Fishing

Fishing is used to catch fish, special items and junk which are deposited in the bank. If the Bank becomes full while Fishing, Fishing will continue but any extra items will be lost.

Most fish can be cooked for use as food during

. At certain levels, upgrades to the fishing pole used are available in the Skill Upgrades section of the Shop. Upgraded fishing poles reduce the time required to catch fish. Raising Fishing to

will unlock the Fishing Skillcape for purchase from the Shop. The Fishing Skillcape doubles the amount of items caught.

Using Fisherman's potions increases the chance to catch double fish by 3-12%, which applies multiplicatively with the guaranteed doubling provided by the Fishing Skillcape.

Fishing Areas

There are 8 Fishing Areas, with different fish located in each Fishing Area. Each area has different chances to obtain junk or special items instead of fish. The chance to obtain special items can be reduced by wearing the Sailor's Top, which can be useful to maximise the amount of fish obtained.

The Barbarian Fishing area is unlocked by wearing the Barbarian Gloves. Catching fish in the Barbarian Fishing Area will give

and Fishing skill experience. This Strength experience is also affected by the experience bonus from Gold Emerald Ring.

The Secret Area is unlocked by reading the Message in a Bottle in the Bank.

Both the Message in a Bottle and Barbarian Gloves are special items that can be found while fishing.

Fish

As the player's Fishing level increases, new fish that give more experience will become available to catch. Leaping Trout, Leaping Salmon, and Leaping Broad Fish, will train

points each. Raw Magic Fish can be eaten to restore health without cooking. Raw Poison Fish are used as an ingredient for the Performance Enhancing Potion. Leaping Trout, Leaping Salmon, Leaping Broad Fish, Raw Skeleton Fish, Raw Magic Fish, Raw Blowfish, and Raw Poison Fish cannot be cooked.

Fishing Rods

Higher levels of Fishing allow the player to purchase higher tiers of fishing rods from the Shop. The "bonus speed" from fishing rods is actually a percent reduction in the time that it takes to catch a fish. The bonuses provided by these upgrades are permanently active once purchased, they do not need to be equipped or otherwise enabled.

Special

Special items can be randomly acquired instead of fish while Fishing. They reward the same amount of XP as the fish that was being caught. Treasure is chosen from the following loot table:

The average value of a roll on the special fishing loot table is 523.69GP

To maximize the chance of obtaining special items, players may:

  • Select fish that are both within an area with a high special chance and have a low catch time - Raw Seahorse and Raw Skeleton Fish are ideal choices
  • Gain a mastery level of at least 50 in the fish being caught, which increases the special chance by 3%
  • Reduce the catch time by purchasing fishing rod upgrades and equipping the
