I read a recent blog post by the devs that fish bait is changing.
One of these changes is non-consumption of the bait when no fish is caught (such as having to reel in and re-cast).
That's understandable. Helpful but wasn't a huge problem. But I appreciate it.
And they're removing the ingredient need of a fish from the previous biome (replacing it with base level standard bait as the key ingredient). Again was not a huge problem - but this change is cool and makes sense (but will we be able to craft the bait? or still only buy from the dvuergar vendor)?

To offset this benefit, they are reducing the stacks of bait obtained from 40 to 20.
That's where my concerns is. SO - is this saying that if I craft/cook/cauldron-ize a bait recipe i'm only getting half as much for each time I craft?

The key ingredient is trophy/heads of creatures that seem to be VERY rare!
I've killed nearly 30 serpents and only two heads so far.
I've killed twice as many lox, and only about 5 heads so far.
I don't know how many fenrings - maybe a dozen - only 1 trophy.

So my fear is that we aren't going to be able to have much bait made if the crafting results are halved with the consumption of a seldom dropped trophy.

Thoughts???
