The prayer xp alone is worth doing it, I remember the early levels being awful to get on my iron. I went from low 60's to low 80's in a few days doing rumors, was lucky enough to green log around 220 rumors. The somewhat varied tasks help break up the repetitiveness too.
Do you even realize what a pain in the dick it is to hunt dragon implings? And the crafting requirements for zenytes won't go away just because you're not looking.
99 hunter might genuinely become the new iron meta after so many years, it's nice to have an early game resource generator that isn't as miserable as WT. Couple tips for people who want to do this route for early game iron because I'm also currently doing it; - get graceful, ardy cape, and fairy rings first; you do a ton of running and run energy is really the only limiting factor when it comes to spamming rumors - to counteract run energy, take all the harrlanders you're going to get from the rumors and turn them into energy potions, chocoloate dust is effectively free from gnome stronghold
But I can't use shops :o Choco bars are gonna have to come from Zanaris here. Plus, since this is slower xp and you don't have that many teleports early on; won't you get bored by this quite easily too?
The main reason people start with Wintertodt is the scaling damage. It's better to do at 10-14 HP. The problem with hunter rumors is the pitfall traps. Some of those mobs can hit pretty hard and it's going to be even harder at 10-14 HP. So if you raise your HP level Wintertodt is going to be more of a pain later. It's better imo to just get it out of the way, also the firemaking cape counts as a light source which is very useful in a lot of places. Also Wintertodt rewards. Yes you have a chance at better rewards with higher skills. However i'd argue that the early game supplies are better for your account overall. Lets be honest here. No one is doing Wintertodt at a high level for late game or even mid game supplies...
I think this has skirted around some of the requirements to do this well, teleports, crafting pouches, crafting whistle etc. it focuses heavily on the benefits without giving a clear indication as specifically when you would start. I think someone forging this as a planned starting route would be an awesome idea.
Well, besides the pitfall traps requiring you to have a higher hp level, solo Wintertodt can easily get you close to 70 Con, WC and Fletching after the grind. I agree with doing this after a few quests though. One thing you forgot to keep in mind, how are you going to teleport everywhere if you go straight to rumours? You need fairy rings and teleports.
Great video, had just done 99 fm grind prior to Varlamore and have jumped across to Hunter, currently 87 from rumours on my new iron. Love the new content.
I actually still think its worth doing fm to 99 prior to starting hunter. You will take a lot of dmg from deadfalls on a lowbie acct so do wt (even to just 85) while your hp is still low, then shift to rumours is my advice.
Overall, a good point. I think that the part about the moths/butterflies should have been listed before the prayer note but after all the herbs you get. My fingers were itching to type "you forgot about these busted things though!" Lvl 1 herblore, just need the supplies and hunter level to catch the moths and you have good prayer potion alternatives without having to tediously grab snape grass or pray for the right herbs. You get the moths as rumors and can specifically hunt them outside of rumors.
@@nigellh1153You don't need 91 hunter to catch moonlight moths and herbiboar tho, only if it's thru rumours. So yes you can most definitely catch moonlight moths at 75 and herbiboar at 80.
@nigellh1153 I think the general idea of it was to spread awareness of the general usefulness of the changes to hunter. Minor mistakes therein or not, we are all human and will make mistakes when compiling information like this. Its still all good points that newer players may not read into and be privy about.
I see two problems there: 1. HP struggle at hunter with new accounts 2. have fun getting to all hunter locations without almost any teleport option I'd say: 1. Get your Con to about 25 2. Do WT solos only and just collect the crates (took my about 85 solos?) so you dont waste much of bank space 3. unlock important teleport options (with this you can also get higher HP) 4. grind out hunter rumors In the end... just play the game the way you enjoy, but i cant agree with this video
The fuck are you talking? lol I just said you should at least unlock your teleports be4 grinding rumors. WT doesnt need teleports and can push your con lvl which is also good on an early iron.
This is exactly what I thought. How do you get around the game for the rumours and you need some hp to not die lol. I just started my ironman and currently grinding WT till around 80 for the 200k cash. After, continue levelling and then grind rumours a bit later
Agreed. He’s comparing a few month grind to a couple week grind. Do fm first. At least 90. 99 fm cape doesn’t really get you anything though. 99 hunter cape seems nice. The time investment on these two grinds aren’t comparable at all though.
Nice vid - one disagreement i have though is when it comes to rewards. WT gives great rewards right away after your first game and really only scales in xp while you play. Where as not only do I have to get 30 herb to get into the hunters guild, but I also need 57 hunter to start getting adept rumors, as the beginner loot bags just aren't great
Just watched! I have been doing bird houses and I was starting to wonder what the benefits hunter would have down the line. I was also starting to worry about how I was going to progress my ironman in general. Im really really glad hunter is so dang beneficial. Great video, thank you so much.
Thanks for your constant hard work. Just wanted to make a correction. You do not need to complete “At First Light” to gain access to the guild or rumours. It only gives you access to master tier rumours.
Hunter is a goated skill., was my 2nd 99 on my ironman and it set my account up great for future grinds. And with the release of varlamore I still use it for a few things even after having 99, Well worth training
What's amazing about Rumors is you can try the F2P iron experience and not be punished for having high hp. Getting food or tele jewelry for todt during the mid-game is trivial after having a strong start by doing everything else.
I have been thinking about doing a iron man as my third account. I am doing slayer on my Alt for money and my main is usually skilling or bossing. I can't wait to do this to my first ever iron man.
As my first member skill I have ever leveled up, Hunter has always been my favorite skill. This video made me want to work on Hunter for my Top 10 Hardcore Ironman 🔥
I tried this, the loot is fantastic but this isn't easily done on a fresher account. So it's good to unlock fairy rings, regular book teleports, and other methods. Then this gets better. The XP isn't the best but you get loot. What's I'm choosing to do is just rush to 83 Hunter on my ironman first. Finishing 99 fm at WT. Then I'll do some rumors because it gives good early prayer xp and Guild Hunter Outfit will be worth getting. However, I think it's still best to focus on herbivores as herblore is tough on an iron.
Just to give in perspective on why this is actually a really good idea for newer/current mid ironmen: Hunter has a lot of "little secrets", go look at the dragon impling, ninja impling drop tables, early access to glory amulets, no one goes for nature so tons of irit seeds +, basically full bark wizard armour except legs and plate (from wildy bosses), food, herbs, bird nests, coins (bout same as wintertodt), prayer xp in blessed bone shards and other various bones, a new way of getting early magic logs as even the basic sac can give 4 magic logs. The other thing is the general rule for ironmen is put all skill lamps into herblore/smithing early, and any combat into prayer/magic if you can. With the new herblore minigame, it could ease the pain of the 70 smithing grind on mid ironmen as most lamps would instead be used on smithing. TL;DR: I agree with you. My secret on my ironman was soul wars, followed zealgains and had like unreal amount of uncut rubies and diamonds, adamant and rune bolts, adamant and rune arrows, snapdragon seeds (now just snapdragon unf pots that I am too lazy to grind eggs for rofl), etc. The other secret, now, is undead pirates using wilderness food/pots from LMS, etc.
subscribed, saved video and liked XD this will help tons on my UIM i started about 5 days ago XD was doing the wildy method by picking up big bones and running to chaos alter, but i got to level hunter up too so kill multiple birds with 1 skill grind XD ty :)
There is now a ton of different things on a early iron worth doing compared to when i made mine, GOTR is absolutley massive early cos the necklace is a close bank tele and the laws/nats early game is huge, then we've got tempeross u get clues/planks for early construction and the caskets give teleport jewlry without the need for craft lvl but u do still need the magic level to enchant them, you can get rune items in caskets which is good early money and the food is insane :), Also LMS for rune pouch is amazing/rune arrows for money the options for early irons now is endless
tecu is 99 attention not str and as you said it i thought i could equip it on my 60 att pure and finally no lol :( sad for me cause sal is insane ! Nice vid g g
I went and tried this and I get where you're coming from, that being said. Wintertodt is a lot more you unlock it and you're ready to go. Rumours feel a little bit more mid-game/ have mage levels uplock fairy rings... and a bunch of stuff. Wintertodt is 50 fm and food and your good to go.
Also you miss out on bird nests and chins. Even if you want to do rumours for clogs I'd probably do that after 99 hunter. The wwt loot is not great but you do it early game because it's more valuable then
Doing herbi rumours at 80 and moonlight moth at 75 implies you are only doing novice contracts. Otherwise those won't be assigned until you are 91 hunter for highest tier contracts.
Awesome video, great points. The amount of resources from grinding 46-99 hunter would put you straight into the early mid game. Also, obligatory drift net fishing comment.
Thats what im wondering. What quests need done for varlamore hunter rumors? What agility level do i need to make it worthwhile? will i still be 10 hp when done?
Amazing content man, just found your channel. But what about both? Doing WT until like 80 FM and 200k cash and then get some hp/cb stats and teleports in the game, and then grind hunter until 90-99? Best of both worlds?
WT has like no requirements. Hunter rumours has a ton of things to do to make it useful. You need graceful and/or higher agility. You need herbiboar unlocked, several quests done. WT is nice that it gives you a boost at almost no requirements.
I was asking this too..what quests need to be done to unlock rumors/varlamore? what casues damage while hunting, etc? Will i still be 10hp after 99 hunter?
I agree. I'm a new ironman that did wt first. only 1k total xp. last four days I just started my hunter grind at 32 at novice and currently at 62 now at adept. I waited till I unlocked fairy rings to do this. which btw if fairy rings are not unlocked this method is pointless. Ive done almost 50 rumors and the only thing beneficial would be the food and herbs for herblore. I still think for early levels that wintertodt and temporos to 82 are far better choices
You can always do rumors - The pitfall trap rumors especially will benefit from higher HP You can't always do Wintertodt (at least you would be stupid for delaying after leveling hitpoints) Also... the Tome of Fire is likely the main the reason most ironmen grind Wintertodt until 99 - It is equip-able fire runes for your Iban's Staff
Wintertodt, Guardians of the Rift and Hunter Rumours did change progression a lot. This video though tries to pit WT vs Rumours. Youre supposed to just do both. Until Jagex gives us QoL changes for WT, its best to do the WT grind first. Not necessarily 99 but definetely for quite some time, 95+ recommended. GotR should be done asap until you reach the altars that are gated behind quests. This will supply a good amount of runes for any starting Ironman and all it needs are the related quests and a pickaxe. Side benefit of getting Tears of Guthix later to stop going into RC. Hunter's Rumours though, its best to get Fairy Rings first, some health and maybe some extra teleport. As you said aswell, 66 crafting for a meat pouch. Perhaps also not doing it till 99 since its a very slow grind, but doing it until atleast 70 for quest reqs is recommended. Rumours 100% belong into the "Setting up your iron" category but its not only upsides.
It's a runelite plugin called "Teleport maps" which changes the interface for some of the transportation systems like fossil island, spirit tree, wildy obelisk and few others.
Hello, good video, i already follow a guide that want me to do wintertod soon, but do you have a full guide for me how to get to 99 your way from a fresh acc
Just do whatever your highest contracts are available. As someone else said wintertodt is better to do early because it's best to do while still 10 hp. knock out 99 fm then get 99 hunter. fm only take 50 hours so just hit the grindstone and get it done. Do enough agility for full gracefull and quests to unlock fairy rings and youre set for 99 hunter
Quetzal whistle solves a lot of the problems and with the correct rumour block list and few hours of questing/leveling for fairy rings, you can access most tasks pretty fast.
@@cibrig8719 Here is a very detailed guide on blocking annoying tasks - www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/1br26jl/efficient_enough_expert_hunter_rumours_guide_160k/
50 woodcutting for magic logs is a none issue, you already have 50 woodcutting just by getting enough logs to burn to unlock wintertodt todt still better to do first to atleast 85 fm and id argue tempoross is still better than this second considering you cant even do half the hunter stuff early game
@@TheMintybreath it's just convenience, you either have to use junk fish from tempoross to get 99 fm later or you do it early on. But it's still good to do early on since tome of fire is so handy to have for irons, especially before you get warped scepter
You could utilize the pseudo-block system in place. Just utilize the fact you can't be assigned the same thing from 2 different Hunter Masters. Just have a bunch assign you the pitfalls and never touch them again until you need to rearrange the list.
Misleading All of the benefits you mention are the exact reason why wintertodt is better. You aren’t doing the grind for the loot, especially if you are a UIM. Also for levelling, lighting logs is faster. But wintertodt is an inevitable hurdle because of the pet and clothing needed for clues. And since it’s easier at a low hp level, wintertodt early is objectively optimal. And let’s be real, if you aren’t playing a hcim or uim, you should be going for variety instead of grinding a skill from 1-90+.
Wintertodt is terrible for anything but completely useless firemaking xp. Ironmen shouldn't bother going here unless they need magic logs for DT considering the rewards are horrible and every single thing you get from there can easily be obtained elsewhere while actually progressing your account
@ Before the recent update, if you planned on maxing, you would atleast get it to 80 via wintertodt since that meant you had all the necessary content unlocked and could wrap up the rest of your levels the faster way. The only issue being that if you wanted all log slots, 80 typically wouldn’t be enough. Nothing has really changed now except you can do it at any level.
Someone explain to me why the game won't let me hold multiple crates at a time. I just don't do winter anymore simply because they won't give me the rewards
unfortunately hunter packs won't get me 200m fm xp very quickly which I need in order to have a chance for the phoenix considering I did wt solos until I was over drop rate dry (based on calculated total loot rolls). Now I'm going for wt on mass worlds and I guess we'll see if I go kc dry for wt (given each kc is *at least* 2 rolls, going for 2500kc at wt would guarantee being above drop rate for phoenix.)
No uploads for 10 days, was too busy enjoying Varlamore but then realised I need to pay rent so we back babeeee
Lmao!🤣
@KriibusRS just so you know, you can't start moonlight moths at 75 and you can't start Herbiboar at 80, because master rumours only start at 91
The prayer xp alone is worth doing it, I remember the early levels being awful to get on my iron. I went from low 60's to low 80's in a few days doing rumors, was lucky enough to green log around 220 rumors. The somewhat varied tasks help break up the repetitiveness too.
Prayer exp from doing hunter? Tasty
Not sure if I missed it, but the other benefit is unlocking drag imps for an early glory.
Do you even realize what a pain in the dick it is to hunt dragon implings?
And the crafting requirements for zenytes won't go away just because you're not looking.
But like, how the fuck do i find a dragon imp :(

99 hunter might genuinely become the new iron meta after so many years, it's nice to have an early game resource generator that isn't as miserable as WT.
Couple tips for people who want to do this route for early game iron because I'm also currently doing it;
- get graceful, ardy cape, and fairy rings first; you do a ton of running and run energy is really the only limiting factor when it comes to spamming rumors
- to counteract run energy, take all the harrlanders you're going to get from the rumors and turn them into energy potions, chocoloate dust is effectively free from gnome stronghold
101 right here - solid foundation ❤
Also with some recipe for disaster you can hop worlds and buy tons of chocolate bars
But I can't use shops :o Choco bars are gonna have to come from Zanaris here. Plus, since this is slower xp and you don't have that many teleports early on; won't you get bored by this quite easily too?
Also when you are doing 99 hunter you can get easy glory on the way. Starting combat on your ironman and having glory is lit
It sort of was the meta for a while. Ppl would rush whatever the level was for d imps to get glories

@@Kryptomi No it isnt, the amount of loot u get at wt is ass and worse than most pvm encounters
Still have to go to wintertodt after the hunting cape since your method doesn’t train fire making. You don’t “stop playing wintertodt “
Doing herbi rumours at 80 and moonlight moth at 75 implies you are only doing novice contracts. Otherwise those won't be assigned until you are 91 hunter for highest tier contracts.
i did agil 70 with ful grace ful, 99 fm through Wt. then 99 Hunter through Herbiboar. set on pots after that and had lvl 74 herblore

Transport is a pain for hunter though. Fairy rings at a minimum
So make an Ironman guide for new hunter accounts
Thats what im wondering. What quests need done for varlamore hunter rumors? What agility level do i need to make it worthwhile? will i still be 10 hp when done?
I think you made one mistake, you can't start moonlight moths at 75 and you can't start Herbiboar at 80, because master rumours only start at 91
Amazing content man, just found your channel. But what about both? Doing WT until like 80 FM and 200k cash and then get some hp/cb stats and teleports in the game, and then grind hunter until 90-99? Best of both worlds?
How long would that take, from start to 99?
New Iron meta
1. Wt to 99
2. Get all your tele unlocks (rings, ardy cape, 50 con for the poh)
3. 99 hunter
4. the rest of the game
Just do both ?
At First Light is not required for hunter rumors, only master tier
The point of doing wintertodt first is to get firemaking done before training hitpoints. This doesn't really change that.
Looking like a good revamp for my iron 👍
Liked, commented and subscribed for the algo-boost. Good content bud!
Important Note: At First Light is not required to access the Hunter Guild. It is only required to use Master Rumors. :)
Funny, just before Varlamore update I got 99 firewalling and after the update I'm trying to 99 hunter (currently at 96).
Biggest drawback is the lack of transportation. WT was a one and done location. Without fairy ring access, I think hunter rumours would be terrible.
WT has like no requirements. Hunter rumours has a ton of things to do to make it useful. You need graceful and/or higher agility. You need herbiboar unlocked, several quests done.
WT is nice that it gives you a boost at almost no requirements.
I was asking this too..what quests need to be done to unlock rumors/varlamore? what casues damage while hunting, etc? Will i still be 10hp after 99 hunter?
I agree. I'm a new ironman that did wt first. only 1k total xp. last four days I just started my hunter grind at 32 at novice and currently at 62 now at adept. I waited till I unlocked fairy rings to do this. which btw if fairy rings are not unlocked this method is pointless. Ive done almost 50 rumors and the only thing beneficial would be the food and herbs for herblore. I still think for early levels that wintertodt and temporos to 82 are far better choices
You can always do rumors - The pitfall trap rumors especially will benefit from higher HP
You can't always do Wintertodt (at least you would be stupid for delaying after leveling hitpoints)
Also... the Tome of Fire is likely the main the reason most ironmen grind Wintertodt until 99 - It is equip-able fire runes for your Iban's Staff
I have 35 HP and started a week ago, is it bad for me to do Wintertodt now?
I wish I had access to this when I was starting out my iron
Wintertodt, Guardians of the Rift and Hunter Rumours did change progression a lot.
This video though tries to pit WT vs Rumours. Youre supposed to just do both. Until Jagex gives us QoL changes for WT, its best to do the WT grind first. Not necessarily 99 but definetely for quite some time, 95+ recommended.
GotR should be done asap until you reach the altars that are gated behind quests. This will supply a good amount of runes for any starting Ironman and all it needs are the related quests and a pickaxe. Side benefit of getting Tears of Guthix later to stop going into RC.
Hunter's Rumours though, its best to get Fairy Rings first, some health and maybe some extra teleport. As you said aswell, 66 crafting for a meat pouch. Perhaps also not doing it till 99 since its a very slow grind, but doing it until atleast 70 for quest reqs is recommended.
Rumours 100% belong into the "Setting up your iron" category but its not only upsides.
great guide and idea. im terrified to even to wt on my ghc is there any like fool proof method to never die?
Pay attention to ur health
But it seems like rumors have more requirements compared to WT being unlocked/doable in the first few hours of the game.
but u dont get acces to teleport early on
so do fm till 80 85 fm for gems to make teleports first and fairy tale 2 needed
imagine doing tons of hunter rumours without fairy rings and no POH fairy ring. Dashing kebbits would go from BIS task to time sink.
I think doing WT to 75 then doing this would be ideal. 75 for DT2 then the logs from rumors for fletching
Whats up with the map for mushroom transporation thingy? All I get is ugly text choices.
Its part of a Runelite plugin called Teleport Maps. You can find it in the plugin hub
Probably a rune lite plug in
It's a runelite plugin called "Teleport maps" which changes the interface for some of the transportation systems like fossil island, spirit tree, wildy obelisk and few others.
@@KriibusRS nice! Thank you!
How would one go about getting 1-99 hunter using this route? Im a new player
Hello, good video, i already follow a guide that want me to do wintertod soon, but do you have a full guide for me how to get to 99 your way from a fresh acc
Just do whatever your highest contracts are available. As someone else said wintertodt is better to do early because it's best to do while still 10 hp. knock out 99 fm then get 99 hunter. fm only take 50 hours so just hit the grindstone and get it done. Do enough agility for full gracefull and quests to unlock fairy rings and youre set for 99 hunter
99 fm, 99 hunter and 99 fishing at temporos. Best start for a hcim.
how do you travel around the world to all these hunter creatures on a brand new fresh acc?
Quetzal whistle solves a lot of the problems and with the correct rumour block list and few hours of questing/leveling for fairy rings, you can access most tasks pretty fast.
@@KriibusRShow do you block tasks? I'm tired of deadfall trap tasks.
@@cibrig8719 Here is a very detailed guide on blocking annoying tasks - www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/1br26jl/efficient_enough_expert_hunter_rumours_guide_160k/
@@KriibusRS thank you! This will help my iron a lot.
Awesome video bro
50 woodcutting for magic logs is a none issue, you already have 50 woodcutting just by getting enough logs to burn to unlock wintertodt
todt still better to do first to atleast 85 fm and id argue tempoross is still better than this second considering you cant even do half the hunter stuff early game
Yes but can you do rumors without any quest req's? can you get 99 doing rumors at 10 hp then go to wintertodt?
With all due respect have you actually tried this on a new account? Rumours are painful to do without teleports and many midgame upgrades
Yeah no, this is just clickbait. Swindling noobs for views.
Sweet video!! I always thought it was a pretty big waste for irons to get 99 fm first since they miss out on all the scaled drops for herblore
The scaled drops for herblore are neglible even if you wait until a much higher herb level
@@XxSupaBAMxX Every little bit adds up over time, especially if you're hitting 99 there IMO
@@TheMintybreath it's just convenience, you either have to use junk fish from tempoross to get 99 fm later or you do it early on. But it's still good to do early on since tome of fire is so handy to have for irons, especially before you get warped scepter
@@TheMintybreath it's going to be maybe a few 100k at most
@@zackolot tome is nice to get but all it does is save some fire runes, not really that big of a deal
Well made video and great update!
What's the song used in the video?
doing wintertodt after 10 hp is gnna suck, getting hit by npc from the deadfall traps gl on hc's
just use better food its legit the same.
they can make a hunters outfit with the furs and it will make them do 0 damage
You could utilize the pseudo-block system in place. Just utilize the fact you can't be assigned the same thing from 2 different Hunter Masters. Just have a bunch assign you the pitfalls and never touch them again until you need to rearrange the list.
I'm 99 hp. Did 99 fming last week and burned through a couple hundred monkfish j had laying around in the bank.
@@cloudliss7346really??
You forgot about the sunlight hunters crossbow 😭
What was the item you put the ropes and nets into?
It was the huntsman kit that you get by completing hunter rumours and it stores all your hunter items
Misleading
All of the benefits you mention are the exact reason why wintertodt is better. You aren’t doing the grind for the loot, especially if you are a UIM. Also for levelling, lighting logs is faster. But wintertodt is an inevitable hurdle because of the pet and clothing needed for clues. And since it’s easier at a low hp level, wintertodt early is objectively optimal. And let’s be real, if you aren’t playing a hcim or uim, you should be going for variety instead of grinding a skill from 1-90+.
Wintertodt is terrible for anything but completely useless firemaking xp. Ironmen shouldn't bother going here unless they need magic logs for DT considering the rewards are horrible and every single thing you get from there can easily be obtained elsewhere while actually progressing your account
@ Before the recent update, if you planned on maxing, you would atleast get it to 80 via wintertodt since that meant you had all the necessary content unlocked and could wrap up the rest of your levels the faster way. The only issue being that if you wanted all log slots, 80 typically wouldn’t be enough. Nothing has really changed now except you can do it at any level.
Someone explain to me why the game won't let me hold multiple crates at a time. I just don't do winter anymore simply because they won't give me the rewards
Wait wtf you get noted nests???? Great for uim
Unfortunately birdhouses and chins are just too good, no way rumours replace them for irons
Guardians of the rift necklace gives unlimited teles to a nearby bank.
how many hours does this take
seeing as wintertodt is getting changed soon so you can do it at any constitution level. this video will age like fine wine still
unfortunately hunter packs won't get me 200m fm xp very quickly which I need in order to have a chance for the phoenix considering I did wt solos until I was over drop rate dry (based on calculated total loot rolls). Now I'm going for wt on mass worlds and I guess we'll see if I go kc dry for wt (given each kc is *at least* 2 rolls, going for 2500kc at wt would guarantee being above drop rate for phoenix.)
