RuneScape Fishing Guide for F2p Players

Lvl 1-20

This is where the fun starts! To get started buy yourself a small fishing net from the Grand Exchange in Varrock and head to Draynor Village. Once there go south of the bank and you’ll see some willow trees and a couple of fishing spots to the west of them. Start fishing shrimps (and anchovies at level 15) until you have a full inventory then drop them. Keep doing this until you reach level 20.

Lvl 20-35

Congratulations you now have the ability to fish trout! Head to the Grand Exchange and buy yourself a fly-fishing rod and a couple of feathers (if you run out of feathers go back to the Grand Exchange and buy some more) and go to the fishing spot North of the place with the goblins and spiders in lumbridge and start fishing trout (and salmon at level 30). When you get a full inv drop them (unless you want to bank them and sell them later on) and carry on fishing until you reach level 35 fishing.

Lvl 35-40

When you get to level 35 fishing head back to the Grand Exchange again and buy yourself a harpoon then head to Port Sarim with your new harpoon and 60gp. Find Captain Tobias, Seaman Thresnor or Seaman Lorris and pay the fare to go to Karamja. Once there, go to Musa Point and start fishing tuna. From now on when you get a full inventory go back to Draynor Bank and bank them, sell them when your running low on cash. Repeat this until you get to level 40 fishing

Lvl 40-50

Go back to the Grand Exchange and buy yourself a lobster pot then go to Karamja again (this time with your lobster pot not harpoon) and start fishing lobsters and banking them when you get a full inventory. It takes a long time to level up now so you have to be prepared for loads of trips. Oh and one inventory of lobsters is worth 8k!

Lvl 50-99

Remember that harpoon you bought at level 35 fishing? Well now’s the time to take it out of your bank and bring it to Karamja, but this time for fishing swordfish. Whenever your inventory gets too full, drop any tuna that you can see in your inventory and continue fishing until you have a full inventory of swordfish. One inventory of swordfish is worth 14k so it will probably be very easy to make money from now. Repeat this until you reach level 99 Fishing.

Congratulations! You have reached level 99 Fishing!
