Shilo.

I love to meet people; send me a pm if you see me on RuneScape! :)

It's barbarian, but you have to pay more attention while doing that than shilo.

Someone made a table a couple days ago, let me find it and I'll edit it in.

 

 

 

Edit: Here ya go.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

I don't take credit for this info, nor vouch for the accuracy ;)

brilliant, thanks.

Barbarian, although Shilo brings in a fair amount of money.

I'm sorry, I should've said *I would do Shilo.* I'll be more specific next time. :P

I'm doing this right now, with an ibis boosting my fishing I'm getting 44k xp/hour.

 

I'm browsing forums as well, and not paying attention, and still getting used to it, so I believe 50-60k xp/hour is about right.

oh.. I am doing sharks for money in camelot....thought was good for profit....

So HEAVY rod fishing is the best? I always heard i was fly-fishing at barbarian village. I AM SO CONFUSED TOO!

youizstoopid.png

Oh yeah! Look at these pro skills! Yes, I know I suck...

Youizstoopid.png

Going for 70 Fletching! Oh yeah!

If heavy rod fishing used the roe/cavier bait before feather/fish offcuts, it would be perfect. I'm not sure why Jagex had to mess up an almost perfect ferature of the game... :S

 

 

 

When I go there if I only take enough feathers for 1 inventory of fish then rely on cutting up the fish, I run out of bait :(

 

 

 

Am I doing something wrong?

Fly-fishing at Barbarian Village was once a superlative way to get fishing XP. The trick was you needed a fish runner or two. Then, instead of dropping your fish, you just gave them all away. There were always people on F2P who would gladly take your fish.

 

 

 

Recent updates have made it impossible to give away large amounts of fish, however. :roll:
