Runescape Hunting Guide: Catching and Tracking Kebbits

Tracking is one of the first hunting methods learned in Runescape as you can actually start tracking and catching kebbits at Hunter Level 1. (If you are just starting to train your hunting level, you may want to check into the Vinesweeper minigame first for a quick, easy way to gain hunting experience.)

The only piece of equipment you need to track kebbits is a noose wand. You can pick one of these up at a hunting shop (there’s one in Yanille and one in Nardah), or if you’re being a little lazy, you can try to buy one at the Grand Exchange in Varrock.

Despite being a low level hunting method, you can actually make a decent amount of money from tracking certain types of kebbits, assuming that you have a way to get to the various hunting areas. If you have access to the fairy rings, it’s much easier to get around since there is a ring close to every major hunting area. If you already have a few hunting levels under your belt and have completed the Eagles’ Peak quest, then you can use that transportation system as well. If you haven’t completed Eagles’ Peak yet, it’s a good idea to get that in as soon as you can – the only prerequisite for that quest is having a Hunter Level 27.

There are five types of kebbits that you can track and catch with a noose wand in Runescape. Even though these five beasts are in different locales, the method used for tracking them is basically the same. We’ll describe that method in the next section, but first we’ll show where each of the five “trackable” kebbits can be located on the Runescape map.

Polar Kebbit – The lowest level kebbit you can track with the hunting skill is the polar kebbit. These little guys can be found in the Trollweiss Hunter area that’s just north of Rellekka and the Keldagrim Entrance as shown in the screenshot below. (Click any image for a larger view.)

As you only need Hunter Level 1 to track polar kebbits, you can start hunting these animals at any time. When you catch one, you’ll obtain bones, raw beast meat, and polar kebbit fur. The fur can be taken to the Fancy Dress Shop in Varrock and turned into polar camouflage gear. Wearing polar camouflage gear will improve your chance of success when hunting in polar regions.

Polar kebbit fur is also used as an ingredient for the Summoning skill so it fetches a nice price on the Grand Exchange – you can actually get more than 2000 gp for one piece of polar kebbit fur most of the time! That’s not bad at all, assuming you have some decent means of getting around such as access to the fairy rings or a teleportation item to get you to nearby Rellekka.
