Tips for Lunar Realm Challenges

	List of Tips and Tricks
1	Always prepare enough Bait! If you run out of Bait while Fishing during the challenge, you can't teleport to a crafting table to make more. Click here for our Bait Guide!
2	You can switch your Bait while Fishing! You don't have to exit the Fishing screen to reset your Bait. It's different for every device, but you can check the lower left part of your screen to see the ''Switch Bait'' button!
3	Keep fishing after finishing the challenge! You can fish up to 50 Fishes a day in the challenge locations. This is a great opportunity to stock up on the Fish you need, especially if you're aiming to buy The Catch!
