Arrows are going, what about bait?

[Alhanelem]

They should go as well, but probably won't since SE is pretty inconsistent.

Since they haven't mentioned bait at all, there wouldn't be any inconsistency in removing it.

However, it should be more like ffxi, with bait that is consumed, along with lures that are not (unless the line breaks)

For arrows, it was already at a point where we carried a grossly unrealistic number of arrows, so it's reasonable to change that to an endless supply. For fishing, bait isn't used in the same quantity or at the same rate and doesn't have the same economic impact. In fact, I don't think I've ever bought bait in what time I've fished- the game doles out a lot of lower end bait for free.

Exactly, which is why turning all baits into lures won't change a thing other than not having stacks taking up space for no real reason.
