Facts and route notes
Category: Bait
Focus: Fishing Mastery recipe, Bone Fragments, Moss, and triple perfect catches
Checklist: Use Challenge Bait when perfect-catch consistency is high. Pair it with easier fish, Cork Bobbers, Trap Bobbers, food buffs, or event targets before using it on brutal fish. Remember multiple catches count toward fishing and special order totals, but do not grant extra fishing XP.
