Zilyana is HOT!

My 2 favorites of my tries, which one wins? :)

Yes. They have better defence stats than dragon boots and strength bonus doesn't matter because you shouldn't be killing anything if you buy all your baits. And they fit better if you wear full bandos ;) Don't buy them for this purpose, though :D

Introduction Do you want to know how to effectively catch rocktails, the best food available in Runescape? Do you like getting fishing xp compareble to shilo fly fishing while getting even over 245k income per hour? You can easily multitask there too if you got decent combat level. Got hooked? Got 90 fishing or going to get it? Continue reading! [hide=2. Random rates:] - Please not that everything is based on maxed combat stats, 99 fishing (and 79 mining) XP rate: Around 42k/hour with granite lobster and 99 fishing. Equals to around 110 rocktails/hour. XP rate testing Starting xp: 37,000,500 60 minutes later: 37,043,073 (42,573 earned) 60 minutes later: 37,084,113 (41,040 earned) 120 minutes later: 37,171,133 (87,020 earned) Note: My connection was a bit laggy when doing this test which may result a bit too low xp rates due to banking taking longer. I probably also fought some living rocks and wasn't so experienced in safespotting as nowadays. Afterwards i did another test: Starting xp: 40,283,237 60 mins later: 40,337,017 (53,780 xp earned, equals to 141 rocktails/hour) Much is up to luck too. Living minerals consumption rate: around 90/hour or 90/110 catched rocktails or 90/42k xp. I have done just 1 test for this so it may not be very accurate but should give you some idea in case you are going to buy all your living minerals. GP rate: Depends on what price rocktails and living minerals are stabilizing. Let's assume their price will stabilize at 2,5k ea for rocktail and 500 ea for living minerals. Let's also assume granite lobster gives your 15k extra profit per hour (sharks and swordies): 110*2500 - 90*500 +15000 = 245k profit/hour GE price links: Rocktails Living minerals [/hide] [hide=3. About familiars:] Don't bother with granite crabs.. They are not worth the extra inventory spaces you need for pouches. 52: Spirit terrorbird (use it in the beginning for extra inventory space if you want but don't bother with extra pouches 56: Ibis. Take 5 pouches and 1 summoning pot (4) 62: Ibis. Take 6 pouches and 1 summoning pot (4) 68. Bunyip: Take these if you feel you need.. I suggest these only if you are low level without EE or SGS (or regen brace) 74: Granite lobster. Take 5 pouches and 1 summoning pot (4) 82: Granite lobster. Take 6 pouches and 1 summoning pot (4) 96: Pack yak. I don't really suggest using this, banking doesn't take that long and storing fish into it is often annoying if you are attacked too. And you also lose +4 fishing boost of lobster and all sharks and swordies it would produce.[/hide] [hide=4. World choice:] 84, 2 or any other world with populated Cavern. 84 is my favorite. Working alone is not as efficient because monsters will concentrate on you more thus slowing down xp rates and making you to take more damage.[/hide] [hide=5. Fishing shoals, safespotting and other tactics] Fishing is pretty straightforward, right? Just click on rocktail shoal and watch when your inventory gets filled and bank when you get full? Basically that's it but I have some tips however. - Try not to run through strikers when you are going to shoal after banking/shoal disappearing. It requires a little effort to run around them but you really save some time doing so avoiding the need to safespot them. - This is important: You should never kill living rock strikers/protectors if you get attacked. It's wasting time because they have so high hp and your stats are not boosted. Moving to different shoal and safespotting them are much faster ways to continue fishing. Safespotting also prevents you from getting attacked again by same living rock. In that way you won't need as much healing either. If you do kill them for living minerals I suggest killing them separately with boosted stats and equipment that's best for that purpose (read part 6 in this guide) Well, how to safespot and switch shoals then? A bit different ways for different shoals, these are the 5 shoals that I have found being best to use. If you are fishing on unbusy hours you should use only first 2. Map picture: Shoal #1 This is definitely best spot available. You can trap the only living rock protector easily and then fish without worrying about getting attacked Safespotting tactic for this spot: - Run into the spot shown in picture and then back. Shoal #2 This would be the best spot if only it wasn't so far away from deposit box. You never get attacked here. Shoal #3 If you are alone you can safespot 1 striker but another will still occasionally attack you. If getting attacked you can also move to shoal #4 Safespotting tactic for this shoal: - Run into the spot shown in picture and then back. Shoal #4 If you get attacked switch to shoal #3 or #4 if available. You can also safespot by running first to shoald #3 and then back. Another choice is to go north to shoal #2 Shoal #5 If you get attacked first go north to spot #2. If it's not there let protector attack you and run back to #5 while being under attack so that striker won't catch you again. Another choice is to move to shoal #4 [/hide] [hide=6. Guide if you get minerals yourself:] 6.1. Levels Required levels: Fishing: 90 Suggested levels: Combat level generally: I suggest maxed melee and 70+ prayer but it's not required. Having lower melee stats means that you'll spend more time for getting living minerals and lower prayer means you won't get that much them on 1 trip. 6.2. Equipment and inventory: Equipment: Back: Fishing cape (t) > Any other trimmed skillcape > God cloak > Fire cape Body: Proselyte hauberk Feet: Dragon boots Hands: Barrows gloves/ Regen bracelet> Dragon gloves Head: Helm of Neitiznot Legs: Proselyty cuisse (v skirt is an option for lower levels, negative thing is that it degrades Neck: Amulet of fury > god stole, amulet of glory, unholy/holy symbol > Phoenix necklace Ring: Berserker ring > Ring of life Shield: Falador shield (3)/rune defender Weapon: Abyssal whip Inventory: Special weapon: Saradomin Godsword > Enhanced excalibur Dragon pickaxe > Rune pickaxe/Adze Living minerals (amount you desire) Fishing rod Super attack pot (2-4) Super strength pot (2-4) Summoning pot (4) Familiar pouches Charged combat bracelet/Lassar teleport runes Notes: - If you have low combat levels and you are scared of dying you can use ring of life and phonix necklace. I don't suggest using these when killing, though - I strongly suggest using summoning potion instead of using summoning obelisk. It's much more comfortable to drink it than bank in midway of inventory because of having no summoning points to renew familiar. - Use combat bracelet to teleport to monastery or Lassar teleport on Ancients spellbook to teleport to Ice mountains when you are going there. - If you don't have SGS or Enhanced excalibur you might want to take bunyip. 6.3. Tactic Basic idea of this method is that you always kill living rocks for minerals before starting to fish and once you are fishing you don't need to kill them anymore. You may wonder why I suggest proselyte instead of bandos or barrows armour. Simply so that piety lasts for longer time in the beginning. I have found that most effective way to get living minerals by myself is to kill living rocks for 10 (or 20) minutes every time I go there before starting fishing. In this way you can use boost potions without wasting inventory space and also piety without wasting prayer potions. Having SGS greatly supports this tactic by offering free prayer points for you. Also, Falador shield (3) gives you prayer recharge which basically means 10 minutes more pietying. Take doses of boost potions when you have used half of your prayer points. With falador shield recharge you'll use your all 4 doses in this way. Once you run out of prayer you should deposit loot and extra items leaving only familiar pouches, summoning pouch, fishing rod and living minerals in your inventory. Then just start fishing using the tactics described above. You should use this spot for killing living rock protectors (stay off from rangers, they are slower to kill and deal more damage too): These are examples at what rate I'm getting them 10 minutes: 20 minutes: 20 minutes on another time: What I get in 20 minutes are enough for 3+ hours fishing (around 4 rock lobsters time). If you are not buying any minerals you might want to take only 4 familiar pouches on 1 trip. I checked also combat xp rates. When wearing Falador shield 3 I was getting 9,614 hp xp in 20 minutes. When I switched to rune defender I got 9321 xp in 19 minutes. Tried once also with Godsword and got around 9000 hp xp in 20 minutes. These rates equal to 27,5k to 29,6k xp in 20 minutes. [hide=Dharoking tactic:] I tried also another method of getting minerals, dharoking. Since living rocks got crazy amount of hp they are quite good monsters for dharoking. You can either pray melee or keep your hp all the time over 10. I was able to get 650 living minerals in a bit under hour (used unicorn) when using no prayer method with maxed melee on laggy connection. If you pray melee it may be good idea to use combat bracelets to teleport to monastery and recharge prayer after it runs out. Or if you want just train feel free to waste some cash on prayer potions :)[/hide][/hide] [hide=7. Guide if you buy all minerals:] - So you decided to buy all your minerals. Good choice if you want faster xp while still getting good profit. 7.1. Levels Required levels Fishing: 90 Suggested levels: Combat level generally: 40 defence. You can try with lower but rune armour is minimum. If you can use bunyip you can try with lower. Level 40 or 43 prayer is good idea too if you are lower level (use them when safespotting). I recommend you take some emergencyfood and don't multitask with this low level. Lowest level I have seen fishing here is level 11. So feel free to give it a try. 7.2. Equipment and inventory Example pic: Equipment: Back: Fishing cape (t) > Fishing cape > Fire cape > Any other trimmed skillcape > Any other skillcape/Quest cape/Obsidian cape > Cape of legends > Bonesack (e) > Bonesack > God cloak Body: Bandos chestplate/Dragon platebody> Granite platebody > Rune platebody Feet: Bandos boots > Dragon boots > Rune boots Hands: Regen bracelet > Barrows gloves > Dragon gloves Head: 3rd age melee helm > Dragon full helm > Granite helm > Dragon med helm/helm of neitiznot/rune full helm (or any other helm with same stats)/runner hat/slayer helm/Elite black full helm Legs: Bandos tassets > 3rd age platelegs > Dragon platelegs/skirt > Rune platelegs Neck: Phoenix necklace > Amulet of fury > Amulet of defence > Gnome amulet > amulet of glory (although useful for teleporting after ending trip) Ring: Ring of life > Onyx ring (i) > other imbued rings Shield: ESS > DSS > DFS > 3rd age kiteshield > Obsidian shield/Granite shield > Dragon sq shield > Rune kiteshield Weapon: Saradomin godsword/Enhanced Excalibur/Void Knight mace Inventory: Living minerals (amount you desire) Fishing rod Familiar pouches Summoning pot (4) Charged combat bracelet/Lassar teleport runes - With these items you shouldn't worry dying much. This time there's reason why fishing capes are first choices over everything: You can operate them to give you +1 fishing level for a minute! Phoenix necklaces will heal you 35 hp if your hp goes under 15% and ring of life will teleport you if your hp goes under 10% after using Phoenix necklace. - I don't suggest wearing degrading items because you can survive without them easily. Would be waste of cash to use them in long run. 7.3. Tactic - Not much to say here.. Just use tactics described in part 5.[/hide] [hide=8. Closing words] If you have anything to say I'm glad to hear you your opinion :) Check also my other guides 75+ Crimson charms in 30 minutes - Chaos dungeon waterfiends Orks in GWD with combat familiar (Iron/Abyssal/Lava titan)[/hide]

If you want to train range while getting charms you could try cannoning Scarabites. Just a warning that it's extremely dangerous.

Note the date: For those who might not know: Taken today from ge.

I guess I got my initial money by selling some stuff I had to shops.. This was before I started fishing lobsters for money. I remember also picking flax and spinning them for bowstring. Also bought flax at seer's bank, spinned it for bs and sold them.

If they do release unsoloable boss I really wish it doesn't have 1 (or more) ultra rare drop. Instead it should have a lot smaller drops that you have to combine to create a new item. So, not like sigils and hilts are. I really dislike it how the only way to get sigils yourself is either to have insane lsp on ls teams or to do ffa where you practically have to risk a lot to be able to get kills to have even a chance for drop. My favorite about unsoloable boss would be where you need to use all 3 combat styles at the same time. Also, I kind of liked the way you had to fight CB during Summer's End Quest using wcing and firemaking, for example. That kind of boss hunting should really be considered more. 1 more type of unsoloable boss would be that you need teammates to get into boss room but in the room you would be alone. Even with team you should use major part of your supplies when going there. They should just make it so that you have to kill every monster in each room before entering next room.

Don't try to catch rex if you see prime nearby, especially if he's watching towards you. And wait for spawns staying close to coast so that prime doesn't catch you. I have always used the most eastern safespot. It has changed too so that it's a lot harder to safespot rex without letting him to hit you once with melee (usually 0s against me but not always of course). Those are the main differences I noticed when i was there for a while ago. Because Prime will catch you more often than before I suggest using verac mage tactic nowadays so you won't waste all your prayer pots for killing him. Up to you of course.

Monkfish: 30-35k xp per hour. You catch them like 270-280 per hour. If price is 480 gp each or so you get around 130k cash per hour. Sharks: around 14k xp per hour. You catch around 100-130 per hour (not sure how much level has an effect on this). Current price being around 1,3k each you get maybe 150k cash per hour. These numbers may be a bit off and prices can change too. But generally they tell truth. Sharks are a bit better cash but only under half of the xp that you get at monks. Decide yourself which is better. Coming from someone who has catched over 100k sharks and 150-200k monks. Edit. 1 important reason why I did fish that many sharks was that I liked the fishing guild teleport of skills necklace and didn't bother using fairy rings to go to Piscatoris.

The guy that runs sawmill ^^ don't remember name. Or that guy who trades all those ancient statuettes for cash, he seems to have some cash pile too. And that woman at Ooo'glog.. We all love her way of talking, right?

In my opinion there could be quests that require skills up to 99s even if I couldn't do them all. I don't know why people are so mad about losing their quest capes. Maybe I have had it for too long or something but it really doesn't matter anything for me nowadays. Honestly, there is no reason other than Quests to train most of the skills. Maybe they should start making high level Quests called with different name than Quest that are not needed for quest cape. Those would always open new (high level) content. That would do good for game. Achievement diaries were 1 step to that direction but even them were lacking of real high level requirements.

Do you mean it's cheaper to leave all hides and bones on ground instead of banking them (each kill is worth around 15k+ main drop) and use unicorn for healing instead of banking them all with yak scrolls and use blood barrage for killing rex and healing at same time?

Yes and no. Actually money is useless. Wealth is different thing. I like to have enough wealth to have every best item (stat wise) and duplicates of them there is without worrying about losing money on them. I can do everything combat related I want to in the most efficient way. For me it doesn't have to be "worth my time to do", I just do what I enjoy most and feel like doing. Once you have enough wealth you can start doing things for fun. I like hunting rare drops simply because getting them feels like achievements for me. I can try to get armadyl hilt drop without worrying that if I had something I could do it more efficiently (although I don't have everything :P DIVINEEE!). To me it's not trying to gain more wealth, it can be side effect, though. The main purpose is achievement; "I got it myself" -feeling. Exactly same thing for other hilts, sigils (in ffa), dragon claws, dragon full helms,visages, dragon chainmails, KQ head, KBD heads etc. If I can do all of these in the fastest way there is, then I'm happy with what I own and don't need more wealth. I'm not talking only about high value items but also supplies. I need to have enough supplies to do everything of those without need to buy them when I feel like doing something.

Do you think using blood barrage for rex killing would work so that you can do this with pack yak (to bank all drops and hides)? I'm pretty sure of it and actually would like to try it out.

They should change that battlefield so that you can't gain unaggressive status there. Finally got this outfit <3 Basically I need mage hat still but it's only +2 difference in magic attack. Had it back in time but traded it for spectral when they were both crashing (spectral 77m and hat around 37m)

Oh yes, I was thinking about obby weapons but wasn't familiar with them. Although doing this with zerker necklace in Chaos tunnels is probably not good idea, negative defence may be noticable...

Well.. back in f2p I once spent some hours looking for spots to flyfish.. Didn't know you have to right click spots. Taking full armadyl and ranger boots to armadyl gw solo thinking I'm immortal after 1 trip I didn't die with worse equipment. You know what happened Doing same mistake again later. There are many other similar things :P

When new skill comes out people who get first capes will gain some attention. When new items come out people who see it first time when you are wearing it may notice you. If you are on first page on high scores (either overall or some particular skill) you do gain some attention. If you are player mod some newer players will notice you If you make great videos on youtube you may get recognised If you are really active poster on forums some people may recognize you in game too. If you invent and abuse serious bugs you'll get banned and remembered :P If you find out something totally new and useful in game and write a good guide about it. Just a few ways to get fame :P Can't really think anything else just now

You don't have many choices and the ones you have are not very efficient. Verac's flail, Barrelchest anchor, torag's hammers (not sure if these can train attack with crush style).

I'm going eventually till 200m fishing by fishing monkfish :) It's not they fastest way but i enjoy it most and I don't like doing things just for xp. Good luck to you ^^

Yes, I did it today. Difference is that it's a lot harder to get Rex safespotted without letting him hit you once with melee (hits usually 0s, though). And also that you need to be more careful when luring Rex after spawn. If you see Prime on sight, wait until he goes farther. And when waiting for spawn you should stay closer to west coast than before so that Prime doesn't spot you. And definitely take ranging weapon (crystal bow is the best choice because of its long range and good accuracy) and karil's top with you so you can kill prime once it goes on you. I prefer nowadays being verac's mage when soloing. In that way you don't waste as much prayer while killing Prime (happened to me 4 or 5 times that he got on me) and also you can have magic prayer on to be "safe" when luring Rex without worrying prayer points.

If they make things harder it's not bad thing in my opinion. On topic, I don't know since i don't kill them myself. I was today maging Dagannoth rex and noticed safespotting was a bit different, still quite easy but harder to do without getting on meleerange.
