Ironman Fishing training route
Food self-sufficiency. Keep everything for Cooking.
- 1–52 Crayfish (1) → fly-fish trout/salmon (20) in Lumbridge/Shilo
- 52–68 Menafish in Menaphos (52), better food and XP than trout/salmon
- 68–91 Green blubber jellyfish (68, Deep Sea Fishing hub), strong Ironman food
- 91–99 Blue blubber jellyfish (91, heals 750) + sailfish (97+); rocktails (90, Living Rock Caverns) also goodDecorated fishing urns for bonus XP; crystal fishing rod +5% catch
Frequently asked
How many actions do I need to reach my Fishing goal?
Enter your current and target level or XP. Every row in the table divides the XP you still need by that action's XP (after your boosts) and rounds up. Load your RSN to fill in your current XP from the hiscores.
Why does the table show where materials come from?
Ironmen cannot buy from the Grand Exchange, so the useful question is not what a material costs but where you can get it yourself: a shop, a monster drop, or another skill. Each material shows the easiest source we know of, and turns amber when the skill route needs a level you do not have yet.
Which XP boosts are included?
Only always-on boosts with a single fixed number: the skilling outfit for the skill (full set) and a few tools and rings. Bonus XP, Double XP and the clan avatar are not modelled; Ironmen cannot use the clan avatar boost anyway. Use "Other boost %" for anything else.
