These calculations assume around 287 catches an hour. At maximum efficiency and concentration, players are able to catch and process up to 375 eels per hour.
These calculations are based on having level 99 Fishing and maintaining a moderate amount of efficiency. Assuming the same intensity, a player with level 90 Fishing could expect to catch around 270 eels an hour. Additionally, players could wield their highest available Rada's blessing 4 for up to 8% chance of catching two eels at once. Lastly, access to Karamja gloves 1 is assumed for the significant Tokkul discount (and therefore a higher conversion rate of Tokkul to GP).
The primary source of profit from infernal eels comes from onyx bolt tips; although Lava scale shards and Tokkul are still a sizable amount of profit. The strategy for fishing is simple; whenever the inventory fills, the player smashes the eels with a hammer until the inventory is empty, then continues to fish infernal eels.
There is no delay in smashing eels so one can spam click to use a hammer on the last eel in the inventory. However, players can simply wait after smashing one eel, as the character will automatically smash the remainder; though it will be at a highly reduced rate. In either case, due to the time it takes for a full inventory of infernal eels to smash, this is considered a very low-attention profit method.
It is also worth mentioning additional profit may be acquired by completion of Clue bottles. Players can expect extended periods of time catching infernal eels without banking. As such, most trips will net several Clue Bottles. This, of course, increases profit margins considerably and provides enough breaks from active playing.
As a last reminder, it may be noted, that the GP/Tokkul conversion rate varies depending on the time of purchase. Conversely, uncut onyx, maintains a very steady price; it may therefore not be the best GP/Tokkul conversion at a certain time. When spending Tokkul, it is advisable to check alternative items on this page.
