The Pinion’s Aria Rod is one of Fisch’s most unique quest rods, added in the Version 1.72 (Music Venue Member) update on February 21, 2026. To unlock it, you must complete the Mysterious Songstress questline, a multi-stage challenge involving sky exploration, musical mechanics, and high-tier boss fishing. Here’s a quick overview before we dive in:
| Step | Objective | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Quest 1 | Catch a musical fish (DJ Spinopus or Treble Bass) | Hang Glider |
| Quest 2 | Catch a Heavenly Harmonic Dove Above the Clouds | Pinion’s Aria Rod (Restricted) |
| Quest 3 | Catch 42 Crystal Cove fish without missing notes | Progress toward unrestriction |
| Quest 4 | Catch a boss fish (Megalodon/Scylla/Leviathan/Colossal Dragon) without missing notes | Full rod unlocked |
First, unlock the Underground Music Venue in Crystal Cove. Enter the Vertigo whirlpool to reach The Depths, then place a Chaotic Enchant Relic on the pedestal inside Crystal Cove (coordinates: 1350, -604, 2329) to open the trapdoor leading to the venue.
Inside, find the Mysterious Songstress NPC standing near the drums by the main stage. She’ll ask you to bring a fish with musical ability. Your fastest options:
Return the fish to her and left-click on it a few times. She’ll reward you with a Hang Glider.
Next, the Songstress asks for a Heavenly Harmonic Dove — found only at the sky island “Above the Clouds.”
How to get there:
Catching the dove:
Return the Heavenly Harmonic Dove to the Songstress. She rewards you with the Pinion’s Aria Rod (Restricted).
The rod arrives locked with a Restriction enchantment — you can’t enchant or modify it until you complete two more quests:
Once done, the Restriction is removed and the rod is fully unlocked.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Lure Speed | 142% |
| Luck | 242% |
| Control | 0 |
| Resilience | 4.2% |
| Max Kg | Infinite |
Passive: During reeling, musical notes fall from above. Catching a note gives +5% progress speed and increases bar size. Missing one deals -10% progress speed and shrinks the bar. Once fully unlocked, the rod grants a 30% chance for the Harmonized mutation, which boosts fish sale value by 4.2x.
Since the rod has 0 Control and minimal Resilience, prioritize patching those weaknesses. Best picks from all Fisch enchantments:
She’s inside the Underground Music Venue in Crystal Cove — near the drums by the main stage. Access it via the Vertigo whirlpool and the Crystal Cove puzzle (Chaotic Enchant Relic on the pedestal).
It starts with a Restriction enchantment. You must complete all four Mysterious Songstress quests — including catching 42 Crystal Cove fish and a boss fish without missing musical notes — to remove it.
Yes. You need the Heavenly Rod with the Long enchantment to reach the fishing spot Above the Clouds and catch the Heavenly Harmonic Dove.
Missing a note resets progress for that specific fish only — your overall count doesn’t reset. Keep going and recatch that fish.
Absolutely. Once fully unlocked, it offers 242% Luck, infinite Max Kg, and a 4.2x fish value multiplier via the Harmonized mutation — making it one of the best farming rods in the game.
