| |
| '''Hunter''' is a [[members-only]] [[skill]] in which players catch different [[Hunter creatures|animals and creatures]] in ''[[RuneScape]]''. Although Hunter is a non-[[combat]] skill, players can still be damaged while hunting. Using hunting equipment bought from [[hunter stores]], players can hunt specific creatures obtaining rewards such as [[spotted kebbit fur]] for [[spotted cape]], [[chinchompa]]s, [[black salamander]]s, and the fabled [[dragon impling]]s.
| |
| | |
| Hunter can be trained in a variety of locations throughout the game, with most players beginning their training in the [[Feldip Hills]]. [[Birdhouses]] are often utilised at later levels, and at level 46 players can access the [[Hunter Guild]], located in the [[Avium Savannah]], along with its associated [[rumours]].
| |
| | |
| Released in November 2006, Hunter is the most recent skill added to ''Old School RuneScape''.

| | |
| Setup bird snares up until you can move onto swamp lizards (crimson swifts up until lvl 19 then switch to tropical wagtails).
| |
| | |
| Continue doing this until you can move onto net traps. Once you get to level 29 move over to swamp lizards. Have a small fishing net and a rope in your inv then click on a tree to setup a trap and wait for a swamp lizard to get caught. Every 20 levels you are able to setup 1 additional trap.
| |
| | |
| Continue doing this until you get to level 47 then move over to orange salamanders. Same concept.
| |
| | |
| Once you get to level 53 start doing chinchompas by laying box traps in the designated area below:
| |
| | |
| Keep doing this until you get to level 60 then start placing 4 traps at a time. I like to place them into a square or a straight line to increase odds of getting a catch.
| |
| | |
| Move over to red chinchompas when you get to lvl 63, placing 4 traps at a time.
| |
| | |
| Move over to black salamanders when you can at level 75 located ::champ north. Once you're level 80 you should start putting 5 traps up at a time.
| |
| | |
| Continue doing this until you can do black chinchompas at ::chins. Be sure to place 5 traps at a time and continue doing this method until you reach 99

| ==Hunting techniques==
| |
| ===Bird snaring===
| |
| {{Main|Bird snare}}
| |
| | |
| The bird snaring technique is used to catch several [[Bird (disambiguation)|birds]]. With the required Hunter level, the player may set up a bird snare and wait for a bird to approach the trap.
| |
| | |
| ===Box trapping===
| |
| {{Main|Box trap}}
| |
| | |
| The box trapping technique is used to catch [[ferret]]s and [[Chinchompa (disambiguation)|chinchompa]]s. With the required Hunter level and completion of the [[Eagles' Peak]] quest, the player may set up a box trap. When a chinchompa or ferret passes the trap, it may be caught, but only when the player is not standing on the trap.
| |
| | |
| ===Butterfly netting===
| |
| [[File:Butterfly net detail.png|right|100px]]
| |
| {{Main|Butterfly net}}
| |
| | |
| The butterfly netting technique is used to catch [[impling]]s and bats. With the required Hunter level, a [[butterfly net]] (or [[magic butterfly net]]) and the appropriate container (a [[Butterfly jar|butterfly]] or [[impling jar]]), the player may left-click on a flying creature to capture it.
| |
| | |
| ===Implings===
| |
| [[File:Dragon impling jar detail.png|right|100px]]
| |
| {{Main|Impling}}
| |
| | |
| [[Implings]] are small creatures that can be hunted on the skilling island and in the wilderness.
| |
| | |
| ===Net trapping===
| |
| {{Main|Net trap}}
| |
| | |
| The net trapping technique is used to catch [[salamander]]s. With the required Hunter level, a [[rope]] and [[small fishing net]] in the inventory, clicking on a [[young tree]] will set the trap. When the lizard or salamander passes the trap, it may be caught, but only when the player is not standing on the net.[[File:Herbiboar.png|right|100px]]
| |
| ==Miscellaneous==
| |
| ===Bait and smoking traps===
| |
| There are three ways for player to increase the catch rate of creatures: a higher skill level, using bait and smoking the trap. Many [[Hunter creatures]] have a preferred bait that players can use on a trap to increase the catch rate. To find out what the preferred bait of a creature is, visit the creature's page or the in-game Hunter guide. By smoking a trap, the player's scent will vanish, and thus make the creature less suspicious of the trap. A trap can be smoked by using a lit [[torch]] on the trap.
| |
| | |
| Adding a creature's corresponding bait to a trap will increase the catch rate by +3%, while smoking a trap with a [[Torch]] will increase the catch rate by +2%.{{CiteTwitter|author=Mod Ash|url=https://twitter.com/JagexAsh/status/793829284288851968|date=2 November 2016|archiveurl=https://archive.is/MBH14|archivedate=29 May 2020|quote=+2% for the smoke, +3% for the bait.}} Due to the low increase of the catch rate, most players believe that smoking or adding bait to traps doesn't justify the extra actions it takes.
| |
| | |
| ===Multiple traps===
| |
| Box trapping, net trapping, bird snaring and rabbit snaring can be done with multiple traps at once, with the maximum amount of traps depending on the player's Hunter level.
| |
| | |
| An extra trap may be set while hunting [[Black salamander (Hunter)|black salamander]]s or [[Black chinchompa (Hunter)|black chinchompa]]s in the [[wilderness]].
| |
| | |
| Temporary boosts make it possible to use more traps at lower levels.

| ===Hunter shops===
| |
| There are two [[Hunter stores]] in which players can buy hunter tools.

| |
| | |
| ===Hunter and camouflage clothing===
| |
| {{Main|Fancy Clothes Store}}
| |
| [[File:Custom Fur Clothing.png|right|400x400px]]
| |
| Some Hunter creatures will reward the player with the creature's fur when caught. These furs may be traded in at the [[Fancy Clothes Store]] in south-east [[Varrock]] for different types of [[hunter gear]]. In addition to the furs, the costume maker will also charge a small fee to create this gear.
| |
| *[[Polar camouflage gear]] - [[Polar kebbit fur]]
| |
| *[[Wood camouflage gear]] - [[Common kebbit fur]]
| |
| *[[Jungle camouflage gear]] - [[Feldip weasel fur]]
| |
| *[[Desert camouflage gear]] - [[Desert devil fur]]
| |
| *[[Larupia hunter gear]] - [[Larupia fur]] and [[tatty larupia fur]]
| |
| *[[Graahk hunter gear]] - [[Graahk fur]] and [[tatty graahk fur]]
| |
| *[[Kyatt hunter gear]] - [[Kyatt fur]] and [[tatty kyatt fur]]
| |
| | |
| Wearing camouflage gear does not improve the chance of successfully capturing creatures {{CiteTwitter|author=Mod Ash|url=https://twitter.com/JagexAsh/status/570364523552509952|date=24 February 2015|archiveurl=https://archive.is/ZRz6J|archivedate=29 May 2020|quote=[Does any hunter gear work?] Nope.}}, although the tops and legs reduce the player's weight when worn by 3kg and 2kg respectively.
| |
| | |
| The Larupia, Graahk, and Kyatt hunter gear sets reduce damage from Hunter creatures by 20%, 40%, and 60% respectively.
| |
| | |
| The costume maker can also make a few other items. [[Spotted cape|Spotted]] and [[spottier cape]]s reduce the player's weight when worn, and the [[gloves of silence]] made from dark kebbit furs make pickpocketing easier.
| |
| | |
| ==Hunter pets==
| |
| ===Baby chinchompa===
| |
| [[File:Baby Chinchompa (grey).png|right|90px]]
| |
| {{Main|Baby chinchompa}}
| |
| The [[baby chinchompa]] is a skilling [[pet]] that can be obtained while catching any kind of [[Chinchompa (disambiguation)|chinchompa]]. The chances of getting it are dependent on the player's Hunter level and the type of chinchompa being hunted.
| |
| | |
| ===Herbi: make it say herbi is herblore pet on roat and redirect to herblore===
| |
| [[File:Herbi (follower).png|right|85px]]
| |
| ===Quetzin===
| |
| [[File:Quetzin (follower).png|right|width=85x85]]
| |
| {{Main|Quetzin}}
| |
| [[Quetzin]] is a [[pet]] that can be obtained as a [[Hunters' loot sack (disambiguation)|potential reward]] from completing [[Hunters' Rumours]] in the [[Hunter Guild]]. The pet can be obtained from any tier of rumours.
