RUNESCAPE FISHING GUIDE

We all know that fishing is one of the core gathering skills in RuneScape. It naturally involves (surprise!) catching fish. But do you know how to effectively farm RuneScape Gold with it? Fishing levels allow for the utilization of different mechanisms of Fishing as well as the ability to catch a larger selection of fish, making it one of the more complicated skills to learn and to try making money off of. Furthermore, fishing is also a great way to replenish your health since caught fish may be cooked through the Cooking skill to create food which can be used to regain health lost during strenuous combat sessions.

Let’s take a look at how to make the most out of fishing with our RuneScape Fishing Guide.

Buy Outfits

Wearing components of the fishing outfit gives a boost in the amount of base experience gained while fishing. There are four pieces in the set: the hat, jacket, waders, and boots. These items can be purchased for 140 reward tokens each from the Fish Flingers mini-game. Altogether, the set’s pieces will cost you about 560 tokens. Be sure to wear all of the pieces to gain an additional set bonus effect!

Shark outfits are exceptional for fishing. Parts of shark outfits can be created from shark fragments which you can receive when fishing with at least level 70Fishing. You can then assemble the parts into an outfit when you reach level 80 at Fishing and level 20 at Invention. There are three shark outfits: the shark outfit, burnt shark outfit, and the tiger shark outfit. They all consist of a head slot, body slot, leg slot, hand slot, and feet slot. When wearing a complete version of any of these three outfits, you get to gain additional perks. One of which increases your chance of catching fish up to 5%. Plus, Living Rock creatures in the Living Rock Cavern will no longer behave aggressively towards you. Also, if you own a complete set of any of the three shark outfits, you will receive a 5% increase base experience effect while wearing it.

Summon Familiar

There are three Summoning familiars available which invisibly boost a player’s Fishing level when summoned are the granite crab, ibis, and granite lobster. This does not let you access higher-level content, but it will allow you to fish at a slightly faster rate. The granite lobster gives an additional benefit when foraging for raw sharks and swordfish while you’re fishing, and you will also be awarded 10% of the Fishing experience you would have received if you caught the fish yourself without summoning your familiar’s for help.

Use Perfect Juju Fishing Potions

When using a perfect juju fishing potion, it will increase your chance of catching a fish by 5%. Each dose of this potion lasts for about an hour. The potion can be bought from the Grand Exchange, but you can also opt to create these potions to alleviate costs. To create the perfect juju fishing potion, simply combine 10 harmony dustswith3 juju fishing potions. Take note that you can only create these if you are level 92 at Herblore.

Gather and Sell

If you have tons of fish lying around and don’t really know what to do with them, why not make a quick buck and sell some? After all, players need food to heal, thus making food (in this case, fish) a market with massive demand. We advise you to not sell your fish to general stores or stores, but instead to sell them to other players directly. The Grand Exchange and our items section here in our RuneScape page are the best places to sell fish for RuneScape Gold.

By the Sea: How To Earn Pisacrilius House Favors

In the kingdom of Great Kourend, it’s vital that you not only earn OSRS gold, but also the favor of each house. It already goes without saying that this includes the prominent Piscarillus house. So, you want or need to max your Favours with this house by and of the sea? Then read up, put on your thinking cap, and become, for a lack of a better term, so highly-favored.

What About Piscarilius

Before you go swimming around doing all sorts of stuff for Piscarilius, here are some things you should know. First and foremost, Piscarilius, obviously, is a house mainly composed of fishermen. Other than fishing, they also dabble in the overseas trade.

The Piscarilius House is the house that owns the port where everyone going to Zeah enters. Newcomers, however, shouldn’t expect a friendly welcome, as the Piscarilius house is deeply mired in crime and corruption, so thieves and smuggles run around–and actually run–the place.

Cranes and Fishing

Still, it’s not all bad. After all, you’ll be getting a few perks from Piscarilius if you gain their favor. The good news is that there are countless ways to do that.

The simplest one to accomplish would be by repairing fishing cranes, which rewards with 0.5% Favour each. These are found across Piscarilius House, and they break down on a regular basis. To repair them, you need level 30 Crafting. And by repairing them, the amount of crafting XP that you’ll receive is three times your level. For example, if your crafting level is 30, you’ll receive 90 XP for every crane repaired.

To repair a crane, you need a hammer, nails (preferably mithril), and three planks. In case you need nails, you can always buy iron nails from Leenz.

Another good way to rack up Favour is by helping Frankie collect fresh fish, and subsequently putting them into a cooler. But before you can do so, you will need to have at least 15% Favour, as well as level 15 Fishing. For this particular task, you have to be fast, as the fresh fish disappears into nothing after around a minute. Each fish is worth 0.2% Favour.

Here’s a handy tip: collect fresh fish from the nearby barrel. You can collect around 20 in one go, and even up to 25 if you’re good at it.

Sandworms and Booty

Upon reaching 30% Favour, you can start hunting for Sandworms. For this, you’ll need level 15 in Hunter, a spade, and five buckets, as you’ll be putting the sandworms you catch in them. To start, go to the area north of Tynan’s Fishing Supplies. Each bucket of sandworm collected will earn you 0.2 Favour.

To dig the worms up faster, click “Walk Here” on the square where the sandworms appear, then swiftly click on the spade in your inventory.

Finally, when you get 75% Favour and level 49 in Thieving, you can now go ahead and steal booty from other people’s houses, just like the usual people who run around Piscarilius. To get an assignment, talk to Captain Khaled, who’s in a huge building south-east of the bank. Before going out to steal, make sure you have a lockpick in order to open the drawers.

What you’ll be doing may be a crime, but it certainly pays—a lot! If you succeed in a heist, you’ll not only be getting 2% Favour, but also a few hundred Old School RuneScape gold, 750 Thieving XP for picking the lock and looting the booty, and another Thieving XP that is worth forty times your Thieving level after giving the booty to Captain Khaled. If that isn’t an impressive heist, then I don’t know what is!

Now that you know how to raise your Favour with Piscarilius to a hundred, you can now start putting this knowledge into practice. So what are you waiting for? Go earn those Favours–you deserve it.
