Prifddinas Waterfall Fishing

 

Following last week's double helping of blood and mayhem, it's high time to kick back and relax.

 

Waterfall Fishing is here – inspired by RuneLabs contributor Ferenc2017 - and it's the ideal high-level, low-intensity Fishing training method after a busy day's slaying, PKing or real-lifing. It'll be a top choice for Double XP Weekend, too – starting 25th September at 12:00 UTC (game time).

 

Play now, or read on to find out more.

 

How to Start
 
The waterfall is in the north-east of Prifddinas, between the outer reaches of the Meilyr and Crwys Districts.
 
Requirements
 
You must be a RuneScape member
93 Fishing
90 Agility
90 Ranged
90 Strength
95 and 97 Fishing required for mid and high-level spots.
Mithril grapple

 

This content is entirely available to Ironman players.

 

Grapple your way to the top of the waterfall to access this angler's paradise. Once you're there, fish to your heart's content, chatting with your friends and enjoying the best Fishing XP rates in the game.

 

The waterfall's swarming with urchins, the biggest ones found at the higher-level fishing spots. As well as granting Fishing XP when caught, they can be ground down into harmony dust. This – in turn – can be used to upgrade fishing juju potions to a 'perfect' variety that gives +5% fishing success for an hour, plus the juju fishing potion's benefits.

 

Note that the perfect juju fishing potion's effect is now also granted by the perfect plus potion.

 

Watch out for fun random events such as geysers and big fish, and some unique, rare catches – such as the customisable hermit crab pet.

 

Urchins can also be redeemed for urchin points at the waterfall's shop, which can be spent on rewards such as Fishing lamps, the crystal rod – a charge-based angling implement that grants you an additional +5% success chance – andcustomisations for your hermit crab:

Take in a little tranquility and chalk up some Fishing levels while you're at it. WhenDouble XP Weekend starts at 12:00 game time on Friday 25th, there'll be few better places to hit that 99.

 

Enjoy, and give us your feedback over on the forums.

Wren't they planning on releasing a bunch of player-made cosmetics over last month and this month also? I remember them saying one for each combat triangle (corner) and we got melee last month. Have they ditched this at all?

 

Also woo, double xp.

  • Players can no longer break the boss fight with Drakan by poisoning him.

So basically people drunk a Poison Potion before the fight, banked it and then went into the fight? Smart use of mechanics o.O

Note: you will need a rune crossbow, 4 mahogany planks, a mithril grapple, and a hammer n saw to construct the hidey hole for the waterfall. Also presumably some ridiculously high level of construction.

 

(people were also using overloads before the drakan fight, cough)

 

as for the cosmetics, i heard they were having some issues with them, probably the walk animations

Someday they'll actually do a tidy fix for that old hunger system instead of the hack of hunger happens but the pet will never run off.

 

Also I'm so glad they fully took fishing overrides into consideration so i can conjure fish from mid-air in a way that doesn't look at all derpy.

Except the poison effect would keep going after he was defeated for a round, so it would keep interrupting the small cutscenes. So, it actually needed a fix.

R.I.P. The olde nite. A legend is gone but not forgotten.

I broke my boss fight with him with Corruption Blast... The bleed killed him and he disappeared completely. I had to leave and restart at that 'checkpoint'. :|

The fishing isn't bad, but i think the platforms need to be lowered because those animations from fishing look ridiculous.

At least, it was smart thinking that could still work for overloads and stuff.

Do not lose heart, fight for even the smallest hope. Do not give quarter to the forces of evil. Pursuit kindness and embrace love.
