Training

Fastest Route to 99

/fish name:Shrimps from 1–5 /fish name:Sardine from 5–10 (requires fishing bait) /fish name:Herring from 10–20 (requires fishing bait) OPTIONAL:Fishing Trawler for Angler outfit /fish name:Trout from 20–30 (requires feathers) /fish name:Salmon from 30–58 (requires feathers) OPTIONAL:Aerial Fishing (requires minimum 35) for Pearl barbarian rod /fish name:Barbarian fishing from 58–71 (requires feathers)

/k name:tempoross from 71–99 using a crystal harpoon

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 35. Tempoross also provides large amounts of raw food for ironmen.

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

Best Pet Chance

Currently, the fastest pet method is fishing Karambwans.

Additional Information

Aerial Fishing at 43/35 is more efficient than training Hunting or Fishing separately if your goal is 99 in both.
