Fisch's Valentine's update introduces Sweetheart Shores, a seasonal island featuring 21 exclusive fish and items available only during the event. The bestiary includes love-themed catches ranging from common decorative items to the extremely rare Sacred Lovestorm Turtle, which requires specific bait and weather conditions.
Quick answer: Access Sweetheart Shores through the pink heart-shaped portal in Moosewood (near the Shipwright), then fish using standard rods or crab cages depending on the species. Most catches require no special bait, but the rarest fish demand Fischversation Hearts Box bait during Winter with Clear or Rain weather.
Sweetheart Shores Location and Access
The Valentine's event island sits behind a portal in Moosewood at coordinates 350, 135, 250. Walk to the right side of the map near the leaderboard to find the large heart-shaped portal. Touch it to transport directly to Sweetheart Shores, where all 21 bestiary entries can be caught.
The island remains accessible throughout the event period and supports both rod fishing and crab cage placement. Most fish spawn in open water, while a few require cages placed on the seafloor.

Cupid Crab requires a crab cage rather than a rod. The Fischversation Hearts Box itself is a catchable item that opens to provide Fischversation Hearts bait, which unlocks the Sacred Lovestorm Turtle and Dove.
Optimal Rod Selection for Valentine's Bestiary
High-luck rods speed up rare catches significantly. The No-Life Rod and Blade of Glorp combine strong luck bonuses with fast lure speed, making them efficient for most bestiary entries. Both rods handle the majority of fish without difficulty.
For players who encounter resilience issues on tougher catches, the Ethereal Prism Rod or Wind Elemental Rod provide better control and higher max resilience. These rods reduce the chance of losing fish during the reeling minigame, especially for the Sacred Lovestorm Turtle.
Bait and Enchantment Setup
Most Valentine's fish spawn without bait requirements, simplifying the grind. Night Shrimp and Weird Algae add luck bonuses that improve rare spawn rates, though neither is mandatory for completion.
The Fischversation Hearts Box bait is essential for Sacred Lovestorm Turtle and Dove. Catch or purchase the box item, open it to obtain Fischversation Hearts, then equip that bait before fishing during the correct weather and season.
Enchantments amplify rod performance. Steady and Quality enchants are accessible through regular enchant relics and provide solid luck and resilience boosts for beginners. Players with access to Exalted Relics should prioritize Immortal or Mystical enchants, which deliver larger stat increases and faster progress.
Recommended Gear Combination
Pair the No-Life Rod or Ethereal Prism Rod with Immortal or Quality enchantments for balanced performance. Equip Night Shrimp or Weird Algae bait to maximize luck on rare spawns. Aurora totems stack additional luck, while weather-specific totems trigger Clear or Rain conditions on demand for time-gated fish like Dove.
This setup handles all 21 bestiary entries efficiently without requiring frequent gear swaps. Players can complete the bestiary in a single session by cycling through weather conditions and switching to Fischversation Hearts bait when targeting the final two rare fish.
Completion Verification
The bestiary menu displays a checkmark next to each caught species. All 21 entries must show completion markers to reach 100%. The Sacred Lovestorm Turtle is the rarest entry and often the last to complete due to its strict weather and bait requirements.
If a fish refuses to spawn after extended fishing, verify the season, weather, and time of day match the table above. Cupid Crab requires a crab cage placed on the seafloor rather than rod fishing, which is a common oversight. Dove only spawns at night during Rain weather in Winter, so players must wait for or force the correct conditions using totems.
