The holiday season in Fisch brings one of the most anticipated annual events: the Fisch Advent Calendar. For 31 days, players can log in to claim a series of free, progressively rewarding gifts, ranging from festive cosmetics to powerful, limited-time fishing gear. This guide breaks down everything you need to know about the event, including a full reward list, detailed equipment analysis, and strategies to maximize your haul.
What is the Fisch Advent Calendar?
The Fisch Advent Calendar is a daily login event that runs for 31 days during the holiday season. Each day, players can open a new “window” on the calendar to claim a free gift. The rewards scale up in value throughout the event, culminating in some of the most unique equipment available in the game. The key is consistent daily login to ensure you don’t miss any high-tier items, as the calendar is sequential.
Complete Day-by-Day Rewards List
While the exact order can vary yearly, the Advent Calendar typically follows a pattern of cosmetics early on, leading up to major gear in the second half. Here’s a general overview of the reward structure:
Days 1-15: Primarily cosmetic items and consumables. Expect titles, emotes, bobbers, lanterns, and smaller bait packs.
Days 16-24: Introduction of high-stat baits and sometimes clothing items with potential hidden stats (like gloves or boots).
Day 25: The first major fishing rod is usually awarded.
Days 26-30: More high-value baits, powerful cosmetics (like gliders), and sometimes the second unique rod.
Day 31: The grand finale reward: the exclusive Peppermint Ski Boat.

Pro Tips to Maximize the Event
Log In Daily: This is non-negotiable. Set a reminder if you must. Missing a day means missing that reward permanently.
Rod Strategy: Use the Christmas Tree Rod with Cookie Crumble or Fruitcake Flakes Bait for lucrative fishing sessions. Pair the Jingle Star Rod with Frost Nova Bait for incredibly fast mutation farming runs.
Test Cosmetics: Some clothing items like gloves or the glider might have hidden stats (e.g., small luck or speed boosts). Equip them and check your character stat page.
Use the Auto-Claim: On the final days, the game often provides an “Auto-Claim” feature to collect all unopened calendar days at once, saving you time.
Farm Mutations Actively: The event period is the best time to stockpile valuable mutated fish. Focus on using the mutation-boosting gear to build your bank.
