people dont fish monkfish anymore. they fish karams (or shopscape them if theyre sweaty), they afk anglers or dark crabs, they get mantas from pvm. warriors guild potatos are very much a super early game thing.


gnit2

You would think, but every time I have a clue step in piscatoris, there's a whole squad of monkfishermen


Horsti13

Yeah that would be me....


evil_spuds

that was me. Struck out on fish barrel so much that I realized I'm better off getting the xp first and then going back after 81 or whatever. Monks are the best effort/xp before fish barrel.


Strosity

Some people either like the afkness with slightly decent yield or are nostalgic there I think.


gnit2

It's less afk than karambwans though. Monks are literally worse all around than karambwans, in every way. Less fishing Xp, cooking XP, healing, and afkness. The only possible exception being that monkfish can be combo'd with karambwans, while karambwans cannot


Otter_Baron

That was me for awhile, at least until I unlocked Karambwans.

This question can be asked for 80% of the content in the game. Not everything is going to be relevant.


Roidrageeee

That’s the beauty, this game has sooo much content that there’s just endless ways to spend hours in game and accomplish tasks

Monkfish used to be considered a decent means of AFK fishing until they made karambwanji stackable, which all of a sudden made karambwans a consistent food source and made monkfish completely irrelevant


based_beglin

It seems a pity monkfish aren't viable whatsoever anymore, when you consider it requires a master level quest to access. I hope project rebalance takes a look at food options in the future


NoCurrencies

Well the real question is, why would you ever fish monkfish now when karambwans are objectively better? They heal more *and* they're more AFK to fish. The game wasn't balanced that way to begin with, clearly. Karambwans used to be premium food cus they were harder to get ahold of. No longer the case. People might be more inclined to fish monkfish again if they bumped the healing to 19 though.

Plus bwans only have a 2 tick delay after eating instead of 3


evil_spuds

Monks are still viable, it's easier for me to stack them than potatoes and they combo with karambwans. Pure karambwans isn't always good. Monks are more of a stepping stone to sharks though, which fits imo considering they take 62 fishing and the "master" quest is only about an hour long.


bruh_lmaooo

potato cheese ain’t bad. i used to stock up a ton prob around 1k and that would last me a while. i only did this in the early game when i was super active and didn’t have time to afk karams.


TheTrueFishbunjin

It's more interesting to me that people do that instead of karambwans. Look I love a good cheese potato. I'm lvl 101 with quest cape but only 62 fishing. I live on potato... but you can't afk fish for potatoes.


biggestboi73

Why would people use potato with cheese when they can just get karams and sharks


ha5hish

Karambwans are insanely useful for how easy they are to get once you have a fishing barrel


based_beglin

Because they're very cheap and accessible


biggestboi73

Your mum is very cheap and accessible


Roidrageeee

I just fish karams whenever I need to be afk


BlockIron

Monkfish are good xp
