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

For equipment, you need a noose wand, and should wear boots of lightness and a ring of duelling. You should bring with 8 4-dose energy potions so you can keep running both to get to the hunting spot and while tracking. Use a Camelot Teleport tablet and then take the long walk north, past Sinclair Mansion and Rellekka to the far north of the hunting area. Watch out for the rock crabs!

Start hunting for the polar kebbits; as you proceed you will start to get better at recognizing the patterns and your speed will improve. Take energy potions as needed, and keep the fur, dropping the raw beast meat and dropping or burying bones. 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 about 25 minutes to get a full load.

At this level count on banking about 65 furs per hour. This assumes slightly lower speed due to using energy potions and lack of familiarity with the technique.
