About this addon

What it does

BrinyBest is a lightweight panel for The Briny Best achievement (Midnight fishing). It shows, for the zone you are standing in, every Midnight Anglin' fish with your current points and catch rank, your zone total vs. maximum, and whether each fish's catch rates are best in open water or in pools.

Features:

  • Auto-appears in Midnight fishing zones, hides everywhere else; X button hides it for the current session
  • Per-fish Anglin' Score and Catch Rank (Guppy, Minnow, Pike, Shark, Trophy), sorted by score, colored by journal rarity
  • Zone total vs. zone maximum (each fish caps at 100 points at Trophy rank) and Trophy count
  • - Warband Anglin' Score header with the precise decimal value, against the 2500 achievement target (2700 theoretical max)
  • (open) / (pool) / (either) tag showing where each fish's catch rates are best - every Midnight fish can be caught both ways
  • Improvement alerts: when a catch raises a fish's score you get a chat notification like "Improved Dirty Darter: 62.7 to 91.2", with rank-up callouts
  • Trophy celebration: reaching Trophy rank fires an animated golden toast with the fish's icon and the legendary loot fanfare
  • Rich tooltips per fish: rank progress, special throw-back ability, named fishing pools, and the exact rate text
  • Live updates as you catch fish - no journal opening required

All data comes live from Blizzard's own records (each journal fish is readable via its spell description), so nothing is estimated and nothing needs manual updates.

Commands: /bbf toggles the panel, /bbf lock and /bbf unlock control the position, /bbf reset re-centers it, /bbf refresh forces a data refresh, and /bbf debug prints diagnostics.
