How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Trout at 70 against Tuna at 100 for early planning. Try Shark at 210 against Manta Ray at 216 for late game gains.
XP numbers are per successful cook on a range or fire. Burnt fish give no XP. Burn chance falls as Cooking level rises. Ranges burn less than fires. Lumbridge Castle range, Hosidius kitchen, cooking gauntlets, and cooking cape lower burn chance for listed fish. Free players often train to Swordfish. Members move to Monkfish, Shark, Sea Turtle, and Manta Ray for faster XP. Check live Grand Exchange prices before bulk buying raw fish.
