BitCraft Online

BitCraft Online's fishing profession has been rebuilt from the ground up, replacing its previous activity set with a tiered structure designed to accommodate different levels of engagement — from passive net-laying to attentive ocean hunting.

What changed

  • Baitfishing (lvl 1+): Schools persist for a timed window rather than depleting on contact, eliminating competition over nodes. EXP has been increased.
  • Lakefish Spot Searching (lvl 2+): Players can seek out hidden fishing spots that yield more EXP and fish than standard lakefish schools.
  • Lakefish Schools (lvl 3+): Now baited upfront and time-limited, mirroring the communal feel of ocean fishing — described as suitable for relaxed group play.
  • Lakefish Netting (lvl 14+): A passive, solo loop intended to be layered alongside other activities; players lay nets and boat a circuit to collect periodically.
  • Ocean Fishing (lvl 17+): Largely unchanged in structure, but gains "One that got away" fish — rare spawns that can be chained if caught quickly, granting bonus EXP and inventory-friendly butchering.
  • Lobster Fishing (lvl 28+): A passive ocean equivalent of lake netting; trap loops are baited daily and yield crushed shells and lobster meat for new consumables.
  • Trophy Fishing (lvl 29+): The source text ends before this entry is fully described.

The rework's clearest shift is structural: high-competition node scrambles give way to communal, time-windowed schools, while dedicated passive loops let players layer fishing income across other activities.
