Fishing/Training: Difference between revisions

== Introduction ==

 

When worn, these rings boost the skill experience for non-combat skills and all skill masteries by 7% respectfully. Their drop rate is provided in the [[Fishing#Special|Fishing Special]] section.

== Boosters ==

The {{ItemIcon|Firemaking Skillcape}} provides an additional 5% experience to all skills.<br>

The {{ItemIcon|Pirates Lost Ring}} provides 15% bonus fishing experience when equipped (This can be found while fishing).<br>

The {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fishing}} provides 20% decreased [[Fishing]] interval (This can be found from opening {{ItemIcon|Treasure Chest|Treasure Chests}}).<br>

The {{ItemIcon|Fishing Skillcape}} doubles the amount of fish caught. <br>

The {{ItemIcon|Fishermans Potion I|Fishermans Potion}} reduces the chance to catch junk, therefore increasing catch rate. The chance increases based on the level of {{ItemIcon|Fishermans Potion I|Fishermans Potion}}. A level of 40 [[Herblore]] is required to synthesize.

== Training ==

In general, it is recommended to always fish the highest level fish that your level currently allows. Selling the fish should result in enough gold to upgrade to the best available [[Shop#Fishing_Rods|Fishing Rod]] in the [[Shop]].<br>

Changing fishing targets too often has one downside, and that is Junk. Junk provides 1 xp when received, greatly reducing both xp/hr and gp/hr received while fishing. Players will receive Junk at a fairly high rate (20-30%) while fishing until their total master progression is at 65% (5,575,000 Mastery Experience) or when the mastery level for an individual fish reaches 65. It is recommended that a player either uses {{ItemIcon|Fishermans Potion I|Fishermans Potion}} or only changes their fishing target every five to ten levels to reduce the likelihood of receiving Junk.<br>

For fish a player may want to fish for long periods of time, like {{ItemIcon|Shark|Sharks}}, {{ItemIcon|Manta Ray|Manta Rays}} or {{ItemIcon|Whale|Whales}}, it is valuable for the player to spend experience from their mastery pool to level the fish to 65, in order to remove the chance of receiving Junk.

The single most efficient item for training fishing to obtain is the {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fishing}}. Action time reduction vastly outweighs experience bonuses when training for long periods of time.  

As provided in the [[Fishing#Special|Fishing Special]] table, there is a 0.15% chance when receiving a special item to receive the [[Message in a Bottle]]. This will unlock the [[Fishing#Area|Secret Area]].

In this area, there are three fish: The {{ItemIcon|Raw Seahorse}}, at 15 fishing, {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}} at 45 fishing, and {{ItemIcon|Raw Magic Fish}} at 80 fishing.<br>

But most importantly, each fish has a higher (+3%) of receiving special items while fishing.

It is recommended that the player fish {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}} in this area. {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}} are one of the best source of prayer points in the game. Spending time fishing for {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}} is the most likely method of obtaining rare special items, like the rings or amulet mentioned above.

It is valuable for the player to spend experience from their mastery pool to level the fish to 50, in order to further increase the likelihood of catching special items.
