#Frenzied fishing spots

Frenzied fishing spots similar to what you see at Tempoross but for all other fishing spots that will periodically spawn and provide an increase in catch rate.

The idea is that fishing experience rates are generally abysmal and something like this would reward people who are paying attention rather than afk with increased experience and gp per hour, even if it’s marginal.

If people think this is too OP, it could be limited to places like the Fishing Guild and Pisc Fishing Colony.

Could be good for bad stuff like lobster fishing and monkfish but across the board not good for stuff that is already meta or close to it

#

Like not barb fishing or swordfish (2t swords) for example, or at least not at piscarillius due to 2t swordfish

#

Or it could be fine if it were only yield and not xp

I think specifically I want to see increased xp with something like this. I agree that it shouldn’t be an option for methods that already use tick manipulation since it would crank those xp rates up disproportionally.

Maybe in Piscarillius, the frenzied spots could be small net only for monkfish since the xp rates are rough for them.

Monkfish is piscatoris. Piscarillius is the 2t swordfish spot

#

But yes I get your point and understand why you specifically said Fishing guild since all the fish there suck. Would obviously exclude minnows sicne those are already unique

#

Ahh my mistake. Then it would be no problem over at Piscatoris.

#

And yeah I think Minnows can remain their own thing without this added benefit

Would there be frenzied spots at Sacred eels, Infernal eels, Anglerfish, Dark crab, Karambwan?

#

and if so, would they give higher yield?

I think it'd be neat to do this at the fishing guild especially

As u say this would punish regular afk players but it also might reward bots at the same time as I'm they'd be programmed to make the most of it

I asked about those specifically because they're typically fished for the fish & items you get rather than the xp

#

karambwan sorta both

Any increase in exp would be correlated to an increase in yield though, no?

I.e. to get 10% more exp you’d need to catch an extra 10% fish, which would certainly affect the economy

#

And if it’s less than 10% additional exp, i kind of wonder whats the point?

white spruce
#

it doesn't have to

#

it could just be that catching fish in the frenzy would give +% xp

whole horizon
#

I get that, but it does punish because it makes a generally afk skill less afk. Like if say redwoods had something else you had to pay attention to than just the spot moving

#

you mean sulliceps?

#

I'm not inherently opposed, just being devils avocado

#

I was about to suggest it could be like how 2h axes on rations work in Forestry where the bonus XP is there but the product is ruined, for those spots but then people trying to actually catch fish would want to avoid those spots wouldn't they

#

What items do people seek with dark crabs and anglerfish besides the fish? I’m not familiar

But the yield and xp gain would be directly correlated if it were introduced in the same manner as tempeross, 1 extra fish = 1 extra exp drop, which would result in an equivalent boost in yield to the boost of exp… any less than 10% exp and it wouldn’t be worth focusing for, 10% or more boosted yield would certainly affect the economy.

I could get behind the “harder to catch so exp boost” type thing, as long as yields were unaffected. But it does seem like at that point we’re just asking for a buff to fishing exp rates which i don’t necessarily agree with.

Not sure how i feel about this one. Cool idea but i dunno

In that case, it really depends how the frenzied pools would work. If they simply increase your catch rate, or have a chance to catch double like tempoross, you would get more fish/items AND more xp from them.

Instead they could increase the xp you get for each fish caught without increasing the number of fish caught.

Or, they could increase the number of fish you caught, but you get no additional xp from them. Like Rada's blessings.

#

Basically I think the frenzied fishing spot idea would be too good if it gave increased yield and increased xp. I think it should be one or the other

#

Unless you attach a diary to it like varrock does for mining increasing yield and xp, so if West prov was applied to fishing you could justify that being appropriate instead of a free for all buff

#

But the idea of West prov hard maybe buffing monkfish, or kandarin buffing the fishing guild could be something if fishing is in a bad spot

#

I'd be on board for a straight exp increase without extra fish 😁 seems like a good balanced way to achieve this

this already kinda exists for sharks with minnows

The animation could be something like tempoross where there’s fish jumping out of the water

Could be interesting if other fish could get caught during a frenzy too
