Hunter is the ability to hunt various creatures in different areas, each with its unique environment. In each area you will encounter multiple creatures requiring a different hunting method to catch them. There are five different methods of hunting: Tracking, Box trapping, Butterfly netting, Bird snaring and Rabbit snaring. Each hunting method requires different tools or equipment, you can buy it from the Hunting expert. Players can drink Hunter potions to buff their hunter level, enabling them to catch more creatures temporarily.

Hunting can be done by setting up a trap in the vicinity of a hunter creature, and when a creature passes through the trap it will be caught. You can then check your trap to gain experience, obtain your loot and your trap. The higher the difference between the required Hunter level and your own Hunter level, the bigger your chance on successfully catching a creature will be.

Hunter does not require active membership to start but some creatures can only be hunted by members, or are located in member areas.

You can use the Hunter skill to gain special items, new Range weapons and unique Pets.

Areas

There are 6 different environments, each with its unique locations and creatures to hunt.

Hunter supplies

To start hunting in these different areas you first need some equipment. You can buy these from the Hunting expert. He can be found north of the Moss giants, between Barbarian village and the Grand exchange. You can also wear different hunter camo sets, which might help you in catching your prey more easily. Read more about them here.

The amount of traps you can set at the same time increases with your Hunter level. Having more traps at the same time will enable you to catch multiple creatures at once.

Tracking

Tracking works by inspecting a burrow, from there you will see a track left by a creature. Follow the tracks searching any bushes, snow drifts or other cover until you reach the end of the trail. Then, with a Noose wand equipped, select the attack option on the cover object to catch your prey. You will know you reached the final hiding place when your game chat says there is something hiding in it. You can exchange the furs you loot for Camo sets.
