Quick Start

Easiest option - Ez-Add 1-99:

1. Start the script with your character logged in anywhere
2. Click the "Ez-Add 1-99" button in the Progressive Mode panel
3. Choose a training path:
   • Fast XP Path - Shrimp → Trout/Salmon → Barbarian (best XP + bonus Agility/Strength)
   • Profitable Path - Shrimp → Trout/Salmon → Lobster → Monkfish → Minnows (best GP)
   • AFK Path - Shrimp → Trout/Salmon → Lobster → Barbarian → Karambwan (low effort)
4. Click Start

Manual setup:

1. Stand near the fishing spot you want to use
2. Select a Location Preset or choose "Custom" for manual configuration
3. If using Custom:
   • Select the Fishing Target (the type of fish you want to catch)
   • Click "Set Current Tile" to mark your fishing area
   • Adjust the Tile Radius to cover all fishing spots you want to use
4. Choose whether to bank or drop fish
5. Click Start

Script Arguments

Load a saved settings profile by passing the profile name as a script argument:

MyProfile

This loads <tribot-folder>/nScripts/NFisher/settings/MyProfile.ini and starts immediately without showing the GUI. Useful for automation and automatically starting scripts on clients.

Additional options:

• last - Load the most recently used settings
• Profiles saved to nScripting.com Settings Storage can also be loaded by name

Requirements

Skill Requirements

Equipment Requirements

Different fish require different tools:

Note: Enable "Purchase fishing tools from Grand Exchange if needed" to automatically buy missing tools and bait.

Location-Specific Requirements

Tip: Locations like Lumbridge, Draynor, Catherby, and Musa Point have no special requirements.

How It Works

The script operates in a simple loop:

1. Check for equipment - Ensures you have the correct fishing tool and bait. If not, banks to retrieve them or purchases from the Grand Exchange.
2. Travel to area - If not already in your configured fishing area, walks there.
3. Fish - Finds and clicks the nearest fishing spot within your area.
4. Wait for catch - Waits while your character fishes, handling:
   • Fishing spot movement (automatically moves to the new location)
   • Level ups (restarts fishing after the interface appears)
   • Flying fish at minnows (moves to another spot)
5. Handle inventory - When full:
   • If banking is enabled: walks to the nearest bank and deposits fish
   • If dropping is enabled: drops all fish using shift-drop (if available)
6. Repeat

Special Features

• Karambwan vessel refilling - Automatically refills the vessel with karambwanji bait if it becomes empty
• Spirit flakes - Keeps spirit flakes in inventory for a 50% chance of double catch (if enabled)
• Minnow flying fish - Detects and moves away from flying fish that eat your minnows
• Sacred eel dissection - Optionally dissects sacred eels into Zulrah's scales when inventory is full (requires 72 Cooking)

Settings Reference

Fishing Settings Tab

Location Preset

• Select a pre-configured fishing location with optimal settings
• Automatically populates fishing target, tile, radius, and banking recommendation
• Select "Custom" to configure your own location
• The dropdown is searchable - just start typing to filter

Fishing Target

• The type of fish to catch
• Determines the tool required, bait needed, and which fishing spot action to use
• Must match the fishing spots in your selected area

Fishing Tile

• The center tile of your fishing area
• Click "Set Current Tile" to set it to your current position
• The script draws a visual overlay showing your area when the GUI is open

Tile Radius

• How far from the center tile the script will search for fishing spots (1-50 tiles)
• Fishing spots outside this radius are ignored
• Fishing spots are highlighted green (in area) or red (outside area) when the GUI is open

Bank fish instead of dropping

• When enabled: banks fish when inventory is full
• When disabled: drops fish when inventory is full (faster XP)

Purchase fishing tools from Grand Exchange if needed

• Automatically buys the required fishing tool and bait if you don't have them
• Requires GP in your bank/inventory

Progressive Mode

Progressive mode allows you to train from 1-99 automatically by switching fish types as you level up.

Use progressive mode

• Enable to use the progression task list

Add Task

• Adds the current fishing settings as a new progression task
• Prompts you to set a target Fishing level to stop at

Update Selected Task

• Replaces the selected task with your current settings
• Allows editing the stop condition

Remove Selected Task

• Deletes the selected task from the list

Ez-Add 1-99

• Quickly generates a complete 1-99 training path
• Three options:
  • Fast XP Path: Shrimp (to 20) → Trout/Salmon (to 58) → Barbarian Leaping (to 99)
  • Profitable Path: Shrimp (to 20) → Trout/Salmon (to 40) → Lobster (to 62) → Monkfish (to 82) → Minnows (to 99)
  • AFK Path: Shrimp (to 20) → Trout/Salmon (to 40) → Lobster (to 58) → Barbarian Leaping (to 65) → Karambwan (to 99)

Task List

• Drag and drop to reorder tasks
• Double-click to load a task's settings into the configuration panel
• Use arrow keys to move selected tasks up/down
• Tasks execute sequentially until all are complete

Advanced Settings

Access advanced settings through the Advanced Preferences button.

Fishing

• Move mouse off screen while fishing - Makes the bot appear more AFK by moving the mouse off-screen while waiting for fish (enabled by default)
• Use spirit flakes - Keeps spirit flakes in inventory for a 50% chance of double catches. No extra XP, but more fish banked.
• Dissect sacred eels - When fishing sacred eels, use a knife to dissect them into Zulrah's scales when inventory is full. Requires 72 Cooking.

Dropping

• Shift-drop fish - Uses shift-click dropping if enabled in-game (faster). Falls back to right-click if unavailable.
• Dropping pattern - Order to drop items (Left to Right, Top to Bottom, etc.)

Standard settings for antiban, AFK behavior, breaks, stop conditions, muling, world hopping, and Discord notifications are also available - hover over options for details.

Troubleshooting

"Progressive mode is enabled but no progression entries are configured"

Cause: You enabled progressive mode but didn't add any tasks to the progression list.

Fix: Either:

• Add progression tasks using the "Add Task" or "Ez-Add 1-99" buttons
• Disable progressive mode if you just want to fish one type of fish

"No fish in inventory to drop, but we tried to drop fish?"

Cause: The script expected to have fish to drop but found none. This is a rare edge case that can occur if fish were somehow removed from inventory between checks.

Fix: This usually resolves itself on the next loop. If it persists:

• Restart the script
• Make sure your inventory isn't being filled with items other than fish

Getting Help

If you run into issues not covered in Troubleshooting:

1. Generate a bug report - In TRiBot: Dev Tab → Generate Bug Report (includes logs, settings, and screenshot)
2. Post on Discord - Share the zip and describe what happened vs. what you expected at discord.gg/BFtypSSbjp

For issues that are hard to capture in a screenshot, a short screen recording helps.

Tips

• Use the Fishing Guild when possible (68 Fishing required) - it provides an invisible +7 Fishing level boost which increases catch rates for most fish (note: this boost does NOT apply to minnow fishing)

• Drop fish for faster XP - Banking takes time; if you don't need the fish for cooking or profit, dropping is much faster

• Enable shift-drop in game settings - The script will use shift-drop if available, which is significantly faster than right-click dropping

• Barbarian fishing gives bonus XP - Leaping fish grant small amounts of Strength and Agility XP in addition to Fishing XP, making it the best overall training method

• Minnows are excellent for profit - At 82+ Fishing, minnows can be exchanged for raw sharks at a rate of 40:1, providing good GP while training

• Spirit flakes double your catch - If you have spirit flakes from Tempoross, enable them in Advanced Settings for a 50% chance to catch double fish (no extra XP, but more profit when banking)

• Karambwan are very AFK - The fishing spots don't move, making karambwan fishing one of the most relaxed training methods at higher levels

• Monkfish require Swan Song - Don't forget to complete this quest before selecting Piscatoris as your location

• Minnow fishing requires the full Angler outfit - You must show the complete outfit to Kylie Minnow before accessing the platform. The script assumes you have already done this.

• Sacred eels for profit - At 87 Fishing and 72 Cooking, you can catch and dissect sacred eels for Zulrah's scales. Enable "Dissect sacred eels" in Advanced Settings to automatically process them.
