Fishing/Bait Help

[Estellios]

You definitely see different catch rates with different baits. Some fish won't even show up at all for certain baits. It's up to you to figure out which ones work for which fish. Some places are just worse than others and you get a large variety of fish off one bait, like in Costa del Sol.

As far as perception goes I am using the Level 50 Fisher set and at lower level nodes I get a fair amount of HQ's. I'd imagine it caps around 15% like the other gathering classes.

Some places are just worse than others and you get a large variety of fish off one bait, like in Costa del Sol.

It's this vast range that's frustrating. There's no real incentive to work out which baits are relevant to which fish, as you can generally catch everything nearby with just the bait sold in the area.

For example, at Costa del Sol, you can catch Angelfish, Blowfish, Blanaq Bream, Indigo Herring, Ash Tuna, and Fullmoon Sardine with Spoonworms. That means that the three fish you can't catch are probably mooched, double-mooched, and/or need a higher/different bait. If you add in the lure of the same level, you've likely conquered that particular area.

I'm speculating a bit, but you see what I mean?

This one helped me a lot: http://www.disciplesoftheland.com/fo...g=posts&t=1172

Generally speaking, if you know the level of the water source, you can catch a lot of fish with the bait or lure of the same level (it's often sold nearby).
