Deep Sea Fishing

Deep Sea Fishing is a Fishing activity that is accessed via the Fishing Guild. It is available to players with a range of Fishing levels, and involves fishing in a hub area. The minimum Fishing level to participate is level 68 (the same as is required to enter the Fishing Guild). It has several different activities including:

Minnows
Minnow fishing can be done at the south-east portion of the platform with 68 fishing. Stackable minnows will be caught, which can in turn be used to turn into manta ray, sea turtle or great white shark bait. They can also be consumed for 100 hitpoints each. This activity is low intensity as the minnows will move every few minutes, but give lesser experience.

Jellyfish
Two types of jellyfish can be found at the north portion of the platform; green blubber jellyfish and blue blubber jellyfish, requiring 68 and 91 fishing respectively. They can be cooked into their cooked equivalent and be eaten without losing adrenaline.

Fishing frenzy
Towards the north-west portion of the platform, fishing frenzy spots can be found where the player must continually click the constantly changing fishing spots, requiring 94 fishing. This method does not gain any fish, but will give plenty of experience. Continuously using the active spot gives a "streak" bonus, which awards up to 20% bonus experience with a soft cap of 200 streak.

The streak will be lost if the player is inactive for too long. These do not give fish but may award a kind of reward currency. Success rate depends on the player's Fishing level, up to a maximum of 100% success rate at level 99.

Swarm fishing
The south-west portion of the platform hosts a giant swarm net, which can be used without any requirements. It will catch a range of fish, from mackerel, all the way to sailfish. Fishing level affects the chances of getting higher-levelled fish however.

Magical fishing spots
All over the platform, magical fishing spots can be found. These are only usable if manta ray, sea turtle, or great white shark bait from the minnows has been obtained beforehand. The spots will last for a total of 50 fish, at which point you will have to collect more bait.The fish from the random event boosts do not count towards the 50 fish limit.

Sailfish
Sailfish can be found on the north-eastern portion of the platform, requiring 97 fishing to catch. There are two sailfish spots that can appear; swift or regular spots. Swift spots will boast a higher catch rate, but will disappear quicker, while regular spots will last longer, but have a lower catch rate. Sailfish can then be cooked into the cooked equivalent or made into sailfish soup (in a method similar to creating rocktail soups, at your player-owned ports).

Random Events
The area has random events and interactions that take place in the centre of the area. These increase experience rates.

Whirlpool
One event is the whirlpool event; during which the player may donate money to receive the titles previously only available from the Well of Goodwill.

Travelling merchant
A Travelling Merchant can randomly appear, offering items such as Crystal triskelion, Uncharted island map, Small goebie burial charm and Barrel of bait.

Deep-Sea Encounters

 * Sea Monster - rapidly feed the sea monster using the rotten fish from the barrels or raw fish from your inventory. Successfully completing this event will grant a 10% chance to gain an additional catch (lasts 10-30 minutes depending on how much food you threw).
 * Jellyfish invasion - kick jellyfish off the docks.
 * Whale - Rescue a fisherman swallowed by the whale by fishing out minnows from it. Successfully completing this event will grant a 10% fishing rate boost. Boost lasts presumably between 10-30 minutes.

Extras
Deep sea fishing has 7 achievements.

Gregg's ring
While fishing, gregg 'groggy' herring's ring can be found and returned to Gregg. He can be found on a tall mast just north-west of the minnow fishing spots, right next to the Fisherman. This will complete an achievement.

Uncharted island map
The activity also has a unique type of uncharted island map as a reward. Maps from the activity lead to Uncharted Isles with 4-6 special resources spots on them. The islands may be claimed using a claim island flag.

Tavia's Fishing Rod
Tavia's fishing rod is a rod which can award several boosts to players in the immediate vicinity.
