Fishing Question (Losing Bait Constantly)

[MStowastiqVahlshdeh]

Make sure you are fishing in an area that is your level. If you fish in an area that is too high you literally cannot catch fish but your bait will be spent. Check to make sure you have your system messages displaying including error messages. The game tells you what is going on. It will say whether or not your level is too low by hinting that and it will tell you if the fish do not like your bait. Nearby Aetheryte camp's NPC vendors have fishing supplies according to the level of the camp. Also regularly check with the fishing guild in Limsa Lominsa while you are on your fishing class to make sure you are doing the leveling quests as you unlock them. Check your fishing log and appropriate level fishing levees also.

Item descriptions for the fishing bait and rods also give hints for their appropriate use like fresh water or sea bait. Check your Active Help messages archive under fishing too. It will show you a list of all of the help messages that you have unlocked when you first tried various actions in game like how to fish and use bait correctly.
