A higher Fishing level unlocks different methods of Fishing, unlocks higher level fish, and increases a player's catch rate. Raw fish may be cooked through the [[skills:cooking|Cooking]] skill to create food which may be used later to regain [[skills:hitpoints|Hitpoints]] during combat. Alternatively, many players sell their excess stock of catches for gold. Fishing is one of the easier skills to begin training on PkHonor. To begin training fishing, you must purchase supplies from the Supplies Store Salesman located at ''**::shops**''. All of the tools you need can be purchased from the Supplies Store Salesman with the exception of feathers, Oily Fishing Rod, and Dark Fishing Bait. Feathers can be purchased from Crafting Store Salesman and Dark Fishing Bait is dropped by several Wilderness Bosses. Click [[guides:quests:pest_invasion|here]] to learn how to make the Oily Fishing Rod. To fish karambwans, go to the south of Brimhaven and talk to Tiadeche. Raw karambwanji are obtained at the fishing spot south-east of Tai Bwo Wannai village or in Tiadeche's shop for 10K coins each. {{tablelayout?colwidth="60px,150px,200px"}} ^ Fishing Equipment ^^^ ^ Item ^^ Used for ^ | {{items:icons:303.png?nolink|Small fishing net}} | Small fishing net | Shrimp, Karambwanji, Bass, Monkfish, Manta ray | | {{items:icons:307.png?nolink|Fishing Rod}} | Fishing Rod | Sardine, Sacred Eel, Rocktail | | {{items:icons:1585.png?nolink|Oily Fishing Rod}} | Oily Fishing Rod | Lava Eel | | {{items:icons:309.png?nolink|Fly-Fishing Rod}} | Fly-Fishing Rod | Trout, Salmon | | {{items:icons:301.png?nolink|Lobster Pot}} | Lobster Pot | Lobster, Dark Crab | | {{items:icons:311.png?nolink|Harpoon}} | Harpoon | Tuna, Swordfish, Shark| | {{items:icons:3159.png?nolink|Karambwan Vessel}} | Karambwan Vessel | Karambwan | {{tablelayout?colwidth="60px,150px,200px"}} ^ Fishing Bait ^^^ ^ Name ^^ Used for ^ | {{items:icons:313.png?nolink|Fishing Bait}} | Fishing Bait | Sardine, Sacred Eel, Lava Eel | | {{items:icons:314.png?nolink|Feather}} | Feather | Trout, Salmon | | {{items:icons:3150.png?nolink|Raw Karambwanji}} | Raw Karambwanji | Karambwan | | {{items:icons:11940.png?nolink|Dark Fishing Bait}} | Dark Fishing Bait | Dark Crab | | {{items:icons:50021.png?nolink|Living Minerals}} | Living Minerals | Rocktail | ** Fishing Spots** **Key:**\\ Red = Shrimp & Bass\\ Orange = Tuna, Lobster & Swordfish\\ Yellow = Bass & Monkfish\\ Green = Rocktail\\ Blue = Manta ray\\ Black = Shark\\ Brown = Tuna & Salmon\\ **Skilling Center:**\\ {{https://imgur.com/rwjtcDN.png?nolink400|}}\\ To teleport here type '::skilling' **Premium Skilling Zone:**\\ {{https://imgur.com/AS6v7xs.png?nolink400}}\\ **Catherby:**\\ {{https://imgur.com/LZlzxxH.png?nolink400}}\\ To Teleport here, click on the fishing teleport option in Skilling Teleports. ---- **Leveling Method 1-99** The quickest way to achieve Level 99 & some alternatives... ^ Fish ^^ Catch from ^ Catch to ^ Amount needed ^ | {{:items:icons:317.png?nolink|Raw Shrimp}} | Shrimp | Level 1 | Level 35 | 75 | | {{:items:icons:359.png?nolink|Raw Tuna}} | Tuna | Level 35 | Level 50 | 33 | | {{:items:icons:371.png?nolink|Raw Swordfish}} | Swordfish | Level 50 | Level 62 | 78 | | {{:items:icons:7944.png?nolink|Raw Monkfish}} | Monkfish | Level 62 | Level 99 | 2,117 | And the alternative, for a profit.. ^ Fish ^^ Catch from ^ Catch to ^ Amount needed ^ | {{:items:icons:7944.png?nolink|Raw Monkfish}} | Monkfish | Level 62 | Level 81 | 310 | | {{:items:icons:389.png?nolink|Raw Manta Ray}} | Manta ray | Level 81 | Level 99* | 1,205 | | {{:items:icons:41840.png?nolink|Raw Rocktail}} | Rocktail | Level 93 | Level 99 | 513 | Non premium players continue to 99 on Manta ray, Premium players catch 556 Manta rays to level 93, proceed to Rocktails. **Leveling Method 99-2b** The best methods to 2B experience... I did 5 test runs for each of these methods to see how fast/slow they really are. It's not 100% accurate, but I'd like to think it's relatively close. Keep in mind that the EXP rates are if you are fishing 100% of the time(cook/bank time not taken into consideration). ^ Fish ^^ Amount needed ^ With brawlers ^ EXP/Second ^ With brawlers ^ | {{:items:icons:7944.png?nolink|Raw Monkfish}} | Monkfish | 331,161 | 254,740 | 8,666.66 | 11,266.66 | | {{:items:icons:389.png?nolink|Raw Manta Ray}} | Manta ray | 220,774 | 169,827 | 4,500 | 5,850 | | {{:items:icons:41840.png?nolink|Raw Rocktail}} | Rocktail | 174,296 | 134,074 | 4,276.07 | 5,557.99 | | {{:items:icons:11934.png?nolink|Raw Dark Crab}} | Dark Crab| 140,914 | 108,396 | 11,752 | 15,277 | Monkfish are the fastest way to 2 billion experience, as you don't need to bank making them 2-3x faster than other methods. Update: Dark crabs are faster at the wilderness resource area, you can right-click note them at the npc in that area. If you also bring your cooking brawlers you can cook them on the fire next to the fishing spot, then trade your COOKED dark crabs for raw rocktails and cook those again. So you end up with noted rocktails and even more cooking xp. You can also bank the raw crabs and cook them later, proceed to trade the noted cooked crabs to the same npc for raw rocktails again. If you only note your raw crabs you can expect a fishing xp of 55m/hour. When going for 2b xp it might be worth going after the Dragon harpoon, this item is a 1/1000 drop from level 99'wyrms'. The special attack of this equip-able harpoon gives you +3 fishing levels at the cost of 100% special attack. You can use the ring of vigour to save 10% spec or the ring of vigour (i) to save 15% spec. This way you can use the special attack more often giving you overall a longer boosted time. The extra fishing levels give you a slightly faster catching rate. **Levels & Experience** ^ Fish ^^ Level ^ EXP ^ Tool ^ Bait ^ | {{:items:icons:317.png?nolink|Raw Shrimp}} | Shrimp | Level 1 | 300 EXP | Small fishing net | - | | {{items:icons:3150.png?nolink|Raw Karambwanji}} | Karambwanji| Level 5 | 300 EXP | Small fishing net | - | | {{:items:icons:335.png?nolink|Raw Trout}} | Trout | Level 20 | 1,575 EXP | Fly fishing rod | Feather | | {{:items:icons:331.png?nolink|Raw Salmon}} | Salmon | Level 30 | 2,205 EXP | Fly fishing rod | Feather | | {{:items:icons:359.png?nolink|Raw Tuna}} | Tuna | Level 35 | 2,400 EXP | Harpoon | - | | {{:items:icons:377.png?nolink|Raw Lobster}} | Lobster | Level 40 | 2,700 EXP | Lobster Pot | - | | {{:items:icons:363.png?nolink|Raw Bass}} | Bass | Level 49 | 3,600 EXP | Small fishing net | - | | {{:items:icons:371.png?nolink|Raw Swordfish}} | Swordfish | Level 50 | 3,000 EXP | Harpoon | - | | {{:items:icons:7944.png?nolink|Raw Monkfish}} | Monkfish | Level 62 | 6,000 EXP | Small fishing net | - | | {{:items:icons:3142.png?nolink|Raw Karambwan}} | Karambwan | Level 65 | 7,500 EXP | Karambwan vessel | Raw Karambwanji| | {{:items:icons:383.png?nolink|Raw Shark}} | Shark | Level 76 | 7,500 EXP | Harpoon | - | | {{:items:icons:389.png?nolink|Raw Manta Ray}} | Manta ray | Level 81 | 9,000 EXP | Small fishing net | - | | {{:items:icons:11934.png?nolink|Raw Dark Crab}} | Dark Crab| Level 85 | 14,100 EXP | Lobster pot | Dark fishing bait | | {{:items:icons:2148.png?nolink|Raw Lava Eel}} | Lava eel | Level 92 | 11,400 EXP | Oily fishing rod | Fishing bait | | {{:items:icons:41840.png?nolink|Raw Rocktail}} | Rocktail | Level 93 | 11,400 EXP | Fishing rod | Living mineral | **Useful Items** {{tablelayout?colwidth="80px,240px,480px"}} ^ Item ^^ Effects ^ | {{items:icons:42708.png?nolink|Brawling Gloves (fishing)}} | [[items:brawling_gloves|Brawling Gloves (fishing)]] | 30% Additional Experience and PkP | | {{items:icons:10129.png?nolink|Barb-tail Harpoon}} | [[items:barb-tail_harpoon|Barb-tail Harpoon]] | Wieldable Harpoon that saves an inventory space | | {{items:icons:21028.png?nolink|Dragon Harpoon}} | [[items:dragon_harpoon|Dragon Harpoon]] | Wieldable Harpoon that saves an inventory space | {{wst>skills}}
