Hunter - Extra Features

Present in the Yanille Hunter store is Leon. Leon is an innovator, and famed (or so he thinks) inventor of the wind-powered mousetrap. This gentleman will, for the princely sum of 1,300 gp, sell you his Hunters' crossbow - made from the bones of several small animals. The crossbow fires faster than other crossbows, and can be loaded with bolts made with kebbit spikes, gleaned from the razorback and prickly kebbits.

The kebbit bolts cannot be enchanted or poisoned.

Those hunters who have reached certain stages in As a First Resort... will learn the cunning methods the ogresses of Oo'glog have developed for hunting the odd creatures around their home.

The key to hunting these creatures (diseased kebbits, wimpy birds and platypodes) is the use of correct herbs located outside the town. Some of these herbs will attract one creature while making another enraged. To attract an ogre Hunter creature, you must smoulder these herbs (by using a tinderbox on them); you can use the same herbs as bait in traps, and the diseased kebbit can also be baited with raw meat placed in the deadfall.

Creature	Hunter Level Required	Trap		Herb	Hunter Experience Gained
Wimpy bird	39	Bird snare		Tansymum	167
Diseased kebbit	44	Deadfall		Fever grass	225
Platypus	48	Box trap		Lavender	205

Note: Using the wrong herbs may result in the creatures attacking you! - Wimpy birds will attack if you smoulder lavender. - Diseased kebbits will give you a nasty bite (and infect you with a disease) if you smoulder tansymum. - Platypodes will use their viciously barbed rear feet to poison you if you smoulder fever grass near them.

Diseased kebbits' fur can be sewn into a Davy Kebbit hat if you take one to Frawd, the ogress who runs the Oo'glog general store. Platypodes can be kept as pets (with a Summoning level of 10), which you may then choose to dismiss (using the pet interface) into the reeds at the beach in the east of Oo'glog to receive a reward.



Using your Hunter and Summoning skills, you can catch a number of baby animals to raise as pets. Platypodes can be caught on the beach south of Oo'glog, as noted above. You can catch baby geckos, squirrels, raccoons and monkeys in the following locations:

Geckos		Monkeys
Karamja		Karamja
Raccoons		Squirrels
Kingdoms of Misthalin & Asgarnia		Kingdoms of Misthalin & Asgarnia

Squirrels and raccoons can also be trapped in the area south of Seers' Village and north of the Sorcerer's Tower.

Pet	Required Levels	Trapping Method	Bait	Hunter Experience Gained
Baby gecko	27 10	Box trap	None	100
Baby squirrel	29 60	Net trap	Nuts	152
Baby raccoon	27 80	Box trap	None	100
Baby monkey	27 95	Box trap	Banana	100
Baby platypus	48 10	Box trap	See 'Ogre Hunting Methods' above	205

Note: that you can only have one of each type of pet at any one time.



Using the Summoning skill, you'll find that there are a few familiars that might be useful for training your Hunter. Of particular note is the arctic bear, who counts as two pieces of arctic camouflage.


It is possible to train all of your skills while dungeoneering, and Hunter is no exception. The wandering and docile bovimastyx can be trapped to gain a large number of hides for crafting into ranged equipment. You can also gain Hunter experience by completing hunter skill doors.
