I decided to make one.

Trawler Mini-Game

I. Introduction
So you’ve decided to try the Trawler Mini-Game? Well, there are several things you should know. The Trawler is a Mini-Game in Runescape that is fun and challenging, and allows you to catch all different kinds of fish. You only need some items and no fishing level is required. However, you will most likely not be able to complete the Trawler Mini-Game yourself, so you will most likely need a team to try the game with you.
The Trawler Boat can be found in Port Khazard, by a guy named Murphy.

II. Items
Before you and your team try the Trawler Mini-Game, there are a couple items you will need:

1. Swamp Paste
Swamp Paste is the most important item you use on the trawler. You can make it by getting Swamp Tar from Lumbridge swamp and cooking it on a fire, or you can buy it the general store in Port Khazard. You use Swamp Paste to patch leaks in the trawler. Buy a good amount, since it can take up to 6 swamp paste to patch up a hole.

2. Bailing Buckets Note: Not the same as regular buckets
Bailing Buckets are needed for the later part of the Trawler Mini-Game, when the boat has more water in it. When there are too many holes and not enough pasters, you can select Bail on your Bailing Bucket then go on the deck of the boat and dump it. Bailing Buckets can be purchased in the store at Port Khazard. After you have purchased stackable swamp paste, fill the rest of your inventory with Bailing Buckets except about 5 spaces.

3. Rope
Rope is needed during the Trawler Game when the net is broked (broken). A message on your screen will inform you the state of the rope. If it is ripped, run up and use the rope with it. If it stays broken, we can't catch fish! We may have just one net-fixer with all ropes, however. If you wish to do this, please say so here. You will need about 2 ropes. They can be purchased at the store in Port Khazard.

III. Trawling

When you and your team are ready (if you have a team), have one person cross the gangplank After the first person crosses the gangplank, the rest of the team has 1 minute to board the trawler before it sets sail. When aboard, go below deck. After the boat sails around a bit, you will be able to see the screen again. At the top of the screen is a water level meter. It shows how much water has entered the trawler. When it is full, the ship will crash. There is a timer above that meter that shows how many minutes are left till the game ride is over. There is also a message displaying how many fish you have caught. Eventually, leaks will spring below deck and water will pour in. Quickly run to them and click 'fix' or 'patch' leak or whatever it is, and you will automatically use some of your swamp paste to fix it. Continue to patch leaks. A sign in the top right hand corner will tell you if the net is broken. If it is, have someone in your team or yourself run up to the net and click repair. It will use up one rope. After the net is fixed, run below deck.

Note: The net allows you to catch fish, so it’s important to keep it fixed. If you have a team, it may be wise to have one person with all ropes to stand by it the whole time.

Eventually the water from the leaks may overwhelm the boat. If it does and the water level is around half, click the ‘fill’ option on your bailing bucket and the bucket will fill with water. Fill up all your buckets, go above deck, empty them, and go back down and repeat. The trawler ride lasts 11 minutes. In the event of a crash, grab a barrel and you will end up by Port Sarim with some damage to your HP, but nothing serious.
If your team makes it back to Port Khazard, you can see what fish you caught by looking in the Big Net next to the Trawler Boat.

Good luck Trawling!






We are eventually going to need a Special Reports on the main page of RW. I can help with other Special Reports Guides (mostly) if need be.
