The wiki has a great guide for this, and block lists. It actually works out better xp/hr if you do expert instead of master but you’ll obviously offset the amount of rewards you receive. The pet chance is the same though if you’re hunting for it specifically.
I think one thing people don't talk about enough is the fact that hunter sacks don'r check your levels when rolling rewards. so, early game ironmen can in fact get much better rewards from them than from wintertodt
"Note that certain drops scale with certain skill levels such as Woodcutting; players with a higher Woodcutting level has a better chance of obtaining a higher tier log. However, it is possible (though very unlikely) for a player with a low skill level to obtain such items (i.e. a player with Woodcutting level 30 to receive a Yew log.) " oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Hunters%27_loot_sack_(basic)
Im spending all day today setting up my block lists! I did 99 at Herbiboar and now want to push my favorite skills XP even higher. Thanks for this video. Got me excited to start.
Gratz. I'm going to hit 200m in a couple weeks on my uim, did a solid 90m+ exp on herbi before switching to rumors. Still a little salty about how op rumors are but I've had fun overall lol
I would imagine "banking" herblore xp is even harder on an UIM given you have to manage the herbs AND seeds with your limited space. Herbi might still be the better play for you, idk. I'm betting the new herblore activity will be the Mahogany Homes of herblore (more xp per herb, but takes longer) and I'll be in the same boat with 120m herblore done before that activity came out. I've been stockpiling herbs since it was announced and currently sitting on 12m+ xp banked. Been itching to use it up!
the final herbiboar is definitely at spot #6, that's always the worst one, so of course the boar would end things all the way over there! Great video :D
@@Rakupenda yea that's a factor a lot of people don't take into consideration enough. whether or not you currently have alchs or fletching stuff to do on an iron can affect which method is currently best
Side note, you can also recharge your Quetzal whistle with any raw hunter meat (many of which are also given in the reward packs), such as raw kyatt or pyre fox meat (that is, if you find better sources of cooking xp)
The nets and ropes can both be stored in the Huntsman's kit. I didn't use it because of the extra inventory management. Much simpler to just leave them in the inventory.
Strictly by highscores there are less people with high herb then there is with prayer . 122 hours extra is not bad considering how much more herbs you get. You can translate all that into bossing, rumors arw great but im still going for at least 100m of just herbibore once i max my ironman at the end of the year lmao
For context: I'm 120.7m herb with another 13m banked waiting for Varlamore pt 2's herb minigame = 133.7m herb. A lot of the herblore experience has come from pvm sources but an equally large part has come from herb runs. I have 62m prayer + 18.8m banked = 80.8m prayer. Banking herblore xp is severely time gated behind herb runs because you're limited to one every 80 minutes. And like training farming (because it IS farming) -- the actual time invested into doing it is relatively small but it's spread over a long period of time, years even. Compare that to banking cooking, where if you wanted to you could focus and "knock out" that skill in relatively short time of a few months. You simply can't camp herblore like that for an "easy" front page 200m like the cooking. I argue that's why there are more 200m cooking than herblore. There's comparable amounts of people with high prayer as there is high herblore; herblore requires 100m to be front page where prayer is about 90m. My prayer should catch up to herblore with the 200m slayer grind and from there I will need to actually dedicate time to banking prayer to finish it. We should weigh that 122 hours saved by imagining they were put towards solely towards gathering herbs (herb runs): each run takes approximately 10 minutes and ten herb patches per run, ~9 herbs per seed on average is 65,880 herbs. At a minimum I plant Irit (108.8xp ea) which means that is at least 7.1m herb xp. With that framing, now it's like I only spent 3m herb xp for 17m prayer and 17m cooking (+ more). There's also nothing stopping you from spending those extra 122 hours doing post-200m herbi for just banking herb xp. You'll get about 3m herblore doing that. The 200m all journey is focused on the long term. It is a game of years, not mere months for "quick" 200m front page flexes. I need to think about grinds in the context of all the skills, not just herblore.
@@Rakupenda ah cool. To me it just looked similar since its only one letter off. Then again I don’t know any Japanese, so didn’t make the connection there.
I'm curious, with the good meat and moonlight antler drops from moonlight antelope, could it not be reasonable to block tecu salamanders, and do moonlight antelope instead as the third?
Welcome to OSRS! The teak and mahogany logs from the loot reward sacks will be converted into planks and used for construction. It's not that I gained the xp, it's that I have acquired the necessary materials ("banked") for use later. Banking xp is a large component for Ironman skilling as we don't have the GE to simply buy more stuff like the planks needed to train construction. Hope this helps clear things up.
Did you do many rumors before they removed kebbit skipping? I did around 1700 elite rumors with kebbit skipping for my pet and was averaging over 250k hunter exp an hr. Its a shame they removed it imo, but I’m just glad I got the pet beforehand :p
I did not do the elite kebbit skipping, no. I did have about 2000 rumours before they reworked the task list, so they were very light on the herbi/kebbit tasks because I had six tasks to cycle between instead of three at that time.
Okay, so I accidently reset my block list..., and then as I'm almost done completing it I get Queztin pet at 126 rumors completed. I'm not an ironman so I might just go do herbivore only for the pet lol... What do you think? Is there any incentive of me doing more rumors?
I can't do rumors until I get my chin pet!! :( I figure grinding 99 hunter thru rumors is silly if I'm trying to get the baby chin. Hopefully he comes soon. Which I highly doubt :(
Unfortunately chin pet rate is about 25m xp. You *could* do the four rumour setup (don't block red chins) and do rumours until you get Quetzin or chin pet, then block red chins & finish out rumours 'til Quetzin.

@@Rakupenda There's probably more elegant solutions but I treated it as a markov model with transition matrix:
k h s
k 1/3 1/3 1/2
h 1/3 1/3 1/2
s 1/3 1/3 0
and solved for the steady state:
k = h (= 1/3k +1/3h + 1/2s = 2/3k + 1/2s)
s = 1/3k + 1/3h = 2/3k
k + h + s = 2k + s = 1
then: 1 = 2k + 2/3k -> 3 = 6k + 2k = 8k -> k = 3/8 (= h)
since s = 2/3k -> s = 2/3 * 3/8 = 6/24 = 1/4

Love your vids, currently going for 200m FM at WT myself into 200m Hunter by Rumors. Happy to see your first Video with more views on it! Keep it up!
Very nice, best of luck with the FM grind man
Awesome guide man. Keep em coming please.
I love when a degenerate 200m gamer posts an extensive guide like this. Absolutely my favorite osrs content ❤
If you need content ideas, I think a video highlighting the best iron skilling methods on mobile would do well
If you do rumours early i would recommend doing moonlight antelopes, as the sunlight crossbow is an insane early weapon.
One benefit of herbiboar is you can do hi alks in between. I try to do my daily battlestars, so alk training is always something I look for
Early on in the hunter grind I burned through all my alch and fletching mats. Was nice, one they were gone, to do laid back hunter for the remainder.

Hey weird question, but is the name Rakupenda based on Swahili? Because Nakupenda means “I love you” in Swahili.
Might just be a coincidence.
It is not. Raku is a form of Japanese pottery. Penda is shortened form of pendant. Raku pendant. Rakupenda.
@@Rakupenda ah cool. To me it just looked similar since its only one letter off. Then again I don’t know any Japanese, so didn’t make the connection there.
I originally stopped doing rumors because I got so tired of the garbage drop rates for the outfit and the activity overall was mind numbing.
Does one have to be clinically insane 200m in any skill
I'm curious, with the good meat and moonlight antler drops from moonlight antelope, could it not be reasonable to block tecu salamanders, and do moonlight antelope instead as the third?
You certainly could. Moonlight specifically you wouldn't need to bring logs or an axe because of the "trees" there don't require an axe.
hey sorry im new to OSRS, how exactly did the 1mil construction you mentioned at the end
come from doing hunter?

do u just avoid rdps at tob? or i imagine u have enough chins for a good bit of it
I prefer mage. I do have tens of thousands of chins left from the chin pet hunt, but generally the "normie" is the one assigned to chin in tob.

@@Rakupenda can i change this from just getting task from gilman until i get antilopes and vise versa?
If you want to change this, you'll need to complete Gilman tasks until he assigns you the antelopes. Then they are "blocked".
Can you even make the blocklist you have without 91 hunting?
No. You need 91 to have access to Wolf.
I don't get it somehow i ruined all my block lists? Does gilman reset every task?
If you have him reset all the tasks, yes.
