Ultimate Fishing Guide

Welcome, to my Ultimate Fishing Guide!

This guide includes data on how to get to 99 Fishing from 0 EXP (Level 1). This includes a little bit of Defence, and some other skills, along with some quest requirments. So before you read on, just remember this guide is very, very updated (3rd July 2012) and will be upgraded constantly to a great rating.

40+ Defence would be preferred, or a very high risk in death. But if you'd be a pure, I have many safe options for you.

I will start from 1 Fishing. You should have a Small Fishing Net in your inventory, and you should probably add it to your toolbelt. (Small Fishing Net - Right Click - Add to Toolbelt).

I'll provide many ways on how to make money with this skill to and how to advance on other skills linked. Fishing is one of the skills on the Popular Game Runescape, which is known as one of the 'Money-making Skills', along with Woodcutting, Mining, Runecrafting, and Smithing. Fishing is an F2P (Free To Play) skill that will spend up a lot of your time getting to 99. I will show how to advance the fish you catch into making them more valuable to sell them for more cash and advance other skills.

So,

Levels 1-12: Shrimp at Draynor Village.

Shrimp, at Level 1 is quite good cash for low levels. It sounds stupid, but they give a good low levelled 10 Experience and a good, low levelled 6 Gp per Shrimp. You could make a few 6,000gp for 1,000 Shrimps, which is not good money but it's the only option for a low levelled fisher. You must have at least 30-40 Fishing to make profit. But for a good low levelled exp, fish Shrimps to 12. It will take 159 Shrimp to 12, which is quite good.

Levels 12-20: Crayfish in Lumbridge Swamp bIT.

Get a Crayfish Cage, and go south behind the Lumbridge Church, to find a pond. Cage the fishing spots to receive Crayfish, which give the same old 10 Experience but they are 40 Coins per. Meaning getting 100 of them will give you a good low-levelled 4,000gp, but getting 1,000 would be recommended (A High 40,000gp).

The fish will sell for less money, but if you'd like to cook them so you can eat them, healing 20 life points, you can, which will give 10 experience per.

Levels 20-40: Trout in Lumbridge

Kill chickens on the right side of the Lumbridge near the cows to get many many feathers. Then buy a fly fishing rod, and you have then have the ability to fish trouts. They might be slow at Level 20, but are worth 39 Coins each (1 Less than Crayfish), '''but, give 50 exp per one trout. '''But every time you get a trout you lose a feather, so make sure your stocked up on feathers. The Closest Bank is the top floor of Lumbridge Castle, which is quite far. But the awesome low-levelled exp boosts it no-doubt.

Levels 40-50: Tuna in Karamaja

This is a very common money-making method. First, buy a Harpoon, and keep it in your inventory or add to toolbelt. Now, get 60 Coins and put them in your money-pouch. Now, travel to Port Sarim (Just teleport if you activated there lodestone) and then go and talk to a Sailor. Pay him 30 Coins for a good trip to Musa Point in Karamaja. Go to Fishing spot closest, and then start Harpooning. It might be slow, but you will catch Tuna, which give a great 80 Experience per catch and a really good 72gp per Raw Tuna. This is very common, as just 2,000 Tuna will earn you 144,000gp. There are many fishing spots, but many people are there. And watch out! Tuna can grab your Harpoons and pull them into the water (true fact).

Level 50-75: Lobsters in Karamaja

Again, this is extremely common. About 96.554% of all Fishers on the entire Game, go to cage Lobsters at Karamaja at some point. Go back and buy a Lobster Cage. Then go back to Karamaja, click 'Cage Fishing Spot' and you should get some Goody Lobsters. They would be a little slow though, but that's why fish to Level 75. But the Ultimate Value they are worth (164 Coins!) and there Ultimate EXP Amount (90 EXP!) makes it up big time. Once you've reached them, go west-little north-very big west- until you reach the volcano, then go south and west a little till you find a guy named 'Stiles'. He put's all your Fish into notes, like a bank, except all the fish stay in a little case in your inventory. You need to go back to him once fished another inventory.

Even though I'm 99 Fishing 358mil Exp (Fishing my best and most favorite skill), I still fish Lobbys for great cash.

Level 75-92: Swordfish/Tuna in Karamaja

Again, Karamaja. Extremely common money-making. 100% fishers go by this strict instruction. Get your harpoon again, because when you reach Level 50 Fishing you have the ability to catch a Swordfish and a Tuna with the Harpoon. So get your Harpoon and harpoon Swordfish. They are very very awesome, giving 100 Experience per Catching one Swordfish and one swordfish is worth 270 Coins. At Level 75 Fishing they are very quick, and getting just 1,000 will give a Good 270,000gp. This is a very good money-making method. My shortest time in getting a full inventory of Swordfish at 75 Fishing is 59.15 Seconds (Calculated). But remember you might catch a tuna, it's luck when you get full swordfish.

Level 92-99: Sharks at Fishing Guild

Now you have 68 Fishing, you have access to the '''Fishing Guild. '''The Fishing Guild is a very great place to train high level fishing. There is a bank, and you have the ability to Fish Sharks. Sharks require a Harpoon and Level 76 Fishing to fish. But it would be slow and non-efficient to start at 76-80 Fishing. Sharks are members-only, but they give an Awesome 110 Fishing Experience per Shark and one Shark is f*cking 578gp! So per 1,000 Shark, you'll make damn 578,000gp! Thats awesome for money, and at Level 92 it takes less than 2Minutes to fill your inventory with Sharks.

Level 99 and Beyond:

If you wish to still make money with Fishing, now get Living Rock Bait and a Living Rock Rod whatever and go to the Living Rock Caverns and fish Rocktails. Beware there are Rock Monsters Level 116 there, but the only attack if you are the only person there (That rarely happens, rocktails are extremely common) or if someone close to you is attacking them. So watch out. Rocktails are about 1,400gp each, but extremely slow to get. But 1,000 Rocktails gives 1.4Million Gp, which is very, very awesome..

Hope you liked my guide on Getting 99 Fishing and Making Money out of this splendid idea! Rate 1-5 somehow, lol. Post your comments in the comment box below:
