Ways to Boost Your Runescape Fishing Level

One swig of a fishing potion will temporarily increase your Fishing level by 3. This can be very helpful if you want to enter the Fishing Guild at level 65 instead of 68 or if you want to increase your chances of catching better fish that you can sell for a higher price on the Grand Exchange.

Another way to temporarily boost your Fishing level is to consume either a Fish or Admiral Pie. Both of these pies can be created and baked with the Cooking skill – a Fish Pie requires a Cooking level of 47 to bake while an Admiral Pie requires Cooking level 70. These items can also be purchased on the Grand Exchange or traded with other players.

Each of these pies has two servings with the Admiral Pie giving a better stat bonus. A single bite of a Fish Pie will raise your Fishing level by 3 while a serving of Admiral Pie increases the stat by 5.

Although it is not quite as dependable as other methods, consuming a serving of brown spicy stew may increase your Fishing level by up to 6 points. However, because of the randomness of the item, it could also decrease your level by up to the same amount. Brown spicy stew will also affect other stats such as Mining.

The Granite Crab can be called with a Summoning level of 16. In addition to giving a +1 invisible boost to Fishing, the familiar will also forage for cod, pike, seaweed, and oysters while you are fishing.

With Summoning level 56, you can call the Ibis. This familiar gives an invisible boost of +3 to your Fishing level. Also, while you are fishing, the Ibis will forage for tuna and swordfish. It will even give you a small bit of Fishing experience when it manages to find a swordfish.

The Granite Lobster is a familiar that can be called at Summoning level 74 and is quite popular with those who have a high enough level to summon it. It gives an invisible boost of +4 to your fishing level and forages for swordfish and sharks even if your Fishing level isn't high enough for you to catch these fish on your own. Also, it will shift some of the Fishing experience from these catches to you, making it a great companion if you're trying to train quickly.
