Legendary Fish

The article tells that legendary fish can be put into a bait maker. Ok. Why would anyone do that? The extended family of legendary, sure. But the originals that can only be caught once per savefile? Should there not be some mention of why not to do this? And is that not actually a bug? Giles (talk) 16:22, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Multiplayer, so your friends can hook the fish quicker? I don't know, personally, I would restart the day if I accidentally made my legendary fish into bait, but that's just me... I would do the same if I turned them into sashimi or quality fertilizer. margotbean (talk) 19:20, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

I never play multiplayer, but I thought they still could be caught only once per file - not once per player? Anyway, I still think it's worth mention in the article. There are plenty of notes, cautions, and tips in other articles. So why not reword what I said rather than remove it? Giles (talk) 23:06, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Why would anyone do that?As Sheldon says in TBBT:Because we can.The originals can be caught once dont mean you can get only 1 fish,instead,it`s up to 3 fishes if you want.(equiping Challenge Bait).I have 7 Cabins and one of them I copy the museum,I can hold exhibitions on different topics.（including Bait exhibition）No joking,I`m serious.

The point I want to make is that the originals no longer that rare in patch 1.6.You can cook it,smoke it or put it into bait maker to obtain Targeted Bait.Remember it`s an open-ended game!骑凤散人 (talk) 00:13, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

So then, the v1.6 update means that the original legendaries can be caught multiple times per save file? If so, the Wiki needs updating too. Or is this change only for multiplayer? Giles (talk) 23:49, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

There is no change, Legendary fish could always be caught once per save file, or once per player in multiplayer. With Challenge Bait, it's possible to reel in up to 3 of a legendary fish with one catch. Difficult, but not impossible. margotbean (talk) 01:29, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
