Catherby

Catherby is a small fishing town located south-east of Camelot and west of White Wolf Mountain. It is a members-only town, and is the ultimate "go to" town for fishermen of all levels due to the vast 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.

To the east of Catherby is White Wolf Mountain. This area can be deadly to low-level players as Level 25 and Level 38 white wolves inhabit the area. 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.

However, you can't fish Monkfish, Manta Rays, or Sea Turtles here.

The Houses Of Catherby
In the small two-storey 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.

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 too.

To the east of Caleb's house is another house, containing three strange chests that are locked up in a cage.

There is a house to the east of the bank with a range. This range is often used as it is very close to the bank.
