hunting updates

[ixfd64]

It's agreed by many players that hunting needs an update. I agree. With the highest huntable creatures at level 71, I think that we need more variety.

 

 

 

We also need more quests related to hunter. Some of these could involve catching cryptids, or creatures believed to exist (urban legends, myths), but not known yet.

 

 

 

Anyways, here are my suggestions.

 

 

 

The Hound of the Baskervilles (based on a classic tale): Help trap and kill a hound that has been terrorizing a village, and help apprehend the person behind it. (XP rewards: 5000 hunter, 3000 slayer)

 

 

 

Chupacabra Catcher (based on the urban legends): Catch chupacabras that are killing livestock throughout RuneScape. (XP rewards: 10k hunter) (item rewards: smart traps, or box traps that have higher success than normal traps, and a 30% chance of not tripping if an animal escapes)

 

 

 

The Labyrinth: help Theseus defeat the Minotaur (XP rewards: 15k hunter, 15k thieving)

 

 

 

And of course, here are extensions to the hunter skill (some later suggestions are based on the U.S. Army survival manual (FM 21-76)):

 

 

 

Box traps: Black chinchompas (level 75 to hunt, they require level 65 ranged and have a +85 ranged attack) in upper Wilderness

 

 

 

Objibwa bird snares: Same as regular snares, except more ffective. Requires 35 hunter.

 

 

 

Mist nets: Used for catching birds, they have a 100% chance of success. (requires level 40 to use, and can only be placed in avian flyways at certain places)

 

 

 

Squirrel poles: used for catching squirrels (level 55 to use)

 

 

 

Bottle traps: Can be made in certain areas of the game to catch rodents and snakes. Requies spade, logs (infinite uses), and level 65 hunter.

 

 

 

Bow trap: A bow that shoots any animals it triggers (level 80 to use). Requires any bow, any arrow types (can break), knife, logs (one use), and rope.

 

 

 

Pig spear trap: A more advanced shooting trap, it requires level 85. It also requires any bow, any spear, knife, logs (one use), and rope.

 

 

 

Gill net: Place it in a stream to catch fish. It requires level 30 to use, but the higher the hunter level, the more fish the player will catch. Successful catches will also give fishing XP.

 

 

 

Treadle spring snare: used for catching large creatures. It requires level 90 hunter, logs, knife, and rope.

 

 

 

Trip-string deadfall: used for catching a veriety of creatures, it requires 95 hunter, rope, logs (one use), and a knife.
