Marvel Avengers Alliance: PvP Season 6 Patch Notes

Forsaken World: A Guide to Special Bait Fishing

Once you hit level 6 Fishing in Forsaken World , there's an achievement "World Fisherman" you can get by fishing at various points with Special Bait . What is Special Bait? Special Bait is bait used to fish up special items and regular fish in certain areas. Unfortunately, the game doesn't tell you where these points are.

The fish rate of Crystal Shells are pretty poor and it may take you several days to get the 20 Crystal Shells needed to exchange with Dotoro for one of several Special Bait recipes. Special Bait can also be traded with Hemmer in 100 count allotments for special titles and rewards....
