Fishing Guild Tips
Catch Filter
At the Fishing Guild, you can toggle whether to only catch your highest tier fish or all types. It's generally best to only catch the highest tier fish for maximum efficiency.
Skilling Tasks
At level 76 and above, players can complete skilling tasks while training. These provide:
- XP Reward: Current XP / 200 (capped at 10M XP for 50,000 XP gain)
Recommendation by Game Mode:
- Prime/Heroic: Highly recommended - significantly increases XP gain
- Higher XP Modes: Time spent getting new tasks may provide less XP/hour than simply fishing
Tips
- Focus on your highest available fish for best XP rates
- The Fishing Guild is your main training location
- Consider skilling tasks on slower game modes for the XP bonus
