Hunter

Hunter is the ability to hunt various creatures in different areas, each with its unique environment. In each area you will encounter multiple creatures requiring a different hunting method to catch them. There are five different methods of hunting: tracking, box traping, butterfly netting, bird snaring and rabbit snaring. Each hunting method requires different equipment, you can buy this equipment from the Hunting expert.

Hunting for example can be done by setting up a trap in the vicinity of a creature, when a creature passes through the trap it will be caught. You can then check your trap to gain experience, obtain your loot and reacquire your trap. The higher the difference between the required Hunter level and your own Hunter level, the bigger your chance on successfully hunting a creature will be.

Hunter does not require an Active membership to start but some creatures can only be hunted by members.

You can use the Hunter skill to gain special items, new Range weapons and unique Pets.
