F2p Fishing

Featured Replies

I know that fly fishing is the fastest xp in f2p, but a change of scenery is always nice. I was wondering which is faster xp at my level: caging or harpooning?

I think caging is always faster.

Thanks, I assume the money is also better?

Raw lobbies are 373gp each and raw swordies are 542gp each. There's a 169gp difference, and considering you get lobbies 100% of the time, I'd say they're better in terms of money.

And it's the same principle for why caging is also better for experience: constant good experience rather than a chance at getting higher swordy experience, but ending up with more of the low tuna experience.

Currently: Using 63 hunter to get some of those "Chins", then I'm going to range stuff down. Interruptions of agility when I feel like it, as well.

And lucky enough to get 4 Dragon and 6 Barrow Drops.

[hide]Kwimbob now looks exactly like me in real life except for hair color. Yes, this means I look exactly like the protagonist of that certain anime that my second character, Faye_V is also named after. Yes, I bought a jacket that also looks like his. No in real life I don't have a slain bear to sling over my shoulders. Yes, I'm that skinny even if I no-life it for years in basements. No, I can't shoot a gun. Yes, I can win any other strategic video game you have never played - because I probably have, ahahaha. And yes, I also have brown eyes, yet one of my eyes looks different from the other. And yes, I'm completely oblivious to the [real] world around me as I constantly engineer new solutions to daily problems in my head. When I get hungry, all that isn't food can wait. When I'm sleepy - nothing is of any priority in front of sleep. But at any other time, I never slow down. Never give up. Never Surrender. Makes for a good life.

I'm going to assume you're aiming for fast xp as your post says. If you want different advice just say so, I have 99 Fishing so I can help you out a lot.

Pretty much the same as these guys said. Swordfish and Tuna are more of a gamble, since you'll always catch both types of fish regardless of level you always risk different amounts of xp. You could get a lot of xp per hour if you catch more Swordfish, or a lower amount per hour if you catch more Tuna.

 

 

 

For fast steady xp I'd definitely go with Lobsters.

Expecting a good life because you're a good person is like expecting a bull not to charge because you're a vegetarian.

What if you catch the basically the same amount of both? That would mean you would average the same xp per load as lobsters. Basically, in the long run do you get more loads of swordfish/tuna or lobsters?

Stick with lobsters if you want more xp/hr. You rarely get more swordfish than tuna, and you don't fill your inventory fast enough to make harpooning better than caging. Happy fishing. ::'
