Cooked rocktail detail

Rocktail are fish found in the Living Rock Caverns. Rocktail require a minimum Fishing level of 90, a fishing rod and living minerals as bait to fish, and give 380 experience per catch. They require a Cooking level of 93 to cook and stop burning at level 94 only if wearing cooking gauntlets. They give 225 Cooking experience per fish (228 when a dwarven army axe is wielded after some completion of some Burthorpe/Taverley tasks), which means 276k experience per hour, or, with a dwarven army axe and decorated cooking urns, 370k experience per hour. Cooking one inventory of rocktail, as with any food cooked in the same way, takes about 80 seconds.

Rocktail heal 200 to 1860 life points, depending on your Constitution level.

The bait needed to catch rocktail is called living minerals, which can be obtained by killing and then mining (73 Mining required) living rock creatures within the Living Rock Caverns, or by buying from the Grand Exchange or other players.

It is not very hard to fish these in the Living Rock Caverns, as a bank deposit is fairly close and attacks from living rock creatures can be easily evaded. To reduce the chance of death, use world 84 as this is the official Living Rock Cavern world. Also worlds 77 and 114 are unofficial Living Rock Cavern worlds. Since 11 April 2012 it is possible to get a strange rock by fishing rocktails.

A series of tests conducted with cooking gauntlets equipped yielded a burn rate of 27 rocktails out of 3969, or 0.68%, at the minimum level required to cook them (93).

Rocktails are an ingredient in rocktail soup.

TriviaEdit

  • Rocktail are very similar to Runescape aquanites, and the real-life Angler fish, as they have a bio-luminescent esca (fleshy-like stem with a bulb that emits natural light) on their heads.

    Size comparison between the cavefish shoal (right) and the rocktail shoal (left)
  • Unlike the prices of raw/cooked sharks, the high burn rate of rocktails and the high demand for them in PVP and dangerous situations has caused the price of cooked rocktails to be generally higher than the raw version of rocktails. Therefore, players who buy their raw rocktails that wish to train cooking may make some profit by cooking them, if they don't burn many.
  • Rocktail, along with cavefish, are two of the few fish which provide more experience when fished than when cooked.
  • Rocktails are cheaper to buy than manta rays, even though the rocktail heal more. This is because they are far easier to catch. They are also much easier to cook than manta rays.
