Preview - Return of the Arcane Angler's Fishing Derby!

[asommers]

It's time to kick back, relax, and enjoy some fishing--Arlor style!
The Arcane Anglers Fishing Derby event runs for two weeks starting June 30th!

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 collect some by defeating Arlorian bosses.



- 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.



- The 'rare fish region' will disappear after a few minutes and reappear somewhere else after some period of time.

+ 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



Event Crates and Crafting

Be on the lookout for the new and hard-to-catch Arcane fish the Flitcher! This rare catch will provide a guaranteed Mythic or Arcane item!
