Training
Generally speaking, you should fish the highest level fish available to you. However, since Fishing provides many additional benefits in other skills, it may be worth lingering on certain other fish for some time, saving time down the road.
The most notable considerations are the two items Amulet of Fishing and
Pirates Lost Ring. The
Amulet provides -15% Fishing Interval, and the
Ring provides a massive 15% additional
Fishing XP. There is also the
Message in a Bottle, which unlocks the Secret Area with many important fish. These can only drop when receiving a "Special" item, so maximizing this chance is very important.
First we want to minimize how much Junk we receive. 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 Pool is at 25%, or when the
Mastery level for an individual fish reaches 65. It will take a longer time initially to reach 25% Mastery Pool, so we will focus on a few fish to boost to Mastery Level 65. You also receive a +3% chance to catch Special items when reaching level 50 for an individual fish.
We're going to swap targets very frequently at the start, since we won't be getting any fish to 65 for a while. Fish Raw Shrimp from 1-5,
Raw Sardine from 5-10,
Raw Herring from 10-20 (switch to
Raw Seahorse if you got the
Message in a Bottle, although this is extremely unlikely by level 15), and
Raw Trout from 20-30.
This is a good point to consider using the Ent and
Octopus
Summoning synergy, if you have it. It will give you +3% chance for Special catches, which will let you get important
Fishing drops sooner. At level 30, you should fish
Raw Poison Fish for a while, which are used in
Performance Enhancing Potions and
Lethal Toxins Potions. However, depending on where you are at in the game, you may be holding onto these fish for a while. If you prefer, continue swapping to higher level fish until 50.
If you've managed to get the Message in a Bottle by now, you can switch to
Raw Skeleton Fish at level 45 and just fish those all the way to level 80 or 95. This will give you a huge abundance of
Prayer points, and is one of the best ways to get
Prayer points. Level up
Raw Skeleton Fish to
Level 65, to eliminate Junk catches.
If you still haven't gotten Message in a Bottle, stop on
Raw Swordfish for a while at level 50, leveling it to
Level 65. The
cooked version (
Swordfish) is used in
Generous Cook Potions, which you will need a lot of eventually. You can switch again to
Raw Crab at 60, for
Fishermans Potions.
This is also where you should consider switching to the Octopus and
Pig
Summoning synergy instead, if you aren't farming
Raw Skeleton Fish. This will give you a 75% chance to fish up a cooked version of any fish (that can be cooked), which you can either use as food or sell for more GP. If you are early in the game, this is a good source of early GP. However, it may be difficult to unlock the synergy early, so don't worry if you don't have it.
Once you're at 60, fish any of the above fish all the way to 99. If you're going to focus on any, make sure to level them to Mastery level 65, so you don't catch any Junk.
Raw Crab are great as cooked food and as a potion ingredient, so it's not a bad idea to fish them for a while. If at any point you get the
Message in a Bottle, you can switch immediately to
Raw Skeleton Fish and ride them all the way to 95 or 99.
Finally, fish Raw Whale from 95-99, as they are a great source of
cooked food.
Quick Reference
These tables serve as an at a glance reference for some different paths to 99. None of them are strictly needed; feel free to swap fish whenever you want or need.
