Raw Shark Osrs

If you want sheer convenience and steady catches, I usually head to the Catherby beach first. You can catch sharks there with a harpoon once you hit level 76 Fishing, and the neat thing about Catherby is the bank is literally a short run away, which makes banking or noting your haul painless. I tend to set up a looping routine: bank everything, run back to the spot, fish until my inventory's full, then deposit. It’s not glamorous, but it’s efficient — fewer lost minutes running around means more raw sharks per hour.

For slightly higher density and PvP-free vibes I prefer the Fishing Guild if I meet its entry conditions. The spots inside are clustered and other players often sit in that area for long sessions, so you can get pretty constant catches. If I’m feeling lazy I wear whatever boosts I’ve got (angler’s outfit for XP, a fishing potion if I’m just below the level) and open a couple of worlds to hop if a spot lags. Bottom line: Catherby for easy banking and the Guild for concentrated spots — both let me stay focused on fishing rather than wasting time travelling, which is the biggest win for efficiency in my book.

Counting coins while AFK-fishing sharks is my kind of low-effort grind, so I’ve played around with the numbers enough to give a sensible range. In 'Old School RuneScape' you need level 76 Fishing to use a harpoon for sharks, and how much you make per hour really comes down to two things: your catch rate and the current market price for raw sharks.

On catch rates: a chilled session (playing casually, switching tabs, fishing at Catherby or the Fishing Guild) usually nets me around 80–120 sharks per hour. If I’m actively click-intensive or using optimal spots with world-hopping to avoid competition, I’ve hit 130–180 per hour in short bursts. For profit you just multiply fish/hr by GE price per raw shark. So if raw sharks are 1,200 gp each, that’s roughly 96k–216k gp/hr depending on effort. If they’re 3,000 gp each, that becomes 240k–540k gp/hr. Those ranges account for real-world play variance and don’t factor in tiny costs like teleport runes or the rare market fees.

So bottom line: don’t expect a single magic number. Treat it as a sliding scale: low-effort (80–120/hr) vs high-effort (130–180/hr) multiplied by whatever the market’s doing. Personally I check the GE price, pick a comfortable spot, and set a target—if the math gives me over ~150k gp/hr for a chill session, I’m happy to AFK and farm toward that. It’s relaxing and pays the bills in-game, which is always nice.

Lately I’ve been optimizing shark trips like it’s a personal side quest, and honestly the spots that win are the ones with clusters of harpoon tiles and quick banking. The Fishing Guild and Catherby are my top picks because they let you chain catches with minimal downtime — there are several adjacent fishing spots so when one is busy you can step to the next and keep your catch-per-hour solid. Catherby’s beach is comfy for long sessions since you’re right by the bank, and the Guild often has less random player traffic, which helps keep a steady respawn rhythm for you.

If I’m trying to avoid crowded worlds I’ll head to Karamja or spots around Brimhaven and Musa Point; they don’t always have as many adjacent tiles as the Guild, but they tend to be calmer so the effective respawn you experience feels better. I also like hopping worlds to find an empty cluster — a handful of seconds saved per catch adds up. For longer grinds I’ll wear the angler outfit if I’ve earned it and use the best harpoon I can, because small bonuses compound over an hour.

Mechanics-wise, focus on places where you can stand between multiple spots and bank quickly. That combo — density + banking — is what really raises your raw sharks per hour. Personally, when I line everything up it feels ridiculously satisfying to watch inventory fill without long pauses.

Banking a pile of raw sharks in my vault has become a tiny piece of prep I enjoy before I go on longer boss trips in 'Old School RuneScape'. I keep them because they're cheap to stockpile and they note and stack in the bank, so I can buy or fish a bunch without eating up tabs. That makes them a sensible bulk resource: if I want to outfit a squad or restock after a bad session, raw sharks let me refill quickly without hunting down single cooked fish every time.

That said, raw sharks themselves aren't useful during the fight — you need them cooked to eat. For most bossing I either pre-cook sharks and bank them ready to withdraw, or I use higher-healing options if the encounter demands fewer but bigger heals. For example, if I’m doing a beginner-friendly boss or a trip where I expect many short hits, cooked sharks or the classic shark + karambwan combo works fine. If the boss punishes inventory space or requires specific healing timing, I’ll swap to alternatives or brews and drops instead.

So, are raw sharks worth storing? Absolutely, as long as you think of them as a bulk reserve to turn into usable food before you leave the bank. They’re great for budgeting, buying in bulk during sales, and preparing multiple trips at once. I like having that safety net in the bank — it saves me stress and time, and I sleep better knowing I can always cook up a stack before a raid.

Bright and eager here — cooking sharks in 'Old School RuneScape' feels like a small ritual once you get the hang of it. First thing I do is make the environment as safe as possible: use a proper stove/range rather than a fire. Stoves have much lower burn rates, and if you can cook right next to a bank (or in a player-owned house kitchen with a range), you spend less time running and more time actually cooking. I usually cook a small batch of raw sharks so I can click each one and watch the interface instead of spamming 'cook all' and wandering off.

Level matters more than anything. Sharks become a lot safer around the high seventies to eighties in Cooking — the higher your Cooking level, the lower the chance any individual shark will burn. If you're below that sweet spot, consider training on cheaper, lower-burn fish first (like lobsters or swordfish) until you hit the level where sharks are efficient. If you've unlocked the cooking gauntlets from 'Recipe for Disaster', wear them — they reduce the chance of burning high-level fish and are worth the effort if you plan to cook many sharks.

Finally, be patient and focus. Click each shark once it pops up in the cooking window, and avoid distractions or multitasking. For me it’s oddly relaxing: pop on some music, cook a stack, bank, repeat — and watching my profits and healing supplies grow never gets old.

I remember grinding for an uncut onyx in 'Old School RuneScape' and it felt like a real adventure. The most reliable way to get one is by trading in chaos runes to the TzHaar-Hur-Zal in the TzHaar city. You'll need 20,000 chaos runes, which sounds like a lot, but it's worth it for that beautiful gem. Another method is killing the TzHaar creatures, especially TzHaar-Kets and TzHaar-Xils, though the drop rate is pretty low. I've also heard of people getting lucky with the brimstone chest in the Woodcutting Guild, but that's more of a gamble. If you're up for a challenge, the Fight Caves minigame can reward you with an onyx if you trade in a fire cape, though that's a tough one.

uncut onyx is definitely one of the rarest gems you can find. It's not something you stumble upon casually while mining or killing monsters. The main way to get it is through trading with other players or high-level content like the TzHaar fight caves. Even then, the drop rates are brutal. I remember grinding for hours just to get one, and the feeling when it finally dropped was unreal. It's used for crafting the onyx amulet and other high-tier jewelry, so demand is always high. If you see one, grab it—it’s a big deal.

Every time I head into the Wilderness to hunt dragons I get this little electric buzz — brutal black dragons show up in the eastern Wilderness, specifically around the Lava Maze / Chaos Temple area in the multi-combat zone. From memory and a lot of runs, they tend to patrol the lava-maze-ish corridors and the open ground east of the Chaos Temple; that whole chunk of the Wilderness is their home turf. They’re proper high-risk targets because you’re in multi-combat and in deep Wilderness, so expect other players to be nearby and ready to PK.

If you want to actually reach them I usually teleport to Edgeville and run straight north across the ditch, then head east toward the Lava Maze/Chaos Temple coordinates on your map. Bring reliable dragonfire protection — an anti-dragon shield or antifire potions — and decent melee or ranged gear. I tend to use Protect from Magic if I’m getting smacked by their fire, and have a teleport ready (varrock/house/looting tele) if things go south. Drops are worth it but not guaranteed; I always keep my prayers on and my mount of patience ready. It’s a tense, rewarding spot and I love the adrenaline, even if I lose a pack once in a while.

I dug into the 'Old School RuneScape' resources and double-checked the Grand Exchange before replying: there is no official item called the "zombie axe" in 'Old School RuneScape'. I know that sounds like a bummer if you’d been hunting for a spooky-named weapon, but the game doesn't have an axe with that exact name in its item database. Sometimes players invent nicknames for gear they use against undead mobs, or people confuse items between RuneScape 3 and 'Old School RuneScape'.

If you want to be certain for yourself, the quickest route is to search the 'Old School RuneScape' Wiki (type "zombie" or "axe" in the search box) and/or use the Grand Exchange item search in-game. If what you meant was an axe that looks or feels zombie-themed, I’d suggest looking at seasonal/cosmetic items or community ornament kits that change visuals—those pop up from time to time and often circulate on the Grand Exchange. Personally, I usually check the Wiki first and then hop into the GE to see current prices; it's a tidy habit that saves a lot of wandering around, and it keeps me from chasing non-existent collectors' items.
