Fishing skill gain 450-525

[Deleted]

http : // www . elsanglin.com/ developing_skill . html

the chart there says that it starts to decrease how much catches you need per skill lv, can anyone confirm/deny this?

[Lynixx]

first you don't need to make over 9001 spaces in url link,1 space in enough if you cant link
second that 1 catch from 500 to 525 is bug
third yes,they indeed reduced amount of catches (around 9 or 10) cos it would getting crazy boring to get one skill point after 450

[Tuvok]

I always broke up my fishing levelling into little pieces of about 10-25 over 350ish, way too boring otherwise, for me at least.

Step 1: Set up a laptop to play WoW.
Step 2: Prepare said laptop for play in front of the TV, on a couch or, preferably, recliner.
Step 3: Find something to watch on TV while you log on.
Step 4: Find a safe spot to stand while you mindlessly fish.
Step 5: Crank up your WoW volume a tad to hear the fishing bobber, and drop any unnecessary volumes.
Step 6: Bind everything to your mouse so you can cast & loot with one hand, easily, while zoning out and watching TV.
Step 7: Fish until you can't find anything worthwhile on TV, glancing down when you re-cast simply to get your cursor back over top of the bobber.

And there you go. If you follow that plan, spam-casting your way from 450 to 525 won't be an issue regardless of how many casts it takes.

now also fishing daily gives 1-2 skill point(s) what is freaking awesome,will make lvling fishing less boring

This is the way i have been fishing since i started... i use mouse wheel up for cast and it means you can really relax at the same time.

To make this even easier, bind mouse wheel down to "interact on mouseover" which is found in the Key Bindings option menu, near the bottom.

With a free skill point every day for completing the fishing daily, why not just do the fishing daily over 75 days and be done with it? Not to mention you'll get fishing points along the way doing the quests, so 75 days is a worst case scenario.

This...I've never been in a hurry to max out professions (what benefit do you get from doing that? Seriously?), so fishing slowly (and manually) isn't a big deal. The fishing daily totally ROCKS to speed it up.

And not to QQ, but I wish after getting 450 fishing, my casts would become a little more controlled/accurate. I'm a master fisherman and I can't even cast in a straight line? I only want this so I can do whats listed above, but never have to look at my screen lol. If my bobber always landed in the same place, what a dream this would be. I know they won't do this, but it feels a little silly when you try fishing in the dalaran pond, and the message tells you "you're too stupid to drop your line straight down below you" or something like that.

As far as I'm concerned my character drops 100 IQ points, loses a few teeth and acquires the name 'Cleetus Joe-Bob' every time he equips a fishing pole. And if I'm paying attention when I cast, I often say a quiet 'Derp' as he casts because, well... it seems fitting.

You're misunderstanding the mechanic. A real-life fisherman wouldn't cast to the same spot everytime and expect to catch something from there. The randomness of the landing is actually reflecting the toon's ability to spot a likely catch and aiming their pole there. Missing due to shallowness, etc., is a reflection of local wind conditions and trying just to hard to catch something that your poor rod and reel can't get to.

Even more stupid to be caught macroing because of fishing and be perma-banned...

How does this explain missing fishing pools then? I see a swirling pool of fish in the water and surely I want my lure to land in there.

In real life, fishing pools do not appear as a neat little circle. Think of the fishing pool as representing an area that you're more likely to catch fish from. When you miss the circle, it's because you misjudged the extent of the area. Unlike real life, however, you're not obligated to wait and see if you were right with your cast.

Plus, I'd also like to point out it's not easy to cast to a specific location, whether you're fly fishing or using rod-and-reel. Try it sometime. And to make the experience even more like the game, turn on PVP first.

This holds water (boooo) when casting into a fishing pool but not when casting into a fountain or any other small body of water. As an Illustrious Grand Master Fisherman I still can't seem to get half of my casts into a fountain.

How often do you fish in a fountain in real life?

I use magnets as my lures, and the coins in the bottom are fish.

(yes, I know, coins aren't attracted to magnets. It was a joke.)
