Featured Replies

Well, I did the quest about hour ago, and now I'm fishing them, They are trully awesome exp, heals better than lobster, but I don't understand

 

Why am I there alone, I went to fishing guild, it was crowded :shock:

 

Why aren't people fishing monkfishes?

 

They are better exp

 

They are catching pretty fast

 

 

 

I don't understand people

Lobsters can be sold to f2p'ers. That's the only reason that I can think of.

There are a few reasons i can think of:

 

 

 

1. Burning is an issue, you burn quite a few (around 20% at about 70's cooking) monkfish, where as you dont burn any lobsters at the same level (with cooking gaunts).

 

 

 

2. It's way too far to get there for many people's liking.

 

 

 

But i agree, it rules over lobsters anyday, i am my remaining lobsters as topping up food now.

Quest is annoying, need the high levels. Pretty much agreeing with what everyone else said. :P lol sorry.

Wolfy is Officially Retired.

I miss you all (Well, mostly my friends n stuff)

If you want to talk to me, send me a message, I check the boards daily. :D

Not to mention the place is a long walk to get there. Most people in the fishing guild fish for sharks, because of the money they can get when sold and the sharks heal for 20.

No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug.

they awesome training food, but I wouldnt take them to the kq or a duel. I love bringing them on slayer tasks and the like.

 

 

 

However Im currently trying to get all my fishing trophys for my crip. After I get my sharky I will go back there and fish for monkfish when I need food.

I fished there for a while, but it is really boring. the guild is much more exciting with people to talk to.

Currently P2P.

 

I don't want the world to see me, 'cause I don't think that they'd understand.

cause it's hard to get there, when it first came out i stayed there for about a week, didn't move until the next update, but once i left it was hard for me to go back...

monk fish is the kind of fish that you keep for yourself to use really, because superior food already exists and there is a good market for them

I haven't done One Small Favour or Garden of Tranquility... That's why.

 

 

 

I will fish monkfish if I ever train fishing again, but that is not likely.

Wow, I finished the quest on the first day but never tried fishing them. And wow, I burn only like 7%, they're faster then lobs, give more xp and they heal more. :D

(lucky to get t hammers after 12 barrows runs :D)

 

 

 

(hey, a drop is a drop, right?)

<the49ronin> O_o methinks ard is acting mighty high and pretty -.-

<Ard_Choille> I am pretty

<Ard_Choille> fo shizzle

I fish for them to get me to sharks. Good xp for cooking (when you don't burn em) :D

runemdefault,dmac1024.gif

they are useless for cooking xp, by the time you get to a leve lthat you are not burning every other one, why not just do sharks? no market for monkfish is why no1 fishes them

well i fish monkfish whenever i run out...which wont happen cause im gonna start cutting magics...but if im going 2 fish them and u r ill come

I've gone from 90 - 92 fishing there in less than a week, it's very good experience however not as good as fly fishing in terms of experience but you get much more cash. I'm planning on going all the way to 99 fishing there.
