Introduction

Are you ready to embark on an exciting journey as a hunter in Old School RuneScape? Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, this comprehensive guide will take you step-by-step from level 1 to 99 in the Hunter skill. Grab your gear and let's get started!

Level 1-9: Varrock Museum

To kickstart your hunter training, head to the Varrock Museum located northeast of the Varrock Palace. Speak to the curator and ask about displaying statues. You'll be guided through a quiz where you need to answer questions correctly. By completing this quiz, you'll receive 1,000 experience points (XP) in either Hunter or Slayer.

Level 9-19: Bird Snares

Once you've reached level 9, it's time to start trapping birds using bird snares. To do this, you'll need to acquire some bird snares and head to the Feldip Hills area. There, you can find tropical wagtails, which are excellent creatures to trap at this level.

Requirements:

• 20 Feathers (per trap)
• Bird snares (recommended: around 20)

XP Rates per Hour:

• At this stage, expect around 10,000 XP per hour.

Level 19-29: Tracking & Falconry

As you progress to level 19, tracking kebbits becomes your next objective. Head to the Piscatoris Hunter Area and set up your box traps to catch spotted kebbits. Collect their fur, as it will be useful later on.

Requirements:

• Box traps (recommended: around 20)

XP Rates per Hour:

• At this stage, expect around 15,000 XP per hour.

Once you reach level 43 Hunter, consider switching to falconry. Travel to the Piscatoris Falconry and capture spotted kebbits using your gyr falcon. This method provides faster experience rates than regular kebbit trapping.

Requirements:

• Gyr falcon (obtained in the falconer's glove)

XP Rates per Hour:

• At this stage, expect around 30,000 XP per hour.

Level 29-63: Butterfly Nets & Jars

From level 29 onwards, butterfly catching becomes a viable training option. Head to the Puro-Puro area by using a butterfly net and butterfly jar to catch implings. As you progress, you can move on to higher-level implings for increased XP gains.

Requirements:

• Butterfly net
• Butterfly jar

XP Rates per Hour:

• Expect around 25,000 to 40,000 XP per hour during this stage.

Level 63-73: Red Chinchompas

At level 63, it's time to venture into the Wilderness to catch red chinchompas. These creatures are located in the western part of the Wilderness Volcano. Be cautious as other players can attack you in this dangerous area.

Requirements:

• Box traps (recommended: around 20)
• Rope (per trap)

XP Rates per Hour:

• Expect around 60,000 XP per hour at this stage.

Level 73-99: Black Chinchompas

As you approach the final stretch, head deeper into the Wilderness to catch black chinchompas. They can be found east of the Lava Maze. Similar to the red chinchompas, be prepared to encounter player killers in this area.

Requirements:

• Box traps (recommended: around 20)
• Rope (per trap)

XP Rates per Hour:

• Expect around 80,000 to 100,000 XP per hour during this stage.
