Fishing lets you catch fish, which can be cooked to be used as food for combat or thieving. While fishing there is a 70% chance to catch a random fish in the selected area every 5 seconds. This chance can be increased to 100% by equipping the Amulet of Fishing. Raising fishing to level 99 will unlock the Fishing Skillcape for purchase from the Shop. The Fishing Skillcape halves the catch time. Using Fisherman's potions ensures you will catch the highest level fish in the area.
Fishing Areas
New fishing areas are unlocked as your fishing level increases. Areas differ only in the maximum amount of types of fish that can be found in them. Fishing areas display which fish can be caught in them currently. After a random interval of time has passed, a new randomly generated selection of fish will be displayed in each fishing area. Catching fish will not deplete the available fish in a fishing area, with the exception of the Treasure Chest which once caught is removed from the area.
Mastery Unlocks
Fishing Mastery level currently has no effect on fishing, although this will likely change in a future update.
Fishing Rods
Higher levels of fishing allow you to purchase better fishing rods from the Shop. The bonus speed is actually a percent reduction in the time that it takes to catch a fish.
Fish
As your fishing level increases, you are able to catch new fish that give more experience.
