Trying to update this guide whenever I get the chance to, but I don't play RuneScape as much anymore...just going for 100 combat, 63 prayer, 87 fishing, and 90 cooking slowly right now...should get the 9 levels I need for all that before next summer... :P 9/27/02 - Update on Pineapple rings and Pineapple Pizzas. Added what some foods heal, some little tips, and other minor things. Trying to keep this updated but all I ever do on RuneScape now is train and fish when I'm on...I don't check out new stuff much no more. Although I did do the Waterfall Quest recently. 7/24/02 - Update on Tea. 7/17/02 - Update on the Carp cooking experience points & more people in Credits. 7/7/02 - Guide first released. -2. Introduction- Yo, this is FrosenFoison A.K.A. DJ Methorz...I was playing RuneScape and thought I'd make a fishing and cooking guide cause that's what I do best in the game. I'm hoping this guide can get people more interested in the fishing and cooking business. Just to make sure people know, there are two versions of RuneScape. F2P (Free-to-play) and P2P (Pay- to-play). F2P is completely free but does not get as much updates as P2P. P2P costs $5 (U.S.) a month, or $45 (U.S.) a year, and it contains skills, items, and areas that are inaccessible in F2P. In this guide, you will see asterisks (*) by some names. This simply lets the reader know that these items/areas are only accessible in P2P. -3. How Fishing Works- Jagex recently updated (November 14, 2002) the mining and fishing systems. The mining and fishing systems now have fatigue. What this means is, over time, your character will become too tired to mine/fish. When you reach your fatigue rate, you can eat food to decrease the percentage of fatigue (usually one or two fishes will decrease one point) or rest in a bed. To rest in a bed, you just need to left-click on the bed and your character will say "Zzzz" "Zzzz" and you will feel fully rested and ready to mine/fish again. If your mining/fishing is a high level, you will be able to mine/fish for longer periods of time than lower level miners/fishers. For example, a level 30 fisher may get too tired to fish around level 40% fatigue, while a level 86 fisher may get too tired to fish around 89% fatigue (This example is not accurate). No matter what level mining/fishing you are, you will be able to fill up your inventory faster when mining/fishing. This system works well for miners, as there are beds nearby, but for fishers, particularly in the fishing guild and on Karamja, it sucks, since there are no beds nearby. Jagex plans to allow its customers to choose whether they want to mine/fish using the old system or this new system. This is a good plan and will allow fishers to be able to fish again. On F2P, as lobsters/swordfishes can only be caught on Karamja, it is a complete waste of time and money to leave the island with around a half load of fishes to bank and rest on a bed, so bringing back the old system as a choice is necessary in my opinion. -4. Fishing Equipment- There are many types of fishing equipment and they all have specific level requirements in order to use them. Prices for equipment depend on many of that certain item are in stock. For example, if there are 200 baits in stock, they will cost 3 GPs each. When there are about 6 in stock, they cost about 6 GPs each. Net: A net allows you to catch Shrimp and Anchovies. It can be bought for 5 GPs in the Port Sarim Fishing Shop. Fishing Rod: A fishing rod allows you to fish Sardines, Herrings, and Pikes. It can be bought for 5 GPs in the Port Sarim Fishing Shop.

It can be bought for 3 GPs in the Port Sarim Fishing Shop when the stock is full at 200. Feathers: Feathers are required to fish with a fly-fishing rod.

Oysters*: Oysters give 1 fishing experience point (?) and can't be cooked. Oyster shells may have pearls in them, and may not. If you find a shell that does contain pearls, use a chisel with the shell to make pearl bolt tips. These pearl bolt tips can then be put on bolts to make pearl bolts. The power of pearl bolts is equivelant to mithril arrows. Gloves and Boots only give 1 fishing experience point each. -6. Types of Pastries- There are many different types of pastries in the RuneScape world. NOTE: Most pizzas and cakes are not one-click food items. Basically, each time you click on the food item, you eat a part of it (1/2 of a pizza per click, 1/3 of a cake per click). These are not good food items to take out into the wilderness because when you are attacked and retreat to eat, you have to eat fast. If you eat a swordfish (one-click food item, heals 14 HP), that should take about a second to eat. If you eat a pizza or cake (two and three-click food items), in the time you've clicked two or three times to eat the item, you could have eaten two or three swordfishes. A chocolate cake heals 15 HP in three clicks and a pineapple pizza heals 20 HP in two clicks. A swordfish in two clicks is 28 HP and 42 HP in three clicks. If you have 30 HP left and eat a whole chocolate cake, you'll heal to 45 HP. If you then get attacked and get hit with a combo of 20, 24, DEAD...you made a bad decision of taking cakes out to the wild. If you had eaten two swordfishes, you would have healed +28 HP; with 30 HP, that's 58 HP. If you got hit with a 20, 24, 5, then you'd have 9 HP left and you could run. In the cake situation, even if you had gotten hit by a 1, you would've died. In the swordfish situation, if you got hit by a 13, you could have ran. A 14 and you would've been dead, but your chances were much better with swordfishes. Just a little tip. Bread: Bread gives 40 cooking experience points. Bread is made from cooking bread dough. Heals 4 HP. Stew: Stew gives 90 cooking experience points. Stew is made from meat, a potato, and a bowl of water. Heals 9 HP. Curry*: Curry gives 125 cooking experience points.

Pineapple pizzas are made from a pizza base, a tomato, a cheese, and a pineapple ring. Heals 20 HP total (10 HP per half of the pizza). Cakes: Cakes give 120 cooking experience points. Cakes are made from a bucket of milk, an egg, a pot of flour, and a cake tin. Heals 12 HP total (3 HP per slice of the cake; there are 3 slices).

Dragon Bitter*: Heals 1 HP, -5 attack, and +2 strength levels. Can be bought in the Yanille bar for 2 GPs. NOTE: I'm not sure if this only applies to the Greenmans Ale and Dragon Bitter beers, but the amount of attack/defense/strength levels you're drained of temporarily vary by the level of your attack/defense/strength. I had a friend test the beers for me...he lost 4 attack/defense/strength levels, while I lost 5. Easter eggs and pumpkins both heal 14 HP each and were dropped on special holidays. -7.
