Fishbringer 3.0 with 100% catch rate in Stormwind City

Fishbringer

Fishbringer is a lightweight addon for helping out when leveling fishing. It shows helpful information regarding how much skill is needed for the particular zones with data gathered from WoWWiki's "Fishing skill requirements by zone". It shows how much skill you have and how many fish you are going to need (at most) to get the next skill point. The image to the right should be quite explanatory.

To toggle Fishbringer, either equip a fishing pole or type /fishbringer, /fb* or /fbr. To move Fishbringer, hold down <Alt> and drag it to where you want it.

*: If Fishing Buddy is loaded, /fb will be unavailable.

Please report any issues to me and I will try to fix them. If a zone is marked with 0 in skill and it is possible to fish there, please notify me. I have not been prioritizing localization of the addon... yet. Resultingly it will only work on English clients.

NVM...
I modified the lua file myself and up'ed all the font sizes by 2.
Now I can read it just fine.

I've been very pleased with its minimalism and information density. It's quite elegant. That said, there are two things I'd like to suggest, for your perusal: Make the frame "click-through" when it's locked. If you do that, I can actually move it to center screen and not worry about avoiding it. Add something like /fb goal # where you calculated the number of casts, per the cast level scale, you have left to make before fishing skill #. It may be depressing, but at least you'll be able to to see something like "600 casts to 350" and watch it count down. Thanks again for this. I'm loving it . EDIT: Well, I figured out how to do the clickthrough thing, but it in-elegant-izes the movement method you've set up now as without mouse interaction turned on, the enter/leave events don't fire meaning you have to have a lock toggle, as far as I can see. Adding the goal thing would probably be fairly easy, but it would also disrupt the minimalism of the code. I might get to 450 before I care enough to make the change :\|.

This should be fixed in the upcoming update. :-) Grizzly Hills requires 380 fishing, for the record.

eitrax A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 5 Uploads: 0	Be that as it may, I've had the same. Leveling from 5 fishes, where Fishbringer said I needed 7 (~230 skill). I figured Fishbringer was off. However, after logging out and in again, I need 7 fishes. Seems like a Blizzard bug? Edit: Actually, I need a varying amount of fish. Did they change that? It's 5 - 7, and not influenced by lure, at least, not that I can see. Edit: I take it back, and I need to l2read. Missed the (at most) part. Last edited by eitrax : 02-13-2009 at 09:03 AM.

My fishing is 286. With a +5 rod and a +100 lure this makes Fishbringer show this:

Code:

286(+105)/375 fishing skill 9 fish needed at this level

This is not true, I only need 5 fish to level, I need 9 fish to level at level (286+105=) 391, but not at level 286!

Love your addon though ^^,

s, Fonjask

The formula for number of fish needed to skill is:

Code:

math.ceil((skill - 75)/25)

where skill > 75 or 1 otherwise.

For 286 we have:

Code:

math.ceil((286 - 75)/25) = math.ceil(211/25) = math.ceil(8.44) = 9

For 391 we have:

Code:

math.ceil((391 - 75)/25) = math.ceil(316/25) = math.ceil(12.64) = 13

Thus the addon is correct, as far as Blizzard has not made fishing easier to skill up.

It isn't checking for any global object created by the addon; it's checking for the same information WoW checks for to display the addon list at the character screen.

Alright, thanks for the clarification! I'll remove the OptionalDeps the next patch, but I don't think that patch will be here before 2009 though.

Also, I see now the name is an Ashbringer reference... I originally thought it was a Wishbringer reference.
