Fishing enhancers like Rada's Blessing and Spirit Flakes would be way more valuable to training vs resource gathering if they offered xp for the bonus fish caught. Even if it's not a 1:1 ratio for bonus fish to xp. The idea of this comes from the Mining Enhancers like Varrock Armor, Celestial Signet, Mining Gloves, and Mining Cape giving rolls at bonus ore that gives full bonus xp.

Spirit Flakes would more than likely need to be reworked into how they operate, possibly a toggle either Double fish or more xp something like that.

That's interesting, i would have assumed it'd work the same as Varrock Armour wonder why they decided to not grant exp.

people already told me its because xp creep but, radas is what like 7% at elite diaries and fishing flakes give 2x fish and u lose 1 bait per catch but you'd have to go do temporos to get them anyways so its not like something you can buy in bulk. Like rn im doing karambwans for like 30k/hr xp at 95 fishing. I could definetly go do temporos for better xp, or even 3t barb or 2t harpoon. It would just be an optional xp booster for people who wanna go out of their way for it. If it were to happen where radas would give 100% bonus xp thats 7% more xp per/hr on average, if they made it to where flakes did it they could either make it 2x or scale it down so its not guaranteed 2x xp like how mining is so maybe it'd be like 10-20% bonus xp. that combine w radas is 17-27% bonus xp, if i had this with karambwans it'd boost my xp to a whopping 35,100-38,100xp/hr. Doesnt sound like a lot but given i play while doing wfh its a lot of hours shaved off fishing.

Sounds reasonable to me, but there are a lot of people in this community that hate change so resistance is inevitable

But it's still much slower

There is 2-tick harpooning and 3-tick barbarian fishing which is comparable to tick-manipulated granite
High attention and over twice the XP rate for zero profit if you can get in the right rhythm

That said the AFK rates feel about right where they are, Rada's functioning like Varrock armor is something I can agree with because you do eventually have to stop to empty your inventory or bank the fish, plus it's not even 10% like Varrocks' on ores, but I'd pass on the full spirit flakes bonus XP because that activity already gives its fishing XP and it's decent
