I've heard both ways. Which are better MONEY-WISE, monkfish or sharks? (I have 92 fishing if that helps at all.)

 

 

 

Also, do you actually have to FINISH Swan Song? I'm at the part where you have to catch and cook the monkfish, and I was thinking, well couldn't you just stop doing the quest and keep fishing monkfish as long as you want?

I guess this would depend on your fishing level?

Expwise: Monkfish

 

Moneywise: Sharks

 

 

 

And I'm not sure if you have to finish Swan song.

Crap! So I just did all these requirements and quests for Swan Song for nothing? wow, lol...

Lol, you get Quest points at least ;p.

=\ well, that was a waste of 1.5 days lol. Back to fishing guild :) least I found out before finishing the quest and fishing a few hundred monkfish...

You have to finish Swan Song as during it you can only fish 'fresh monkfish' which give no experience (I think?) and are not able to be traded.

 

 

 

Monkfish are better experience and due to current prices, around the same money as Sharks.

 

Also they are closer to bank.

I prefer monks personally. I don't think they are that much slower in the gp/hour category either. But I do know that they will give more exp over the same amount of time.

 

 

 

I think the drop in gp/hour is made up for with the gain in exp. Maybe that's irrelevant to the question you are asking though. I don't know, just throwing that out there though.

If you have the patience of a saint do sharks at fishing guild, if not just complete swan song and do monkfish.

If you don't care about experience, why fish for money? There's nothing in the skill that gives anything better than mediocre profit. Sharks, trawler, and monkfish are all no better than mining pure essence for Guthix's sake. -.-

In reply to the post above, because fishing requires hardly any attention. I can fish while browsing forums, doing homework, watching tv (if I had a tv in the office haha), and a lot of other things if I need to. It is also not a competitive skill, like mining, where multiple people have to share the same rock. I also find w42 fishing guild relaxing, it's fun talking there.

There are plenty of non-afk money making methods. In fact, fishing isn't that little AFK. Just do Monkfish for less later regret.

Monkfish. It balances out, but monkfish are good exp and money, because you catch them much faster than sharks.

 

Shark=Monkfish

 

I prefer monkfish though.

The monetary difference between monkfish and shark is very low while the exp difference high. You'd be making almost the same amount of money per hour, and the exp is valuable, whether or not you think so at this point in time.

Im doing monks atm and can say its really good money and decently fast. I tried sharks and they were way to slow for my liking.

Until like 90 fishing

 

Monks are better money

Catch.

 

So you're off good

 

 

 

EDIT:

 

Lol @ Troa

 

I know too many methods to make over 700k per hour which doesnt include farming herbs or merching whilst doing it

 

And dont be a slayer nerd and think its combat.

Ray your 76 fishing, what do you base sharks being faster after 90 off of? My experience shows that monks are still much better after 90.

Yeah i thought you were a decent person until you went all

 

OMFG U DONT HAV LV SO U DONT KNOW [cabbage]

 

 

 

[bleep] off.

 

 

 

Based on hearsay from 99 fishers, people I know fish sharks 96+ and find it pretty decent.

 

I'm saying what I hear, and validated

 

With rough timing on an inventory

 

Sharks are equal to or better than monks ~95+
