Deathodie1 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 How much faster is fishing at shilo compared to lobster fishing in the fishing guild when going for 99? Currently 63 Fishing Edit: I do not want to do barbarian fishing, as it requires more attention than normal fishing Mister Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad911 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 You should actually try the lumbridge fly fishing area. Reports (and i believe them) show that it is faster than shilo, and you can afk more.... Where in shilo, the fishing spot moves (especially if there is alot of people) a lot, even across the bank so you have to cross the bridge. Where in lumbridge....The fishing spot is along one side of the river, and it only moves a few squares north and south. All you need to bring is a hatchet, make a cannoe, and bank in edgeville/G.E. You barely have to focus, and it's much faster than shilo (imo). Cannoe there, cannoe back, still 28 invintories. Uh....All credits go to the guy who made this guide, i can't find it anymore...i hope it wasn't lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh....All credits go to the guy who made this guide, i can't find it anymore...i hope it wasn't lost. I tried the canoeing when I was going for 70 fishing, but it was sloooooow. I don't know whether I was doing something wrong, but in the time it takes to cut down that tree, paddle to edge, bank and get back you almost could have fished another inventory. Plus, you can't use a familiar. What I did: I fished near Seers' Village, the fishing spots are very close to each other there, dropping all my fish and bringing an ibis. I found I was able to get 38-43k xp/hour there, while Shilo is ~35k I believe. Here is the spot: Hope I helped! (If you really mind dropping all your fish, ignore this post and just go to shilo. Barbarian fishing is also a very good idea, you will get over 1m strength and agility xp while going for 99.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troacctid Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Some statistics you will want to know. Shilo village fly fishing: 40-45k exp/hr About 280 hours 70-99 About 10m gp profit Barbarian heavy rod fishing: 50-60k exp/hr About 220 hours 70-99 0 gp profit/loss with appr. 1m exp in str and in agility, and 2m exp in cooking Monkfish: 28-36k exp/hr About 375 hours 70-99 Over 40m profit From an efficiency standpoint, Shilo is a lot worse than heavy rod fishing. At the cost of 10m gp you could save 60 hours of fishing, 15 hours of strength, 15 hours of cooking, and if you have 75 agility, 20 hours of agility training--less if you have 85+, but more if you have under 70 or so. That's over 100 hours to get 10m gp, or less than 100k gp/hr time value. And since you can easily catch 150 sharks an hour at 99 fishing, Shilo is not an efficient choice. Which means it would come down to heavy rod or monkfish. Since heavy rod effectively saves about 50 hours of other skills, we can count it as 180 hours. Then the question becomes whether 200 hours is worth 45m gp. That's 225k/hr. Pretty respectable, but also not tough to get. You can feel good about monkfish or heavy rod fishing, whichever you like better. I would try both before picking, or use some combination of the two. And I know that's what I would do because that's what I did. Read my blog | Follow me on Twitter | Track my XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunker_Boy Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 And I know that's what I would do because that's what I did. Haha loving the attitude. I'm also considering 99 fishing, thanks for that data, I didn't realize barbarian fishing was so much faster. Darn monks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathodie1 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Thanks for all the help so far Anyway. As for barbarian, would it be worth getting to 45 agility to catch leaping stugeon? Or just waiting to get it to 45 with simply catching the fish? As I would still need to get to 70 fishing so I might get close to 45 agility.

Although you will get a lot of agility experience fishing, it won't be very fast. Since your agility isn't showing up on the hiscores, it probably isn't worth just catching leaping trout and salmon to 45 agility, so I would say yes, it is worth it to train agility to 45 for leaping sturgeon. It's worth it to train agility to 45 anyway whether or not you're fishing leaping sturgeon, since it's great to be able to use all the shortcuts and do the quests. The fastest way is probably skullball for most of the training you would do. You could get there within a few hours, I'm sure.

Troacctid Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Heavy rod powerfishing is the fastest fishing experience at level 70 and higher. You bring a knife and 25 bait to Otto's Grotto south and west of Barbarian Assault, near the whirlpool. Then you talk to Otto and he'll give you a barbarian heavy rod. Then you go to the fishing spots in the lake and you can use the rod to catch leaping trout, leaping salmon, and leaping sturgeon. You need 70 fishing, 45 agility, and 45 strength to catch all 3 and get the best exp. You can fish indefinitely without needing more bait, because using a knife on a leaping fish provides you with fish offcuts and roe or caviar, all of which can be used as bait. So you fish until you have a full inventory, gut all the fish, use the fish offcuts to refill any spaces where you didn't receive roe or caviar, and then drop your offcuts so that you can use the roe and caviar for bait instead. Then you can repeat the process. Catching the fish provides agility and strength exp as well as fishing, and gitting them is worth cooking exp.
