Impling netting

A player attempts to catch a gourmet impling

Impling netting is the method used to catch implings. It requires 17 Hunter and is quite similar to butterfly netting. In Puro-Puro, a butterfly net and empty impling jars are required to catch implings; the magic butterfly net and higher Hunter and Agility levels will increase chances of success.

Imp repellent may also be carried to prevent implings from pickpocketing you and freeing any implings caught in jars in your inventory.

Barehanded catching

With the Impetuous Impulses improvement on 22 February 2010, it is possible to catch implings found in Gielinor barehanded, as long as the player has the required Hunter level. The player will be awarded more experience points and will loot the impling directly. Higher Agility gives the player a higher chance of success of catching the impling.
