Rod upgrades in Fisch stop at 25%. The Siren Tear is the one item that pushes past that ceiling, raising a single rod’s stats to 30% and then vanishing from your inventory for good. Because it is consumed on confirmation, the decision of which rod receives it matters more than the grind to earn it.
Quick answer: Complete Ryusi’s Daily Trial on 14 consecutive days to earn a Siren Tear, then take it to Mella at the Sunken Reliquary and confirm the upgrade on the rod you want boosted to 30%.
Siren Tear requirements and effect
Everything that defines the item sits in one place, so you can check whether it is worth chasing before committing two weeks of daily logins.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Main source | Ryusi’s Daily Trial, completed 14 days in a row |
| Alternate unlock | Early access for players who already own every rod from Wish |
| Used at | Mella, the upgrade NPC at the Sunken Reliquary |
| Effect | Raises one rod’s upgrade cap to 30% |
| Normal cap without it | 25% |
| Reusable | No, it is destroyed when the upgrade is confirmed |
The extra 5% applies to the rod’s stats, not to your account or your whole inventory. One Tear equals one rod.

The standard route is a streak, not a drop. You need 14 consecutive days of trial completions, which means logging in and finishing the objective each day without skipping.

Tip: treat the trial as the first thing you do each session. The reward is tied entirely to consistency, and there is no way to buy back a broken streak.
Early unlock for players who own all Wish rods
There is a shortcut that skips the two-week wait. If your collection already includes every fishing rod obtainable through Wish, the Siren Tear becomes available to you early instead of at the end of a streak.
This only helps long-term players with a completed Wish rod list. Partial collections do not qualify, so anyone still missing a single rod falls back to Ryusi’s trial.
How to use Siren Tear on a rod at Mella
The Tear does nothing on its own. It has to be handed over to Mella, the upgrade NPC found at the Sunken Reliquary, who applies the modification to a rod you choose.



How to confirm the 30% upgrade applied
Check the rod’s upgrade value after Mella finishes. A successful modification shows the rod sitting at 30%, five points above the limit every unmodified rod runs into. At the same time, the Siren Tear disappears from your inventory, which is the second confirmation that it went through.
If nothing changed, the usual causes are simple. The Tear was never earned because a day was missed and the streak reset, or the Siren Tear was not in your inventory when you spoke to Mella. There is also no undo path once the confirmation goes through, so a Tear spent on the wrong rod stays on that rod.
Because a single Tear is worth two weeks of daily trials, most players hold it until they know which rod they intend to keep using long-term. Pick the rod you already rely on, confirm at Mella, and the extra 5% stays on it permanently.
