Note that these are just my averaged out estimates,some can be correct,others can't,luck has a factor in this. /quote

 

 

 

I dont quite inderstand the averaging but oh well

 

 

 

Other questions answered from this topic were:

 

 

 

Do the big fish look any different from the normal fish:

 

Yes they look slightly bigger and they identify as big (bass, swordfish, shark)

 

 

 

Are there any special fishing spots for catching these fish?

 

None known

 

 

 

Do you have to be a certain construction level to catch these fish or obtain the monster head?

 

Nope, you can be any construction level. But you need to right construction level to make the trophies

 

 

 

Do you need to talk to the taxidermist before you can get the big fish or the heads?

 

No

 

 

 

Do the big fish take up a separate space in your bank?

 

Yes

 

 

 

Do the big fish appear in your inventory or on the floor?

 

They appear in your inventory

 

 

 

So basically once you get a big fish or monster head you need to take it to the taxidermist in canifis to get it stuffed. It costs some money to get it stuffed. Then you need your stuffed fish or head with the right construction materials to make it into a trophy.

 

 

 

The chance of getting a monster head or a big fish are RANDOM. Some people get them after a few fishes caught/monsters killed and others it take hundreds to get them. So just keep at it and you will get one eventually. Any other questions or information please post and ill try to find out the answer.

 

 

 

If anyone knows if the monster heads or big fish are tradeable please post for definate. My guess is they aren't because it would defeat the object of displaying them for your skill prowess.

 

 

 

Lastly sorry if anyone else has posted all this before.

 

 

 

Thanx and happy monster head hunting or big fish fishing.

Ah, thanks for the info :)

 

I never really could find out if a "big fish" was just a normal stuffed fish or what... :oops:

KwimSigFinal-1.png?t=1304744327

Combat 116+; Total 1900+; All Hard Tasks; (Nearly) All quest points; (Nearly) All skills 60+; An aquatic moose ninja.

Currently: Using 63 hunter to get some of those "Chins", then I'm going to range stuff down. Interruptions of agility when I feel like it, as well.

And lucky enough to get 4 Dragon and 6 Barrow Drops.

[hide]Kwimbob now looks exactly like me in real life except for hair color. Yes, this means I look exactly like the protagonist of that certain anime that my second character, Faye_V is also named after. Yes, I bought a jacket that also looks like his. No in real life I don't have a slain bear to sling over my shoulders. Yes, I'm that skinny even if I no-life it for years in basements. No, I can't shoot a gun. Yes, I can win any other strategic video game you have never played - because I probably have, ahahaha. And yes, I also have brown eyes, yet one of my eyes looks different from the other. And yes, I'm completely oblivious to the [real] world around me as I constantly engineer new solutions to daily problems in my head. When I get hungry, all that isn't food can wait. When I'm sleepy - nothing is of any priority in front of sleep. But at any other time, I never slow down. Never give up. Never Surrender. Makes for a good life.

Thanks for this. When I achieve my goal lvl of construction and actually MAKE A HOUSE instead of an abomination (ask laikrob or come see for yourself, lol) this information will help planning greatly.

it's a lot easier to get over yourself when you look at intelligence the same way you look at beauty, or height, or eye color: being smart is easy, but being good is hard ... being smart is handed to you, being good is handed to *nobody*.

I caught a big shark between while fishing 1500 sharks. :D

No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug.

Figures why i still don't have a basilisk head :(

"Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"

ive killed abot 400 abyssals wo a head...or whip...grrr.

 

 

 

My plans include a bass, swordy, shark, abby demon, kbd, and kq mount, all 3 cwar armors and all 3 srmor stands.

 

 

 

Long term yess but alot of work in between...wish me luck.

The Slayers Guild a Slayer Clan led by Axe Man Jack

Proud to have written the most plagiarized Slayer guide on the planet.

Grrr I hate random chances :x I've been to basilisk long enough to get 4 mystic hats, 2.5k waters, 600 natures and over 100k cash (from drops and alches), but still no basilisk head :evil: This shoudn't be called skill hall but random luck of the drop hall.

 

 

 

Worst thing is: I have 2 skill halls, so I need 2 heads. Ugh, I'm going to try my luck at Kurask for a while, got them for slayer anyways :(

good luck to all those trying to gets the heads or big fish and congrats to those who already have. I am posting a better laid out and reworked guide from my own numbers on this forum as i cant get hold of Shadorik to get permission for their quote to get into an official guide. Therefore could a mod please close this topic and could future posters post on the other topic called 'Skill Hall Trophy Guide'.

 

Thankyou

Oooh thanks. Answered every question I had on the topic :)
