Sunstone Island is one of the early-game islands in Fisch, offering a sun-drenched contrast to colder locales like Snowcap. Located northwest of Moosewood, this tropical island is rich with colorful fish, unique NPC interactions, and exclusive rewards. That is why if you are looking forward in unlocking the coveted Sun Bobber or just want a taste of a laid-back fishing environment, Sunstone Island is your main destination.
🧭 How to Find Sunstone Island
Sunstone Island sits northwest of Moosewood, approximately at coordinates X −932, Y 131, Z −1109. Simply speak to ANY Shipwright, board a boat, and sail until the island’s name pops up on your GPS HUD. Using a good-quality boat, you can reach it in just a minute or two.
🏝️ Island Overview & NPCs
Once you dock, you’ll see the island’s tropical charm—palm trees, rock caverns, and bright sand. You’ll find familiar NPCs like the Merchant, Angler, and Shipwright, but also a unique character: Merlin
✅ NPC Highlights
- Merchant: Offers basic bait and fish-related items.
- Shipwright: Sells equipment like Fish Radar, Bait Crates, Tempest Totems—but notably not rods.
- Angler: Assigns fish-hunting quests that reward coins and EXP.
- Merlin: The wizard in a cliffside hut, available at Level 30+. He sells Enchant Relics (power) and a 30% Luck Buff for 10 minutes
Merlin’s hut can be accessed by a ladder near his daughter, Rhea—an interactive experience that helps orient players to his location
🔮 Enchant Relics & Luck Boost
Merlin sells:
- Enchant Relics for 11,000 C$ each, usable to boost rods at the Altar under the Sovereignty statue
- A +30 % Luck buff for 5,000 C$ (10 min)
Luck boosts improve catch rates, especially helpful for rare fish or time/weather-locked species.
🏞️ Sundial Totem for Time Control
Inside a nearby cave to the west of Merlin’s hut, hidden within a crystal nook, you’ll find the Sundial Totem. For 2,000 C$, it lets you toggle between day and night—vital for catching fish tied to specific times like Voltfish (night + rain)
