Fishing Rods & Baits
Fishing in The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC is a rewarding activity that not only provides valuable ingredients for cooking but also offers a chance to acquire unique items. To excel at fishing, you'll need the right equipment: fishing rods and various types of bait.
Fishing Rods:
Your fishing rod determines your overall fishing capability, influencing how effectively you can reel in different types of fish. You typically start with a basic rod and can acquire better ones as you progress.
- Beginner Rod: The initial rod you receive. It's suitable for catching common, smaller fish.
- Standard Rod: A step up from the beginner rod, offering improved reeling power and allowing you to catch a wider variety of fish.
- Advanced Rod: This rod significantly increases your chances of catching larger and rarer fish, making it essential for completing your fishing log and acquiring high-quality ingredients.
New rods are usually purchased from shops in major towns or obtained as rewards for completing fishing-related quests or reaching certain milestones in your fishing endeavors. The Angler's Association in Rolent is a key location for those looking to improve their fishing gear.
Bait:
Bait is crucial for attracting specific types of fish. Different baits have different effectiveness against various species, and using the right bait can dramatically increase your success rate.
- Earthworm: A common and versatile bait, effective for attracting a wide range of freshwater fish.
- Grub: Slightly more specialized than Earthworms, often attracting larger or more aggressive fish.
- Bread: Useful for attracting smaller, surface-dwelling fish.
- Shrimp: A good bait for attracting various types of fish, including some saltwater species.
- Specialty Baits (e.g., Lure, Minnow): These are often rarer and more effective for specific, hard-to-catch fish or for targeting legendary catches. They might be purchased from specialized shops or found in hidden locations.
Bait can be purchased from general stores, fishing supply shops, or sometimes found as loot. Experimenting with different baits at various fishing spots is key to discovering which ones work best for the fish you are trying to catch. The type of fishing spot (river, lake, sea) can also influence which baits are most effective.
