Using crankbait properly can help you catch fish you normally wouldn’t with other lures and bait. It’s easy to see why knowing how to use them is key for catching different fish in Fishing Planet.
Preparing to Use Crankbait
First off, you’ll need to buy some crankbait from the shop. Crankbait can be found under the “Plugs” section of the “Lures” category in the shop. Do note that crankbait can be pretty expensive. They’re definitely worth the price of admission once you get used to them, however.
You’ll also want to have a fairly strong rod when using crankbait. This is because crankbaits will mostly attract bigger predatory fish, so you need a resilient rod. As for the reel, any reel that matches the rod line weight is fine.
How to Use Crankbait in Fishing Planet
Crankbait can be used much like any other type of lure or bait. Simply equip it to your current rod in the inventory when you assemble the rod. You will want to do a long cast when using crankbait. This will make it more likely to attract the predatory fish that generally prefer crankbait.
Once you’ve cast, you should start to slowly retrieve your line. There are multiple methods to this. You can either just slowly retrieve in a straight line, which isn’t exactly optimal but can be used to figure out good spots where fish are. Or you can slowly retrieve and stop every few seconds to let your lure float. This second method is recommended if you already have figured out a good combination of fishing spots and lures but can be slower if you haven’t. Ultimately, this is up to you and requires some experimentation.
It’s also worth noting that the game seems to change the effectiveness of your lures each real-time day. So, a type of crankbait that was extremely effective one day might be less effective the next one and vice-versa. It’s important to have a variety of bait and lures for when this happens. This is, again, another aspect that will require you to experiment.
The Frozen Throne was one of the RTS games I previously played, and I recall playing the campaign and going up against the undead only to discover that you actually sided with the undead in the end. Given the discussion of the undead, some of you may be familiar with necromancy in Spellforce. If you’re lacking the fourth ingredient and are unsure of how to obtain it, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered.
The 4th Ingredient Slot For Necromancy
It is important to note that you may complete all Necromancy concoctions, even Tier 3 units, with just the initial three ingredients. To make some of the more challenging undead, you will undoubtedly require higher quality ingredients.
However, if you have advanced in the game sufficiently to obtain the more valuable resources, you do not need the fourth ingredient.
Open your Grimoire to see the location of the fourth ingredient for necromancy. When you’re in the Grimoire, use the tabs at the bottom of the screen to go to the Necromancy page; the icon is a malevolent hand emerging from the ground.
There are a number of challenges there, and each one provides a prize. The first three tests concern spells. After successfully completing the first three tasks, you receive the Summon Necromancer Minions, Soul Cage, and Soul Catcher.
But the Soul Well, a unique room, can only be accessed by completing the final task. You will receive new prizes as you unlock this room and add it to your tower, such as weekly souls, an extra army stack space, and the option to utilize a fourth ingredient when summoning undead creatures using necromancy.
