Well the title is basically self-explanatory, when we have those missions to fish stuff, either soothing Kelp, tubes, shopping bags, scuba gears or even the tuna, South-sea ray and Crabs, is there a better Bait for these to use? or is totally a question o rng? I guess it is the second case no? when I have the farmers quests for fishing gold or fish items it is easier the chocie but otherwise I always had doubt if it matters what type of bait you use on those fishing quests

Fish quests i tend to use energy since fish are a energy type reward and gold bait for gold quests if its not specific i just use energy. If you got the gold use the most expensive bait.

I don't think the bait matters much for fishing items. I just use my best energy bait to fish up the best fish, and gold bait to fish up treasure quests. If you would rather not "waste" your best bait on other misc. items, then use your cheapest gold or energy bait. I have found the results are the same.

My technique is like Fly's. I like to fish and there is so much to do in BW2 that I don't bother to optimize my bait when fishing for quest items. The only thing optimizing would do is save some gold and that's one thing I have a lot of.

It is then as I expected the bait type seems to not have that much of an impact with fishing quests other than the ones given by the farmer, and I guess the level also doesn't influence that, I never tested directly 'cause I am not that good in statistics but from memory I didn't saw much of a difference in output in those fishing quests while increasing the bait levels along time I've been playing, seems it only matters for fishing gold and energy items...

I use the good bait...for farmer quest as well as the last Michin quest I did..I even get CI's/trophy items using the best energy/gold bait.....That works for me..

I use the expensive bait, as I have a lot of gold, but I have noticed that the second most expensive one seems to yield more results quicker.

I use cheap bait almost all the time. I use more expensive usually on a whim. I have recently because of this post. They do give better items but I guess I'm just cheap lol. I'm almost finished with my 2nd time doing the Michin fishing and did try 10 each of the most expensive baits. I think I'm just cheap because even though I did get better fish/items it didn't impress me enough to change my gold pinching ways. :)

I also use my cheapest bait for the Michin quest, because it takes such a long time to do. I seem to have better luck with the cheaper bait for that quest (unless it's my imagination)
