Yaks live just outside the gates of Neitiznot, in a pen not far from the Neitiznot docks, where you can go to and from Rellekka by talking to Maria Gunnars. Players are NOT required to complete the entire quest Fremennik Isles to go to this island. Players are only required to talk to King Gjuki Sorvott IV, and they gain access to Neitiznot. Due to having high Hitpoints but a low combat level, this means that they are very good for combat training. In terms of low level monsters with high hitpoints, Yaks are comparable to other training monsters such as the Rock Crabs and Experiments. The 100 percent yak-hide and yak hair drops represent a potential of 57 Crafting experience. A bank, spinning wheel, and tanner are nearby. This all results in many people training there, however, yaks do respawn very quickly.
Note that when the Raw yak meat is cooked, it turns into regular meat.
When the isle of Neitiznot was originally released, yaks would always attack a player that had just killed a yak. This was changed shortly after to prevent players training away from their computers.
[edit] Trivia
- If players use any item on a yak, a message will appear saying "The cow doesn't want that."
- On RuneScape, Yaks say "Moo". In German worlds, they say "Muh". In French Worlds, they say "Meuh".
- Yaks drop Yak Hair, which can be used to make ropes. In Draynor Village, Ned gives you a rope if you hand him a ball of wool. Ned wasn't making the ropes, he was simply trading them for the balls of wool.
- Yaks are seemingly immune to poison.
- Yaks are like the members' version of cows, which also say "Moo" and have 100% drops: cowhide, raw beef, and bones.
- Some people use yaks for training ranged.
- While using the instant re-spawn bug after release, it was possible to "pull" the monster outside of its natural spawn, upstairs or almost to the neighbor isle.
