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

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

thanks guys ill try the alching stuff :)

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.
