Hunter is a skill which allows players to trap various creatures around Minescape.
Traps[]
All available traps can be purchased from the Yanille Hunter shop -2395 / 75 / 610, or the Nardah Hunter shop 350 / 65 / 1180. Some trap types require other items (Fishing net, Rope, Logs, Knife) to set them up on a pre-existing site (Net Trap, Deadfall Trap, Pitfall Trap). All the information can be found in the table below.
At higher levels more than 1 trap can be placed at a time for faster XP/hr. Additional traps are unlocked every 20 levels for all trap types, up to 5 traps at level 80. One trap can be placed at level 1, two traps at level 20, three traps at level 40, four traps at level 60 and finally five traps at level 80.

Creatures[]
The table below shows all of the creatures that can be trapped, what hunter level they require, how much experience they give upon a successful catch, what trap is used to catch them, and their location on the map.
For creatures that require a Deadfall, or Pitfall Trap, bring a hatchet to cut down nearby trees for more logs.
Implings give Hunter XP as well as Exploration XP at a 1:1 ratio.

Impling Locations[]
Implings come in three tiers, Low - Mid - High. Each tier of Implings spawn in their own general locations, and share spawn points within those general locations. This means there is no specific spawn point to find any one kind of Impling. This requires the player to explore the area in which that tier spawns to find the Implings they want.
It is not guaranteed that there will always be an abundance of Implings around the location you are hunting, Implings spawn randomly around the map at their designated spawn locations, so there may be a lot of Implings at one location, and only 1 or 2 at another. It is assumed by the community that there are a set number of each Impling type that can be spawned at any one time across the entire world, as well as timers associated with each Impling (Baby impling timer is much lower than that of a Magpie impling). This means that Low-Tier Implings change locations much more rapidly than High-Tier Implings. It is again assumed by the community that when an Impling is caught, a new Impling of the same type will not respawn until that timer expires. If an Impling is not caught by a player during that timer it will teleport to a new spawn location randomly on the map and start a new timer.
Low-Tier[]
Low-Tier Impling locations are very limited, seeming to be most concentrated around Lumbridge Swamp -450 / 65 / 255. They have a few much smaller spawning locations near the Earth altar, in Al-Kharid near the Duel Arena, and Shantay Pass.

Mid-Tier[]
Mid-Tier Implings are more spread out amongst the map, having some highly concentrated areas, as well as some minor spawns sprinkled throughout the map. The highest concentration of Mid-Tier imps is in the Kharidian Desert, south of Shantay Pass -90 / 70 / 430, this location requires heat resistance to efficiently hunt due to the Stamina/Prayer draining effects of the desert. Clothing like the Agility top/chaps or a Heat resistance potion will stop this draining effect. It is highly recommended to hunt Mid-Tier Implings here due to the abundance of Implings and the absence of trees that Implings can hide in or get stuck on top of.
The next best location for Mid-Tier Implings is around Seers' Village -1900 / 70 / -635. They are spread further apart than the Desert, but this location does not require Heat resistance potion making it a decent alternative to the Desert.

High-Tier[]
High-Tier Implings are the most difficult to track down, as they spawn in tiny clusters all around the map. From Piscatoris Fishing Colony to Burgh de Rott and many places in between, you can find these Implings hiding in the most obscure parts of the map. The best location to hunt this tier is debatable between Rellekka and the Kharidian Desert. Rellekka only has High-Tier Impling spawns, and they are closer together. The Desert has Mid-Tier and High-Tier Implings which can lead to a lot more loot when catching both Tiers, but requires a lot more walking.
