[OSRS] ULTIMATE 1-99 Fishing Guide (FASTEST F2P/P2P Methods)

What's the matter guys? My name is Theoatrix, and today I'm bringing to you guys a full Level 1 - 99 Fishing Guide for both Free to Play players and Pay to Play players in Old School Runescape. Fishing can be a great way of making money at high levels, especially when you have Dark Crabs, Sharks, and other fish. The new Shift Drop update has made Fishing 1000 times more enjoyable in my opinion, since it is far more AFK and it requires way less clicking. Let's move on.

Free to Play, Pay to Play

Now, from levels 1 - 40, the Free to Play methods and the Pay to Play methods are the same. Level 1-20: Shrimp/Anchovy

So, at level 1 - 20, Shrimps or Anchovies are what I would recommend. You can fish these at Catherby, Draynor, or Lumbridge, and it won't take you long at all to get from level 1 - 20. Pay-to-Play players can complete the Sea Slug Quest. This is a prerequisite for Proselyte which is a mandatory requirement for main accounts. In just 20 minutes, you can go from level 1 to level 24 fishing.

Level 20-40: Trout/Salmon

For both Pay to and Free to Play players, I recommend Salmon or Trout from levels 20-40. You will be getting about 30 000 XP per hour doing this, and it requires a Fly Fishing Rod, and Feathers. If you are paying to play, you can fish these at Lumbridge or Barbarian Village. Seers Village is where you should fish if it is pay to play. Trout and Salmon actually have the fastest XP rates in the Free to Play section of the game. However, it is very, very bad money. If you want fast XP, fishing Trout and Salmon should be your first choice. However, this is not the fastest method if your goal is to earn Pay to Play points.

Level 40+ Lobsters

At level 40 players can fish for lobsters in both pay to play and free to play. If you are a member, they can be found at Catherby or Karamja if your Free to Play account is active. There is a deposit box at Port Sarim where Free-to-Play players should deposit their fish. Note that it does give you a slower XP per hour rate - about 20 000 XP per hour at lower levels, and then moving up to 25 000 XP per hour at higher levels. This method will allow you to earn 65 000 coins per hour. This is a great money-making option for Free to Play players.

Swordfish Level 50+

But, that really is not a lot compared to Swordfish, which you unlock at level 50. It is the best money in Fishing for Free to Play players and can get you up to 30 000XP an hour at higher level. It is recommended to drop the Tuna if you are in Free to Play, since banking takes so long, and you only really want to focus on the Swordfish as the main source of money. They are fished at the same spot on Karamja at Musa Point, and the Port Sarim Deposit Box is the best for Free to Play players. Pay to Play players can fish these at Catherby, and then run straight to the bank to get GP rates and XP faster. This is the best way to make money with Free to Play players. Rswiki.Net You will get 70 000 - 100 000 coin per hour.

Pay-to-Play Methods

Level 48 – 99: Barbarian Fishing

Now let's move to the Pay to Play portion. Level 48 unlocks Barbarian Fly Fishing. You will need Otto’s Barbarian Trainee to be able to do so. With Barbarian Training, you need to get up to the part where he tells you to go into the Ancient Cavern, and then you will be able to fish the Barbarian Fishing method. Barbarian Fishing requires level 15 Strength and Agility. It also gives you over 50 000 XP an hour. These fish are not profitable as there are no banks nearby. It is also pointless to bank them since you can't do anything with them. This method is so much faster with Shift-click. I highly recommend it for anyone who is fishing 99 and not for profit.

Profitable Methods

Level 62 - 99: Monkfish

Moving on to the Profitable methods, once you have completed the Swan's Song Quest and reached level 62 Fishing, you can begin fishing Monkfish for 40 000 XP an hour. These are super AFK. It makes it a really, really great method if your real life is full of homework or other activities. You can earn about 100 000 GP per an hour by getting from level 62 to 99. If you want to make even more money with this method, you can cook the Monkfish for an extra 80 000 coins per hour approximately.

The Fishing Guild (Level 70 Fishing)

Now, once you hit level 70, you unlock the Fishing Guild, which is where I recommend fishing if you are not doing Barbarian Fishing, since it is really, really close to a bank.

Level 76 – 99: Sharks

Level 76-99 allows you to fish Sharks for very slow XP per hour. But, you will make a ton of profit to level 99. You will earn between 90 000 000 and 100 000 000 XP an hour. This is if you go from level 76 to level 99. The 100 000 000 Profit is earned when you cook the Sharks. You will make 90 000 000 if you sell the Sharks raw. I recommend you alternate between Barbarian fishing for fast XP, then going to Sharks if your goal is to make some GP.

Level 82+: Anglerfish

At level 82 Fishing, you unlock Anglerfish, which requires 100% Piscarillius Favour on the new Zeah part of the Runescape Map. These are even more lucrative than Sharks and will give you 200 000 GP an hour but only 20 000 XP an hour, which is the exact same as Sharks. But, the 100% Piscarillius Favour is really, really tedious to get.

Level 85+ Dark Crabs

At level 85 Fishing you can unlock the best GP and a lot more XP per an hour than Anglerfish and Sharks. These are located in the Wilderness. This is really risky, since it is usually a PK hot-spot. You could make around 300 000 coins an hour, and between 30 000 and 40 000 XP each hour. This is incredible considering the profit potential. Players can note their fish at the guy just outside of the Wilderness Resource Area. However, this increases your risk because if you get hurt, you will lose all your fish and not be able to take them to a bank. The Mage Bank is the nearest bank. It takes you just a few minutes and you can make a profit. The Wilderness Elite Diaries give you free access to the Resource Dungeon. The others, such as the Hard and Medium Diaries, just take a little bit off the cost to enter the Resource Dungeon. It is only 900 coins and one Dark Crab costs around 1400. It doesn't really make a difference how much you pay to be admitted. You are going to be making a ton of money no matter what.
