Fishing is a gathering skill that allows players to catch raw fish. These fish can then be cooked using the cooking skill.
General
Four zones are available for aspiring fishers, each offering different fish to be caught. The time required per fishing action is depending on the players haste, and can be lowered with haste enchantment. Each action, the player has a certain chance of successfully catching one of the fishes available at that location. This chance will start at 20% and gradually increase with increasing level, up to a maximum of 100%. Although the theoretical maximum chance in the last area is 81.3%, this can be boosted to 100% using fishing enchantment scrolls.
The caught fish can be cooked to offer hitpoint replenishment while fighting and various buffs for out of combat actions. See cooking for more information.
Players have a small chance of obtaining sunken treasures. These can be opened for gold and sometimes gems. More importantly, these treasures have a rare chance of dropping talismans used in runecrafting, and an even rarer chance of dropping a forgotten soul.
Equipment
Eqiupment needed to fish in different zones, all items except for feathers are permanent which means players only need 1. It is possible to vault fishing items and still use them for fishing. Players use 1 feather per catch while fishing in Lazy River.
