A player in Old School Runescape has achieved level 99 Fishing using only shrimp and anchovies, earning official recognition from the game’s social media account. The accomplishment was achieved exclusively through the small fishing net, one of the first tools available to players, which can only catch small prey species including shrimp, minnows, monkfish, and anchovies at designated fishing locations. This represents a significant self-imposed challenge, as the Fishing skill in Old School Runescape offers numerous alternative methods for progression, including various fishing rods, harpoons, lobster traps, and other specialized tools that can catch larger and more valuable fish across different areas. Level 99 is the maximum skill level in Old School Runescape, making this achievement particularly notable given the restrictive methodology employed.
