[edit] Daily/Weekly

[edit] Suggested Equipment

Hunting usually involves quite a bit of running around - for this reason, anything you can do to reduce your weight will make it possible for you to run more.

In addition, wearing the specific Camo Clothing for the hunter area will increase your chances of a successful catch.

[edit] Inventory

Ropes can be bought at the Shantay Pass located in Al-Kharid, and Fishing Nets can be bought in Catherby Fishing Shop or Port Sarim.


[edit] Training

This table lists various methods of hunting which are recommended for players interested solely in raising their hunter level. Information on profit, items dropped, etc. may be mentioned in the Notes column, but only hunting methods which are good for leveling up are listed here.

Notice that just because a method requires a higher hunter level does not imply that it is more effective than a method available for a lower hunter level. A hunt that provides lower XP but takes less time per catch may prove more effective than a hunt that provides higher XP at a lower rate.

Level Creature XP/Catch XP/Hour Area Equipment Notes
1 File:Crimson swift.PNGCrimson Swift 34 Feldip Hunter area (Fairy ring AKS) bird snare
  • Although Common Kebbits give slightly more experience, it's much faster to snare Crimson Swifts
  • Nothing worthwhile obtained from hunting, so if you want to make a profit hunt Polar Kebbits.
  • Remember if a bird swoops down on your snare but isn't trapped means that you must take the snare down and set it back up or it won't work
  • Do not log out without picking your bird snare up, or you will lose it.

Uzer Hunter Area Noose wand
Bird snare
  • These two can be hunted at the same time
  • Uzer Hunter area usually deserted
  • Need a very large supply of waterskins in desert or you will take constant damage and die sooner or later.
  • On the way there are crocodiles and Ugthanki camels, both of which are aggressive and may be a danger to lower levelled players.
15 File:Ruby_harvest.PNGRuby Harvest 24 Piscatoris Fishing Colony's Hunter Area, south of the Copper Longtails
  • Fast to catch
  • Weight reducing equipment is crucial here, as you will be running around a lot.
  • Fill your inventory with butterfly jars and buy a butterfly net at Yanille.
  • Use the fairy ring just north-west of Yanille and teleport to hunting area (Fairy ring: AKQ).
  • It is strongly recommended that you put the camera to the top, as they are hard to click on.

  • You can only have one deadfall trap at a time, regardless of level
  • Places to hunt: directly south of the Rare Tree icon; right next the spot for bird-snaring copper longtails; and right next to the fairy ring
  • Bring a hatchet to save inventory space by cutting the trees you need for the deadfall traps
  • Bring a chisel to save inventory space by chiselling the spikes the kebbits drop into stackable bolts (requires Fletching level 32)
  • If you are catching birds as well, it is possible to work on fletching at the same time by using the feathers on arrowshafts made with the knife and logs, though this may not be possible if hunting rabbits.
39 27,000
  • At level 39 you can smoke traps, and at level 40 you can set up an extra bird snare (if you are snaring birds at the same time)

  • Try to get an empty world and memorize spawn positions of the kebbits.
  • Groups of Spotted kebbits spawn in the central spawning areas, and single Spotted kebbits spawn on the side areas.
  • Bring 500 coins to rent the falcon. It will not fly away if you log out but it will if you teleport.
  • In order to equip a falcon you must have your weapon, shield, and glove spots free.
  • During this training, the more room the better for holding the pesky bones and fur that you get when you capture them.
  • Bury the bones and drop the fur as soon as your inventory is full.

  • Can be used to train Ranged (or sold to people training ranged)
  • Stackable (fewer trips to the bank)
  • If accidentally attacked, will explode and deal two damage to player if in blast radius.

59 File:One_Red_Salamander.pngRed Salamander 272 50,000 - 60,000 Outside Ourania Cave(use Khazard Spirit tree if possible) Net Trapping
  • Not easily sold
  • Head to the Red Salamander hunter area, located West of the spirit tree near the Battlefield of Khazard, or you can walk there by teleporting to Castle Wars Arena and walking North.
  • Go to the western spot, (west of altar), located at the edge of the road where the graveyard is, and use the trees there.
  • If you cannot afford super energy pots, or do not wish to run, use the three trees that are really close together. If you do have super energies, bring around 8, keep your weight at a minimum, wear spotted/spottier cape, and boots of lightness.
  • Any camouflage equipment is desirable, although not necessary.
  • If you can't use the spirit tree, bring a stack of cheap runes (air, body, etc.) and use the Ourania Runecrafting Altar. Keep in mind that if you do this, you'll be roughly trading 1 rune for 272 hunting xp.
63 File:Red chinchompa.PNGCarnivorous Chinchompa 265 50,000 - 100,000 Feldip Hills (Fairy ring AKS) Box trap
  • Hunting areas usually crowded

  • These are west/south-west of the crimson swifts in Feldip Hills.
  • Set the box traps around the chinchompa respawns, and try to find a relatively high population world as the Chinchompas respawn faster when more people are using that particular server.
  • You can use a bow and arrows or crossbow to shoot the Chinchompas if they run far away, to increase the Hunter xp you get per hour.
67 File:Black Salamander Hunter.PNGBlack Salamander 304
  • A useful weapon.
  • Very hard to sell.
  • Very far apart, so XP/hour may be lower than for red salamanders.
  • Very risky- inside wilderness, many people go back to chinchompas because loss in profit in death.
