− | '''Crab Pots''' are floated on the shores of bodies of water (lakes, ponds, rivers, or oceans) and primed with [[bait]] to catch [[Fish#Crab Pot Fish|fish]]. Any type of bait can be used in a crab pot, but there is no benefit to using specialized types of bait except for [[Deluxe Bait]], [[Bait#Targeted Bait|Targeted Bait]] and [[Wild Bait]], which decreases the chance of junk (by the same amount). In addition, Deluxe Bait increases the quality of the catch to silver, Wild Bait gives players a 25% chance of catching two items and [[Targeted Bait]], if used with a crab pot fish, increases the chance to get that fish. Players with the [[Skills#Fishing|Luremaster profession]] don't need to add bait. | + | '''Crab Pots''' are floated on the shores of bodies of water (lakes, ponds, rivers, or oceans) and primed with [[bait]] to catch [[Fish#Crab Pot Fish|fish]].
