I need to collect fishing mast for tonights fishing. I need to get:
200 guts
200 crewlers
200 butterfly parts
Zombies have stop droping worms because of my level. I need 200 worms if l can find a farm spot.
Is there any other fishing baits l need to farm that l have forgotten?
I must have 1000 mats by tonight.

    There are 4 different types of water so if you want a stack of each type of bait you need 800 mats.

    200 worms with that time frame? Guild store. Worms are the most pain in the *** bait to farm. Guts, crawlers, insect parts, and worms are the base baits. The others are obtained by fishing in the appropriate waters.

    There are four alternate baits that can occasionally be pulled up when fishing.

    Chubs = Ocean (found from fishing in foul water)
    Shad = Rivers (found while fishing lakes)
    Fish Roe = Foul Water (found while fishing in rivers)
    Minnows = Lakes (found while fishing in oceans)

    As far as I know there's no difference between them and the common bait with regards to the odds of pulling up rare fish (I've never really noticed a major difference at least), so I really wouldn't go crazy over trying to get them.

    That said though, converting crawlers to chubs is not a bad strategy to supplement your worm supply. Crawlers are much easier to farm compared to worms and you have a pretty decent rate of pulling up chubs from foul water holes.

    Thanks for telling me l didn't forget any baits.
    If l come accross a large pot of gold l don't want l can buy standard bait in shops too.
    Much more fun to farm it.

    Unless it's worms, then it's a nuisance.

    Simple bait is stupid expensive. On xbone, I can buy a stack of 200 worms much cheaper than a stack of simple bait.

    How long do you fish for? I get bored after an hour or so and about 1 stack of bait (both in the game and in real life).

    I get heaps of worms and crawlers from harvesting alchemy plants in Craglorn and Wrothgar. Don't know if the return is any good anywhere else as these are the only places I really harvest from.

    I fish for a nights entertainment l find it very relaxing and calms any madness that might other wise keep me up at night.
    If fishing gets lonely l snap trunein radio app to the right of the screen and hear real live Radio music from any place on the planet as l am fishing.
    Around 11pm l turn 400 fish into 1600 fish sticks and sell the lot. I normaly get two Perfect Roes from it too.
    Its a good nights work.

    I like to fish in beginners areas, the zone chat is so lively and refreshing. Higher zones chat is only boring LFG/WTS stuffs, people got no time anymore to socialize. Booo !

    Maybe you need someone to chat with.
    How about we fish together.
    I don't mind putting on a headset if your a person who does not go out of your way to offend people just for fun.
    I would welcome your company.

    What about zombies in cold harbour? With vet levels gone, do they still drop loot regardless of cp level?

    In theory, the rare bait is supposed to proc a better loot table. In practice? I'm honestly not sure. I've never burned through enough of the rare stuff to get a good feel for them.

    If they're level 45 or above, they always have. Though now they have a new Fleshfly Larva drop... I'm not sure if that directly competes with their worm drops (I think can both spawn on the same zombie), but it feels like the worm drop rate is lower now.

    @phaneub17_ESO I'll take any bait you don't want. I'll even give you some gold for it if its not too overpriced.

    ^^ This. Simple bait is a complete waste of gold. You'd be better off using any other bait.
