Method Description, Instructions and Tips for Success
General Description
For a long time it was very hard to make money with Hunter, but that all changed when Summoning was released. Now you can make good money with the skill in many ways, such as tracking polar kebbits for their valuable fur.
Tracking is different from some other Hunter methods because how fast you do it is based on the player's skill and not the character's skill level. Higher-level players gain other advantages, especially the ability to use an arctic bear familiar's convenient teleport. It also used to be the case that higher Agility levels helped with conserving and restoring run energy, but changes to the game have made this far less important.
Even at level 10 you can do pretty well -- the main limiting factor is that at very low levels it is hard to get to the area quickly, and low Agility levels make run energy an issue. Level 30 is similar for access but energy is already not an issue. At mid levels you can use the fairy rings which makes it much easier to get to the hunting grounds; finally, at high and very high levels you can get to the hunting grounds fast using an arctic bear familiar in combination with a spirit terrorbird. Don't bother with a higher-level familiar as they are expensive and not needed here.
This method requires near constant attention; you won't be at risk if you don't, but you won't progress in your task.
Specific Method Details
Equip a noose wand, boots of lightness, spotted cape, amulet of glory and ring of duelling. Grab out of the bank your lunar staff or dramen staff, a ring of slaying, and a spirit terrorbird pouch. Use the ring of Slaying to teleport to Rellekka, then go to Zanaris using the nearby fairy ring. Dial in code "D K S". When you arrive in the snowy area run west down the mountain and then north to the hunting spot.
Summon the terrorbird and start hunting the polar kebbits, keeping the fur, dropping the raw beast meat and dropping or burying bones. Once you have 12 furs, store them in your familiar. For the last couple of catches you will have to temporarily drop one or two furs to make inventory space. When done, teleport to Castle Wars, bank and repeat. It should take a little under 30 minutes to get 39, so you'll bank about 80 per hour.
