Bait for High Quality Fish

Whip up a batch of Miracle Fishing Bait to make finding Rare Fish, those that frequent Red fishing spots, easy.

Apply the Miracle Fishing Bait to your Royal Fishing Rod. It will Glow. Best of all, any White fishing spots will turn to Red as soon as you cast your line.

Good things don’t last forever, but this one lasts for about a dozen casts of your line.

A significant note: The miracle bait only works on White circles. It has no effect on Blue, or Red for that matter but that’s stating the obvious.

Bait for Even More Quality Fish

Try the Even More Miraculous Fishing Bait if you want the miracle to last longer. This upgraded potion will stick to your Royal Fishing Rod even longer. It will turn White circles to Red for about 25 casts of your line.

This pricey concoction requires 1000 Dreamlight along with other precious resources, but it may be worth it. When time is at a premium and you need some rare fish, whip up a bottle of Even More Miraculous Fishing Bait to speed things along.

Don’t forget the power of a Fishing Buddy who can double your catch.
