Welcome to the Death of Runescape. This is only the beginning my friends. Another mindless update that will be passed by the mindless up votes from a mindless community. Why add another absolutely useless fishing method???????????? The lava Eels was an obvious flop. Now lets add a method that offers terrible Xp and horrible money making compared to the thousands of other methods. Lets update our dead content instead of adding more dead content.

Lets add a useful update such as more bank spaces. With all the EZ-Scape items being added into game we are going to need more space; or the people that continue playing will need more spaces.

Absolutely Fantastic! I'm loving all this ideas and being obsessed with mining (yes, i'm weird) i'm extremely excited for this new mining content. Hopefully all this passes the polls, I will be voting yes for everything. Good work old school team. :)

I love the minnows idea, it's great and just what the Fishing Skill needs! But as proposed, it needs a buff.

Suggestion:

Buff minnows to ~45k xp/hr, maintain 250-450k gp/hr.

Justification:


Minnows has higher reqs, higher click-intensity, lower xp rates, and lower gp rates compared to a) other skills at similar levels, and b) other options within the fishing skill itself.

Compared to Other Skills


Minnows: 16-25k xp/hr, 250-450k gp/hr, click-intensive
Red chinchompas: 35-45k xp/hr, 300-450k gp/hr, click-intensive
Yew trees: 25-35k xp/hr, 50-100k gp/hr, AFK
Runite Ore: 3-6k xp/hr, 300-500k gp/hr, click-intensive
Wintertodt: 150-300k xp/hr, 200-400k gp/hr, Moderate attention
Motherlode Mine: 15-45k xp/hr, 200-500k gp/hr, semi-AFK

Compared to Other Fishing Methods


Minnows are outclassed, plain and simple:

Minnows: 16-25k xp/hr, 250-450k gp/hr, click-intensive
Sharks: 15-17k xp/hr, 100-150k gp/hr, AFK
Inferno Eels: 30-45k xp/hr, 115-150k gp/hr; semi-AFK
Anglerfish: 15k xp/hr, 100-200k gp/hr; AFK
Monkfish: 25-35k xp/hr, 100-200k gp/hr, AFK
Dark Crabs: 40k xp/hr, 325-400k gp/hr; semi-AFK
Trout/Salmon: 30-50k xp/hr
Barbarian Fishing: 40-60k xp/hr, click-intensive (no tick manipulation)

Conclusion


The Fishing Skill has PLENTY of high-level AFK options, and one high-level click-intensive option. It lacks in two areas: click-intensive, high gp/hr; and click-intensive, moderate xp and moderate gp/hr. Given the plethora of low-xp options already available, Minnows should have their xp boosted to fill the second gap.


tl;dr Fishing Skill lacks click-intensive, moderate xp+gp/hr methods. Minnows should fill that void with ~45k xp/hr, 250-450k gp/hr. The chins of fishing
