so I guess the bait maker made the crab pot skills obsolete?

[kingjames488]

idk if anyone else has figured this out, but you can stick say a crab in the bait maker to make crab bait.. then stick the crab bait in the crab pot and catch more crabs.

so not only is the bait essentially free, but it catches less junk it seems also.

so I guess there's even less reason to choose those skills now?

My mind is blown right now. Didn't knew that. Thanks

Agreed... I have 7 crab pots atm as a Fisher/Angler.
Even if i just use Deluxe bait, the haul(?) is quite junk free.
And iirc there is even a better bait type yet to discover for me.

To be honest, I never really considered the crab pot skills to be that great. Yes, being able to use the pots without bait is nice (especially if you have two or three recycling machines),, but the benefits just can't compare to the angler profession.

crabs pots were always obsolete unless you have the automate mod or played on the fish farm

I just like the trash items and the passive income from the crabs from Luremaster
The trash can be converted with chance to coal ("Trash" and Driftwood) or guaranteed to Refined Quartz (CD or Glasses) which both can be of good use
Coal is always important to smelt bars or smoke fish (many recipes also use it)
Refined Quartz can be neat for actually using decor floors that use Refined Quartz, helps with cutting down on resources needed for Solar Pannels, quality sprinklers, garden pots and lightning rods (if you havent already placed like 20-30 by the point you get fishing 10)

It might not make big money via increasing fish prices, but it can cut the resources and doesnt require you to think about planting bait into it
Which also saves time and resources in that regard, you dont need to make bait for it, you dont need to have your bait maker be occupied with bait for the pot and you can use whatever bait you make just for your fishing rod

Unless you dont want the trash and just the fish to sell, then this is completely useless, but if you like to have some passive possible coal and refined quartzs from them then its something to consider (or if you just hate fishing and just do it to get to level to 10 to get mastery later then luremaster is probably best for you)

mind blown, thank you

I'd rather catch trash for my recyclers than catch actual crabs, to be honest.

[kingjames488]

I mean, you still get *some* trash.

and the bait is free

Bait from the worm bin is even more free, since it doesn't cost a crab...

it's limited to like 4 per day though.

crab bait gives twice as much therefore costs half as much therefore is less than free! (lol)

Well, I can't argue with that reasoning!
