Walka92's Guide To Trawler. Solo and team!

[walka92]

SOLO/TEAM TRAWLER

 

1.1

 

~!Intro!~

 

This is my first guide...so be nice

 

 

 

welcome to my guide for doing the fishnig trawler

 

 

 

soloing trawler is easy .many regard this task as impossible, but its not. its much easier, infact

 

most think its harder solo due to the fact they always go with a team, and more people causes more leaks. so they end up having water come in faster.

Where Is It?

 

1.2

 

the fishing trawler minigame is located in port kazard, which is between yanille and ardougne. it has 2 general stores that will sell you what you need for each game. so take money

 

here is a picture of the loaction of the port

 

 

 

 

hm the full size link isnt working...meh. u can see it well enough, right?

 

 

 

How To Get There + Requirements

 

1.3

 

Requirements

 

15+ fishing. the higher the better

 

a good agility lvl to recover run energy fast

 

a good crafting lvl to fail net fixing less

 

money for supplies

 

a fast, non-laggy computer

 

 

 

How To Get There

 

1: tele to ardougne and walk south. plague city quest required

 

2: tele to yanille via house or watch tower and walk north

 

3: tele to cw with dueling ring. walk n/e

 

4: use lunar spell to teleport right outside it (VERY USEFUL!) the teleother version can help if you have a team and fail the game(explained later)

 

5: Charter ships

 

When wearing the ring of charos, and having done Cabin fever, the prices for chartering are :

 

 

 

Port Sarim : 320 (real cheap)

 

Catherby, Brimhaven, Karamja, Shipyard : 400

 

Port Tyras : 800

 

Port Phasmatys & Mos'le harmless : 1025

 

and they are a very fast way to get to the port

 

 

 

 

 

What To Bring

 

1.4

 

here is a picture of what to take:

 

 

 

 

 

 

also wear:

 

spotted/spottie cape(hunting)

 

boots of lightness (temple of ikov quest)

 

penance gloves (barbarian assault)

 

glory/dueling ring (crafting)

 

NO heavy armour or weapons. they are un-needed and increase weight[/b]

 

 

 

Trawler Interface

 

1.5

 

pay attention to the parts of the screen labled in the picture. they show you all you need to know about the current game

 

 

 

 

light blue: water lvl. keep this low so you dont sink

 

red dots: where water leaks can be

 

bright green: to the net

 

dark blue: your catch. the bigger the number, the better

 

pastle green: time left in game

 

orange: net condition. if its red, fix it, green, its fine.

 

brown: ropes for net

 

black: bailing buckets. NOT NORMAL BUCKETS!

 

dirty tan: swamp paste. NOT TAR!

 

 

 

Fixing Holes And Net

 

1.6

 

theres one question quite alot of people ask me about trawler.

 

do i fix net or holes first?

 

 

 

fix the holes. then net. then, if needed, bail. this way, you stop water coming in, and you are catching fish for longer. and bailing comes last because it is the least important of the three, though that doesnt meen you dont do it

 

 

 

When The Water Comes In

 

1.7

 

here is a picture of the ship once water comes in:

 

 

 

 

 

 

when that happens, start bailing when the net is fixed and there are no holes.

 

click on the bottom bailing bucket, it will fill the bucket at the top of your inventory, then keep clicking to fill. do this as fast as you can.

 

once they are full, click the full buckets to empty them. you run over to a side of she ship to empty them

 

if you see a leak, plug it immediatly, then go back to bailing

 

 

 

 

 

Failed Trip

 

1.8

 

if you should happen to fail a trip, and sink, you end up in the middle of the sea, on the sunken shipin the water

 

find the barrel and click on it to swim away. note, there are a few barrels, but only one works.

 

once you use the barrel, you end up near the dwarf, thurgo, south of port sarim.

 

if you wish to go back for another trip, use you glroy or dueling and head back.

 

a failed trip will deal a small amount of damage, but it will not kill you

 

 

 

Completed/Successful trip

 

1.9

 

to complete a trip, you will end up back at the port. go to the bank deposit booth. it is deposit only, so you cant take out money, buckets etc. deposit buckets and ropes, then head over to the fishing catch net.

 

DO NOT CLICK THE NET THEN CLICK AWAY. IT WILL DUMP YOUR CATCH AND ALLOW OTHER TO STEAL IT...IMMEDIATELY!

 

right click withdraw all on the fish you want. you can also get junk, but i leave it.

 

 

 

Your Catch

 

2.0

 

the higher lvl you have in fishing, the better the fish you will catch. i am 74 fishing and this is an example of my general catches:

 

 

 

 

the lvls to catch special trawler fish are:

 

 

 

 

 

turtle: 79

 

manta ray: 81

 

 

 

FAQ

 

2.1

 

 

 

q1: how often do you do trawler?

 

a1: once or twice a day

 

 

 

Q2: can i come and do trawler with you?

 

a2: after reading my guide why dont you try to do it solo? i dont go with other ppl unless they can catch the best fish, either

 

 

 

more to come

 

 

 

Solo Vs Team

 

 

 

here are some pros and cons for teams and solo

 

 

 

Solo

 

pros:

 

less leaks

 

your mistakes dont harm other people

 

 

 

cons:

 

you need to cover the leaks, net fixing and bailing all by yourself. it can b hard sometimes

 

less fish are caught

 

 

 

Team

 

pros:

 

more people for more jobs

 

more fish are caught

 

 

 

cons:

 

more leaks are caused with more people(1 per person at a time, ie, wen a leak springs. there is 1 per person. 3 ppl=3 leaks

 

you can get confused with what you are ment to be fixing, and it might be done after to lnog for not know whos job it is, wasting time or games

 

 

 

 

 

the guide can be applied for team or solo, but mainly solo

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thanks for reading my guide, any updates are welcome and constructive criticism welcome

 

trawler is fun but underrated, so i wanted more peopl to play

 

 

 

if you read it all, thats good =D>

i know. uhh......i used the upload thing on this site and it came up with them. help plz?

[lavaownz]

nice guide mate! :thumbsup: =D>

 

 

 

For the pictures I use photo bucket, and they turn out full screen, so maybe try that out

[walka92]

i heard of photobucket...never used tho

 

 

 

 

 

ill try another day when im using my computer (im using a friends right now)

[atestarossa]

this was great... i should really try this :thumbsup:

 

 

 

most things is just common sence, but really, a lot of people forget that..

 

 

 

less people less leaks :-k heck... the part of common sence that i forgot.

[walka92]

alot of ppl dont know that less ppl cause less leaks, but its true

 

 

 

 

 

wen i solo...most leaks at a time is like..3

 

 

 

during team trips a side can have like all but 3 holes open at a time

[atestarossa]

so that means that the best way to do trawler is either

 

 

 

1: beeng solo, for few leaks, or

 

 

 

2: beeng so many, that the amount of leaks can't encrease anymore?? (like the trawler events here)

 

 

 

right?

please rephrase that?

[walka92]

no one likes my guide? :( :cry:

[primadog]

nice guide

 

7/10 , all you need is a bit more editting.

[mhosseins]

I tried this guide out first time i was in a group but it seemed no one except me had brought much swamp paste.

 

 

 

Second try i lagged

 

 

 

Third try i i ran out of rope half way thourgh and ran out of swamp paste with lonyl a minute to go and i managed to win by the skin of my teeth :D

 

 

 

I got to collect my prize and its 10 oysters 2 anchovies and a pot. :x

 

 

 

So this guide effectivley works even though trawler doesnt (or is it because i have 32 fishing?)

its coz u have a low fishing lvl

 

also, another reason i dont like teams is relying on other ppl :|

[mojo477]

you kno if the ship is more full with water then it goes down lower to the better catches like the manta rays and sea turtles

[walka92]

didnt know that

 

 

 

ill add it wen i get a chance

[Sonicspeed]

I'm not sure if the "fullness" of the ship with water having better catches is a myth or if it's true.

 

 

 

It'd be a good idea to test it.

[aoe325]

Very good guide! :D

 

I wasnt aware the fishing trawler was soloale. :shock:

 

 

 

But you did forgot a thing or two.

 

 

 

The absolute best way to get to the fishing trawler is to charter a boat. So when you want to go to the trawler either ecto to port Phasmatys and charter ( Fast, but costy) or head to a port if its faster.

 

 

 

When you fail, you end up near port sarim, so all you have to do is run there and charter a boat to the trawler.

 

 

 

When wearing the ring of charos, and having done Cabin fever, the prices for chartering are :

 

 

 

Port Sarim : 320 (real cheap)

 

Catherby, Brimhaven, Karamja, Shipyard : 400

 

Port Tyras : 800

 

Port Phasmatys & Mos'le harmless : 1025

 

 

 

With only a requirement met its twice the price, with none its 4 times the price.

 

 

 

 

 

You also made a little error here :

 

 

 

note, there are a few buckets, but only one works.

 

(arent they barrels?)

 

 

 

And there is absolutely no capitalization in your guide.

 

 

 

Final Rating : 8/10

 

Good guide! :)

 

 

 

 

 

Edit : Wow me! Way to post a constructive reply :XD: I think I have too much time on my hands. :

[Elessar3019]

It's a really good guide. I didn't know that trawler was solo-able!

 

 

 

If you use imageshack for the pics, just go into the coding and remove a piece that says ".th". That puts the pic as a thumbnail.

[Etta]

Yay for trawler :D

 

Nice guide - and thankyou for the Brine Sabre!

[walka92]

heh np

 

 

 

 

 

(for those wondering, i gave him a brine sabre at the rogues den, when i saw him)

[Death_Dude74]

nice guide

 

7/10 , all you need is a bit more editting.

 

 

 

Agreed. Fix the BB and use photobucket. The images are way too small. Have what you need to wear as a pic. Change some of the lighter (re:bright yellow) headings.

 

 

 

Not a very appealing look, but the information seemed overall solid.
