kil3r_mage1 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Are cavefish and rocktail worth it? And what are their xp rates compared to shilo or barb fishing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low C Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I didn't care for them. I prefer monkfish over all others. Great mix of money and xp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuyu13 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kil3r_mage1 Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 I didn't care for them. I prefer monkfish over all others. Great mix of money and xp. Mhmm thanks. But does anyone know their cash per hour, and their xp per hour compared to barb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

Low C Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaaps1 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 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. ~It's Super Effective!

Zaaps1 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 You can also use regular bait, which is cheaper. ~It's Super Effective!
