− | ===Advantages=== | + | ==Basic Fish== |
− | | + | The Training Rod can only catch fish with a difficulty lower than 50: |
− | * When using the Training Rod, the bar size in the fishing mini-game will always be set to that of fishing skill level 5. (At the beginning of the game, this is significantly bigger than the size of the level 0 fishing bar.)
| |
− | * For players who have difficulty with the fishing mini-game, it is recommended to use the Training Rod until you gain a few fishing skill levels.
| |
− | * At fishing level 5 and higher, it is never advantageous to use the Training Rod (unless you are specifically trying to catch one of the basic fish types).
