The hunter's spear is a thrown weapon that requires level 55 Ranged and 30 Strength to equip. Compared to other ranged weapons, the player's melee strength bonuses are used when determining the amount of ranged damage dealt to a target. Ava's devices do work on these.

The hunter's spear when equipped also acts like a teasing stick and provides a 5% increased chance for teased creatures to walk into a pitfall trap.[1] The spear must be equipped before being able to tease creatures. Teasing creatures does not consume the spear. Despite being a thrown weapon, it cannot be used to tease creatures from a distance, though it may be used to hunt stymphikes in place of makeshift spears (although it seems Ava's devices do not work while hunting stymphikes). The hunter's spear can be stored in the Huntsman's kit.

Additionally, it will not be consumed when attacking chinchompas to speed up and reset their spawns when Hunting.

The item no longer uses charges against chinchompas.

Trivia

  • The weapon resembles the historic tepoztopilli used by the Aztec military.
  • Despite the examine text, the item can only be used as a ranged weapon during combat, and not a melee weapon. The examine text likely refers to its use as an alternative for a teasing stick.
