1-99 Hunter Skilling Guide

[jomoOSRS]

Starting out in Hunter, it's essential to get familiar with the basics and various methods for efficiently gaining experience. At level 1, you should begin by catching Crimson Swifts in the Feldip Hunter area, south of Yanille. Use bird snares to trap these birds, which provide a good amount of experience for the early levels. Make sure to bring plenty of snares, as they can break frequently. This method will quickly get you from level 1 to 9, allowing you to progress to the next tier of creatures.

From levels 9 to 19, you should transition to catching Copper Longtails in the same area. Continue using bird snares and move to different spots if necessary to find an abundance of birds. This method will help you gain steady experience and prepare you for more challenging catches. At this stage, completing the quest "The Ascent of Arceuus" is beneficial, as it grants experience and access to new hunting areas.

Once you reach level 19, switch to catching Tropical Wagtails in the Jungle Hunting Area, which can be found south of Feldip Hills. Continue using bird snares, and you’ll notice a significant increase in experience per catch. Make sure to set up multiple snares to maximize your experience per hour. Additionally, consider completing the "Eagle's Peak" quest around this time, as it unlocks box traps, which are essential for future training.

At level 29, you can start catching Swamp Lizards using net traps in the Canifis Hunter area. This method provides a good balance of experience and is relatively straightforward. Bring a few nets and ropes, and set up traps near the swamp lizard spawns. Swamp Lizards can be caught until level 43, providing consistent experience. Using the bonecrusher and prayer gear to maintain your prayer points can be beneficial here if you choose to bury bones dropped by the creatures you hunt.

Reaching level 43 allows you to catch Spotted Kebbits in the Piscatoris Hunter area. Use deadfall traps to catch these kebbits, which offer better experience rates. Make sure to bring logs and a knife to set up the traps. Additionally, consider catching Orange Salamanders in the desert using net traps as an alternative method for similar experience rates. These methods will efficiently carry you through to level 53.

From level 53 to 63, you should focus on catching Chinchompas in the Piscatoris Hunter area. Grey Chinchompas are a popular choice due to their excellent experience rates and market value. Use box traps to catch them, and set up multiple traps in areas with high chinchompa density. This method is highly effective and can be profitable as well. Completing the "Monkey Madness II" quest around this time unlocks the ability to catch maniacal monkeys, which can provide substantial experience later on.

At level 63, red chinchompas become available in the Feldip Hills. This is one of the most efficient methods for gaining Hunter experience and making a significant profit. Use box traps to catch red chinchompas, and set up traps in areas with high density. Ensure you have plenty of box traps and replace broken ones immediately to maintain maximum efficiency. This method can be used up to level 80 and beyond, providing excellent experience and profit.

Reaching level 80 opens up the ability to catch Herbiboars on Fossil Island. This method not only provides great experience but also yields valuable herbs, fossils, and other resources. To catch Herbiboars, you’ll need to track their footprints and use your hunter skills to uncover them. This method is less AFK but offers some of the best experience rates in the game. Additionally, completing the "Bone Voyage" quest is necessary to access Fossil Island.

From level 80 to 99, catching Red Chinchompas remains an effective method if you prefer a more AFK approach with consistent profit. Alternatively, you can continue catching Herbiboars for excellent experience and valuable drops. Another viable option at level 77 is to hunt Maniacal Monkeys on Ape Atoll, unlocked through "Monkey Madness II." This method provides very high experience rates and can be extremely efficient with the right setup.

Reaching level 99 Hunter is a significant achievement that grants access to the Hunter Skillcape, which provides various benefits such as an increased chance of successfully catching creatures. The journey to 99 involves a balanced approach of utilizing the best hunting methods available, maximizing your equipment, and staying consistent with your training routines. By carefully managing your traps, using the best tools and methods, and taking advantage of quests and areas that boost your experience rates, you can achieve mastery in Hunter efficiently and enjoyably.
