Until 295 it took around 6 catches for one skillpoint, but after that it was higher (didn't count, but I guess it is the old value around 10).<br /> I remember this, because I wanted to get the next skillpoint after catching the baby croc, and it took longer than before. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/24-change-to-skill-up-rate#post-375 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 19:25:01 +0000 Binkan 375@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I've been leveling fishing up, and keeping track-- since I've been using this site to level it, figured I could at least do that much:</p> <p>100-125: 67 catches (mostly 2-points, about 1/3 3-points.)<br /> 125-150: 74 (mostly 3 catches per point, some 2/point and some 4/point)<br /> 150-175: I didn't remember to write it down, but I recall mainly requiring 3 catchers per point still.<br /> 175-200: 109 catches (was up to ~4 catches per point here.)<br /> 200-225: 117 catches (still mainly 4 catches per point)<br /> 225-250: 139 catches (mostly 5 catches per point, some 4/point and some 6/point)</p> <p>*added 239-250 numbers, since I had time to get them before the fishing contest (starts at 5 PM EST). </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/24-change-to-skill-up-rate#post-367 Sat, 29 Mar 2008 17:16:16 +0000 el 367@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Very interesting. Thank you for posting.</p> <p>Your total catches were down to 1,700 (from 2,100 the last time I checked). That reduction is all between 100 and 300: 300-375 hasn't been changed - that still takes about 800 catches.</p> <p>Overall that's roughly a third fewer catches on the pre-TBC part of the levelling curve.</p> <p>If you (or anyone else reading) is levelling up their fishing skill on a character, it would help a lot if you could record the number of catches in narrower skill blocks - maybe every 10 or 25 skill point gains (at least between 100 and 300) - and post them here. Then I'll update the skill-up table in the guide. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/24-change-to-skill-up-rate#post-366 Sat, 29 Mar 2008 16:20:08 +0000 Snuggz 366@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>Here are my results since patch:</p> <p>20-75 Skill took 60 Catches in about 20mins<br /> 75-152 Skill took 178 Catches in about 52mins<br /> 152-225 Skill took 192 Catches in about 68 mins<br /> 225-300 Skill took 432 Catches in about 115 mins<br /> 300-375 Skill took 817 Catches in about 340 Mins</p> <p>20-75 was 1.09 catches/point<br /> 75-152 was 2.31 catches/point<br /> 152-225 was 3.05 catches/point<br /> 225-300 was 5.80 catches/point<br /> 300-375 was 10.89 catches/point<br /> On a side note, I tracked 370-375, it was 54 catches or 10.8 catches per point.</p> <p>I did my fishing at Jerod's Point in Elwynn Forest from 0-225. I did 225-375 at Witherbark Village in Arathi Highlands.</p> <p>Hope that helps.

At about 260 it was taking me 10+ casts per skillup, after the patch it's taking about 6 casts."</p></blockquote> <p>I don't trust the first number (10+ at 260), so I'm not at all sure I trust the second: The classic <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/role_of_skill.html">Noressa/Highlander/Ardeaem/Tedeum data</a> suggest about 8 catches per point. Plus the poster states "casts", and casts have never been what determines skill gains (unless all your casts are catches).</p> <p>Unfortunately changes to the skill-up formulae are a real pain to test ;-) . Does anyone have any reliable information on this? </p>
