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. It shows how much skill you have and how many fish you are going to need (at most) to get the next skill point.
This addon was initially written by me over a decade ago. I've tried to fix it up, make it more coherent, and also adding several quality of life changes.
Usage notes:
- The addon supports both
/fishbringerand/fbslash commands. (If Fishing Buddy is installed and loaded,/fbwill not be available.) - Fishbringer will be automatically shown when you equip a fishing pole.
- To move Fishbringer, hold down
[Alt]and drag it to where you want it.
Commands:
/fishbringer show- Toggle Fishbringer's visbility./fishbringer align- Cycle through text alignments (default: right)./fishbringer count- Toggles visibility of fish count. Some people don't want to know how many fish they need, as the number will take away their joy of fishing./fishbringer reset- If I, you, or anyone else on the intertubes break the database, all addon settings and the catch counter can be reset with this command. 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
Suggestion: Would be nice if the addon checked if Right bars are enabled in blizzard interface and aligned the text accordingly.
Currently some of the text goes behind the toolbar and thus unreadable.
amazing finally i know how fishing works
Thank you TLDFye. Only your Version works fine with german game client. I don't know why but this version here 1.13.3 dont show my skill and the required skill. So on... Thank you very much!
In reply to InrasGlowfire:
Np :) It's just because the Original Fishbringer Addon has no Localization. So the german client can't find the perk "Fishing" and other stuff like the mapzones. I fixed this and some other bugs with my release.
In reply to TLDFye:
Hi TLDFye. I've seen that Fishbringer in your located (german) Version don't show the needed skill for Felwood / Teufelswald correctly. It shows 0 skill would be needed for this region. I would fix it by myself if i would know how i can.
In reply to InrasGlowfire:
Oh, thanks for your comment, i will try to fix it at the weekend and update it on curseforge asap :)
//Edit: Update is out now ;)
Ok, it opens up perfectly in the HUD with fishing buddy when I switch outfits. However, when I use FB to switch back, this addon remains on display in the HUD.
In reply to yessirreebob:
This is a little bug i think, try my updated version from https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/fishbringer-multilanguage and tell me if it fixes your problem :)
In reply to TLDFye:
It does fix the problem. You may consider removing that other version from twitch or perhaps adjust it. There are two versions for Classic currently on twitch btw.
In reply to yessirreebob:
I know, i'm not the original Firshbringer Author so i can't remove it :) I just forked (and uploaded it to twitch/curse) it to fix bugs and add some features.
For German Client Users: Use this modyfied Addon Version: https://github.com/Godot-Fye/Fishbringer
Ich hatte das Addon im Github geforked und den Code dahingehend erweitert, das man das Addon vollständig übersetzen konnte ohne dabei die englische Original Version kaputt zu machen. Unter dem oben genannten Link könnt ihr die Version herunterladen, sie sollte Anstandslos auf eurem Deutschen, wie auch auf dem Englischen, Client funktionieren.
Im Original Addon konnte er - durch die Englischen Bezeichnungen der Angel Fähigkeit und durch die Englischen Gebietsnamen - die Werte nicht anzeigen....somit habt ihr z.b. nicht angezeigt bekommen wieviel Angelskill ihr im jeweiligen Gebiet benötigt etc (Ausnahmen bildeten hier die Gebiete, welche im Classic ihren Englischen Namen behielten). Sollten dennoch Probleme auftreten, könnt ihr das dort im Github Tracker posten.
Neue Funktionen werde ich aber wohl nicht einbauen, da es mir einzig und allein darum ging das Addon fehlerfrei auf den Deutschen Client anzupassen, damit es dort überhaupt vernünftig nutzbar ist.

Now there is a russian localization for our russian players! Go to https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/fishbringer-multilanguage and download the updatet version :)
in classic version at Arathi Highlands it shows 0 skill needed to fish, Hillsbrad Foothills the same
In reply to lltoe:
English Client or other (German, Spanish, ...)?
In reply to TLDFye:
Russian =)
In reply to lltoe:
Ah ok, Fishbringer is only compatible with english clients (and german with my modyfied version). Maybe we can help each other, if you wish u can translate the addon to russian, so it will be compatible :) It's easy because i added localization code to my own Fishbringer Version. Just tell me if you wish to translate it :)
Fishing skill beginning at 165 requires 5 fish to skill up, while the addon says 4. Currently at 173 and still at 5 when the addon says 4. Otherwise, working great, thanks!
I don't use GIT and don't know how to do a pull request, so to whom it may concern: comment out lines 306 and 309 to make Fishbringer disappear when you unequip fishing pole. (WoW Classic)
My fishbringer (specifically, the text that tells me my current zone, and how many more fish I need to skill-up) is on the right side of the screen, partially going behind the action bars. I've tried moving it, but nothing works. Ctrl+click, shift, alt, and any combinations of those with both left and right clicks, along with both clicks..
How can I move it?
In reply to PlebianPotato:
It should move with [Alt] and click. There may be something else placed on top of it that eats the clicks. When you hold down [Alt] and click on it, its background color changes when the click is registered. Did that happen?
