Fishing
This page was last updated for (v0.20). |
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 Combat or
Thieving.
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 Level 99 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 Barbarian Fishing area is unlocked by wearing the Barbarian Gloves. Catching fish in the Barbarian Fishing Area will give
Strength 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.
