I've heard people talking about getting 80k+ xp per hour here but ive tried a few methods and only managed to get about 75k xp, and that involved concentrating a lot. am i just slow? i have found the drop 1 fish 1 method best so far. what do you think is the fastest way?

alch the fish, use urns if you aren't already

Yep this is fastest.

If you are:

Using a granite lobster, and

Using decorated fishing urns, and

Dropping/alching each fish after you catch it, and

Never misclicking the fishing spot, and

Always moving to the closest fishing spot after your current one dies,

then I don't know what else you can improve, other than eating purple sweets whenever you don't catch a fish (really not worth it).

Purple sweets?

 

Fishing pots!?

 

I just bring 10 urns, start fishing, do some stuff, come back, drop the fish and repeat. :P

If you're going to put so much effort into fishing, why not just do dungeoneering C2 floors? I hear it's better fishing experience overall and would take less effort than the above.

 

What's this about purple sweets? I love me an impractical yet best method :D

When you first start fishing, you have a chance of catching a fish after 3 ticks, then every 5 ticks after that. Interrupting this cycle is important to get 3-tick fish constantly.

 

When you do cut/eat fishing you use a knife on the fish you catch, eat the resulting roe/caviar and re-click the fishing spot. This provides fish offcuts which serve as bait, so it's entirely free.

 

Sometimes you don't get a fish, or sometimes a fish doesn't give you caviar, so you eat a purple sweet to reset the cycle instead. Given the cost of sweets and minimal cost savings this requires an income of around 30m/hr to be the best method last time I heard.
