How to tolerate hunting
My 2 lowest skills were Runecrafting and Hunting, tears of Guthix xp was always added to my hunter this being the ultimate lowest but my least favourite skill being Runecrafting, I decided I had to do something about it and working on runecrafting wasnt an option (yet anyway) , I went to red chompas, found a quiet world but couldn't get down to it, laying boxes picking up and repeating, I have always neglected hunting because of the ignorance of hunters putting traps on the same place as lower level hunters, this wasn't happening but I was still well bored after catchging just 70 chompas.
I could catch Pawya's they were good xp so thought I would give it a try, had a few 100 papaya's went to the magic trees at Lletya, planted my traps laced them with papaya summoned my trusty Wolpertinger for the hunting boost and chopped magic logs while I watched, I heard that catching Pawya's was expensive and that is why no one did them, Papaya's were about 1.5k each so could understand that but I had plenty cash spare decided to give it a go.
I was actually surprised to find that Pawya's not only covered the cost but could make a tidy profit, the cost of the papaya was 1.5k the value of the raw pawya meat was 2.5k each so every 1 caught had the potential of a 1k profit, obviously not every papaya used caught a Pawya but it evened itself out over the course of the inventory of fruits, I estimated about 50% to 85% success per inventory and I made some extra selling the bones.
As I trained I leveled enough to catch Grenwalls, grenwalls require Pawya meat as bait so I was lacing every trap with a 2.5k item, bearing in mind I was only just the level to catch them but I did have the help of a Wolpertinger, laying 4 traps at a time I was catching about 50% to 80% Grenwalls per inventory, the 2.5k investment was recovered 10 fold, when you catch Grenwalls you get Grenwall spikes worth just under 1.5k each, per catch getting between 18 to 21 spikes, thats 30k per catch just on spikes, add to that the value of the herbs avantoe up to Ranarr and the odd Papaya tree seed that they drop. you cant make that much profit from chinchompas so why are chompas so overly hunted, you also get 1.1k xp catching Grenwalls so the xp is huge.
As it happens grenwall spikes are a requirement for extreme ranging pots so I used all my spikes on them, had I sold I could have made many millions for the few hours work I put into hunting Pawya's and Grenwalls, It was also a lot more exciting than chompa's I really enjoyed getting to 80 hunting, now I can catch level 5 sacred clay swarms in stealing creation but taking a break from hunting for a while now while I try to regain my slayer rank.
As a little side note, since I got 80 hunter I quite enjoyed hunting and went back to the grenwall spot with a pack of papaya's, checked price on price checker about 25K, set up the traps and caught pawya's I then laid the raw pawya meat and caught grenwalls, the value of the spikes themselves was 250k, thats 10 x the money made in a few minutes, this has got to be as good an earner as slayer.
Went back again today and made 300k on a 20 minute trip, at 900k an hour this has got to be one of the best earners on Runescape, unfortunately its not always roses, another trip I only trapped a few and left with 150K profit, higher levels will get better luck but even 150k for 20 minutes work isn't bad.
just checked the value of the spines from the last few hunter levels, not bad for a few days work.
Now I am going to shove them in a range pot for extreme range potion, this is by far the quickest way to train herblore because you can combine 27 pots at a go, the spines stack and the extreme range pot production has one of the highest xp rates per action.
Familiars for training on Pawya/Grenwall can either be Wolpertinger as used by myself equally good are Spirit Larupia, Graahk or Kyatt, another idea that I saw at the grenwall hunting area was the fruit bat, the scrolls from this can be used to produce papaya fruit for the traps possibly prolonging your stay
Lets try to find a Runecrafting way I enjoy now.
