Hunter Skill!

[PhelimReagh]

...Moreover, it seems that many of the newer skills (or new options in old skills) are more difficult for money-buy-exp methods (though con is money-buy-exp indeed).

 

 

 

This is not correct. Although you do point to construction as an exception, Farming is a money-buy-exp skill as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You buy super-expensive tree seeds, and leave it alone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Same goes for herblore. You can go around buying herbs, seconds and vials, getting 100K+ xp/hour if your level is high enough.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can't level mining any faster with more money. You can't level fishing any faster with more money. You can't level woodcutting any faster with more money.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More and more of Jagex's newest releases are "pay-to-level faster". Why anyone thinks Hunting will be different is beyond me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Construction was different only in that it was an actual cash-eater (billions of gp leaving the game permanently). The only real question is whether Construction was a harbinger of cash-eating yet pretty cool and complicated skills, or if the cash-eating was a one time aberration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In my mind there is no doubt you will be able to buy your way to fast Hunting levels.

From the new Tzhaar guide.

 

 

 

TzHaar-Xil (Level 133)

 

 

 

Even men of stone must eat, and the job of hunting their food falls to the TzHaar-Xil. They are excellent fighters, and beyond the talents of most adventurers. They are the darkest in colouring, which no doubt aids them in hunting their prey. The TzHaar enjoying preying on large mammals and rodents that, like the TzHaar, are strong enough to burrow through the hard volcanic rock.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TzHaar-Xil can be found throughout the city.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Large mammals and rodents that burrow through the hard volcanic rock!!! Could Tzhaar finally be opened? Or at least another part of it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This sounds like it'll DEFFINIATLY be a new hunting area! :D

 

 

 

Hmm, Ill be looking forward to hunting in a matter of proving my theory about the Tzhaar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TzHaar hunting ground should be cool, I think this will be a higher level area if it comes out.

Sorry guys but the hunting skill isn't gonna work :(

all this talk about " being ready " for the release of hunting..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

now get real..

 

 

 

how could you seriosly be ready for something you have NO idea about..

 

 

 

just wait untell the skill is released to buy items..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dont get all excited and waste a bunch of cash , just for hunting to turn out tottaly oposite of what you had in mind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

aswell , my 1st thought was " its just a knock off of slayer "

 

 

 

but..i wont judge untell it is released.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HAPPY HUNTING \

[happy123]

I dont think its gonna be too0 combat related...

 

 

 

As a Nzer ive been out hunting in the bush etc so i reckon it'l include something like stalking, baiting traps, Using dogs to catch pigs and boars :P , and stuff like that. I'm really looking forward to this :thumbsup: :mrgreen:

Well I'm getting ready by doing some toe touches, work out my hammies, do some push ups.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My character's been getting too fat from sitting around his house all day, eating freshly stolen cake from Ardougne (Hasn't seen the cook in about a week....)

[archer11]

i actully saw a thread on the official forums way back a little before construction came out, and it was labeled Hunting. What i think jagex is doing is goin to have this aid your home in like taxidermy, or maybe animals to roam your house (dont go on my posh furniture)

[spikerkid]

When hunter comes out you guys better watch out for _ick cheney :ohnoes: :wink: :XD:

[ilya]

i heard somebody say that they poested hunting icon in this topic but i scrolled down previous 10 pages and didn't find it... where is it?

[Omali]

Every animal has something you need to look out for.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Raccoons: Rabies

 

 

 

Squirrels: tree branches falling

 

 

 

Quail: Friendly fire

[runescapeloser22]

i doubt the random event camo clothing would help at all, unless jagex had them in shops, because that would be really unfair since u get the from a random event, and ppl like me have never had that event, so either its not gonna do anything, or they're gonna be made tradeable again or sold in a shop (most likely not gonna do anything tho)

[Umega]

Just found something in KB about Hunting :shock:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Armour you can store:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hunter camouflage gear :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I remember seeing Fur-trimmed range armour in there to, it looked like as if it was a Treasure trail reward... :-k

[DarkDude]

The camo gear which you can store is most likely different "outfits" depending on what you're hunting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From the Chaos Elemental letter last month:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dress up big like a flappy bird, happy bird

 

 

 

Hunter strong when the ferrets herd, hereticÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s word

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basicly, we have to dress up as a bird to try and "fit in" and get their guard down before we catch them. This will be one of the many different methods invovled in hunting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

95% sure anyway, and the Camo stuff that was mentioned to be stored was a set of this, so in this case it'd be a bird outfit (Most probably south the Feldip hills)

[eyehawk78]

I think from that camouflage evidence from the knowledge base that we will have a "Visibility" percentage (kind of like on splinter cell) and the higher this is the more likely you are to be seen and be unable to catch the hunted prey.

[trunksrs]

Fur trimmed range armor was just the (t)

[im1knight]

hmm...wish its not a long waiting skill....however..looking forward to it :!: lol i love new skills... :3>

[Stephenswat]

"you hammer the steel bar into some trap-teeth"

 

 

 

"you hammer the iron bar into 5 trap springs"

 

 

 

"you atatch the teeth and the spring to make a bear trap"

 

 

 

"congratulations! you just advanced a smithing level!"

 

 

 

"you take some hunny from the bee-hives"

 

 

 

"you set up the bear trap and put some hunny in it"

 

 

 

"you jump in in a tree and wait"

 

 

 

"a bear got stuck in ur trap!"

 

 

 

"congratulaions! you have just advanced a hunting level!"

 

 

 

"you kill the bear :cry: "

 

 

 

"you search the bear and find some 'extra hard bear fur!"

 

 

 

"you go to your 'player-owned-house' and clean the fur"

 

 

 

"you use your threat on the fur to make a warm bear hat"

 

 

 

"congatulaitons! u just advanced a crafting level"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hope itl be like this :ohnoes:

[Redsnorlax]

Eh yea I guess Hunting will distract lots of people and affect prices like construction did.

[angel_ryan5]

i wish the hunter skill was out now i wish they made new skills every week

[dotdotdot]

i wish the hunter skill was out now i wish they made new skills every week

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You know, we're alrwady going to have no space on skill page with Hunter as it is..

That's.... the stupidest idea EVER

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, we can change the "Total Lvl ####" at the bottom. To maybe "TL####" So we can have another icon.

[Kezza_B]

Cant wait for it :D Im look forward for it but i hope its not a money drainer like construction :|

[headshot007111]

Honestly i reckon hunter will be stupid, to me it seems like a non combat verison of slayer, made for skillers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And btw angel ryan5, get ur own avatar, dont steal mine plz.

[hell00omagz]

Im trying to figure out how hunting will be fun..and non combat...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it seems like it'll be like farming..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

set ur traps..go away for awhile..hire a trapper to watch ur traps...check them later

 

 

 

collect fur whateve...and...

It's amazing how you have such a clear negative picture before the skill is even released. Actually, I hope it's like that just so everyone without patience (i.e. the majority of players) will complain more.
