The fishing skill is quite important, not only is it for getting fish which can be cooked and used as food, 53 fishing is required to complete the quests for getting the Barrows gloves, 62 fishing for the Quest cape, and a few other uses. There are several methods of training fishing in P2P which can be grouped into different categories: Fastest(click-intensive), AFK, or profitable methods. The best methods for each category are thoroughly explained in this guide.
Undoubtedly, the fastest way to get started with fishing in P2P is by doing these quests:
Assuming you meet the necessary prerequisites for these quests and possess some familiarity with questing, you can expect to reach level 33 fishing in just 1 hour and 25 minutes. This method undoubtedly stands as the swiftest route to attain level 33 fishing from level 1.
At level 20 fishing, the ability of fly fishing is unlocked. Fly fishing with tick manipulation offers the fastest experience till 58 fishing. However, without tick manipulation, drift net fishing provides better experience rates till level 47 fishing.
To fly fish using tick manipulation, you'll need a fly fishing rod, feathers, herb, tar, or knife, and teak/mahogany logs. This method has a learning curve because it takes time to improve your clicking and timing so that you can do this activity consistently. to learn more, check our fly fishing guide.
Here is the expected XP per hour when fly fishing at different fishing levels with tick manipulation
Therefore, you can expect to get from 20 to 58 fishing with this method in roughly 6 hours.
Barbarian fishing requires 30 agility, 30 strength, and 48 fishing. 3-tick Barbarian fishing is the fastest method of training fishing at 58 fishing and also gives agility and strength experience. To learn more, check our Barbarian fishing guide.
To do the 3-tick manipulation correctly, you will need a Barbarian rod, which can be purchased at Otto's grotto, as well as feathers as bait, herb, knife, and mahogany logs.
Here is the expected XP per hour when Barbarian fishing at different fishing levels with tick manipulation.
From these experience rates, it would take the player roughly 8 hours to go from 58 to 71 fishing
At level 71, two-tick harpooning swordfish and tuna in Piscarilliius with a crystal harpoon provides better fishing experience rates than Barbarian fishing and also gives you a better chance of obtaining the heron pet; nevertheless, if you have low agility and strength levels, it is recommended that you continue with Barbarian fishing until you reach level 99 to obtain those extra agility and strength levels.
Two-tick Harpooning Swordfish may appear complicated at first, but it becomes pretty straightforward when you learn it. I'll break it down for you: First, make sure you're being attacked by two rats, and they are attacking two ticks apart, then click the fishing spot every time a rat strikes you, and a hit splat shows on your character.
Using this method, you can go from level 71 to 99 in about 111 hours.
The path discussed above is the fastest way to get 99 fishing in P2P. In total, it would take you roughly 126 hours from 1-99 fishing if you follow these methods efficiently.
Minnows can be caught at Kylie Minnow's fishing platform, which requires level 82 fishing, completion of a fishing contest, and a full angler's outfit to access. It is quite AFK compared to other methods because it does not involve tick manipulation, and provides decent rewards.
Minnow fishing spots vary every 15 seconds, so you would need to click a new spot each time, resulting in 240 clicks every hour. The experience rate is slower than the other methods mentioned at this level, you should expect between 40,000 and 56,000 XP per hour between levels 82 and 99 fishing.
Catching Minnows is quite profitable, players can make approximately 165,625 GP per hour at level 99 and 32M+ GP if they decide to catch minnows from levels 82 to 99, based on grand exchange prices. Wearing Rada's blessing increases total GP from minnows by 10%.
Fighting the Tempoross requires other skills rather than combat, just like Wintertodt. It requires 35 fishing and the following items: rope, bucket, hammer, harpoon, and small fishing net to claim rewards. You can join other players to fight this boss or go solo by travelling to the ruins of Unkah. to learn more, check our temporoos guide
The Tempoross also known as the Spirit of the Seas is considered a boss and not a minigame, therefore death during the fight will cause a loss of items and Hardcore Ironman status. Fighting Tempoross requires a relatively low effort compared to the tick manipulation methods discussed above, but you should expect lower experience rates. The experience rates vary depending on the type of harpoon you use, your fishing level, and whether you cook or not. You can get experience in other skills like cooking, construction, and strength while fighting this boss.
To get higher permits and rewards, players should cook the harpoon fish before firing it. This can be quite helpful for ironmen or those looking to increase their chances of getting the tempoross pet, however, doing so reduces the experience rates.
For a regular harpoon;
It would take about 205 hours to get to 99 fishing using the regular harpoon and without cooking, it takes roughly 250 hours with cooking.
For the Dragon harpoon;
The dragon harpoon is not unlocked till 70 fishing
It would take about 175 hours to get to 99 fishing using the Dragon harpoon without cooking. It takes roughly 220 hours with cooking
For the Crystal harpoon;
The crystal harpoon is not unlocked till 70 fishing
It would take about 156 hours to get to 99 fishing using the Crystal harpoon without cooking, it takes roughly 195 hours with cooking.
Fighting the Tempoross boss without cooking provides lower rewards; around 40M GP from level 35 to 99. However, if you cook, this number can go up to 75M GP. Here are some of the items you can expect to get from the Tempoross reward pools: raw Sharks, Manta rays, Salmons, Feathers, Planks, Seaweed, Tome of water(empty), dragon Harpoon Raw Sea turtles, raw Swordfish and caskets
Catching Karambwans is quite AFK and can be done on the tropical island of Karamja, which requires the completion of the Tai Bwo Wannai quest to access. The Karambwan fishing spot is located north of the shipyard, close to the Fairy Ring CKR.
To catch a Karambwan, you need a Karambwan vessel and a Karambwanji. Players need to fish Karabwanjis for roughly 6 and a half minutes to be able to catch Karabwans for an hour, however, this time reduces as your fishing level increases. Players can fish till their inventory is full of Karambwans without clicking, allowing them to be AFK for up to two minutes, or better yet, they can get a barrel from doing Tempoross to capture additional fish, allowing them to be AFK for up to four minutes. Banking can be easily done by teleporting to Zanaris via the nearby fairy ring.
The experience per hour when catching Karambwans is relatively low at 30,000 XP. It would take approximately 420 hours to reach 99 fishing from level 65, and you will collect up to 80M worth of Karambwans.
Catching raw monkfish requires 62 fishing and completion of the Swan Song quest. It can be done at the Piscatoris Fishing Colony with only a small fishing net in your inventory. This method is relatively slow, but it requires little attention, allowing players to be AFK for up to 1 minute.
You should expect between 33,000 XP to 42,000 XP per hour when catching Monkfish between levels 62 to 99 fishing, and it would take around 360 hours to get to 99 fishing from level 62. It is recommended to wear the full angler’s outfit to get better experience rates and Rada blessing for more Monkfish. Additionally, you will get 40,000 GP per hour and up to 14M GP worth of Monkfish from catching Monkfish between levels 62 to 99 fishing.
