Old School RS: A Quick Guide to Hunting Wild Kebbits
Jun-24-2024 PSTToday, we're diving into the world of Old School RS (OSRS) with a quick guide on hunting wild kebbits. This activity is a part of the Hunter skill, offering an engaging way to train while collecting valuable resources. Let's explore the requirements, equipment, location, and method for successfully hunting wild kebbits.
Requirements
To start hunting wild kebbits, you need a minimum Hunter level of 23. Catching a wild kebbit grants 128 Hunter XP, making it a decent option for mid-level training.
Loot Table
When you catch a wild kebbit, you can expect to receive:
• Bones
• Kebbit claws
• Raw wild kebbit meat
Additionally, if you're on a Hunter task, there's a 1 in 15 chance of obtaining a kebbit tuft. While this drop rate isn't too low, the process is somewhat slow since you can only set up one trap at a time.
Equipment
While hunting wild kebbits, having the right equipment can make the process smoother. Here's what you should bring:
• Graceful Outfit (Optional): If you want to conserve run energy, though it's not critical since you won't be moving around much.
• Kandarin Headgear: Highly recommended if you've completed the Kandarin Achievement Diaries. It grants an extra log each time you cut down a tree, speeding up the process.
• Knife and Axe: Essential for cutting down trees to set traps.
• Starter Logs (Optional): These can save time, but you can easily gather logs on-site.
• Teleports to a Bank: To quickly bank your loot.
• Meat Pouch (Optional): Useful for storing raw wild kebbit meat if you plan on collecting it.
Location
Wild kebbits are found in the Piscatoris Hunter area. There are several ways to get there:
Teleport Options
• Fairy Ring (code AKQ): This is a quick way to reach the area. From the fairy ring, run south to the hunting grounds.
• Piscatoris Teleport Scroll: Another convenient option if you have these scrolls.
Walking Routes
• From Ardougne: Teleport to Ardougne and run west, then north to the Piscatoris area.
• From the Tree Gnome Stronghold: Teleport to the stronghold and run southwest, then north.
Once you arrive, you'll see wild kebbits hopping around. You can set your traps around the boulders found in the area.
The Method
Step-by-Step Guide
• Cut Down Trees: Start by cutting down trees near the hunting area to gather logs. If you're wearing the Kandarin headgear, you'll get two logs per tree.
• Set the Trap: Click on a boulder to set up a trap using one of your logs.
• Wait for a Catch: The wild kebbits will eventually run into your trap. If a kebbit hasn't triggered the trap after a while, it will fall over and you'll need to reset it.
• Collect Your Loot: Once a kebbit is caught, check the boulder to collect your loot.
• Repeat the Process: Reset the trap and continue cutting down trees to gather more logs.
This method is semi-AFK (Away From Keyboard) because you can only use one trap at a time, which might feel slow. However, it allows you to multitask or take breaks while hunting.
Tips for Efficiency
• Stay Near Trees: Position yourself close to trees and boulders to minimize running time.
• Use Kandarin Headgear: This significantly reduces the time spent gathering logs.
• Bank Regularly: Use teleports to quickly bank your loot, keeping your inventory manageable.
Conclusion
Hunting wild kebbits in OSRS is a laid-back, semi-AFK method to train your Hunter skill while gathering useful items. Despite the limitation of using only one trap at a time, the process is straightforward and can be efficiently managed with the right equipment and strategy.
If you're looking for a relaxed way to gain Hunter XP, give wild kebbit hunting a try. It's a great break from more intensive training methods and adds a variety of loot to your bank.
Remember, for the best experience, use the suggested equipment, choose the quickest travel method, and keep a steady rhythm of setting traps and gathering logs. Happy hunting!
