfaction of completing the hidden quest make it a must-have for any serious Fisch player.

Remember, this is a limited-time item tied to the RB Battles event, so don’t wait too long to start your quest! Grab your fishing gear, find a friend for the multiplayer section, and get ready to add one of the coolest rods in Fisch to your collection.

Happy fishing, and may your catches always be Amped!
