B - Bait Fishing(Fishing rod & Fishing bait)
** - Lava eel require partial completion of the Pest Invasion quest, an Oily fishing rod & Fishing bait
Lava eel are part of the Pest Invasion quest, refer to this guide for more information.Simon wrote:The oily fishing rod can be made like this.
First you need to get a clean harralander and use it on a vial of water to create
an unf harralander potion. Then purchase a blamish snake slime and use it with the unf harralander potion to create a blamish oil (all of the required items can be purchased from the herblore shop)
Purchase a fishing rod and about 30 fishing baits. Use the blamish oil on the fishing rod to create an oily fishing rod. You are now ready to go.
You can fish for lava eels in the Taverly dungeon.
The taverly dungeon is located west of Falador, to be exact here:
The X represents the location where you will be after teleporting to falador,
using the 'cities' teleport in your spellbook.
Once you enter, if you have a high enough level in agility, squeeze through the pipe and walk towards the lava you see,
you can fish the lava eels there.
If you do not have a high enough level in agilty, walk all the way through taverly dungeon, past dwarfs, lesser demons and blue dragons.
You should then reach lava, like I said before. Fish the eels there.

4. 99-2B EXP
Spoiler: show
The best methods to 2B experience...
I did 5 test runs for each of these methods to see how fast/slow they really are.
It's not 100% accurate, but I'd like to think it's relatively close.
Keep in mind that the EXP rates are if you are fishing 100% of the time(cook/bank time not taken into consideration).
1. Monkfish ~ 6,000 EXP
Catch 331,161(254,740 with brawlers) to 2B experience. Approximately 8,666.66(11,266.66 with brawlers) EXP/second.
You need a Small fishing net to catch these. These yield the quickest experience but are junk.
Or, if you'd like to make a little profit...
2. Manta ray ~ 9,000 EXP
Catch 220,774(169,827 with brawlers) to 2B experience. Approximately 4,500(5,850 with brawlers) EXP/second.
You need a Small fishing net to catch these.
Or, if you're premium and would like to make more profit...
3. Rocktail ~ 11,400 EXP
Catch 174,296(134,074 with brawlers) to 2B experience. Approximately 4,276.07(5,557.99 with brawlers) EXP/second.
You need Premium status, a Fishing rod & Living minerals to catch these. These are the slowest/most profit.
As you can see Monkfish are the quickest by far. Also, you don't have to bank, making them 2-3x faster than the others.
