How to find Nightcrawler Bait in New World

Fishing is one of many activities in New World, and players will need Nightcrawler Bait if they want to get in-depth with their skill. Without this item, they won't be able to fish in certain parts of the New World map.

Finding Nightcrawler Bait is relatively straightforward but will take some time to get a good stack ready for fishing. The first step is to look for flint.

Within the world of Aeternum, flint will spawn in almost any zone, and it can be common by comparison to some other resources. But for the Nightcrawler, in particular, users should search for flint near a water source.

Once any flint has been located near a water source, they can't pick up the stone whenever they please. What time of day it is will matter for finding the Nightcrawler Bait.

Some may assume that picking up flint at night is the time to search, but it's the opposite. Nightcrawlers will leave their rocks at night and return during the day underneath their temporary flint homes.

That means with everything in mind, the most efficient way to farm Nightcrawler Bait is to collect flint near water sources during the day. Not every piece of flint will guarantee the bait, but following those three aspects will net gamers far more Nightcrawler Bait in New World.
