Fishing to 99

[Miller7204]

At the moment I have 89 fishing and I'm fishing cavefish. Once I get to 90 fishing I plan on fishing rocktails to 99. I'm not concerned about speed, but I'd like to make some good profit on this 99. Recently i put in an offer for all the living minerals I'll need to get to 99 which was about 21k, totaling about 6.4m. I did this because I don't have the required mining level to mine them and I don't feel like mining all the way to 73 from 61 at the moment, anyways I figured if i don't use it all i could just sell it back because it is on the rise anyways and i think it'll either rise or stay around there towards the future. I'd like to know what you think about my actions. Am I getting ahead of myself or does it sound like a good plan? :mellow:

The living rock minerals seem to have a pretty unstable price, you probably could have gotten them for cheaper, but honestly you're so close to 90 and by the time the prices fall again and get close to bottoming out you're probably better off just keeping them.

So are you saying that what i did was a good idea?

I'm sure it's a good id, if I were you I wouldn't got rocktail immediately at L90 though.

The people in my CC with 99 fish advice waiting till L95 and fishing sharks or cavefish till then.

Will be faster cash :)

I know you don't care about speed, but it's faster XP & faster cash

Yea I was also thinking about waiting a little like till lvl 92 or something but maybe i'll see how the speed is at 90 first. If it's not too bad I'll probably just stick with it.

Ok good luck anyway :)

Plz update what you've decided once you've reached your goal. :)

I should get fish up soon too :(

[Miller7204]

Will do. There's always room where I'm fishing. :mrgreen:

Hehe well not going berserk over fishing any soon. Still got over 1k of every good fish.

Thx to bunyips it's not needed to raise it any soon too, those green ugly creatures save me loads of time :)

Rocktail at level 90 are still faster than fishing monkfish. Never fish sharks they are terrible xp and money. You should gain 40-42k xp an hour at rocktail at your level.

That's what I thought. Thank you very much for confirming this. :thumbsup:

my bro did sharks from 90-99

it was hilarious how long it took haha. but he made a lot of money

[Low C]

Thing is agent, rocktail are 260-300k gp per hour giving price fluctuations. Sharks are maybe 150k I'd have to test them but they are terrible xp.

[Miller7204]

Yea, i've read numerous guides saying to never do them to train because their so slow.

yes now, but this was awhile ago before rocktail came out

You have to consider, that the Living Rock Caverns is a fairly recent update. The reason people did Sharks was because they were by far the most profitable. This was even before Monkfish came out. People back then only used Lobsters and Sharks as Fishing for Profit.

 

Because of the Living Rock Caverns, Fishing and Mining aren't as difficult as they were before.

Yes I understand that justin but I'm speaking in the present and not the past. And monkfish have beat sharks in terms of xp/gp rates since the release of Swan Song.

No, I'm just saying that as general information. I have played in the past, I have pictures to prove it. Thousands of players have gotten 99 Mining and 99 Fishing as a result of Living Rock Caverns. You kids have it much easier than we did.

Of course, everyone wants easy 99s. But look at Cooking and Fletching. They are viewed as nothing more than a joke because they are ridiculously easy.

People shouldn't care about that. They should be proud of their accomplishments. I sure am. Who cares if people tell me I have the easy capes. <_<

I could say Ivy ruined Woodcutting, but I think I'll stop there.

 

Also, I'm thinking of getting 99 Fishing in the future. I'm not looking for a way to profit, but a way to speed train. Barbarian Fishing I hear is still one of the fastest. So I have two options: Shilo Village or Barb Fishing?

I've heard barb is still faster than shilo, but it's your choice. Plus if you consider banking and everything.

Justin I've played quite some time aswell and I'd rather have funner game play than clicking on lobster -> range all day long. I enjoy the improvements because I could care less what people think of my achievements, after all it's my achievement not someone elses. As for barbarian fishing and fly fishing why get 55k xp per hour and 0 profit, when you can get 48k xp per hour and 260-290k gp per hour. If you want to save 5-10 hours to get 99 and sacrifice millions of gp gained then go for that method.

[qeltar]

Barbarian fishing is the fastest at high levels, but it is only slightly faster than rocktails, while being a lot more tedious and not nearly as lucrative. Rocktail is really the way to go.
