Crab Pots: Explained
After fishing long enough to reach Level 3 (in the same skill), you’ll unlock a Crab Pot. This tool is floated on any bodies of water, although it remains in the shore. Securing a catch requires a bait and a day of waiting, and the yield depends on your luck. Note that specialized baits don’t do anything.
If you select the Luremaster profession upon reaching Level 10 in fishing, priming a Crab Pot with Bait is unnecessary.
There are three ways to get the tool:
- Through crafting – Iron Bar (3), Wood (40)
- Through purchasing – 1,500g at Willy’s Fish Shop
- By finishing the Crab Pot Bundle (Community Center Fish Tank)
Regarding crafting, picking the Trapper profession will fully reduce the crafting materials amount and type. Specifically, it’ll be Copper (2) and Wood (25) only.
