Fishing is one of the most profitable skills on the Runescape
Fishing is one of the most profitable skills on the Runescape. Although you must train until you have a high level in order to receive very high profits, you can still earn money the entire time you train the skill. With a small amount of fishing gear, you can earn a lot of runescape gold and easy experience, right away. Here is a basic Runescape Fishing guide you can use to begin mastering the skill of fishing.
Runescape Fishing consists of buying fishing gear and bait, if the object you are using to catch fish requires bait, then going out to fishing spots to catch fish. There are many types of fish and each fish has a Fishing level requirement to catch it. Every fish has a fishing tool required to catch the fish; however, most of them use the same tools as other fish, so there really are only a few fishing tools. You can check this all out by clicking on the Fishing skill in the Runescape game.
Now that you know all the fish in Runescape, where to find the fish, what levels required to catch the fish, and what to use to catch the fish, you are now able to go out and train the skill of Runescape fishing. However, there are some important items, places, and an achievement you should know about when you are trying to master the skill of Fishing in Runescape.
Two Important Runescape Fishing Items
Two important items you will want to know about to train Fishing are the Swordfish gloves and Shark gloves. These two pairs of gloves are used to gain extra experience when using them to catch the corresponding fish. For every Swordfish or Shark caught, you will receive an extra 100 XP. However, both of the gloves crumble after 1000 of the corresponding fish are caught. These are obtained from Reggie at the Fist of Guthix mini-game for 200 Fist of Guthix tokens.
Fishing Shops
Some important places you should know about are the Fishing Shops and the Fishing Guild. There is a Fishing Shop located in Catherby, Lumbridge, Port Sarim, and Shilo Village, which is accessible after you complete the Shilo Village quest. Fishing shops sell fishing equipment and various types of fish, which are usually uncooked. The Rellekka Fishmonger and Fish Stalls located in Relleka, Miscellania, and Etceteria are only accessible after completing the Fremenick Trails quest.
The Fishing Guild
Another important place to catch fish and to access many fishing related features of Runescape, you can unlock the Fishing Guild. You need 68 fishing to enter the Fishing Guild, 65 if you use a Fishing Potion, and 63 if you eat an Admiral Pie. Here you are able to catch many fish and bank them at the bank right inside the Fishing Guild. It is a very effective place to train the Runescape skill of Fishing. It is located west of Camelot and Seers.
99 Fishing Cape
One of the most prized possessions and the reason many people get to 99 Fishing is for the Fishing cape. Once you reach level 99 Fishing, you can receive a 99 Fishing Cape from the Master Fisher for 99k. He is located right outside the entrance to the Fishing Guild.
Now its time learn one of the best ways to make Runescape Gold!
Pking on RuneScape is a great way of getting runescape gold
Pking on RuneScape is a great way of earning runescape gold but it can be difficult to start out with and you can actually lose gold. Pking stands for Playing Killing, and it only occurs in the wilderness where you can kill other players and take their items as loot. When you attack another played you become Skulled which means that if you get killed you lose all your items. A skull appears over your head and lasts for around 20 minutes and if you're killed in that time you lose your equipment and inventory items. However if you have 21 prayer you can use the Protect One Item prayer which allows you to keep your most valuable items.
There are lots of different types of Pking but most of the fighting usually occurs at Edgeville. This is because Edgeville is very close to the wilderness and it also has a bank so you can fight people, loot their items and quickly run back to the bank in Edgeville to safely store the items. Fighting does happen in other parts of the Wilderness but it's quite scarce because the Wilderness is a massive place and most people don't spend much time there at all. Fighting occurs predominantly in the West side at level 21 where the West Wilderness Dragon are. There's also fighting at the East Dragons spot at level 12 just north of the Dark mages on the far East side of the wilderness. Finally there's fighting at the Magic Bank which is very far into the wilderness at level 50.
You should be careful of going deep into the wilderness because the levels get progressively higher starting from level one all the way to level 55. Every level you go deeper means more people can fight your specific combat level. If you were combat level 60 and you went to level 10 then combat levels ranging from 50-70 could attack you. This means if you were to go all the way to the Magic Bank there would be a lot of higher levels that could attack you - it also means there are lots of lower levels you can attack! Still you need to be careful and only bring in items you're not scared of losing or that you can't afford to lose because it's very easy to get killed.
If you want to start Pking the best thing to do would be to go to Edgeville with no weapons and just watch fights to begin with. If you just go in there looking for a fight right away you're definitely going to get killed because there are lots of experienced PKers that really know what they're doing.
When you start to PK you need to make sure you have good gear, food to heal yourself, potions to boost how high you hit and most importantly a special attack weapon. You usually use your special attack weapon when your enemy has a low life points level. This is because they hit very high and much more accurately than none special attack weapons - but on the other hand most special attack weapons only allow you either 1-4 special attacks within an allotted amount of time, and this means that if you take it out and use it too early you risk wasting your special attacks and not being able to kill your opponent.
At low levels the classic dragon dagger is a good weapon to use, but as you get higher a Godsword, Dragon Claws or the Korasi's sword are very effective weapons.
With basic stat bonuses an Armadyl Godsword can hit around 650 life points, Dragon claws and Korasi's sword hit similar amounts. However Dragon Claws are much less accurate although they're much faster, runescape gold and Korasi's sword works very well against melee armour because its special attack is counted as a magic attack and most melee defence armour actually have negative magic bonuses.
For a newbie player of Runescape, that is a player of levels 3-25, the best ways to make a large and steady flow of runescape gold would be to collect and sell one of the following raw materials via The Grand Exchange in Varroc: bones, wool or feathers. Below, I've elaborated on how lucrative each is.
Bones.
Bones are very easily available; go anywhere that players are training and the ground will be littered with them. It takes about five minutes in a cow pen to bag an inventory load of bones. That's about 2,000 gold pieces in five minutes. Store each load up in your bank for as long as you want before going to the Grand Exchange, the more you have the bigger the haul will be. On a good day you could make as much as 12- 14k in half an hour.
Bonus: Few people know about this so there is little competition; bones are like money lying all over the ground in the Runescape world.
Feathers.
Feathers are dropped by chickens when they are slain. Each chicken drops around 25 gp worth of feathers and 80 gp worth of bones. Most players can kill about 5 chickens in a minute. So you're making at least 525 gp a minute, probably more. In half an hour you can make about 6,000 runescape gold pieces.
Bonus: You gain valuable combat experience points while making money.
Wool.
The most profitable way to earn is sheep shearing. Each parcel of wool is worth 150 gp. It takes about five seconds total to get one. Therefore, in five minutes you could gather and bank about 4,000 gold pieces worth. So, in a half hour you could make 24,000 gold pieces... that's quite a haul for so little effort.
Bonus: Few people use this as a source of income, so competition is low and the market is'nt saturated.
Above were the short term options to make cash. There are other long term ways that will bring in tons of cash, but only after months of tiresome skill training. If that's what you prefer you should train skills that produce items that the Runescape community depends on. For example, fishing is one of the best skills to train because players buy large quantities of expensive seafood to take to dangerous areas such as the Wilderness. Mining and smithing are good because players will always buy armor and weapons. You can make millions by taking such items to market, but getting the skill will take a very long time.
Please remember that there are no longer any ways to make "easy runescape gold" on Runescape via scams or cheating, so honesty and time investment are the best policy. Thanks for reading my article and I hope that this information helps you in your gaming.
