Hunter guide (Updated 2020 September)

Recommended Posts

Getting started

Always a good idea to have stamina potions and full graceful but not required
All required traps and tools can be bought from Jackie north of home

Leveling

Due to the experience rates from birds being so low it's highly recommended to skip birds entirely by using random event lamps to level 5/29.

Birds/lamp (1-5/29)
Crimson birds 1-19, Green birds 19-27
Require: 2 bird snares

Fairy ring: AKS or Home portal -> Skilling teleports -> Feldip Hills

Birdhouses (Level 5-99)
This is technically the most efficient way to obtain 99 but this requires going on birdhouse runs multiple times a day for weeks and leveling it alone side.
Guide from this method can be found here.

 

Swamp lizards (Level 29-47)
Require: 3 small nets and ropes
Remember you can lay 3 traps at level 40

Home portal -> Cities -> Canifis

Orange Salamanders (Level 47-59)
Require: 3 small nets and ropes and as many water skins as you can carry

Fairy ring: DLQ

Red Salamanders (Level 59-63/67)
Require: 4 small nets and ropes
Remember you can lay 4 traps at level 60

Spirit Tree:  Tree Gnome Village -> follow Elkoy

Option 1: Salamanders for faster experience 

Black Salamanders (Level 67-99)
Require: 6 small nets and ropes
You can lay 5 traps and 6 at level 80 because it's wilderness

Use burning amulet, obelisks or run from Edgeville

Option 2: Chinchompas slower but makes money

Red Chins (Level 63-73)
Require: 4 box traps

Home portal -> Skilling ->Feldip Hills

Black Chins (Level 73-99)
Require: 6 box traps
Remember you can lay 5 traps and 6 at level 80 because it's wilderness

Use burning amulet, Revenant teleport or obelisk

Experience rates:
These experience rates were found at level 99 hunter using the larger expected number of traps at the given level range.

Very nice guide, but until hunter is fixed black salamanders aren't a viable option. You can only use 2 of the 5 trees there. But once it is fixed, very very viable option to get 99 quickly.

Read the warning, if nobody has screwed it up since server restart all the traps will work.

I'm at 70ish now. Will be doing chins till 99.

 

Can't do orange salamanders because I'm a skiller and there's a few revenants that hit 5's and 6's

I'm new to this server and kind of confused. Can you not train it any way besides lamping at level 1? Or are you just saying to skip catching birds? If that's the case, you should still add in 1-29 anyway. Maybe just have one of those drop down boxes for people that might need it. 

 

Other than that, this is a quality guide.
