So im going for 99 fishing. 90 so far; from 73-90 I've did Monkfish. But I've gotten tired of the repetitiveness. So I'm trying barbarian fishing. I've gotten about 100k xp here and It seems reasonably fast, but im not sure it beats fly fishing in shilo. Could anyone shed light on which is faster. and i do not plan on staying at the fastest spot the whole time, just till i get by the worst part of going for a 99, which is 90-93.

Well most people I see going for 99 Fishing use Fly Fishing, so i'm guessing thats quicker, not positive though.

It's quicker but monkfish makes more money.

Im at barb fishing and it seems fast as fly fishing. Anyone know the exact xp/hr?

Test it. :

Barb is like 5k xp per hour faster but you dont make much money buy shilo is fastish money and xp

 

8. Fishing

 

 

 

I started this goal with 78 fishing. Really it was pretty clear what I should do for 99 fishing, and that was Barbarian Rod Fishing. At least at 70+ fishing, Barbarian Rod fishing is, by far, the fastest way to train fishing, and it also gives extra agility, cooking xp, and strength xp. The 10M profit made by Shilo fishing is not nearly enough to justify 20 more hours of fishing, 18 more hours of agility, and 6 more hours of cooking. A miniguide to Barbarian fishing is presented below.

 

 

 

Although quite a slow skill, I didn't think fishing was as boring as many people make it out to be. Sure, it could be boring if you stared at the fishing spot all the time. But although Barbarian Rod fishing has a reputation for being "constant clicking," you actually only have to cut fish for 10 seconds every 90-100 seconds or so, so really it's not any more clicking than fly fishing. Training fishing gave me the opportunity to spend some time on the forums, and indeed I made many updates to my Slayer and especially Runecrafting guides, and also wrote a completely new Thieving guide and a short guide to Lunar Magic training.

 

 

 

All in all, fishing was a pretty relaxing skill and it went by pretty quickly. Even though I only got 47k to 59k xp per hour (depending on my fishing level, and also some small variation in the same level), it seems those 209 hours (assuming I got 54k xp per hour on average) were a lot shorter.

 

 

 

Obviously, since you just cut the fish up for bait and fish indefinitely, I made no profit or loss.

Thank-you very much Inuashakent. I'll probably do a variety of barbarian and shilo till 93 then ill go back to monks for money. :)
