Why train Fishing?
Fishing is a slow, largely AFK skill where you constantly trade XP against profit — and some methods train other skills at the same time.
ScapePath shows both sides of each Fishing method so you can choose levels or gp, and connects it to the anglerfish money method and PvM food supply.
58 unlocks Barbarian Fishing — the top XP route, which also trains Agility and Strength — 82 is anglerfish for profit, and 96 opens minnows into sharks at the Fishing Guild.
