The Varlamore expansion for Old School Runescape has brought new content for longtime fans to enjoy. One of the greatest additions is Hunter’s Rumours of the Hunter’s Guild, a new side activity that is more complex than it initially seems.

Old School Runescape: Hunter’s Rumours, explained

Hunter’s Rumours is a new side activity thatany player who has reached level 46 Huntercan enjoy. According to the officialOld School Runescape website, it becomes available “outside Civitas Illa Fortis, in the heart of the Avium Savannah.”

Your objective during a Hunter’s Rumour is totrack down and hunt a specific creature. The creature you are tasked to hunt down depends on the Rumour you select. It can be a creature you already encountered on your journey or one entirely new to the Varlamore expansion.

I’d say that Hunter’s Rumours are similar to the Slayer tasks and Farming Contracts that have been in Old School Runescape for a while, but some unique features make them different.

For example, here are some key points you must know about Hunter’s Rumours:

After selecting the Rumour that interests you, it’s time to set off and track down the creature. Your main objective is tograb a rare creature part from the animal you are huntingand give it to the Hunter who provided you with the Rumour.

Hunter’s Rumours rewards

Jagexmakes it clear that completing a Hunter Rumour will result invarious rewards,making them worth your effort and time. Below are all the known rewards you may receive when completing a Hunter’s Rumour in Old School Runescape

I recommend the new Hunter Skilling Outfit, as it provides the player with a+2.5% catch rate and a 5% increased chance to obtain a Rare Creature Part. In other words, it can greatly increase the player’s chances of doing well when completing a Hunter’s Rumour objective.
