    Well this isn't a new problem, but I finally got around to doing some scientifically replicated metrics on it to prove it is a bug 100%

    I tested it in Despair (Lv 10+ Fetid water) and Blood River (Lv 1 Fresh Water)

    Despair gives replicatable 50 XP per a catch for anything other than trophy fish, while Blood River gives a whopping 400 XP.

    This is beyond buggy to just broken.

    Steps to reproduce:
    Eliminate all variables:
    Turn off learning of all fishing skills
    Use the same bait (I used red worms)
    Use the same rod (I used a Fishing Rod of Prosperity Heritage Edition)

    Fish in the same two spots:
    1. Blood River Forest off the bridge
    2. Despair at the entrance

    Note the completely backwards difference in XP per a catch.
    Higher level should be more XP per a catch.

    I would recommend completely redoing the formulas, especially if you don't have notes on the originals.

    Blocker? Probably not, but severe.
    Details:
    Fishing XP is very low compared to other gathering XP and is horribly bugged. Regions with greater level difficulty have lower XP.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    ---
    Eliminate all variables:
    Turn off learning of all fishing skills
    Use the same bait (I used red worms)
    Use the same rod (I used a Fishing Rod of Prosperity Heritage Edition)

    Fish in the same two spots in different areas of different difficulty:
    1. Blood River Forest off the bridge: This yielded 400XP per a common fish catch.
    2. Despair at the entrance: This yielded a far smaller 50XP per a common fish catch.

    This is completely backwards of what should be expected, as difficult areas should have higher XP yield.

    Interesting.... I'll test some myself and report here.
    You do know that this thread is in Feedback not Bugs, right ?

    Ok, I think what I experienced, was catfish come in at 1000xp, the cod and bass come in at 100xp. But still testing.

    Thx @Alley Oop - but - I was interested as to WHEN/WHERE your Darkstarr quote was posted, but taking that link you listed does not contain that quote.

    Went over to Blood River, and so far, fish are bringing in 400xp by default. Will update later.


    Later update, nothing rare caught, but default catch xp is 400 as far as I can tell.

    YMMV

    So i guess, confirmed OP and gonna keep fishing until they patch. :p 'Tis the way.


    Edit: Not such a good xp faucet, long time to fish, and not always catches. But take a look for yourselves! :)

    The scale is way off compared to other adventuring XP.

    I think the formula is borked.
