Lobbs, Swordies, Monks or Salmon?

Featured Replies

Which should I fish to grow my fishing? I don't really mind about money and I just want my level up.

I would say lobbies, mainly because you don't get anything else when fishing for them, though at catherby you do get alot of people...so makes fishing a moving about sport...as to who gets the most in so little time.

 

 

 

It's up to you really.

 

 

 

But yeah :D

I personally believe that slamonb/trout is the best. Just head over to shilo village and your practiacally in the bank already. Though i here monk fish are the best exp in the game and they're decently close to a bank.

I'd say monks then.

I have done a lot of monks before but I burnt quite a few, I'm fishing at shilo now. When I run out of feathers and grow a cooking level I will go and fish monks (and get seaweed for crafting there aswell).

Monks are the best by far, they give the most exp and sell for 300-350ea.

Monks for sure they give more exp then sharks

Retired from RS since Sept 06

I would flyfish for salmon and trout. Thats whati'm doing right now, and it seems to be pretty good xp.

fly fishing in shilo is the best xp in the game, 3 or 4 times as fast as lobs, and actually pretty decent cash. in bulk, salmon and tuna can sell for 50 to even 80 each 8-)

 

 

 

and btw, i have seen many famous fishermen, one of them ranked no. 2, all in shilo 8-)

Ya, I agree with flyfishing in Shilo.

 

 

 

Defintely faster exp than lobs or sharks. Not sure about monks :( .

go with salman/trout, feathers are cheap and you fish faster than lobbs/swordfish

Monks for best xp and cash

 

Trout/salmon for speed

 

Lobs for xp and cash

 

 

 

Swords aren't recommended on my list.

Never tried monks, but I always grab levels with trout/salmon in Shilo.

Monks are the best xp in the game for fishing, as they fish as fast as lobs and give more xp than sharks.

 

 

 

HOWEVER, be aware that monkfish will stunt your cooking, as their cooking xp is not up to par with their fishing xp. It's the reason I can fish sharks but not cook them.

 

 

 

Happy fishing.

- Pfft, my goals are FAR too "fluid" (ie. I have ADD) to be recorded in my sig.

Fly fishing in shilo is incredibly good xp. I got from ~60 fishing to 77 in a short time. Fly fishing has my vote. :wink:

monks man monks. give tons of xp(more xp than shark) and are faster than shark

my sig hates me, I cant get it to work :(

Ok, we've all agreed that sharks and lobs aren't the way to go, but does anyone have an opinion on monks vs fly fishing :-k

Fly fishing is the fastest fishing experience there is. But, if you aren't sure, simply try a little of each. Fish monks for an hour, and keep track of your xp gained, then fly fish for the same amount of time. Then, you can make your decision off of that.
