Preview - Return to Basilisk Basin! A relaxing respite on the docks before Ursoth!
A storm is coming... and we have a few days before it hits!
Ursoth is on the way to challenge and delight you with his annual 'assault' on the beautiful denizens of Elondria.
Check out the end of this post for teaser pics of new Ursoth vanity armor sets and auras!
Before Ursoth arrives we've got a fun, pro-social minigame event full of fish, elixirs, crafting, fish, more elixirs, a crazy sea captain, unlocked crates, and more fish!
Attachment 253982
Visit Nevius in Windmoore town to pick up a fishing rod and some bait, then head over to Basilisk Basin to join in the fun!
+ Use bait to cast your rod in Basilisk Basin. Purchase additional bait from Nevius, or defeat bosses around Arlor to collect more.
+ After making a cast with your fishing rod, play a mini-game to capture fish. Lose the game, the fish gets away.

FISHING Details
- When equipped, your Fishing Rod will show you the amount of Bait that you have left.
- When you run out of Bait, you'll need to buy more from Nevius or loot some by defeating Arlorian bosses.
Attachment 253987
- A 'rare fish region' will sometimes appear in Basilisk Basin. When it does, fish in that area for a chance to catch the most rare fish and the event crates.
Attachment 253988
- The 'rare fish region' will disappear after a few minutes and reappear somewhere else after some period of time.
Attachment 253989
CAP'N MORAY
- When a rare fish region disappears, the greedy "Cap'n Moray" will hop out of the water to antagonize you and your fishing friends.
- Bash Cap'n Moray back into the water to collect some valuable loot, including a special badge:
Attachment 253990
- Cap'n Moray has special stats so that his encounter is suitable for Standard and Hardcore Legends of all levels!
- Note: Your fishing rod cannot be used to attack Cap'n Moray (you will need to switch weapons and/or use skills)
If Moray hasn't received enough punishment within 2 minutes, he'll retreat back into the water, leaving no loot at all.
Hardcore-Friendly Encounter
- Moray will try to push you around and might stun you but his griefing doesn't cause any damage, so messing with him is Hardcore friendly!
Sunken Furniture
+ Find something a little different on your line? Add some unconventional decor to your home by reeling in a Soggy Boot, Captain's Wheel, or Rusty Barrel
