Access Requirements
Tempoross is gated behind 35 Fishing.
35 Fishing also tends to sit alongside the other skilling boss gates, so it is usually cheaper to clear them together than to come back for each one. The boss requirements checklist lists them by group.
Where Tempoross Sits in Progression
Tempoross is the entry point for the skilling boss group, so there is nothing easier here to warm up on. Above it sit Hespori and Zalcano.

Drops and What Tempoross Is Worth
Drops worth the trip: Fish barrel, tackle box, soaked pages. Whether that is worth your time depends on how many kills an hour you personally get, which is a function of solo vs mass tempo rather than of your gear list.
Ironman Notes
Without a Grand Exchange, fish barrel, tackle box, soaked pages has to be earned rather than bought, and this is the fastest table it sits on.

- Ignoring that solo and mass feel different
- Ignoring that xP plus spirit flakes goals
