Catherby is a small members-only fishing town located south-east of Camelot and west of White Wolf Mountain. It is the ultimate "go to" town for fishermen of all levels due to the variety of fishing spots available on its shores. It is also a popular town for woodcutters, due to the vast amount of trees to the west of the town. This town is also recommended for farmers of all levels because of the allotment farming patches north of town, which are close to a bank and a farming shop, and the Fruit tree patch immediately to the east of town. There are 2 ranges in Catherby to cook fish and cookable allotments. Catherby is also a convenient place to train Herblore after doing Druidic Ritual. Limpwurt roots and Tarromin can be planted at a farming level of 26, in order to make strength potions. There are also unicorns for making anti-poison. Vials can be filled with water using the town's sink. Useful objects can be caught with a big net bought from the fishing shop. With level 41 fletching, oysters caught can be chiselled into pearl bolt tips, giving 6.25 fletching experience per shell. Seaweed can also be caught which is an ingredient for glass blowing. On 28 April 2012 a rift appeared near the Catherby fishing spot as a teaser for the upcoming Runespan mingame.

To the east of Catherby is White Wolf Mountain. This area can be deadly to low-level players because level 25 and level 38 White wolves inhabit the area, as well as a level 73 Big wolf. To the west of Catherby is Camelot and Seers' Village, and to the south-west is the mighty city of East Ardougne, the capital of Kandarin.

Vanessa's Farming ShopEdit

Vanessa's Farming Shop sells filled plant pots, secateurs, rakes, spades, and has a stock of basic hops.

Catherby Farming Patches Edit

The Farming spots in Catherby are a popular spot to train Farming. To the north of Catherby lies a large patch that is used in Farming. There are two allotment patches for growing vegetables, one herb patch for growing various herbs used in Herblore and one flower patch for growing flowers to help protect other produce. Wandering nearby is, as usual, a handy Tool Leprechaun. If the compost bin is full or rotting, the nearby farming store is handy for selling low-level crops.

There is also a Fruit tree patch located south-east of Catherby near White Wolf Mountain. Here you can grow your own Fruit Trees. Ellena will look after your tree for a fee.

Dantaera Edit

Main article: Dantaera

Dantaera is the master farmer of the Catherby farming patches. She will happily look after your crops for you for a fee. She also runs a small farming shop.

White Wolf Mountain Agility Grapple ShortcutEdit

Near the fruit tree patch on the shores of Catherby is an Agility shortcut which allows you to grapple up a small cliff. To use this shortcut you need a mithril grapple and level 35 Ranging, level 32 Agility and level 35 Strength. You also need to have completed the Fishing Contest quest. You cannot grapple back down however.

Taverley Dungeon To Catherby Agility Grapple ShortcutEdit

South of the Catherby fishing spots on the shore is another Agility Shortcut. This shortcut allows you to grapple across from the Water Obelisk Island to the shores of Catherby. To use this shortcut you need a mithril grapple and level 29 Ranging, level 36 Agility and level 22 Strength. However, you cannot go back from this agility shortcut. Once you come from the ladder leading from the Black Dragon spawn, you have to go back through the Taverley dungeon again and repeat.

Catherby Shore Fishing SpotsEdit

An abundance of fishing areas in RuneScape for players with lower than Level 68 Fishing exists close to the east side of the town's bank. There are 2 Net/Bait spots, 2 Cage/Harpoon spots, and 3 Net/Harpoon spots, allowing you to use fishing equipment such as Small Nets, Big Nets, Harpoons and Lobster Pots to catch almost any type of fish; however, Monkfish, Manta Rays, and Sea Turtles are unattainable here. It is often crowded with fishers, mostly catching Lobsters, Swordfish and Sharks. Bots however are often in this spot, so you might have a hard time getting what you need.

• Catherby is a great place to feed your kitten/cat raw fish to help age it.

  

The Houses Of CatherbyEdit

In the small two-story house directly south of the farming patch is an insect repellent spawn. This is used during the Merlin's Crystal Quest. Upstairs in this house is a jug of wine spawn, as well as what appears to be a Saradomin rug on the floor.

To the east of this house is another house. This house belongs to a man named Caleb, whom players meet during the Family Crest quest. Inside his house is a range and sink. There are also pie dish, burnt fish, jug of water, knife and bucket of water spawns in his house.

To the east of Caleb's house is another house, containing three strange chests that are locked up in a cage, there is a bank table in the house, bringing up the possibility of the building being a bank.

There is a house to the east of the bank with a range. This range is often used for cooking what you have fished for as it is very close to a bank.
