June 25, 200818 yr 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 ;)

June 25, 200818 yr 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.
June 25, 200818 yr So HEAVY rod fishing is the best? I always heard i was fly-fishing at barbarian village. I AM SO CONFUSED TOO! Oh yeah! Look at these pro skills! Yes, I know I suck...Going for 70 Fletching! Oh yeah!
June 25, 200818 yr 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?

June 26, 200818 yr So HEAVY rod fishing is the best? I always heard i was fly-fishing at barbarian village. I AM SO CONFUSED TOO! 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: PvP is not for meIn the 3rd Year of the BoycottReal-world money saved since FT/W: Hundreds of DollarsReal-world time saved since FT/W: Thousands of Hours
