Just fished 2k lobsters and sold them for a little under a mil. I went and bought 10k salmon which give 20exp less than lobsters. Which should i go for cook the 2k lobsters or finish cooking the 10k salmon?

A cooking level might help... If you are above 50 cooking I would go for lobsters but I'm not an expert on cooking.

Oops sorry cooking level is now 66

I went with tuna. Try that.

Do the Salmon unless you have cooking gauntlets, if you do at 71 you can use Lobsters.

Go get your cooking gauntlets if you haven't. You wont burn lobsters anymore at your level.
It needs 65 cooking (with gauntlets) to stop burning
75 without gauntlets

Monkfish is also an alternative but...I DON'T FREAKING KNOW WHEN YOU STOP BURNING THEM!
Then, when you get to 94, Sharks until 99 :mrgreen:

MOnkfishes don't get burned at 90 Cooking, with or without gauntlets, doesn't matter.

I would do lobsters to 90, monks to 94, then sharks.

Salmons are fine unless you happen to have several mil you'd like to throw away. I did trouts to 99 and that was fast enough.

Salmons are better unless you have a lot of money.

dang, you people are all wrong.

- 68 cook for lobs with gaunts
- 74 w/o gaunts

- Swordfish at 81 w/ gaunts

- monkfish at 94 w/ w/o gaunts

- sharks 94 w/ gaunts

- rocktail at 99 w/ gaunts

No, he's f2p.

It really depends on what you're going for, Jaque. Lobsters will cost more, but be slightly faster, but since it's 2k lobbies vs 10k salmons, I'd go with salmon since it will overall give you more xp.

Thanks everyone, yes i am f2p for now i was a member and my cooking gaunts are in the bank but i can't use them yet Economy hit me bad so i have to get some stuff together before i can become p2p again

Didn't know you were f2p. Stick with salmons until you don't burn lobsters anymore. Then go with lobsters until your goal.

It depends. I suggest salmon since it's cheaper and you can get more exp out of it. Plus, you have a lesser, if any chance at all, of burning them. Stick to the salmon is my suggestion. And that's coming from an f2p.
