Hunter in Old School RuneScape

Words on this page

Bird house: a Fossil Island box you fill and come back to. Chinchompa: an animal you sell or throw. Black ones live in the Wilderness.

Unlock

You can start with bird traps. Bird houses want Fossil Island. Red chinchompas want 63 Hunter. Black chinchompas are in the Wilderness.

Inventory

Wear camouflage if you have it. In the Wilderness, wear gear you can lose. Bring only what this method uses. Leave the spare gear in the bank.

Money fork

Bird houses pay nests. Chinchompas pay if you keep the world. Check the wiki for the price.

Iron fork

If you cannot buy the supplies, gather them yourself. Stay on the earlier step until you have them.

Kit

Wear camouflage if you have it. In the Wilderness, wear gear you can lose.

Mistakes

Do not hunt black chinchompas with a cash stack. Do not forget the bird house clock.

Stop

Stop when you have the level you came for. A quest, a prayer, or a weapon. Level 99 is a cape. You do not need it to use the skill.
