Fishing: Difference between revisions

Fishing is used to catch fish, special items and junk which are deposited in the [[Bank|bank]]. If the [[Bank]] becomes full while fishing, fishing will continue but any extra items will be lost.

Fish can be [[Cooking|cooked]] for use as [[food]] during [[combat]] or [[thieving]].  

At certain levels, upgrades to the fishing pole used are available in the Skill Upgrades section of the Shop. Upgraded fishing poles reduce the time required to catch fish. Raising fishing to level 99 will unlock the [[Fishing Skillcape]] for purchase from the [[Shop]]. The [[Fishing Skillcape]] doubles the amount of items caught.  

As the player's fishing level increases, new fish that give more experience will become available to catch. [[Leaping Trout]], [[Leaping Salmon]], and [[Leaping Broad Fish]], will train [[Strength]] when caught, giving 10, 15, and 25 experience respectively. [[Raw Skeleton Fish]] can be buried for 3 [[Prayer]] points each. [[Raw Magic Fish]] can be eaten to restore health without cooking. [[Leaping Trout]], [[Leaping Salmon]], [[Leaping Broad Fish]], [[Raw Skeleton Fish]], [[Raw Magic Fish]], [[Raw Blowfish]], and [[Raw Poison Fish]] cannot be cooked.

Higher levels of fishing allow the player to purchase higher tiers of fishing rods from the [[Shop#Fishing_Rods|Shop]]. The "bonus speed" from fishing rods is actually a percent reduction in the time that it takes to catch a fish.

Special items can be randomly acquired instead of fish while fishing. They reward the same amount of XP as the fish that was being caught. Treasure is chosen from the following loot table:
