Red chins are never the fastest exp at any level.

 

Common jadinkos will be as close to max speed for your level as you can get. Combine that with how invaluable juju potions are there is literally no reason to train hunter outside of Herblore Habitat unless you value agility exp in an obsenely high fashion (barehanded butterflies). Follow the training methods outlined in the HH guide in the AoW. Start growing blue flowers and harvesting them now so you'll have a stockpile for paying the farmer to watch your ugene seeds you'll eventually be planting.

At 71, you wouldn't go there (except maybe with an artic bear) because the catch rate absolutely 100% sucks.

I was there at 70 and again at 72, at both times - I found that catching black salamanders was significantly better.

And you would have found that red sallys would have been better still, black salamanders are a terrible way to train from every angle: slower exp/hr than at least 5 other methods, no benefit gained from catching them in the long term, more click intensive than 2 other faster methods and tied for the other 3 which have significantly better exp for the effort involved, and to boot they're in the wilderness. If you have brawlers then I might be able to see it, but grenwall/pawya hunting is about the same exp/hr with amazing profit (in comparison) in that case.

 

Even with a larupia (or one of the other 2 hunter boosting familiars you unlock at the same sum lvl) they're worth going to at 70. Hell even granted the catch rate "sucks" at his level its worth doing for herb seeds he'll gather in total. I'm 99 hunter and its a drag to have to take care of spending hours getting wasted exp in the skill for the sake of getting the jujus I want. If he doesn't level there now he'll regret it later. Not to mention the significant amount of essentially free herblore exp that comes with making all the juju's from seeds gathered to 99 hunter (I'll calc approx. how much herb exp he'd get later, im sleepy from my all night paper...)

 

TLDR: don't follow litterbugs advice, HH is the only place you should be training.

You should keep them all really, they tack on another 1 k farming experience to your herb run and its basically free herblore experience. Not all of the juju's are incredibly useful *looks at cooking juju potion* but at the least you get experience.

 

The important seeds to get excited about are

 

Ugene, used in Farming Juju's

 

Samaden, used in Mining Juju's, and the God's favor potions which grant a 10% bonus to exp earned in HH while the dose is in effect. Zamorak Juju's are used to achieve the fastest hunter experience in game.

 

Erzille, used in making the hunter potions you need to attract Draconic Jadinkos, which will be your fastest source of exp in game.

 

And to a lesser extend Argway, used to make Scentless Juju's. These are useful to some degree in training at HH but they really have a niche use in grenwall hunting, where having smoked traps helps your capture rate significantly but is too inconvenient to do via normal means due to the already very click intensive nature of hunting them (especially with no bonecrusher).

 

The others I personally would make for the free herblore exp and either save (I'm not pressed for bank space at all) or drop.

Trolling by giving good advice since April 2011.
