The Lancre Hunters' Outpost map by Kefka updated for Quow's Cow Bar

Description

The Lancre Hunters attract a wide variety of members, ranging from common outlaws to animal lovers, to hunters, to those who just look good in tights. As such they tend to be a rather unpredictable lot, aside from their unifying distaste for city life and human society.

Location

Located in the dense midst of Lancre Forest, the Hunters' Outpost is northeast of Ohulan Cutash in the Ramtops area.

Playing Style

The Hunters guild focuses on both combat as well as hunting and wandering the forests in which the Hunters' Outpost is located. This guild is recommended for Numberchasers and players who enjoy hunting, tracking down prey and fighting with swords, daggers, axes and maces while wearing lighter weight armour.

Using sword or dual swords along with parrying and dagger or dual daggers with dodging is recommended for new Hunters. Moreover, despite Fighting.range.bow being a primary skill, it is not recommended to advance this skill as there are no usable bows in the game that can use this skill.

As well, players interested in the hunting, tanning and dyeing lifestyle should keep a small knife or dagger close by to help skin their prey as well as other equipment needed for tanning.

Joining

Joining the guild is a fairly simple task, achieved by typing 'join' when you go upstairs and then east to the Hunter's recruitment room where Hawkseye Uggsworth resides.

Upon joining, he will give you a booklet detailing information about the Lancre Hunters that you can read.

Learning

You can learn new commands and advance your skills upstairs in the Hunters Training Area where Benny the Wolf resides.

Typing 'help here' will show you a list of commands you can use to learn and advance skills. Type 'say teach me please' in this room to see if you can learn new commands.

All warriors can learn and advance their skills from Benny, not just Hunters
