The hunter skill is a very interesting skill in RuneScape
The hunter skill is a very interesting skill in RuneScape, giving you the ability to track, set traps, and catch all sorts of creatures that you would otherwise be unable to interact with. It takes patience though, and you'll need to start small and work your way up to the tougher creatures - but it's worth it!
the basics for hunting
To start off the Hunter Skill, go to either Nardah or Yanille, and head towards the hunter shop. Aleck runs the shop in Yanille where you will also find Leon who will sell you a Hunters' Crossbow for 1,300gp. To make the Bolts for the Crossbow you will need Kebbit Bolts made from Kebbit Spikes and Long Kebbit Spikes.RS 3 Gold The Hunters' Crossbow requires 50+ Ranging to wield and gives a range bonus of +55.
The Hunters' Crossbow also fires faster then normal crossbows, but in turn cannot hold enchanted bolts or spikes. To make 6 Kebbit Bolts you need to give Leon 1 Kebbit Spike and 20gp, or 1 Long Spike and 40gp for 6 Long Kebbit Bolts. At 32 Fletching you can fletch Kebbit Bolts by using a Chisel on Kebbit Spikes, at 42 Fletching you can fletch Long Tipped Kebbit Bolts by using a Chisel on Long Spikes.
Advisory to begin hunting is to go to Yanille first because it's closest to the first creatures you can hunt.
Factors in Tracking
There are 4 primary factors in how well you hunt:
Bait - Certain creatures are attracted to certain bait more than others.
Smell - When you reach level 39 Hunting, you can smoke the trap in order to improve your chances of capture.
Appearance - If you are wearing clothing made out of the fur and skins of creatures in that region the more likely they are to fall into your trap, mainly because the creatures have a tendency to be wary around people.
Distance - It's recommended that you stay at least 5 spaces away to improve your capture.
Hunter Areas
There are 4 main Hunter Areas: Woodland, Jungle, Snow, and Desert.
Hunter Clothing
You can use your fur and some gp to have it turned into camouflage clothing. Go to the Fancy Dress Shop in East Varrock, and ask if he can make your furs into clothing.
Hope these tips can do help u when u are hunting !
