So if there has been a change, it hasn't been down to 280. It might have shifted to 285, but gut feeling was that the proportion of get-aways matched 305. Hard to conclude that without hours of testing. Are you absolutely sure that you had no skill bonuses from gear, poles, drinks; and that the lure had run out when you cast? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/hellfire-peninsula#post-941 Sat, 24 May 2008 13:25:23 +0000 Kayre 941@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I was fishing in Umbrafen Lake and the Lagoon in Zangarmarsh today, and i tried fishing at 279 without a lure in the Lagoon and it missed, two or three lures later i was fishing in Umbrafen Lake, and i accidently cast when they lure ran out, at skill 286, and i could fish (ofc missed everything). I thought you might like to now that, since the site (and my addon) says you need 305 to fish. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/hellfire-peninsula#post-926 Wed, 21 May 2008 10:42:16 +0000 el 926@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Thank you Oberweiss.

I'm missing reliable information on <a href="/fish/?s=Shadowmoon Valley" title="Fish Finder - Shadowmoon Valley.">Shadowmoon Valley</a>, Forge Camp: Hate in <a href="/fish/?s=Nagrand" title="Fish Finder - Nagrand.">Nagrand</a>, <a href="/fish/?s=Zul'Aman" title="Fish Finder - Zul'Aman.">Zul'Aman</a> and Coilfang Reservoir. The first two are 280 or below, possibly the same as Hellfire. The last two are probably 330 and 305 respectively, but I've not been able to confirm those. So if you are feeling adventurous... :-)</p> <p>(The last two can be estimated at 375 by applying get-away rates to <a href="/the_role_of_skill.html#get_away_skill">this graph</a> - which was how I worked out <a href="/fish/?s=Isle of Quel'Danas" title="Fish Finder - Isle of Quel'Danas.">Isle of Quel'Danas</a> - but it takes a very long time to do.) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/hellfire-peninsula#post-402 Tue, 01 Apr 2008 16:07:07 +0000 Oberweiss 402@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I should experiment with this as well.</p> <p>I have a level 60 alt with 177 fishing skill.

When I have some time (possibly not till the weekend) I'll level his fishing to 170, get a +5 pole and make some lager, and dial in the exact number for HFP.

As such, we can at least guess that the skill required for the Pools is at least 224 and at most 314. I have a lot more alts who are able to travel through Hellfire and at a variety of fishing skills, so I'll try to investigate this further.</p> <p>Update: Second character, 9 catches at effective skill of 364 (344+Seth's). No "got away" in ten catches, suggesting (but not proving, could have gotten lucky in the ten catches) required skill is probably between 224 and 269.</p></blockquote> <p>At 375 skill I've never had a get-away, so logically the minimum skill is 280 or less (unless it changed late in 2.4 testing). If you're levelling up fishing skill, it would be great if you could check at 275 and 280 to see if you can cast. Assuming your raw skill is 271 at the moment, you can test slightly higher skills by using the +5 strong pole (from fishing vendors) and/or Captain Rumsey's Lager for +10 (ask around on the trade channel - plenty will be able to make it by now). </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/hellfire-peninsula#post-382 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 10:49:48 +0000 Heffro 382@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>271 fishing is not high enough to fish in HFP. Perhaps the minimum level is 300 since 2.4? </p>
