Harpooning or lobster fishing?

Featured Replies

Simple question, simple answer, which one gives faster EXP? I don't care about money, just exp. Also try to support your answer with facts and not just "guesses".

If you only care about xp, and not a little bit about money, then drop em both and go fly fishing

Lava eels only give 60 xp, are you serious?

It's either them, lobsters or harpooning.

Also, in wildy you can pot lobsters or harpooning swordies/tunas. Just stating the obvious

 

 

 

I would choose lobsters if it is about xp per hour; otherwise, swordies for linear xp

Fly fishing in Shilo will give you the most xp. I'd recommend fishing monks though, they provide almost as much xp, as well as providing a huge increase in profit.

I would say lobs until 85 or 90, then shark the rest of the way (good money also, even though I know you don't care, nearly 1k each).

Brawling gloves last what, half an hour?

 

 

 

Anyway, lobsters and swordfish are actually about the same speed for training, so it really isn't likely to make a big difference which one you pick. Try swordfish. You can save an inventory space by not needing to bring a cage.

ONE WHOLE SPACE!!! OMFG!!! NO WAI!!! In the long run, one space might make a difference though, but if you're just gonna get like 2 inventories full 2 more swordies doesn't make much of a difference.

 

 

 

If you wanna cook them, as well, lobs are the way to go. I have 73 cooking, about 90k from 74, but once you hit 74, you burn no more.

If your looking for exp, harpooning swordies/tuna is the way to go, tested the exp against lobsters a while back and its a few k exp faster.

The answer you aren't looking for actually.

 

 

 

If you are DROPPING the fish then fly fishing is the way to go. Yes, it gives less XP but the rate of catch is extremely high compared to harpooning.

When are trying to lend something, the word to use is borrow. Not barrows, which is a mini-game.

Ibis/Granite lobster will help you fish faster too.

Pretty sure he's using brawler gloves in wildy...

 

 

 

OT: If you're dropping, just depends on wether you're fishing more tuna or more swordfish really.
