RuneScape Forums

My philosophy is to create a clear and concise, no-nonsense guide to Hunter.

This guide will show you how to train the marvellous skill that is Hunter, and the rewards that you will uncover as the levels progress, showing you the best ways to train to new levels. It was first on the forums over a year ago, it got lost shortly after i achieved 99 Hunter due to lack of bumping, now there is a guides forum i have decided to add it again, and i hope that you will benefit from it.

If you have any questions regarding any part of this guide, you can post them here or private message me in game, my private chat is on most of the time.

Note: The main guide starts on Page 2!

About me:

The names Vermin171, just in case you already didn't know. I've been playing Runescape for around 3 years now, i have 6 capes of achievement which are Attack, Hunter, Firemaking, Thieving, Cooking and Quest Points.

I first wrote this guide when i too was training to get 99 Hunter, i wanted to show other people how to hunt and let people know what a fun and enjoyable skill it is, as well as the rewards later on...

I have decided to remake this thread to inspire others to train Hunter. I hope you will enjoy reading it and make good use of it.

Current Goals: 80 Agility!

Tip of the week:

Have you tried the Impetuous Impulses minigame? It's great fun and you may even strike it lucky if you happen to come across a Dragon or perhaps even a Kingly impling!
