Merlin is back with another intriguing quest in Fisch. This time, he’s presenting you with the Astraeus Serenade rod quest. Completing this quest rewards you with a Dusky Thread, a unique crafting material essential for creating the rod. Notably, you cannot purchase or trade for Dusky Thread; it can only be obtained directly from Merlin. Let’s dive into how you can secure this coveted item in Fisch.
How to Obtain the Dusky Thread in Fisch
You can acquire the Dusky Thread by completing the first part of the Astraeus Serenade quest. To initiate this quest, simply speak with Merlin, ensuring you’ve finished all prior quests he has given you. The quest requires you to catch three specific fish, all variations of the Radiant Crystal:
- Celestial Radiant Crystal
- Serene Radiant Crystal
- Breezed Radiant Crystal
All three fish can be found in the Mineshaft, a new location introduced during Merlin’s rework. To access the Mineshaft, you must jump into the sea behind Merlin’s house, but be aware that you’ll require Merlin’s Veil to enter this area.
How to Get Radiant Crystals
As mentioned earlier, you’ll need all three mutations of the Radiant Crystals to obtain the Dusky Thread. Here’s how to catch each one:
- Celestial Radiant Crystal: You can obtain this mutation exclusively with the Celestial Rod. You have a 100% chance of catching it during the Celestial Bonus admin weather event.
- Serene Radiant Crystal: This mutation can be caught using the Polaris Serenade Rod, which gives a 20% chance. You may also use the Duskwire Rod, which has a 2% chance, increasing to 4% with a perfect catch. Both rods are obtainable from the Underground Music venue.
- Breezed Radiant Crystal: You’ll have a 25% chance to catch the Breezed mutation with the Wind Elemental Rod.
While fishing for these crystals, remember to equip enchantments that enhance your chances. The Mutated Enchantment is highly recommended, providing an extra 90% mutation chance.
Once you’ve gathered all three Radiant Crystals, return to Merlin and present them to him. He will then craft the Dusky Thread for you.
How to Use Dusky Thread in Fisch
After completing the quest, the Dusky Thread will automatically appear in your inventory. It plays a critical role as one of the essential materials needed to craft the Astraeus Serenade rod. Once you have all required components, you’re set to create this coveted rod.
