Ducks are small animals which can be found in rivers or [lakes. They are very small and drop nothing. They are a fairly good way to start training the Magic skill (Low-Level Curse spells). It can also be used to start the Ranging skill, but is not recommended since the player cannot retrieve their arrows after they are shot into the water. An alternative is to get a training bow and arrow and use that on them. The best place to kill ducks in a members world is the Fisher Realm, because there are plenty of them in a pond and there are never any other players there. The best place to kill ducks for Free-to-play is the River Lum east of Lumbridge, because there are several ducks and few players take advantage of the training.
[edit] Fighting strategy
Aside from using halberds, players can only range or mage them.
If the duck is next to the shore, the player can hit it with a melee weapon, but this occurrence is rare, with the exception of the Fishing Guild docks, where there are over 20 of them, and the small pond in Falador Park.
[edit] Trivia
- When the canoe update was released, a glitch allowed players to walk onto the water, making killing ducks much easier.
- In the River Lum, if ducklings are following the duck you killed, they will say "Eep!" and run away.
