Sinkhan Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 As they're relatively cheap at about 100 GP per dose, would it be worthwhile to use fishing potions while fishing close to a bank (ie. Monkfish, Catherby or Guild)? I could just keep a 4 doser in my inventory and take a sip every time I restored back to my base level. Since I'd be close to a bank, I don't think the inventory spot lost would have that significant of a difference. If anything I could probably just drop the potion, bank, and come back to pick it up. How much would an average 2 level boost help? Something to fill my sig with until I find a replacement.Also check out my blug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspeeder Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 If you have a decent summoning level they aren't worth the time as the Ibis will give the same boost and forage, and they would be worth it in theory I think most people just don't want to deal with them as fishing is a very relaxing skill. http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22 99 Necromancy since 11/22/25 Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 33 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 10 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinkhan Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Would the Ibis/granite lob boost stack with the fishing potion? Do invisible boost stack with visible ones? Tbh, I'd be willing to take a sip if for three minutes I'd be getting slightly enhanced fishing, provided that slight enhancement is actually worthwhile.

Bladewing Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Potion does stack with familiar boosts. I'd say it's not worth the hassle, though. How to Chin Nechyraels for fast XP and profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinkhan Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Hmm...I'm compelled to run tests now. But then again, aspeeder did have a point in saying fishing is meant to be a relaxing and AFKish skill.

But then again, aspeeder did have a point in saying fishing is meant to be a relaxing and AFKish skill.No quote Garfield, where else can you take a 3 hour nap and call it sport?It would probably be worth it at something like barbarian fishing (Unless you need as much inventory as possible, I'm not sure) where you need constant attention, but it's all about what you want from the skill. http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22 99 Necromancy since 11/22/25 Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 33 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 10 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troacctid Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 The boost is so marginal that it really just isn't worth the extra effort and the loss of an inventory space. Read my blog | Follow me on Twitter | Track my XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
