Silksong Fine Pins Quest Guide: Farming Reed and C
Silksong’s Fine Pins Wish guide reveals the best Fine Pins farming route, enemy drops, and a rewarding 220-Rosary payoff.
Honestly, the Fine Pins Wish in Silksong is one of those tasks that looks more intimidating than it really is. Players who reach Act 2 and spend time in Songclave will eventually spot a Wishwall request asking for 10 Fine Pins, a collection quest that sends Hornet back into the Citadel to hunt down specific enemies. The reward is a Heavy Rosary Necklace, which can be broken for a quick pile of Rosaries, so it is a worthwhile detour for anyone who needs currency or simply wants to clear another Wish from the board. The quest is not complicated, but it does involve a little farming, a bit of luck, and one important pickup rule that catches some players off guard.

How to Start the Fine Pins Wish
Players cannot simply walk into Songclave at the start of the game. The area becomes available after beating the Last Judge and moving into Act 2. Once they reach the correct unnamed location in the top-right of the Citadel, they need to ring the Grand Bell. When they return later, that spot has transformed into Songclave. From there, the Fine Pins Wish is waiting on the Wishwall that appears to the right of the Caretaker. It is a standard collection request, so there is no long dialogue chain or hidden prerequisite beyond reaching the area and interacting with the board.
What Fine Pins Are and Who Drops Them
Fine Pins are thin, silver-colored items, and they are not lying around in chests or hidden in side rooms. Instead, they drop from two enemy types in the Citadel: Reed and Choristor. Both enemies wield these pin-like weapons, which makes them the obvious targets for the Wish. Players who try to search every corner of the Citadel may waste time, because the quest is really about enemy farming rather than exploration. The key is to find a reliable spawn area and settle into a short combat loop.
The Best Fine Pin Farming Spot
The most convenient place to farm Fine Pins is the tall room to the left of the Grand Bellway in the Choral Chambers sub-zone of the Citadel. This room is popular because both required enemies are close together. A Choristor spawns on the bottom floor right next to the Bell Beast Station exit, while a Reed enemy flies not too far above. That means players can defeat one enemy, move upward, defeat the second, and then reset the room by leaving and re-entering or by using the nearby station route. The whole loop is short, which matters because Fine Pins are not guaranteed drops.
Drop Rates and Pickup Rules
Here is the part that surprises some players: Fine Pins are not a guaranteed drop. The chance appears to be roughly 50/50, so a player may need to kill more than 10 Reed and Choristor enemies before the Wish is complete. Patience helps, but the nearby spawn point keeps the farm from becoming a long grind. Another important detail is that Fine Pins do not get added to the inventory automatically. Players must stand next to a dropped Fine Pin and interact with it to pick it up. Running through the room too quickly can leave pins on the floor, so it is worth slowing down after each kill to check for the silver item.
A few practical habits make the farm smoother:
-
Defeat the bottom Choristor first, then move up for the Reed. -
Check the floor after every kill instead of assuming the drop was collected. -
Reset the room often; the enemies are close enough that long detours are unnecessary. -
Use quick area attacks or ranged options if the flying Reed is annoying to chase. -
Expect a few extra kills; 10 pins does not always mean 10 enemies.
Turning In the Wish and Claiming the Reward
After collecting the tenth Fine Pin, players should return to Songclave and interact with the Wishwell. The Wish Fulfilled screen will appear, and Hornet receives a Heavy Rosary Necklace. This item is more than a trophy. It can be broken to receive 220 Rosaries instantly, which is a solid
