Bait
Every Pond catch requires bait (since August 2026). The Old Fisher covers the whole bait economy at The Pond:
- Trades 1 Feather → 1 Feather Bait for free.
- Sells five baits (Feather Bait, Trout Bait, Bass Bait, Tuna Bait, and Squid Bait) at 1 Gold per 100.
- Runs the same fish-for-bait ladder as Dockhand Maren — 10 Herring → 5 Trout Bait, 10 Trout → 5 Bass Bait, 10 Bass → 5 Tuna Bait, 10 Tuna → 5 Squid Bait, 10 Swordfish → 5 Reef Jig, 10 Parrotfish → 5 Diving Plug, 10 Grouper → 5 Glow Jig. Raw or cooked fish both count, and raw is spent first.
The Old Fisher's counter sells bait only — fishing rods, the Wooden Raft and the three sea baits are sold exclusively by Dockhand Maren at The Shores.
