Hunter creatures

[Jeffery]

Will these new hunter monsters, Really help That much in farming Becuase i'm yet to see a use for them. Are they just another unused item by Jagex or is it going to be overpowering to the farming skill

 

 

 

And for the new chin like ones that help in range, Flop or better than red chinchompas? How will it effect range?

 

 

 

. Also Stackable or unstackable?

 

 

 

 

 

Will are summoning monsters need to catch them like the Cats catch rats Who knows?

[caldius]

there wernt many details so its all speculations really.

 

I am hoping that the range one wont be a new weapon tho, i am hoping it can be turned into a new ammy or something

[Carcher]

I'm excited about it, though I bet I won't be able to catch them. Though I can't see how these creatures can help range and certainly farming? For range I don't hope for a new weapon and farming I can only think of less disease, less time to plant or greater crops I don't really know what else.

Range: It's really not that unbelievable of a concept: Chinchompas already do it.

 

 

 

Farming: Provides a new type of fertilizer? Casts a spell on the plants to give more exp per harvest/more harvest per seed?

That sounds like a sweet idea, take the creatures heart and run a string through it so you can wear it. Unfortunately I think it'll probobly be a new weapon...might be jagex releasing a better weapon with slower exp to try to get red chinchompas less crowded.

New hunter monsters? If ur talking about the ones from summoning, THERE ARENT ANY because summoning is not to hunter as smithing is to mining.

[Carcher]

No there are going to be two new Hunter creatures. Its in the Behind the Scenes. Here:

 

Hunter will get a look in too! Budding trappers will find many treats within the Summoning skill itself, but they will also find an extension to their skill in Isafdar, with the introduction of the grenwall and pawya creatures. These are two high-level Hunter creatures that give a boost to Ranged and Farming - if you can catch them, of course.

 

 

 

Oh and it also seems that Hunter will effect Summoning. I don't think like mining is to smithing, but some effects on it.

[Matok]

or is it pure speculations...

 

[EDIT] ok,got my answer

[Carcher]

Its in my post they say one of the new Hunter creatures are going to effect Farming. For proof see the Behind the Scenes: Janurary.

"That's when ideas like the beasts of burden came in. It was at this point that the skill name changed to Animal Lore," says Mod Mark. The core idea being that these summoned animals would do more than just fight for you. "We were also thinking Animal Lore would be to Hunter, what Smithing is to Mining," he continues - you'd either catch and train up animals or call them out of the wild to aid you. Mod Bennett had since moved to another of our development teams, so Mod Wilson was given the task of writing a new design brief from scratch, taking this more follower-based approach

 

 

 

from the first development diary, when they were discussing the name changes. also, summoning development was begun at more or less the same time as hunter was finished (also in the development diary)

[kratmus]

i think they will use some of the hunter creatures, so you can catch them and then summon again
