Notes

Modest Lure affects fish that use the Precision Hookset.png  Precision Hookset. Modest Lure is used after you cast your line and can be used up to 3 times per cast, granting a stack each time.

Each time you use Modest Lure you increase the likelihood of a Precision Hookset fish biting (decreasing the odds of an Powerful Hookset fish biting). Once you use Modest Lure you cannot use Ambitious Lure.png  Ambitious Lure (and vice-versa).

Additionally, each use of Modest Lure grants a small chance to receive the following message: "You have a feeling your next cast will land a small-sized fish!"
When this message appears, the next fish to bite will be one that uses the Precision Hookset. Using Modest Lure again after this message appears will remove the effect.

Some Dawntrail fish are "hidden" and require use of Modest Lure to be available to catch (for that attempt). As of Patch 7.1, these fish include:

  • Cloud wasp icon1.png  Cloud Wasp ("A strange silhouette darts though the mist!")
  • Urqofrog icon1.png  Urqofrog ("A bulbous creature rears its head above the water!")
  • Moongripper icon1.png  Moongripper ("A pair of powerful pincers pierce the water's surface!")

Once the special message appears for these fish, it will remain available to catch this cast (even if the Modest Lure is used again).
