Fishing in The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC offers a relaxing diversion and a chance to acquire valuable items. While not as central as in some other RPGs, it's a rewarding activity for those who engage with it. The core mechanic involves casting your line and waiting for a bite, then successfully reeling in your catch. Different fishing spots and bait types will yield different results.
Fishing Spots and What to Catch
Throughout your journey across the Liberl Kingdom, you'll encounter various bodies of water suitable for fishing. Keep an eye out for shimmering spots on the water's surface, which often indicate a good fishing location. Some notable areas include:
- Grancel Plains: Near the river, you can often find common fish.
- Rolent Lake: A reliable spot for several aquatic life.
- Mirell Village Pond: Offers a chance at some unique catches.
The types of fish you can catch are varied, ranging from common Minnows and Crucians to rarer specimens like Black Bass and even legendary fish. Successfully catching fish can yield items that can be sold for Mira, used in recipes, or even traded for special rewards.
Fishing Rods and Bait
To begin fishing, you'll need a fishing rod. These can typically be purchased from general stores or obtained as quest rewards. As you progress, you may find better rods that improve your chances of catching rarer fish or reeling them in faster. Similarly, different types of bait can attract specific fish. Experimenting with bait is key to diversifying your catch.
Reeling in Your Catch
Once a fish bites, a mini-game will commence. You'll need to manage the tension on your line, indicated by a meter. Pressing the button at the right time will reel in the fish, while holding it too long or letting it slacken can cause the line to break. Mastering this timing is crucial for landing the bigger, more challenging catches.
