Free-to-play Revenant hunting guide

Killing revenants is a challenging and difficult task. Most players choose not to kill revenants as it is very dangerous and often does not give a suitable reward, but others like to kill them for the fun and glory. Before going out to kill one, prepare yourself so you don't suffer a quick and painful death.

About Revenants
Revenants are undead creatures that patrol the wilderness. They were thought to have been slain in the god wars, but their angry souls live on. See revenants for more information.

Locations
Revenants patrol every corner of the wilderness, but some locations tend to attract more revenants.

Demonic Ruins
This is a very popular spot for small revenant hunting clans because this area is multi-combat and contains greater demons to keep players entertained. The walls here are useful to hide from revenants for a short time while the player prepares him/herself.

The most common revenants to show up here are:
 * Revenant Hobgoblin
 * Revenant Vampire
 * Revenant Werewolf*
 * Revenant Ork*
 * Revenant Knight*

*These revenants often show up in pairs.

Chaos Temple(hut)
This temple resides in level 38 wilderness. Although the area is not multi-combat, the temple itself is. Clans often hunt revenants here because there is an altar nearby for them to recharge their prayer points. A common tactic is to have the clan send out several scouts to lure a revenant inside the altar so they can pile it together.

The most common revenants to show up here are:
 * Revenant Hobgoblin
 * Revenant Ork
 * Revenant Knight

BEWARE! Hiding in the altar is not completely safe. Revenants may spawn inside the altar and attack you!

Woods
The woods south-east of clan wars is a seldom visited spot, but rarer revenants have been sighted here, including:
 * Revenant Imp
 * Revenant Goblin
 * Revenant Hobgoblin
 * Revenant Cyclops
 * Revenant Hellhound
 * Revenant Demon

This place is NOT recommended for revenant killing because revenants here have a good chance of teleporting away.

East of Clan Wars
This area, east of the clan wars arena, stretches from level 18 to level 38 wilderness. It is a common hotspot for revenants. Revenant here will rarely teleport away, but instead pursue you for a long distance. There is also a fishing spot here, but is frequently visited by revenants. Most revenants here travel to and fro from demonic ruins.

Sighted revenants:
 * Revenant Imp (often in groups of three)
 * Revenant Pyrefiend (near green dragons for P2P)
 * Revenant Hobgoblin
 * Revenant Vampire
 * Revenant Werewolf
 * Revenant Hellhound (near green dragons for P2P)
 * Revenant Ork
 * Revenant Knight

Bandit Camp
This place is like a safer version of demonic ruins because it is in lower level wilderness. There are several buildings that you can hide in (or out if the revenants happens to get in) and you can just shut the door on them. This place is multi-combat, with bandits that will attack you.

Revenants:
 * Revenant Pyrefiend
 * Revenant Vampire
 * Revenant Ork

Wilderness Skeleton Mine
This mine is a hot-spot for revenants, and you can mine ores or kill the skeletons if you're bored. Unfortunately, this is only level 9 wilderness so you can only kill one or two different kinds of revenants.

Revenants that come here:
 * Revenant Imp
 * Revenant Cyclops
 * Revenant Ork
 * Revenant Dark Beast
 * Revenant Dragon

Western Ruins
All revenants respawn here, and extremely often! While fighting a revenant, 60% of the time, the player will be intercepted by another revenant while the first one is eating, and 70% of the time, the revenant will teleport. Fighting revenants here is not recommended as their is a low chance of successfully killing it.
