Learn how to get Fireworks in Fisch, including where to buy the regular Firework tool, how FischFest Fireworks spawn, and which similarly named items to avoid confusing.
In Fisch, the regular Firework tool is bought from the Travelling Merchant for C$130 when it appears in his random stock, while FischFest Fireworks appear to be collected from shoreline event spawns during the active event.
Firework, Fireworks, and Firework Rod are easy to mix up in Fisch because they sound like the same target. They are not all obtained the same way, so the right method depends on whether you want the regular consumable tool or the current FischFest event item.
If you only need the normal single-use item, your target is the Travelling Merchant’s boat. If you are working on FischFest event progress, treat FischFest Fireworks as a separate event pickup unless the game confirms otherwise in your run.
Which Fireworks you need in Fisch
| Name | What it is | How to get it | Important note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Firework | Regular single-use Tool | Buy from the Travelling Merchant for C$130 | Only available if it appears in random merchant stock |
| Fireworks | FischFest event pickup | Search shoreline event item spawns while FischFest is active | Not confirmed to be identical to the regular Firework tool |
| Firework Rod | Separate fishing rod | Currently listed as no longer obtainable | Do not chase this if your goal is Fireworks |
The regular item is listed as Firework, a single-use Tool that can be bought when the Travelling Merchant has it in stock. The FischFest version is described as Fireworks found from shoreline event item spawns during the active event, and it may not behave exactly like the C$130 merchant item.

How to buy Fireworks from the Travelling Merchant
STEP 1/6
Watch for the merchant alert
Wait for the server-wide Travelling Merchant notification, which appears when the merchant arrives.
STEP 2/6
Go to a possible spawn island
Check near Moosewood, Roslit Bay, Sunstone Island, or Terrapin Island.
STEP 3/6
Find the Travelling Merchant’s boat
Move quickly once the alert appears, because the merchant reportedly stays available for about 10 minutes.
STEP 4/6
Open the merchant shop
Interact with the Travelling Merchant and check the three random items in stock.
STEP 5/6
Buy Firework if listed
If Firework appears, buy it for C$130.
STEP 6/6
Wait or server hop if missing
If Firework is not in the current stock, wait for another merchant spawn or switch servers and check again.
Fastest way to check merchant stock
The practical grind is simple: keep enough money ready, watch for the Travelling Merchant notification, and immediately check the likely spawn areas. The merchant can appear near Moosewood, Roslit Bay, Sunstone Island, or Terrapin Island, so having a boat ready saves time.
Keep C$130 ready and server hop after each empty merchant shop if your only goal is buying the regular Firework quickly.

Firework, Fireworks, and Firework Rod mistakes
| Mistakes | Correct answer |
|---|---|
| Looking in basic starter shops | The regular Firework is tied to the Travelling Merchant, not normal starter shopping. |
| Expecting every merchant to sell it | The merchant’s stock is random, so Firework is not guaranteed. |
| Assuming FischFest Fireworks are the same item | Event Fireworks may be separate from the C$130 Firework; this is not confirmed. |
| Search for Firework Rod instead | Firework Rod is a separate event-exclusive rod and is currently listed as no longer obtainable. |
The biggest waste of time is chasing the wrong item name. Firework is the regular merchant-bought consumable, Fireworks can refer to the FischFest event pickup, and Firework Rod is a separate rod with its own history.
What Firework does after you get it
The regular Firework is a single-use consumable. Once ignited, it launches into the sky, explodes in colors, and disappears from your inventory.
It can also help nearby friends spot where you are, though it is not a long-range tracking tool. Use it when people are already close enough to see the effect.
