Tempoross is a faster option than Barbarian Fishing once you have a crystal tool seed (from Zalcano) and a Dragon harpoon (from Wyrms or Tempoross) to create a crystal harpoon. Requires fishing:3535. Tempoross also provides large amounts of raw food for ironmen.

Alternatively, continuing Barbarian Fishing is the cheaper and next-best method to reach 99.

Currently, the fastest pet method is fishing Karambwans.

Aerial Fishing at fishing:4343/hunter:3535 is more efficient than training Hunting or Fishing separately if your goal is 99 in both.
