NotoriousPSC Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I'm going for 99 fishing and am wondering if Rocktail/cavefish are better than monks. I know that I have to get remains to bait the rods with, so is it better to spend time fighting living rocks to get the remains or to just fish monkfish?

Well they're about 175 gp on the GE, and what cavefish/rocktail are 1500/2k on the GE? its a nice profit, but I'm also going for 99 cooking, so is buring them really a problem? Another question: Do I start getting rocktails and not cavefish once at lvl 90, or are there two different options to fish for?

Also there are two different fishing spots, one of which is like the size of 4 normal fishing spots (Called shoals there, don't ask me why). 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...
NotoriousPSC Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 I am also wondering the rate at which I can catch rocktails. Rocktails go for 380 xp to 120 for monks, Is the rate for catching rocktails good enough to beat fishing for monks, which go pretty fast (Basically, Rocktails are more than 3x as much xp, would I typically catch more than 1 rocktail in the average time it would take me to catch 3 monkfish?

Well I tried to catch cavefish, and it took more time to catch 10, then catching 10 monks. However, I'm 85 fishing. I think with higher levels you get cavefish and rocktails faster.In that case, rocktails (you see a huge fishing spot, bigger then normal) all the way. Pretty easy to bank, and on world 84, there is no danger one off those rockthings attack you. "We had gay burglars the other night. They broke in and rearranged the furniture."
