Hunter
Hunter is a skill in which players catch different animals and creatures in Zeah. Although Hunter is a non-combat skill, players can still be damaged while hunting. Using hunting equipment bought from hunter stores, players can hunt specific creatures obtaining rewards such as spotted kebbit fur for spotted cape, chinchompas, and the fabled Dragon and Kingly implings.
We highly advise getting Silver Huntsman relic before beginning to train Hunter, as it increases the number of traps you can place by one and your traps no longer collapse if a catch is failed.
General information and tips
Levelling up Hunter allows players to lay more traps at once. Training Hunter within the Wilderness allows players to deploy an extra trap.
Level | Concurrent traps | Wilderness |
---|---|---|

20 | 2 | 3 |
40 | 3 | 4 |
60 | 4 | 5 |
80 | 5 | 6 |
Required items
- Bird snares if opting to catch birds for levels 1-43.
- Box trap for chinchompas and grenwalls, starting at level 63.
Suggested items
- Bird houses allow for passive Hunter training. These are not necessary in progressing the skill, but definitely recommended. More on this below.
Birdhouses
Birdhouses are a way to passively train Hunter. All you have to do is place the Birdhouse, put a few seeds inside, then wait 30 minutes for the Birds to trap. From level 5 onwards you should consistently be doing Birdhouses.
Types of Birdhouses
Catching Birds
Begin with a similar inventory to the sample image using the highest level logs you can.
- Redwood logs can be purchased from players or cut down from Redwood Trees requiring 90+.
- Clockworks can be purchased by Ayleth Beaststalker in the Ironman hub @ ;;ironman in-game.
- Both herb seeds or hop seeds can be used to bait the birds into the birdhouses. These can also be purchased in the Ironman hub @ ;;ironman in-game but this time speak to Head Farmer Jones.
Next, create your birdhouses by using the clockworks on the logs.

After creating your birdhouses, utilize the Teleport Nexus and search "House on the Hill".
After teleporting to the House on the Hill, run north to the Magic Mushtree. After clicking on it, notice the 4 options. Verdant Valley, Sticky Swamp, and Mushroom Meadow are the 3 locations we will be placing the 4 birdhouses. First, select Verdant Valley.
In Verdant Valley, there are two possible traps that you can place highlighted with red boxes on the image below. With the correct items in inventory, all you have to do is click the tile, then click the birdhouse.
Training Hunter
Levels 1 - 43: Crimson Swifts
Crimson Swifts are located east of the Feldip Hunter Area by the shore. Utilize the Teleport Nexus, search 'Feldip Hunter Area', and run far east to the shore. You need a Bird snare to catch them.
Levels 43 – 63: Falconry
Catching spotted kebbits (and dark kebbits at level 57) using the Falconry technique offers the fastest experience from level 43 to 63. They are located in the Piscatoris Falconry area. While this provides higher experience rates than catching lizards, it is also more click-intensive. For more information on how Falconry works click HERE.
Levels 63 - 77: Red chinchompas
Hunting carnivorous chinchompas offers relatively fast Hunter experience for players who do not wish to hunt black chinchompas in the Wilderness from 73 to 77. The Gwenith Hunter area is the best location to hunt red chinchompas. Utilize the Teleport Nexus, search 'Gwenith Hunter Area', and run a few tiles east.
Levels 77 - 99: Grenwalls
Catching Grenwalls requiring a Hunter level of 77 to catch and offer the fastest experience. You will need box traps in order to catch them. The best location to hunt these at is the Platinum+ Donator Zone. However, for those without the donator rank utilize the Teleport Nexus, search "Isafdar Hunter Area", and begin trapping.
Implings
Implings can be caught inside puro-puro. They are mostly known not as an effective training method, but for the variety of loot they reward upon catch. See the implings article for more details regarding rewards.
