Alright...I've been hearing a lot lately that the hunter skill has turned profitable. In terms of currency and just plain fun-ness of the skill. Discuss that here.


Honestly, I have no idea, so please do tell.

It depends on what hunter level you are. Red chinchompas are selling for 700gp - 720gp. So if you start catching them at 63, the level you need to catch these guys, and keep hunting them till level 99 you will end up with 47,796 Red chinchompas. So 47,796 x 700 = 33,457,200gp. So I would say profitable.

From what I know, red chins are the only good way to make money from hunter and they aren't very fast until at least 70+. They do start getting quite fast though. I'm 75 hunter and they are fairly quick. T-Ball might know more as he is 99 hunter.

Yes there are other things to catch outside of Red Chinchompas, but few of them are worth the trouble if it is gold you seek. Red Chinchompas are in high demand due to the fact that they can be an EXTREMELY good source of ranged experience for high level rangers. Other than Red Chinchompas, the only other hunting-related monster that can be deemed "profitable" would be the Dragon Impling, due to the fact that looting an impling can give you over 1m worth of items at a time, but they are for money making purposes only, they are not very good to level on because they take anywhere from half an hour to over an hour to respawn.
If you want money as well as exp, catch red chinchompas. If you just want exp, do red salamanders from 60 - 80, then red chinchompas 'til 99, or still do red chinchompas from 63-99, its a matter of personal preference (I did chins from 63-99 because I like money =P).
Red Chinchompa hunting can be slow at first (level 63), and they continue to be fairly slow until you hit level 70, when it starts to pick up a bit, and really gets faster at level 80 when you can set up 5 traps at a time. (From level 63-80 hunter makes you around 4.3m).
After you hit level 80, hunting red chinchompas becomes really easy, you have a fairly high catch rate, and you don't lose too many chinchompas, so you can easily make over 2m a day hunting red chins(depending on how much you play). Catching gets easier from levels 80-99, but it is not a huge difference.

After you hit level 83, you can either stick with hunting red chins for cash, or you could try your hand at catching dragon implings,(I personally have not tried just catching d-imps as a source of cash, so I wouldn't know if it is a good source of money, but I would assume it is).

Hope that helped =)
