== 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 because it's an efficient [[Money Making|money maker]], allowing players to quickly expand their bank slots and begin to explore more game features.
Fishing also can drop rings that are very beneficial in the long run: the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Ring of Skills}} and {{ItemIcon|Ancient Ring of Mastery}}. Their drop rate is provided in the [[Fishing#Special|Fishing Special]] section.
== Equipment ==
There is no requirement to start [[Fishing]]. One should always use the best [[Shop#Fishing_Rods|Fishing Rod]] available for purchase in the [[Shop]].
== Boosters ==
The {{ItemIcon|Firemaking Skillcape}} provides an additional 5% experience to all skills.<br>
The {{PetIcon|Pyro}} provides an additional 1% 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 15% 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|Book of Scholars}} provides a +3% boost to XP gained in any skill when worn. <br>
The {{ItemIcon|Fishermans Potion I|Fishermans Potion}} provides a chance to double the amount of catched fish. The chance increases with the grade (mastery) of the potion. <br>
The {{PetIcon|Pudding Duckie}} pet provides an additional 5% chance to double items in fishing.

Selling the fish should result in enough gold to upgrade to the best available [[Shop#Fishing_Rods|Fishing Rod]] 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!

Changing fishing targets too often has one downside - Junk. It provides 1 XP when received, greatly reducing your overall XP and GP rates.  
Changing fishing targets too often has one downside - Junk. It provides 1 XP when received, greatly reducing your overall XP and GP rates.  


Players will receive Junk at a fairly high rate (10-29%, depending on location) while fishing until their total mastery progression is at 25% or when the 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}}. Action time reduction vastly outweighs experience bonuses when training for long periods of time.
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}}.


=== Additional Information ===
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}}.


There is a small chance to fish out the [[Message in a Bottle]]. It will unlock the [[Fishing#Area|Secret Area]] that gives no Junk and has a higher chance of special items.
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.


It has {{ItemIcon|Raw Seahorse}}, {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}}, and {{ItemIcon|Raw Magic Fish}}.
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}}.


Fishing for {{ItemIcon|Raw Seahorse}} is used to get special items and a pet faster. {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}} is a decent way to get prayer points. {{ItemIcon|Raw Magic Fish}} is used to farm GP.

===XP===

If you fish for special items, you might want to level the fish to 50 with your Mastery Pool for the increased chance of special items.
