What exactly are the benefits of training hunter skill? I am lvl 70 combat and haven't come across it yet at all.

That and DG skill doors/puzzles, and grenwalls are a decent source of money.

DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers rings

QBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow parts

CR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size.
...
It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.

I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

I am 113 combat and my hunter level is 7 (i believe its due to a quest reward too)

 

The skill itself, i find, is incredibly tedious and the rewards are unjust considering the time taken to get into it.

 

However, it is, as stated above, needed for some high level quests.

 

I find with skills, ultumately, their use comes down to the enjoyment you find in pursuing that skill. I hate hunter, have never trained it, and find no use for it whatsoever as i mainly slay.

 

If you find the skill boring, yet are grinding it for a quest, with rewards you'll never use and no intention of getting a quest cape, dont train it.

Its worth getting up for

 

Quests

Grenwalls

Herblore Habitat

 

Notable quests you'll need it up for are defender of varrock for access to AZ's and While Guthix Sleeps (more accurately its needed for the prereq quests to do WGS).

 

Grenwalls are over a mil an hour cash (with perfect set up and skills you can reach over 1.5 m/hr).

 

Herblore habitat provides invaluable juju potions, namely scentless potions for grenwalls, zamorak potions for increased hunter exp/hr, mining for the best way of mining in game atm, and perhaps most importantly farming. For the farming potions each seed gained from hunting them adds effectively 3.5 mil more worth of herbs over the course of your runs with all potions made from that one herb.

They drop Grenwall spikes which are used in Extreme Ranging Potions.

Really? Cause as I recall it was you who was the one cussing me at base. Also, re-read what you just said: one 15 second delay (which is an exaggeration to begin with) ruins floor times? You are beyond ridiculous.

They require 77(?) Hunter? But you wont see profits like what I outlined until 95+. But leveling hunter at herblore habitat until then will get you a huge number of scentless potions and farming juju's.

You need 77 Hunter to catch them, and 69 Summoning to get Pawya as bait.

You need 77 Hunter to catch them, and 69 Summoning to get Pawya as bait to use a fruitbat for papayas to catch pawyas for bait in your grenwall traps.

Fixed

They are many benefits to Hunter, one of the biggest one is the money, from a low level you can be making more than most of the other skills. And when you get to a higher level you can hunt red chins, and catch implings in puro-puro. Also you cant forget 1m+ an hour grenwalls. Complicated to hunt at first, but once you get the hang of it it's easy, and fast money.
