Ultimate Tips to Success in Bounty Hunter
Pkdude’s tips and tricks to not fail pk in bounty hunter.
Hi everyone, I know you are wondering what this guide is about. It’s about Pking in bounty Hunter. I know we are all mad at Jagex for taking away PK and turn Runescape into ruinedscape.I’m one of the ones that are extremely ticked off because of this. PK is what I live for; I made tons of cash by Pking. It’s like a source to getting extremely rich. And JAGEX took it away .but they left us the second best thing bounty hunter. Well I’m going to teach you how to use these disadvantages to turn them into your advantage.
Rules of Bounty Hunter
- Every time you kill a random person that is not your target, you have a 180 second penalty. You may not leave the arena or use protect item prayer. Every time you pick up an item while in penalty your time limit resets.
- If you kill your target you will not get a penalty. Then the rules above will not apply.
Recent Updates
Jagex has improved the mini game so it is fair to the lower level players.
Here are the updates:
- Players can now use locate bounty at a magic level of 25.
- Players can not pile another player unless he/she is your target.
Well, enough about the rules and updates lets get to the main reason why I wrote this.
What Armor to Wear and What Items to Bring
Note: I did not make up the set names, The Pk champion of Runescape did. I simply used these names. So do not tell me these names are stupid. well honestly I think some are too.
Fighters
If you are a fighter you should wear the set True pk pure.
Requirements:
- level 40 attack
- level 40 ranged
- high level of strength
- At least level 25 magic
The set contains:
- Rune scimitar
- green dragon hide chaps
- any melee cape
- leather boots
- leather gloves
- amulet of strength
- Iron or steel armor set(kite shield, full helm, Platebody and legs)
Items in your inventory:
- 1 strength potion
- runes required for bounty locate
- 24 lobsters
Rangers
If you are a ranger you should wear the set Ranging skillage.
Requirements:
- At least 40 range
- At least 40 defense
- At least level 25 magic
The set contains:
- Maple longbow
- 200 steel arrows
- Green dragon hide set (Body, chaps and vambraces)
- Amulet of power
- Rune full helm
- green cape
Why Steel Arrows?
Well steel arrows are easy to get. You can get them by killing the zombies in the stronghold of security. And they are fairly strong. But of course you can use mithril or adamant arrows.
Items in your inventory:
- Runes needed for bounty locate
- 25 lobsters
Mage
If you are a mage you should wear the set Magician of death.
Requirements:
- Able to use fire bolt
- Can run very fast
- Fair level of defense
- Range level of 40
The set contains:
- Fire staff

- blue cape
- green dragon hide chaps
- Wooden or Anti-dragon Shield
Items in your inventory:
- 200 chaos runes
- 600 air runes
- runes that are required for bind
- 23 lobsters
Why do I need runes required for bind?
Well, because the mage has the least defense out of the three combat types.
So if you meet a fighter or a ranger that is not on your tail. You can bind them and run for your life!!!
Fighter Monk
If you are a fighter and you have high level of prayer then you should wear the set Prayer beast.
Requirements:
- At least level 43 prayer
- level 40 attack
- fair level of strength
The Set contains:
- Rune scimitar

Is This Just Full Rune?
That’s right it is full rune. You may think full rune is nothing, but that’s where you are wrong. If you where full rune and have a decent defense and prayer on, you will be virtually invincible. Why you say? Because In a free to play world people bring rune scimitars and they can barely even scratch rune when you have prayer on. Even if they have a high level of attack.
Tips on How to Win
For fighters
- If you have a ranger as a target. Run after him/her as fast as you can. drink your potion and hit them till they die.
- If you have a mage as a target.OMFG a MAGE!!!! Now you have 2 choices.
Choice 1:If you have a high level of defense(like 60 or above.)Turn on protection against magic on and run towards the mage to slash him/her open. If there are no other players around take of your plate body and legs for more magic protection.
Choice 2:You don’t have a very high level, and you think you might die. When the mage is firing at you turn on protection against magic and run for the exit as fast as your legs can carry you.
For rangers
- If you have a mage as a target you are in luck. When he/she fire at you. Fire back with your arrows and turn on eagle eye prayer. You will get a kill instantly.(unless they eat food)
- If you have a fighter as a target you have again 2 choices:
Choice1:If you have lots of prayer points left and lots of running energy left then you should make contact with the fighter at a distance. Keep shooting and turn on eagle eye for more accuracy. When they reach you turn protection against melee on immediately and get your food ready.
Choice2:The fighter is running after you and getting fairly close. You don’t have much arrows left, well then this is the time to run. Turn on prayer and dash for the nearest exit.
For mages
- If you have a fighter as a targetyou should run to a distance. Then turn on mystic might and fire maging at the fighter like crazy. When the fighter is at quite a close distance use bind and run far away. When you are in a safe distance again fire at the fighter. Do this repeatedly for best effect.
- If you have a ranger as a target you should run as fast as you can!!It’s not worth it, they have better armor and higher accuracy. Just bind them and run for the exit!
Offensive Language
People get this a lot, like me. When you use good Pking methods people say stuff like:
“pray noob”, ”omg safer”, ”cheap scape”.
The best thing to do is ignore these comments, Don’t talk back. Use the report abuse button instead, and Do not listen to them. They are just mad because you owning them!!!!
Liked it
Good Article, but u got the bounty locate magic lvl wrong. You need level 32 magic for Bounty Locate. Keep up the good work though! =)
~Windscar991~
yeah and you forgot to say the mage lvl for the pk master lol but good job
LOL
this is a really good article and it help me alot since i was very bad at pking now im pretty good =]
(my rs acc is called oatmeal evil) add me if u want.
dude nice guide you should make a p2p guide
I guess it’s pretty good, but im a member and the first time i went in with full rune/dds I was getting shot by arrows andthen i died becouse he g-mauled me. I’m gonna try again though maybe on a non-member world so yeah, cool
wud be better if u made a MEMBER BOUNTY HUNTER guide
what do you reccomend for a lv28 pure with 41 range and 25 mage?
An alright guide, but a ranger can also have 20 defense and a 60 range and still be less than 55 combat. Also, 40 defense is pointless since you need to finish dragon slayer too, and that ruins your stats. But good guide though except the information could be improved to make a better PKer…
yo, i got 60 fishing, 66 str, 45 def, 50 atk, 60 range, 61 hp, 47 prayer, 42 magic, 870k, and i bounty hunt like crazy. i got lots of stuff, but ppl keep killing me cuz i’m just lv 70. i got full rune, full addy, green d’hide, arrows, but i died just as i was about to leave! =’(
‘ello y’oreet?
I’m a member, level 89, 71 attack, 73 str, 70 def, 72 hp, 63 range, 53 mage, 11 summoning.
=Þ HOW SHOULD I PK?
nice guide
lol thats all good but as for people like 70 att def str range and mage if you attack people your level they waste you cause they only train 1 stat lol better just to make a pure for bounty
not bad, not bad you should make one for p2p but anyway pretty good guide =D
45 Range>
45 Mage>
35 Hitpoints>
30 Combat>……..Good for Pking?
i have range 27…magic 11….atc 45….str 47…..def 45….and my combat is 55
what you recomend (i cant lv up nothing becouse i will have 56 combat….)
hmmm sounds good i would not go with that guide i was a level 55 with 40 attack 99 str and 1 def and ecverything esle 1 what are you teaching them to be a def noob -zezima-mistrq
Nice guide ,but im lvl 55 with lvl 40att and 68str and all my other combat stats are 1.Prayer also doesnt help very much for you.You should do dragon slayer with like lvl 1 def then u could increase ur def to 40.but wats the point?Im not a def noob.qn3rj
i am cb 74 with 68 str ,54 att ,55 def ,61 hits,40 range and 45 mage n 38 prayer. i am in f2p,how is my stats?????????i also have full rune t and 700k
this is pretty good but you got some things wrong and you should tell where to get the armour so keep up the good work!
this guides a bit of man whyd anyone want defence 4 pking ud get owned by actual pures eg ones at 52cmbt wif 72 range and 70 mage instead of 60 range and 40 def so get it right man
Mage owns actually. Fighters are nothing in front of us.
Anyway it is a good guide and thanks for your effort.
nice, but please make MEMBER bh guide thank you :]
Lotta spelling mistakes, should clean that up.
Nice guide, but requires a bit of a more info. Other than that, good job.
