June 4, 200620 yr Trophies are a new item to add to your house to display your skill prowess. There are two types of trophies, monster head trophies and fish trophies, which can be displayed in your skill hall(s). This is a link to the knowledge database page on skill halls: http://kbase.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/ ... le_id=2564 There are two types of trophies, monster head trophies and fish trophies. To make them you need to get either a monster head or a special type of fish (a big fish). You can then get them stuffed at the taxidermist in Canifis for a fee. Please see the Construction NPC page in the knowledge database for more info on the taxidermist: http://kbase.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/ ... le_id=2557 To display the trophy in your skill hall you need to construct it with the stuffed head or fish and its corresponding construction material. You can only make the trophy if you have the right construction level. Refer to the skill hall page in the knowledge database for this. This guide is here to answer common questions about how to get your hands on a monster head or one of the big fish. The types of big fish you can get are, with price to stuff: Big Bass - 1k gp Big Swordfish - not known yet Big Shark - 5k gp The types of monster head you can get are, with price to stuff: Crawling Hands (Not really a head but yeah) - 1k gp Cockatrice - 2k gp Basilisk - 4k gp Kurask - 6k gp Abssyal Demon - 12k gp King Black Dragon - 50k gp Kalphite Queen - 50k gp You have to be the sufficient fishing level to fish the right fish. For example, you need to be 76+ fishing level to get the big shark Similarly for the monster heads you need to be the right slayer level for the slayer monsters. Firstly, the chances of getting a monster head or a big fish are RANDOM. Some people get them after a few fish caught/monsters killed and for others it takes hundreds or into the thousands to get them. So just keep at it and you will get one eventually. Here are some common questions about the big fish and monster heads: 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 monster heads? No Do the big fish/monster heads 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 Do the monster heads appear in your inventory or on the floor? They are a drop so they appear on the floor after you have killed the monster Do you need to be doing the corresponding slayer task to obtain a monster head of a slayer monster? No Are big fish or monster heads tradeable? No definately not. Or it would destroy the whole point of them being a display of your skill prowess Do you have to kill big or small crawling hands to get the crawling hand monster head? You can kill either the big or small hands or both Here are the approximate maximum amounts recorded so far that a player has had to fish/kill before they obtain a big fish or monster head. Big Bass: ~2000 Big Swordfish: ~2000 Big Shark: ~2000 Crawling Hands: ~1000 Cockatrice: ~1000 Basilisk: ~1000 Kurask: ~800 Abssyal Demon: ~1000 King Black Dragon: Not very much info on these Kalphite Queen: Not very much info on these Remember these are maximums so you should get it before them but if not be patient and youll get it eventually. Any other information on big fish or monster heads or corrections please post and I will add it to the guide and credit you. Thanx and happy monster head hunting or big fish fishing. N.B. For those who read or posted on my previous topic âââ¬ÃÅmonster head and fishing trophiesâââ‰â¢ this is basically the same guide but better laid out. This information is gathered from the knowledge database and many forum posts from both tip.it forums and the official runescape forums. Thankyou to all whose information contributed to this guide.

June 4, 200620 yr Nice Guide, Should clear up anything with people that didn't see your other post, And 1000 as the maximum of basalisks...this may take a while then. Nice job, Aussy
June 4, 200620 yr OOoO a question came to mind, That you say there is a maximum of 1000 killed (which probably is a estimate if i'm right? no?) imagine i killed 950 before this update...would i have a maximum of 50 to go?
June 4, 200620 yr Author Yes they are estimates - from the posts i have seen so far nearly everyone gets their head or big fish before the maximum. However, the amount you need to kill or fish is random so it could be even higher. Also due to the relatively small amount of people who have got a big fish or monster head there isnt much information on numbers so these are just 'best guesses' and may be very far off. I think the main thing is just keep trying and youll get one eventually - even though it's likely to take some time. Hope that answered your question.
June 4, 200620 yr I had to kill about 1050 Abyssal Demons to get a head, that info about 500 Maximum is false.
June 4, 200620 yr nice guide man !!! 8-) Barrows: Guthan helm, Dharok legs ( out 36 trips ) Obby drops: Obby cape Dragon drops: Shield left half

June 4, 200620 yr Very nice. I didn't know that you needed a "Big" version of fish to mount. I also found the "Maximum" for each item very nice and useful. Well done.
June 4, 200620 yr I just got a crawling hand, I didn't count but I would say I killed about 400-500. I got it from the smaller of the hands as well so you don't have to kill the big ones to get it. 1000 gp to stuff UNTRADABLE!!! I only wish it was tradable Id be rich :D
June 4, 200620 yr Author thanx everyone for your kind words and thankyou zsandmann for the crawling hand info - i have added it to the guide
June 5, 200620 yr Anyone know if the fish can be caught by your Kingdom as a Throne of Miscellania reward? Specifically can they catch Big Swordfish?
June 5, 200620 yr hand on right is as you find it on the ground, hand on right is the preserced hand, 1000 gp in canifis taxidermist shop. bad joke when you talk to the hand in your house after mounting it
June 5, 200620 yr hand on right is as you find it on the ground, hand on right is the preserced hand, 1000 gp in canifis taxidermist shop. bad joke when you talk to the hand in your house after mounting it A hand can talk? :shock:
June 5, 200620 yr Author nice one zsandmann, personally im still looking for a big swordfish does anyone have info on what the other heads say???
June 5, 200620 yr A question, is it only one hotspot for fishing trophies? I'm not sure if I should go for bass first, or if that is a waste when I get shark one later.
June 5, 200620 yr Author as far as i know you can get them at any fishing spot (dont think you can get them from the miscellania fisherman - confirmation needed on that though)
June 5, 200620 yr I got got a BIG SHARK from FISHING GUILD :D Finally, fished alot to get it. And the cost was 5k to preserve it.
