[Fishing] How to get most benefit from fishing?

  1. thunderball <Angler>, 3 years ago:

    Hi,

    Drood with 151 fishing skill....
    When i fish in places where i need 130 i need 5 catch to gain a skilllvl and the same when i fish in areas with 205 (both places with +75 bulp added to pole). but in 205 poles the fish slips more away cause i dont meet the 300 fishingskill. Should i keep fishing in 130 areas until reaching 225 or is there an easier way?
    hoping any skilled fishermen can help out here....
    thanks in advance

    Your chance to gain in fishing is determined based on the number of catches you make (in relation to your current fishing skill), and has nothing to do with the fishing level of the area in which you are fishing.

    If you sit in one of your major cities and fish, you can gain fishing skill just as quickly as if you followed a fishing guide. I wouldn't recommend this, however, because it is horribly boring (unless you are trying for the Old Ironjaw or Old Crafty achievements).

    I believe El has a fishing guide posted to the site here, but the general rule of thumb is fish where you don't have getaways, and can yield the best-selling or highest-price fish (if you're fishing for profit), and try to avoid locations that will require a lure (at least until you hit outlands, then you'll need a lure most of the time ot avoid getaways).

    Hope that helps.
