[Fishing] 2.4 Change to Skill-Up Rate?

  1. By el <Nat Pagle's Love Child> 6 months ago

    There's a comment at WoWInsider by nearlysober :

    "Takes less casts to skillup fishing. At about 260 it was taking me 10+ casts per skillup, after the patch it's taking about 6 casts."

    I don't trust the first number (10+ at 260), so I'm not at all sure I trust the second: The classic Noressa/Highlander/Ardeaem/Tedeum data 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).

    Unfortunately changes to the skill-up formulae are a real pain to test ;-) . Does anyone have any reliable information on this?

    Hi all,

    Here are my results since patch:

    20-75 Skill took 60 Catches in about 20mins
    75-152 Skill took 178 Catches in about 52mins
    152-225 Skill took 192 Catches in about 68 mins
    225-300 Skill took 432 Catches in about 115 mins
    300-375 Skill took 817 Catches in about 340 Mins

    20-75 was 1.09 catches/point
    75-152 was 2.31 catches/point
    152-225 was 3.05 catches/point
    225-300 was 5.80 catches/point
    300-375 was 10.89 catches/point
    On a side note, I tracked 370-375, it was 54 catches or 10.8 catches per point.

    I did my fishing at Jerod's Point in Elwynn Forest from 0-225. I did 225-375 at Witherbark Village in Arathi Highlands.

    Hope that helps. I have another character to start on if anyone would like any specific information.

    Very interesting. Thank you for posting.

    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.

    Overall that's roughly a third fewer catches on the pre-TBC part of the levelling curve.

    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.

    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:

    100-125: 67 catches (mostly 2-points, about 1/3 3-points.)
    125-150: 74 (mostly 3 catches per point, some 2/point and some 4/point)
    150-175: I didn't remember to write it down, but I recall mainly requiring 3 catchers per point still.
    175-200: 109 catches (was up to ~4 catches per point here.)
    200-225: 117 catches (still mainly 4 catches per point)
    225-250: 139 catches (mostly 5 catches per point, some 4/point and some 6/point)

    *added 239-250 numbers, since I had time to get them before the fishing contest (starts at 5 PM EST).

    My orc warlock is currently leveling fishing, mostly with the daily quests.

    A few days ago she was around 290. 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).
    I remember this, because I wanted to get the next skillpoint after catching the baby croc, and it took longer than before.
