Editing El Bandito

[[Image:Bandito.jpg|thumb|Coral Corral is home to the dangerous El Bandito...]]


'''El Bandito''' sporadically visits wranglers fishing in [[Coral Corral]].<br />When making a cast and she approaches, you will see the following message:

"The El Bandito is nearby... Coral Corral is home to the dangerous El Bandito..."<br /><br />"What do you want to do?"

You are given 4 options:<br /># Stay calm and don't move.<br /># Take off and run.<br /># Offer it my next few catches. (depends on El Bandito's hunger)<br /># Attack with your Great Equalizer / Kolenya Pole! (requires level 23 Great Equalizer/Kolenya)/(works best with a level 25+ Great Equalizer/Kolenya)

The last option changes depending on which pole ([[Great Equalizer]] or [[Kolenya]]) you are currently using

===Outcomes===
Wranglers can gain or lose silver depending on the option chosen, pole level and chance at gaining collectible items. Examples of possible outcomes for choosing each option are provided below:

== Tips ==
Use your higher level pole for your encounter with El Bandito so you have a better chance at Defending/Stabbing.

El Bandito is linked to the other encounters in terms of how often he appears. If you have interacted with others and already chose an option, you should be free from encountering El Bandito for about two hours. He will collect the silver and points if you offered catches from another encounter.

Choosing the Defend/Stab option will get you chances at the later items in the collection so you can trade down to complete the set.
