The Fisch Valentine's 2026 event introduces Sweetheart Shores, a limited-time island with exclusive fish, relics, and fishing rods. A hidden cloud island called Cupid Island floats above the main event area, accessible only by opening a special portal. To unlock this portal, you need three rare blossom items: White Blossom, Red Blossom, and Pink Blossom. Once you collect all three and place them in a garden behind a pink house, the portal opens and you can purchase the Cupid's Bow rod for 25,000 Chocolates.
Quick answer: Fish for White Blossom anywhere on Sweetheart Shores (1/1000 chance), Red Blossom in Lovestorm events in the open ocean (1/50 chance), and Pink Blossom in the Sweet Stream pool near the waterfall (1/100 chance). Place all three in the garden at GPS (207947, 141.9, -17549.4) to open the portal to Cupid Island.
White Blossom Location and Catch Rate
White Blossom is the rarest of the three blossoms, with a 1 in 1000 catch rate. You can fish for it almost anywhere on Sweetheart Shores, the main Valentine's event island. The Cupid Relic abundance area is a recommended spot because it concentrates fishing activity, but the blossom can appear from any fishing location on the island.
Expect to spend several hours fishing to secure a White Blossom. The drop rate is low, so patience and consistent fishing are essential. If you have a rod with high Luck and Lure Speed stats, it can help speed up the process by increasing the number of casts you complete per hour.
Red Blossom Location and Catch Rate
Red Blossom drops from Lovestorm events, which spawn in the open ocean between Moosewood and Roslit Bay. There are three types of Lovestorm events: Regular Lovestorm (2% drop chance), Supercharged Lovestorm (3% drop chance), and Sacred Lovestorm (4% drop chance). The Sacred Lovestorm Turtle event pool offers the highest drop rate.
Lovestorm events spawn globally every three hours, so you may need to wait for the next event window if you miss one. Fish in the event pool as soon as it appears to maximize your chances. The Red Blossom has the best odds of the three blossoms, but the event timing can make it the most time-sensitive to collect.
Pink Blossom Location and Catch Rate
Pink Blossom is found in the Sweet Stream, a moving fishing pool that spawns near the waterfall in Sweetheart Shores. The drop chance is 1 in 100. Use your Fisch Radar to detect the Sweet Stream pool when it appears, as it moves around the island and may not always be visible from the main fishing areas.
The Sweet Stream event is less frequent than standard fishing spots, so check the radar regularly. Once you locate the pool, fish there until you catch the Pink Blossom. The 1% drop rate is more forgiving than the White Blossom, but the moving pool mechanic adds a layer of timing and location tracking.
Opening the Cupid Island Portal
After you collect all three blossoms, teleport to Sweetheart Shores and walk behind the Sweetheart Sarah NPC. You will find a pink heart-shaped building with an NPC named Valen standing on the porch. Enter the garden beside this house.
Equip each blossom from your inventory and place them one by one at the designated interaction points on the ground. The game will prompt you where to place each blossom. Once all three are in position, a pink glowing heart portal will open nearby. Walk through the portal to reach Cupid Island.
This is a server-wide event. If another player on your server opens the portal, you can enter it without placing your own blossoms. The portal remains open for a limited time, so act quickly if you see it appear.
Cupid's Bow Rod Stats and Cost
Cupid Island is a small cloud area with a single shop. The shop sells the Cupid's Bow rod for 25,000 Chocolates. Chocolates are the limited-time currency for the Valentine's event. You earn Chocolates by selling fish and items from the Valentides 2 Bestiary to the Valentine Merchant on Sweetheart Shores.
Cupid's Bow has the following stats:
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Lure Speed | 120% |
| Luck | 125% |
| Control | -0.02 |
| Resilience | -5% |
| Progress Speed | +30% |
| Max Kg | Infinite |
The rod has high Lure Speed and Luck, which help you catch rare fish faster. The negative Control and Resilience make reeling in stronger fish more difficult, so you need good timing and reeling skill to use it effectively. The rod also has a passive ability: 100% chance to apply the Lovestruck Mutation, which increases the value of any caught item by 4x. This makes Cupid's Bow useful for grinding money or completing quests that require high-value catches, but it is not ideal for general fishing due to the low Control and Resilience.
Best Enchantments for Cupid's Bow
Cupid's Bow benefits most from enchantments that offset its negative Control and Resilience. Herculean adds +25,000 Max Kg, +0.2 Control, and +10% Progress Speed, which helps stabilize the rod when reeling in heavy fish. Mystical provides +25% Luck, +45% Resilience, +15% Lure Speed, and +10% Progress Speed, covering multiple weak points at once.
Controlled adds +0.15 Control, which directly counters the rod's negative Control stat. Steady adds +20% Progress Speed and +0.05 Control, offering a smaller but still useful boost. Prioritize Herculean or Mystical first, then add Controlled or Steady if you have extra enchantment slots.
Farming Chocolates for Cupid's Bow
You need 25,000 Chocolates to purchase Cupid's Bow. Chocolates are earned by selling fish and items from the Valentides 2 Bestiary to the Valentine Merchant on Sweetheart Shores. The Bestiary includes 21 fish species, each with a specific Chocolate value when sold.
Focus on catching high-value fish from the Bestiary to reach 25,000 Chocolates faster. Completing the full Bestiary will give you a significant Chocolate total, but you do not need to finish it to afford the rod. Expect to spend several hours fishing and selling to accumulate the required amount. If you are short on time, prioritize the rarest fish in the Bestiary, as they typically offer higher Chocolate payouts.
Trading Blossoms to Speed Up Progress
You can trade blossoms with other players to speed up the portal unlock process. If you catch duplicate blossoms or want to skip the grind for a specific one, visit the Fisch Discord channel to find traders. Trading is especially useful for the White Blossom, which has the lowest drop rate and can take the longest to obtain.
Be aware that trading availability depends on server population and player activity. If you cannot find a trader, you will need to fish for the blossoms yourself. The event is limited-time, so plan your fishing sessions carefully to ensure you collect all three blossoms before the event ends on February 21.
Verifying Portal Access and Rod Purchase
When you place all three blossoms in the garden, the pink heart portal will appear immediately. You will see a glowing pink heart shape near the garden area. Walk into the portal to teleport to Cupid Island. The island is a small cloud platform with a single shop NPC.
Talk to the shop NPC to open the purchase menu. If you have 25,000 Chocolates, you can buy Cupid's Bow. The rod will appear in your inventory after purchase. If the portal does not open after placing the blossoms, check that you placed all three at the correct interaction points in the garden. If another player opened the portal on your server, you can enter it without placing your own blossoms, but you still need 25,000 Chocolates to buy the rod.
The Valentine's event and Cupid Island are only available until February 21, 2026. After that date, the portal and Cupid's Bow will no longer be accessible. Complete the blossom collection and Chocolate farming before the event ends to secure the rod.
