Hunter Training OSRS – Easiest Method
Levels 1–9: Natural History Quiz
Completing the Natural History Quiz in Varrock Museum grants the player 1,000 experience, and you will reach level 9
Levels 9–44/80/99: Bird house trapping
A bird house run is done by setting up bird house traps on Fossil Island (requires Bone Voyage) and filling them with suitable seeds. After 50 minutes, the player dismantles the traps for Hunter experience and loot, and sets them up again for the next run
Experience for a single (full) birdhouse birdhouse:
- Regular birdhouse: Level 5 crafting > 15 XP | Level 5 Hunter > 280 Xp
- Oak birdhouse: Level 15 crafting > 20 XP | Level 14 Hunter > 420 Xp
- Willow birdhouse: Level 25 crafting > 25 XP | Level 24 Hunter > 560 Xp
- Teak birdhouse: Level 35 crafting > 30 XP | Level 34 Hunter > 700 Xp

- Magic birdhouse: Level 75 crafting > 50 XP | Level 74 Hunter > 1.140 Xp
- Redwood birdhouse: Level 90 crafting > 55 XP | Level 89 Hunter > 1.200 Xp
Levels 44–99: Drift net fishing
Most efficient way to train both Fishing and Hunter at the same time. Drift net fishing is done in the underwater of Fossil Island (requires Bone Voyage)
For swimming underwater for extended periods of time, the player will need to wear a fishbowl helmet and the diving apparatus, which can be obtained from the Pirate Pete subquest of Recipe for Disaster. For swimming faster, the player will also need to wear flippers, which can only be obtained from killing mogres. For optimal experience rates, a merfolk trident or (uncharged) trident of the seas is used to chase fish shoal into drift nets. Stamina potions are also needed
