Fishing/Guide

So, you want to get level 99 Fishing for that sick cape, or just to feed your MineScape family? Then you've come to the right place.

First of all, you'll want to go to Port Sarim and buy all the tools that the fishing shop sells, a net (if you somehow lost the one from tutorial island), bait- & fly fishing rods and the harpoon. You should probably purchase a couple of each of these Fishing items. You'll be thankful you did the first time (or couple of times, cough, cough) you accidentally press your "Drop Item" hotkey and watch as your favorite Fishing equipment floats off into the vast sea. Alternatively, you may use the /lock command to prevent yourself from tossing your precious gear away.

**Keep in mind all the numbers are for the default XP rates, it will be more if there are double XP boosts enabled while you're training!**

**Time estimates are rough estimates. They take into account the time needed to run to the nearest bank and banking your fish after you caught them and returning. Time estimates can be lower if you drop the fish while you're fishing them. They also take into account failed attempts at catching fish.**

**Fastest time from 1 Fishing to 99 Fishing with banking is just over 113 hours.**

**Fishing doesn't require bait whatsoever, you just need the tool itself. #SaveTheChickens**

Unlike the Fishing skill in Runescape, your success-rate at catching fish does NOT increase with your Fishing level. This means that you should Fish the highest tier possible once you reach the required Fishing level.

Anchovies Pizza's can be consumed to get 40 catches without failing, which obviously gives a boost to the xp/h.

The level 99 Fishing Skillcape will give you the perk to finally have those pesky buggers escape your grasp, no more fails if you wear it!
