A player wearing the Ghost hunter outfit.

Ghost hunter equipment is an experience-boosting set of hybrid armour that could be obtained from the 2014 Halloween event, or as a possible very rare drop from ghosts and ghostlike creatures, such as Mighty banshees, aberrant spectres, revenants, spiritual warriors, tortured souls and the Barrows Brothers.

It automatically adjusts to the highest-level tier the player can equip when worn, up to a maximum of level 50 for free players and level 70 for members. When a piece of equipment is equipped for the first time, it is accompanied by the message: The armour adapts to suit your current abilities.

During the 2014 event, it could be bought from Death as individual pieces. The full set cost 19,000 reward points.

This armour can be stored in the armour case of the POH when all four pieces are set to the same level.

If any piece is lost in the Wilderness or destroyed, the player will have to reobtain it by killing ghosts.

Ghost hunter equipment has a set bonus called Ghost Hunter:

  • Set bonus (1): Increases experience earned and damage dealt by 3% against any opponent that grants Prayer experience through an ectoplasmator.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Previously, if this armour was worn on member worlds at level 70, it would lock to that tier, making it unequippable on free worlds. After an update, it will now revert to level 50 when worn on free worlds and back to level 70 on member worlds.
