hunter is the newsest skill that was added to runescape, and now that it has been around for a fair few months, what do you think of it? when i first started doing it, i found that it was mainly there just to add to peoples total lvls as to begin with, there aren't many things you get that are of any use. feathers are about the most usefull thing at lower lvls, and even then, they can only be used for fletching (with the exception of the rainbow ones, as they are for fishing rainbow fish). now my lvl is a little higher, i can see that it can be profitable if you want it to be, catching red chinchompas is a good way to earn money through this skill, as they sell for around 600-800gp each, and it only takes a couple of hours to catch 1k if you can use 5 traps (a little longer with only 4 traps). but i have fond that doing hunter continuously for days can be very very boring as it rarely involves moving around much, and i like to go around the runescape world doing different things. i still have a small beliefe that it is a total lvl filler, but now my lvl is higher, i can see it does have it's uses. do you guys like hunter?

I like it, Of course you know me, I multitask. There are yew trees around the fishing colony. I usually take an axe , knife and chisel with me so I can set my traps, cut wood and fletch at the same time while working on hunter levels. Imps can be handy too.

They'll have to do more updates before too long otherwise there's no point to going beyond level 71. Maybe they'll make something more interesting and dangerous.

when i first did it, i went for only 1 trip and got it to 13 hunter (woot) and never trained it again for like a month. then a while later i tried it again and got it to 43 in like a day lol. i soon started to move around a lot more than before (i set up a deadfall and 2 bird snares, and smoke all of em). i feel like I could have still lvled it up a lot and it was still pretty easy. its now my second highest mem skill.
