Are cavefish and rocktail worth it? And what are their xp rates compared to shilo or barb fishing?

I didn't care for them. I prefer monkfish over all others. Great mix of money and xp.

I've only heard a little about the rates, but I hear it is pretty decent. I don't know how far the closest bank is though.

Mhmm thanks. But does anyone know their cash per hour, and their xp per hour compared to barb?

Caps at roughly 42k xp/hour and 250k profit per hour, making them better than Monkfish, but only slightly, and for most people far better than Barbarian fishing (heavy rod and fly fishing).

Alright thanks, but do you know how much xp you get from barb( And i mean near the whirpool ). And if you know a guide, it would help. I couldn't find one.

A quick calc that i did. Not sure if it's true. At 42k xp an hour, 90-99 would get you 42M cash at rock tails current price ( even though they are rising) and it would take about 178 Hours.

I must have been high that week I tried them then. I thought they were slow and Im 99 fishing lol. I'll go back and test xp rates when I get a chance at rocktails.

Heavy rod fishing gives roughly 60-65k fishing xp per hour. No guide is really needed since the process is extremely simple. Buy normal fishing bait, fish, then drop the raw fish.

 

You do also get agility and strength xp. By the time you get to 99 you will have 12 hours of agility xp and 12 hours of strength xp, I believe. Of course, this is greater if you start at a lower level and lower if you start at a higher level. It's "insignificant", maybe, but it DOES add up.

 

However, realize there is no profit.

 

So you are essentially sacrificing 1/3 of your xp per hour for 250k extra money (which isn't entirely true, since you need to consider the agil and str xp, but let's keep it simple for now). This means in 2 hours of heavy rod fishing, you get 3 hours worth of rocktails. However, in those 3 hours of rocktails, you also get 750k profit. What does this mean? This means if in the 1 hour of time you save (by using the heavy rod method) you can make over 750k, heavy rod is better. This is not the majority of people, but if it does describe you, Heavy Rod fishing is better.

Yes feathers is the bait.

You can also use regular bait, which is cheaper.
