    Angry Leveling Fishing broken?

    I just started leveling my fishing again in pre patch when i started to notice when i was catching stuff my skill
    was not leveling up each time i caught something instead it is compleatly random if i get a skill up is anyone else
    having this issue.

    Skill gain is random within a certain number of casts it is much higher at lower levels as you get higher base skill your chance of gaining a point decreases. This is how it works.
    When I was younger I used to hope bad things wouldn't happen.
    Now I just hope they're at least funny when they do.

    Its not random, never has been as far as I can remember.


    (Fishing Level - 75) / 25
    Approximately the number of fish you need to level.



    So basically, every time you level, you need a fraction more fish for the next one.

    ( {Current Skill Level} - 75 ) / 25 = Approximate number of fish you need to catch to gain one fishing skill point.


    If it's Approximate, doesn't that inherently imply "random"?

    This formula was outdated for about 4-5 years already.

    Yea ive been leveling fishing for the past 8 hours now (ugh, almost done with Draenor Angler) and im getting a steady stream of skillups every 2 enormous catches, which is almost all I get due to fishing in schools and now with a high enough skill to almost guarantee Enormous catches..


    Skill X
    Enormous
    Enormous
    Skill X+1
    Enormous
    Something
    Enormous
    Skill X+2

    etc.

    really effective leveling with those catches~ so doing that achievement while leveling is pretty damn good.

    For those considering leveling fishing, the Worms (+200 skill) are probably going to be cheap.

    I did about 2-3 hours of raid fishing (which will probably be hotfixed soon, sigh), and have over 600 worms. No way I'll use that many even for all of Legion.

    Yeah, I'm pretty much set for what I would need to level the fishing Artifact. Won't stop me from getting more, though; provided, of course, they don't fix the raid fishing.
