Best Fishing in Runescape

Interesting and useful test results of various Fishing methods (at lvl 88) from Topper. Take a look.

At least one very surprising fact is there: apparently swords/tuna in Fishing guild is both faster and more profitable than monkfish nowadays! Who would guess?

But one thing is missing from the report: my beloved barbarian style fly-fishing. I did similar research a few years ago (when I was lvl 79 in Fishing) and barbarian fly-fishing was the fastest method. And in fact it still is! I measured it again today (at lvl 82) and came up with the following hourly rates:

• Fishing exp: 43920
• Cooking exp: 7000
• Strength: 4000
• Agility: 4000

Note how I am getting more Fishing exp at lvl 82 comparing to Topper at lvl 88 in Shilo Village. So, if you don't care about the money aspect of Fishing, barbarian style fly-fishing is definitely the way to go.

Best Fishing method in Runescape

I know, I know, The Grand Exchange is out and everybody ought to talk about it. I will too, but later, when there are more coherent posts about it on the forums and blogs :-) For now I just say, I tried it, it mostly works and looks very nice.

Anyway, what I really like to talk about today is Fishing. A while ago I conducted a research on what Fishing methods are the best, their advantages and disadvantages. The research results are available on RS Haven. Since then I am a big advocate of Monkfish (duh) and Barbarian fly/pole-fishing (as opposed to Shilo fly-fishing). But to my dismay most of the people are still claiming that Shilo fly-fishing is the fastest way up, while it is definitely not. To make things even more clear I made a video guide for Barbarian fly/pole-fishing on YouTube. I hope you'll find it useful.

Barbarian Assault for Advanced Adventurers

Barbarian Assault is my favorite minigame. It requires team effort, involves multiple activities and teaches you to be kind and patient with your fellow teammates. Once I mastered all roles I wrote this guide and Joost kindly published it on Runetower. If you like the game or if you are just going for the torso, either way - take a look.
