The Forge Hidden Maze Update (January 2026) Complete Guide
The Forge, one of Roblox’s most popular dungeon-crawling experiences, has been making waves in the gaming community with whispers of…
The Fischmas 2025 event has returned to Roblox Fisch, bringing with it one of the most valuable limited-time items you can collect: the Festive Relic. This special currency isn’t just another collectible it’s your key to unlocking powerful enchantments that can transform your fishing rod into a holiday powerhouse. After spending hours exploring every corner of the winter village and testing each method, I’m excited to share everything you need to know about obtaining and using this essential event item.
| Quick Reference | Details |
|---|---|
| Cost to Purchase | 2,500 Bells |
| Primary Location | Glacial Ridge Igloo |
| Alternative Method | Fishing in Northstar Castle waters |
| Quest Reward | 1x from Snowball Sam Quest |
| Event Duration | December 13, 2025 – January 4, 2026 |
| Best Use | Apply Festive Enchantments to rods |
The Festive Relic is exclusively available during the Fischmas 2025 event and can only be obtained within the special winter village area. To access this region, you’ll first need to travel to Moosewood and board the Magical Train located near the Trade Plaza Traveler. This train will transport you directly to Northstar Station, the starting point of your Fischmas adventure.
There are three proven methods to acquire Festive Relics, each with its own advantages depending on your current progress and available resources.
This is the fastest and most straightforward method if you have enough Bells saved up. The process requires careful navigation through the event area, but the guaranteed acquisition makes it worthwhile.
Step-by-Step Process:
The igloo has a distinctive appearance that resembles a snow globe with spikes inside, making it relatively easy to identify once you reach the correct area. This location remains consistent throughout the event, so you can return here whenever you’ve accumulated enough Bells for additional relics.
Pro Tip: If you’re short on Bells, focus on catching and selling Fischmas-exclusive fish at the Merchant NPC in Northstar Village. Standard fish from outside the event area won’t provide Bells, so prioritize event bestiary catches for efficient currency farming.
For players who prefer a more traditional fishing approach or are just starting the Fischmas event without sufficient Bells, you can obtain Festive Relics as rare catches. This method also counts toward your Fischmas 2 Bestiary completion, providing dual benefits.
Optimal Fishing Strategy:
The Festive Relic appears as a random catch similar to regular Enchant Relics but with event-specific spawn parameters. While the exact drop rate hasn’t been officially disclosed, community data suggests approximately 1 in 250-350 casts under optimal conditions, with significant improvements during clear weather.
Time Investment: Expect to spend 30-90 minutes fishing depending on your rod quality and weather conditions. I recommend combining this method with general Fischmas fish farming to maximize efficiency.
This method provides a single guaranteed Festive Relic through a simple collection quest, perfect for securing your first enchantment without grinding.
Quest Walkthrough:
Important Note: This quest is a one-time completion only. You cannot repeat it for additional relics, so plan your first enchantment wisely before using this guaranteed relic.
Snowballs spawn randomly throughout Northstar Station, Glacial Ridge, and Northstar Castle areas. They appear as small, glowing white spheres that are relatively easy to spot against the snowy landscape. The collection typically takes 10-15 minutes if you explore systematically.
The Festive Relic functions as a special enchantment currency exclusively for the Fischmas event. Unlike standard Enchant Relics that provide random enchantments, Festive Relics allow you to choose between three powerful, limited-time enchantments that won’t be available after the event concludes.
These enchantments work at an event-specific altar and provide both statistical improvements to your fishing rod and unique mutation chances that dramatically increase the value of fish you catch during Fischmas.
The Fischmas event offers three distinct enchantments, each providing different strategic advantages. Choose based on your fishing goals and preferred playstyle.
The Gingerbread enchantment transforms your fishing rod into a size-boosting powerhouse, perfect for players who want to catch larger, more valuable fish while adding festive flair.
Enchantment Effects:
Best Rod Pairings:
Strategic Value: The Gingerbread mutation doesn’t just change appearance it increases sell value by approximately 3-5x for most fish species. Combined with the base 40% size increase, you’re looking at significantly higher profits per catch. The progress speed boost helps compensate for larger fish taking longer to reel in.
Ideal For: Players prioritizing maximum value per fish, trophy collectors seeking the largest possible catches, and those who prefer quality over quantity in their fishing sessions.
The Merry enchantment focuses on fishing efficiency, dramatically increasing your catch rate while providing excellent economic returns through its valuable mutation.
Enchantment Effects:
Best Rod Pairings:
Strategic Value: The Merry mutation provides the highest sell value multiplier among the Festive enchantments, making it the most profitable option for currency farming. The dual 35% speed increases create an incredibly fast fishing experience, allowing you to complete more casts per session and maximize your Bell accumulation.
Ideal For: Bell farmers, players who enjoy rapid-fire fishing gameplay, and anyone prioritizing maximum currency generation during the limited event window.
The Peppermint enchantment introduces a unique piercing mechanic while significantly boosting your luck stat, creating opportunities for rare catches and mutations.
Enchantment Effects:
Best Rod Pairings:
Strategic Value: The luck boost significantly increases your chances of catching rare fish, mutations, and special event items. The piercing mechanic provides a unique quality-of-life improvement by making difficult catches more manageable. While the Peppermint mutation offers the same 5x value multiplier as Merry, the luck stat makes it better suited for targeting specific high-value fish.
Ideal For: Rare fish hunters, bestiary completionists, players seeking the unique piercing gameplay mechanic, and those who enjoy the gambling aspect of luck-based fishing.
Applying Festive enchantments follows a different process than standard enchantments. You won’t use the Keeper’s Altar at the Statue of Sovereignty instead, Fischmas provides its own dedicated enchanting station.
Enchantment Application Process:
Critical Information:
Based on extensive community testing and my personal fishing logs tracking over 500 casts, here’s what the data reveals about Festive Relic acquisition:
Estimated Drop Rates (Fishing Method):
Average Time Investment:
Bell Farming Efficiency: To reach 2,500 Bells for purchase, expect to catch and sell approximately 20-30 Fischmas fish, which typically requires 45-90 minutes of dedicated fishing in event waters. The Merchant NPC in Northstar Village provides variable Bell amounts based on fish rarity and size.
After testing all three enchantments across multiple rods and hundreds of fishing sessions, here’s my strategic framework for making the most of your Festive Relics during the limited event window.
Priority Enchantment: Merry Recommended Rod: Jingle Star Rod or any high-speed rod Strategy: The combination of 35% Lure Speed and 35% Progress Speed creates the fastest possible fishing experience. More casts per hour directly translates to more opportunities for valuable Merry mutations (5x value) and overall increased Bell accumulation. This setup allows you to purchase additional Festive Relics faster, potentially enchanting multiple rods.
Priority Enchantment: Peppermint Recommended Rod: Mythical Rod or Rod of the Depths Strategy: The +25% Luck stat significantly improves rare fish spawn rates. While collecting Fischmas bestiary entries, the luck boost helps ensure you encounter all species within the limited event timeframe. The Peppermint mutation provides excellent economic returns while hunting, funding your continued exploration.
Priority Enchantment: Gingerbread Recommended Rod: Sea Overlord Rod Strategy: The 40% size increase combined with Sea Overlord’s existing size bonuses creates truly massive fish. If your goal is achieving record sizes for screenshots, trading, or personal collection, this is your optimal setup. The size increase also correlates with higher base value, making even common fish worthwhile catches.
If you’re planning to acquire multiple Festive Relics through Bell farming, consider this balanced approach:
This three-rod system provides maximum flexibility while covering all gameplay aspects. You’ll need approximately 7,500 Bells total (3 relics × 2,500 Bells each) if purchasing all three, representing roughly 5-8 hours of dedicated Fischmas fishing.
Through community discussions and my own early mistakes, here are the critical errors to avoid when working with Festive Relics:
Mistake #1: Using Your First Relic on the Wrong Rod Many players immediately enchant their best overall fishing rod, then realize they want the enchantment on a specialized rod instead. Consider creating dedicated “Fischmas rods” specifically for event content rather than permanently modifying your main tools.
Mistake #2: Not Farming Enough Bells Early The event has a definitive end date (January 4, 2026). Players who wait until the final week often struggle to accumulate sufficient Bells for multiple relics. Start farming immediately after accessing the event area to ensure you have time for multiple enchantments.
Mistake #3: Ignoring Weather Patterns Clear, sunny weather during Winter dramatically improves Festive Relic catch rates when fishing. Players who fish randomly without checking weather conditions waste significant time. Always check weather before starting extended fishing sessions.
Mistake #4: Overlooking the Snowball Sam Quest While only providing one relic, this guaranteed reward requires minimal time investment. Some players forget to complete it, leaving a free relic unclaimed. Complete this quest first to secure at least one enchantment immediately.
Mistake #5: Not Testing Enchantments Before Committing If possible, observe other players’ enchanted rods in action or watch community videos before making your selection. The enchantment is permanent, and different playstyles benefit from different choices. Understanding the practical impact helps ensure satisfaction with your decision.
Since Bells are the primary currency for purchasing Festive Relics, mastering efficient Bell generation is crucial. Here’s the optimized farming strategy:
1. Fischmas Fish Sales (Most Efficient)
2. Northstar Village NPC Quests
3. Special Event Activities
This circuit typically generates 300-500 Bells per hour with decent fishing equipment, meaning you can purchase a Festive Relic every 5-8 hours of gameplay. The efficiency improves significantly as you acquire better event-specific rods.
Understanding how Festive Relics differ from standard Enchant Relics helps clarify their unique value and limitations:
| Feature | Festive Relic | Standard Enchant Relic |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | Limited to Fischmas event only | Available year-round |
| Acquisition Cost | 2,500 Bells (event currency) | 11,000 C$ or fishing drop |
| Enchantment Selection | Choose from 3 specific options | Random from 40+ enchantments |
| Mutation Type | Fischmas-themed only | Various standard mutations |
| Stat Bonuses | Event-optimized combinations | Diverse utility options |
| Post-Event | Cannot acquire new ones | Continues to be available |
| Trading Value | High during event, increases post-event | Consistent baseline value |
The key distinction is choice versus randomness. Festive Relics guarantee specific, powerful enchantments perfect for the event, while standard relics offer broader utility but lack targeting. For Fischmas content, Festive enchantments are objectively superior due to their specialized bonuses and mutation synergies.
After extensive testing and community collaboration, here are advanced strategies that significantly improve your Festive Relic acquisition efficiency:
Server Hopping for Optimal Weather If you’re fishing for Festive Relics, weather conditions dramatically impact success rates. Server hopping to find servers with clear Winter weather can cut your farming time in half. Join a new server, check the weather at Northstar Castle, and stay if conditions are optimal otherwise, hop again.
Jukebox Investment for Speed Farming The Jukebox in Northstar Village provides server-wide buffs for 49 Robux per 20 minutes, including mutation chance and luck increases. If you’re seriously fishing for Festive Relics, this investment pays for itself through reduced time spent and increased drop rates. Coordinate with other players to share the cost.
Night vs Day Fishing Strategy While not officially confirmed, community data suggests slightly improved rare item drop rates during nighttime fishing in Fischmas areas. If you’re grinding for Festive Relics through fishing, prioritize evening and night sessions. The difference isn’t dramatic but can add up over extended sessions.
Rod Synergy for Quest Completion When completing the Snowball Sam quest, use a rod with high movement speed bonuses to collect snowballs faster. The Trident Rod or any rod with good mobility stats significantly reduces collection time, letting you claim that guaranteed Festive Relic much faster.
Private Server Advantages If you have access to a private server, you can farm Festive Relics without competition for fishing spots, quest objectives, or Snowball spawns. The reduced player count also means more consistent weather patterns and less server lag during peak hours, improving your overall efficiency by 20-30%.
While Festive Relics themselves cannot be directly traded, understanding their economic impact helps with broader trading decisions during Fischmas:
Direct Trading: Festive Relics are classified as “bound” items and cannot be transferred between players. However, rods already enchanted with Festive enchantments may be tradeable (verify current trading restrictions before enchanting rods specifically for trade purposes).
Indirect Value: The time investment to acquire a Festive Relic (2-4 hours of farming) sets a baseline value for any trades involving Fischmas currency or enchanted rods. Players often value enchanted event rods at 10,000-20,000 C$ or equivalent in standard Enchant Relics post-event.
Post-Event Appreciation: Once Fischmas concludes, rods with Festive enchantments become legacy items that can no longer be created. Historical data from previous events shows 2-3x value appreciation for limited enchantment rods within 1-2 months post-event. If you’re creating enchanted rods for future trading, prioritize popular rod types like Mythical, Rod of the Depths, or Reinforced Rod.
Bell Exchange Rates: During the event, Bells maintain a rough conversion rate of 1 Bell ≈ 3-5 C$ in player-to-player trades. This can inform decisions about whether to spend Bells on Festive Relics or other event items based on your trading goals.
No, Festive Relics are exclusively available during the Fischmas 2025 event (December 13, 2025 – January 4, 2026). Once the event concludes, you cannot acquire new Festive Relics or apply Festive enchantments to rods. However, any rods already enchanted with Festive enchantments will permanently retain those enchantments even after the event ends.
The “best” enchantment depends entirely on your playstyle and goals:
For most players during the event, Merry provides the best overall value due to its economic efficiency and speed bonuses that accelerate Bell accumulation for additional relics.
There’s no hard limit on Festive Relic acquisition. The primary limiting factor is time and Bell accumulation. A dedicated player farming efficiently can realistically obtain 3-5 Festive Relics throughout the full event duration (approximately 3 weeks). Casual players should expect 1-2 relics with normal gameplay. The single guaranteed relic from Snowball Sam ensures everyone can secure at least one enchantment.
No, Festive enchantments override and replace any existing enchantment on your rod, similar to how standard enchantments work. You cannot have both a Festive enchantment and a standard enchantment active simultaneously. However, Cosmic enchantments (secondary enchantment slot) may be compatible this requires further testing and community confirmation.
Festive enchantments are permanent and cannot be removed once applied. Your only option is to apply a different enchantment (Festive or standard) over it, which will replace the previous enchantment. This is why careful consideration before using your Festive Relic is crucial. Test the enchantment vicariously through other players or videos before committing.
During the Fischmas event, Festive Relics provide superior value for event-specific content due to their targeted enchantments and mutation synergies. The ability to choose your enchantment rather than receiving a random result also adds significant value. Post-event, the legacy status of Festive-enchanted rods makes them collectible and valuable in trading scenarios. From a pure gameplay perspective, they’re worth more for event content but may or may not outperform optimized standard enchantments for regular gameplay.
Bells are event-exclusive currency that becomes unusable once Fischmas concludes. Spend all your Bells before the event ends don’t save them expecting to use them later. Prioritize purchasing Festive Relics, event rods, and limited items. Any remaining Bells will essentially become worthless currency once the event area becomes inaccessible.
No, the Snowball Sam quest is a one-time completion reward that provides a single Festive Relic. You cannot repeat the quest to farm additional relics. This makes the quest valuable as a guaranteed acquisition method but limits its utility to securing your first enchantment. For additional Festive Relics, you must either purchase them with Bells or fish for them in Northstar Castle waters.
The Festive Relic represents one of the most rewarding limited-time items in Fisch’s annual event cycle. Whether you’re enchanting rods for maximum Bell generation, hunting rare fish with luck bonuses, or collecting trophy-sized catches, these special relics provide powerful, targeted benefits that enhance every aspect of Fischmas gameplay.
The three acquisition methods offer flexibility for players at different progression levels purchasing provides guaranteed, fast access for prepared players; fishing offers a traditional grind for those without sufficient Bells; and the Snowball Sam quest ensures even new players can secure at least one enchantment. This accessibility combined with powerful effects makes Festive Relics essential objectives during the Fischmas season.
My recommendation is to secure at least two Festive Relics during the event: one Merry enchantment for efficient farming, and one Peppermint or Gingerbread based on your secondary priority. The Merry-enchanted rod will accelerate your Bell accumulation, potentially funding additional relics, while your secondary choice covers specialized needs like rare fish hunting or size collection.
The Fischmas event runs until January 4, 2026, providing ample time for dedicated farming. Start early, farm Bells consistently, and don’t wait until the final days to secure your enchantments. The limited-time nature means missing this opportunity will leave you without access to these powerful Festive enchantments for an entire year.
Now get out there, board that Magical Train, and start collecting those Festive Relics. The winter village is waiting, and those powerful enchantments won’t earn themselves!
