== Introduction ==


This page goes through the general method and tips of training the [[Fishing]] skill. Fishing is a common skill that players choose to level early, as it is an efficient [[Money Making|money maker]], allowing players to quickly expand their bank slots and begin to explore more game features. <br>
== Training ==
Generally, you should train on the highest level fish you have unlocked, or follow the list below:


Additionally, Fishing, by random chance, can result in the drop of beneficial rings. Specifically, the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Ring of Skills}} and {{ItemIcon|Ancient Ring of Mastery}}.
{| class="wikitable"
When worn, these rings boost the skill experience for non-combat skills and all skill masteries by 7% respectfully. Their drop rate is provided in the [[Fishing#Special|Fishing Special]] section.

There is no requirement to start [[Fishing]]. One should always use the best [[Shop#Fishing_Rods|Fishing Rod]] available for purchase in the [[Shop]].  
Selling the fish should result in enough gold to upgrade to the best available [[Shop#Fishing_Rods|Fishing Rod]] in the [[Shop]]. It is to be noted that only fishing rods up to {{UpgradeIcon|Dragon Fishing Rod}} actually help with speeding up the experience gain. {{Skill|Cooking}} your fish will increase their value when sold, and will get you Cooking experience at the same time!
== Boosters ==


The {{ItemIcon|Firemaking Skillcape}} provides an additional 5% experience to all skills.<br>
The {{ItemIcon|Pirates Lost Ring}} provides 15% bonus fishing experience when equipped (This can be found while fishing).<br>
The {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fishing}} provides 20% decreased [[Fishing]] interval (This can be found from opening {{ItemIcon|Treasure Chest|Treasure Chests}}).<br>
The {{ItemIcon|Fishing Skillcape}} doubles the amount of fish caught. <br>
The {{ItemIcon|Fishermans Potion I|Fishermans Potion}} reduces the chance to catch junk, therefore increasing catch rate. The chance increases based on the level of {{ItemIcon|Fishermans Potion I|Fishermans Potion}}. A level of 40 [[Herblore]] is required to synthesize.
== Training ==
In general, it is recommended to always fish the highest level fish that your level currently allows. Selling the fish should result in enough gold to upgrade to the best available [[Shop#Fishing_Rods|Fishing Rod]] in the [[Shop]].<br>
=== Junk ===
=== Junk ===


Changing fishing targets too often has one downside, and that is Junk. Junk provides 1 xp when received, greatly reducing both xp/hr and gp/hr received while fishing. Players will receive Junk at a fairly high rate (20-30%) while fishing until their total mastery progression is at 65% (5,575,000 Mastery Experience) or when the mastery level for an individual fish reaches 65.  It is recommended that a player either uses {{ItemIcon|Fishermans Potion I|Fishermans Potion}} or only changes their fishing target every five to ten levels to reduce the likelihood of receiving Junk.<br>
Changing fishing targets too often has one downside - Junk. It provides 1 XP when received, greatly reducing your overall XP and GP rates.  
For fish a player may want to fish for long periods of time, like {{ItemIcon|Shark|Sharks}}, {{ItemIcon|Manta Ray|Manta Rays}} or {{ItemIcon|Whale|Whales}}, it is valuable for the player to spend experience from their mastery pool to level the fish to 65, in order to remove the chance of receiving Junk.
 
<br>
Players will receive Junk at a fairly high rate (10-29%, depending on location) while fishing until their total {{Icon|Mastery}} progression is at 25% or when the {{Icon|Mastery}} level for an individual fish reaches 65.
 
Therefore, it is reasonable to spend your [[Mastery#The_Mastery_Pool|Mastery Pool]] on getting {{ItemIcon|Fanfish}}, {{ItemIcon|Raw Cave Fish}}, {{ItemIcon|Manta Ray|Manta Rays}}, and {{ItemIcon|Whale|Whales}} to level 65 in order to remove the chance of Junk, which will boost your speed of progress.
 
=== Additional Information ===
 
The single most efficient item to obtain for training fishing is the {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fishing}}, then [[Shop#Fishing_Rods|Fishing Rod]] upgrades in the Shop, then {{ItemIcon|Pirates Lost Ring}}. The {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fishing}} is obtained by opening {{ItemIcon|Treasure Chest|Treasure Chests}}.
 
There is a small chance to acquire the {{ItemIcon|Message in a Bottle}}. It will unlock the [[Fishing#Area|Secret Area]] that gives no Junk and has a higher chance of special items. This area has {{ItemIcon|Raw Seahorse}}, {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}}, and {{ItemIcon|Raw Magic Fish}}.
 
Fishing for {{ItemIcon|Raw Seahorse}} is used to get special items at the fastest possible rate, and are surprisingly efficient Cooking materials. {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}} is a decent way to get {{Skill|Prayer}} points. {{ItemIcon|Raw Magic Fish}} is a decent way to make GP and food **without** {{Skill|Cooking}}. Getting to level 99 before fishing any of these fish - especially {{ItemIcon|Raw Magic Fish}} - is strongly recommended as they all have poor xp rates, and the {{ItemIcon|Fishing Skillcape}} doubles all fish you catch.
 
Another hidden area is unlocked with the {{ItemIcon|Barbarian Gloves}}, this area has {{ItemIcon|Leaping Trout}}, {{ItemIcon|Leaping Salmon}}, and {{ItemIcon|Leaping Broad Fish}}. While these have no direct benefits to Fishing, they provide {{Skill|Strength}} xp. Generally only {{ItemIcon|Leaping Broad Fish}} are worth the effort, although this is a minor benefit at best, and is no longer efficient beyond roughly {{SkillReq|Strength|40}}.


The single most efficient item to obtain for training fishing is the {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fishing}}. Action time reduction vastly outweighs experience bonuses when training for long periods of time.
==Boosters==
=== Supplemental Information ===
===XP===
{{ModifierTable|increasedGlobalSkillXP,increasedNonCombatSkillXP,increasedSkillXP|XP Boost|false|skill=Fishing}}


As provided in the [[Fishing#Special|Fishing Special]] table, there is a 0.15% chance when receiving a special item to receive the [[Message in a Bottle]]. This will unlock the [[Fishing#Area|Secret Area]].
===Action Time===
In this area, there are three fish: The {{ItemIcon|Raw Seahorse}}, at 15 fishing, {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}} at 45 fishing, and {{ItemIcon|Raw Magic Fish}} at 80 fishing.<br>
{{ModifierTable|decreasedSkillIntervalPercent,decreasedSkillInterval,decreasedGlobalSkillIntervalPercent|Action Interval|false|skill=Fishing}}
But most importantly, each fish has a higher (+5%) of receiving special items while fishing.
It is recommended that the player fish {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}} in this area. {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}} are one of the best source of prayer points in the game. Spending time fishing for {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}} is the most likely method of obtaining rare special items, like the rings or amulet mentioned above.
<br>
It is valuable for the player to spend experience from their mastery pool to level the fish to 50, in order to further increase the likelihood of catching special items.
