Fishing is the art of catching fish from spots located around Old School RuneScape. You can catch higher-tier fish depending on what your level is. There are different techniques ranging from Net fishing to Rod, Pot, and Harpoon. These caught fish can later be used to train your cooking skill. In the following guide, we’ll be showing you the best way to make OSRS Gold through Fishing. Let’s start!
Dark Crabs
To catch Dark Crabs, you’ll first need to prepare yourself by covering the following requirements. You’ll need high defensive gear against the Player Killers, a slashing weapon to cut through the webs and access the Wilderness lever, a lockpick to escape the Player Killer, and completion of the Wilderness Elite Diary to increase the profit rate per hour. You can catch Dark Crabs at the Wilderness Resource Area.
Minnows
To catch Minnows, you’ll first need to prepare yourself by covering the following requirements. You’ll need the Angler’s Outfit to gain access to where the fishing spot is located, and a Rada’s Blessing for an 8% chance to catch double Minnows. We don’t recommend it if you’re looking for an AFK approach because the spot changes every 15 seconds.
Minnows stack in your inventory, so you won’t have to worry about banking. Once you have a massive number of Minnows, you can exchange them for Sharks. Per 40 Minnows gives you 1 Shark and this can be done through the NPC called Kylie Minnow.
Sacred Eels
To catch Sacred Eels, you’ll need to prepare yourself by covering the following requirements. You’ll need at least 72 Cooking, and you’ll have to complete the Regicide quest. Besides that, you’ll need a Fishing Rod, Bait, and a Knife. The knife is used on the eels to extract Zulrah Scales from them. The amount you get depends on what your cooking level currently is. That’s why we suggest you have a higher level.
Infernal Eels
To catch Infernal Eels, you’ll need to prepare yourself by covering the following requirements. You’ll need at least 25 Herblore for the Oily Fishing Rod and have a Fire Cape to access the Mol Ul Rek city. Besides that, you’ll need a Fishing Rod and Bait to catch them.
You’ll also need a Hammer because you’ll be using it on them to extract Tokkul and sometimes Onyx Bolt Tips as well as Lava Shards. You can save up to 300,000 Tokkuls to purchase an Onyx Gem from the city’s store. This can later be sold for profit at the Grand Exchange.
Swordfish & Lobsters
To catch Swordfish or Lobsters, you’ll need to prepare yourself by covering the following requirements. Make sure you complete the Corsair Curse and Dragon Slayer quest to access a particular place. Besides that, you’ll need a Harpoon or Lobster Pot to catch them. There’s one fishing spot located on Karamja Island, and there’s another that’s in the Corsair Cove Resource Area for which you need to complete the quests mentioned above.
Conclusion
There are several new and old ways you can approach to make Runescape Gold off of Fishing. While it can get boring at times, the end result is worth the time. We hope our guide was helpful. Good luck with your journey!
