Fishing

There’s going to be some changes to fishing that will help all anglers get the best catch!



Auto-Fishing

Fishing can now be done automatically when using Auto-Bait or a Taigong's Auto-Bait.

The following changes have been made to accommodate this new system: Maximum Leisure Points have been increased to 4,500 (around 12 hours of auto-fishing). Two new Fishing Baits that can only be used for auto-fishing are now available: Auto-Bait can be purchased from any Associate Master Angler. Taigong's Auto-Bait increases the chance of catching rare fish. This new bait can only be purchased from the Hongmoon Store at a price of 20 NCoin for 100 baits once per day. Premium Members have the option to purchase additional bait at 45 NCoin for 300 baits once per day. The amount of Angler's Pearls acquired from fishing has been adjusted:
