pkthedreamer Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I've been at fishing guild fishing sharks for 5 days now. I've fished maybe 3.5k sharks and still haven't gotten a big shark. Is this normal? I've gotten 3 levels so far and still no big shark. I started wearing ROW hoping that would help. I don't want to stop until I get it because then that would mean I just wasted 5 days. Thanks for your help. 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkthedreamer Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Yeah, the only thing that keeps me going is the xp and money. Except I lost a lot trying to merchant because of a conversation I had in the fishing guild.. so it was sort of connected to this whole thing haha. But its fine. Yeah, I'm going to just keep it up until I finally do get one. The satisfaction will be tremendous. I hear most people average one around 2k sharks so hopefully I will get one soon as I am nearing twice the average amount. 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkthedreamer Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 I just thought of something.. If I am using a barb-tailed harpoon that I wield, can I still get a big shark? 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidd_Varrow Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I just thought of something.. If I am using a barb-tailed harpoon that I wield, can I still get a big shark? I got a big swordfish with one of those, so I assume it works the same for sharks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SixFootOne Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I get one on average every 10k shark, so far i have fished over 200k shark and have 20 big shark. Hope that helps :) Oh and by the way, i have caught a big shark using every method. So don't think it's what you are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derekc Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I got mine after 16k sharks. So don't give up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkthedreamer Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Oh ok, thanks guys that helps a lot knowing that I'm not just getting screwed over. I will keep fishing until I get it. Then SC for hammers, then 80 construction. Hopefully, I'll do this by next week. 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simo498 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I never knew they were that rare, considering it took some people 10k-16k to catch one. Personally, I never liked fishing Sharks and I'm pretty sure I only fished about ~250 Sharks in the time I've been playing Rs, and yet I still have a Big Shark banked. I guess I got very lucky. Good luck though, just keep going and you'll eventually get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkthedreamer Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 I got it! I finally got it! After maybe i don't know, 5k sharks? And nearly 4 fishing levels later, on the 7th day I got it. Thanks all for your help and support. I will fish for 35k more xp for 82 fishing, then off to SC and my construction goal. Thank you all once again. 200.

Erichermit Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Just a warning but don't try to see what jagex says when you try to cook that thing. In case you're wondering, it's something along the lines of "You cook the shark" #-o Do you hate Wyverns or Warped Terrorbirds? Think again!

pkthedreamer Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 Hahaa, I would be so pissed off if I got another big shark after 35k xp. And yeah, I'm not going to take any chances with my big shark. Its going to stay in my bank until I am about to build it. And even then I'm going to wear the outfit from Mourning Ends so I don't contaminate it. 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
