Hunter gear

Hunter gear is armour made with furs obtained from catching creatures with tracking or pitfalls using the Hunter skill. It cannot be crafted by players, instead requiring the use of the Custom Fur Clothing interface at the Fancy Clothes Store in Varrock, Pellem's Fur Store in the Hunter Guild, or Prifddinas' Seamstress. It does not increase the chance of successfully catching creatures.^[1] It can provide warm clothing bonuses in Wintertodt.

Standing within line-of-sight of a trap was originally going to decrease the catch rate, while Hunter gear would partially counteract this effect.^[2] However, this feature was not present at launch due to the fact that the negative effect from standing near the trap would still have outweighed the positive effect from wearing hunter gear. Hunter gear was still released, but only for cosmetic purposes.^[1]
Both effects were very briefly enabled in Old School RuneScape at some point during 2013, but were reverted the same day following negative player feedback.^[3]

The original design was that you'd get a *negative* effect from standing within line-of-sight of the trap, mitigated by the camo kit, but that overall effect wasn't present on launch, and it's not especially desirable now."
^ Jagex. Mod Ash's Twitter account. 19 March 2021. Archived from the original on 14 April 2023. Mod Ash: "Actually, long ago we actually did enable both effects at the same time - very briefly. Players were pretty clear they didn't like it, and we took it back out. The negative effect is a LOT stronger than the positive. [(...) any idea when this test was, and for how long for?] Late 2013, I think. And we reverted it later the day of launch - from the point of view of every player who isn't accustomed to running behind a tree every time they set a trap, this change was extremely undesirable!"
