Boosters

XP

The following things can be used to increase the amount of Fishing XP received.

Action Time

The following things can be used to reduce the amount of time per action in Fishing.

Training

Generally, you should train on the highest level fish you have unlocked, or follow the list below:

1-5   Raw Shrimp
5-10   Raw Sardine
10-20   Raw Herring
20-35   Raw Trout
35-40   Raw Salmon
40-50   Raw Lobster
50-55   Raw Swordfish, or   Raw Anglerfish if you care only about Fishing XP.
55-75   Raw Fanfish
75-85   Raw Cave Fish
85-95   Raw Manta Ray
95-99   Raw Whale

Selling the fish should result in enough gold to upgrade to the best available Fishing Rod in the Shop.

Junk

Changing fishing targets too often has one downside - Junk. It provides 1 XP when received, greatly reducing your overall XP and GP rates.

Players will receive Junk at a fairly high rate (10-29%, depending on location) while fishing until their total mastery progression is at 25% or when the mastery level for an individual fish reaches 65.

Therefore, it is reasonable to spend your mastery pool on getting   Fanfish,   Manta Rays, and   Whales, to level 65 in order to remove the chance of Junk, which will boost your speed of progress.

Additional Information

The single most efficient item to obtain for training fishing is the

Amulet of Fishing

, then Fishing Rod upgrades in the Shop, then   Pirates Lost Ring.

There is a small chance to acquire the   Message in a Bottle. It will unlock the Secret Area that gives no Junk and has a higher chance of special items.

It has   Raw Seahorse,   Raw Skeleton Fish, and   Raw Magic Fish.

Fishing for   Raw Seahorse is used to get special items and a pet faster.   Raw Skeleton Fish is a decent way to get prayer points.   Raw Magic Fish is used to farm GP.

If you fish for special items, you might want to level the fish to 50 with your Mastery Pool for the increased chance of special items.
