OSRS pyre foxes money making guide 2026: 1.6M GP/hr hunting method
Hunting pyre foxes is a Hunter money-making method that the OSRS wiki estimates at about 1,629,311 GP per hour (after tax). You need 57 Hunter and the Children of the Sun quest to access the method. You set deadfall traps in the middle of Avium Savannah, chop the surrounding trees for logs to craft replacement traps, and catch pyre foxes for their fur and raw meat. Recommended extras are large fur and meat pouches, a log basket, Kandarin headgear, a bonecrusher, a jerboa tail and a ring of dueling. The profit comes from the pyre fox fur sold on the Grand Exchange; the raw meat is a smaller secondary drop. Like all wiki profit estimates, the number moves with market prices, but pyre foxes sit at the top end of Hunter money makers.
Key takeaways

What you need
The method needs 57 Hunter and completion of the Children of the Sun quest. The quest gives you access to Avium Savannah, where the pyre foxes spawn, and is a Sailing-era quest line requirement for several Varlamore-area activities.
For gear you want a knife or fletching knife and any axe: the axe chops the trees for logs and the knife crafts them into deadfall traps. The recommended extras are large fur and meat pouches so you can stack more catches between banking trips, a log basket, Kandarin headgear for its hunter bonus, a bonecrusher for the bone drops, a jerboa tail for its prayer bonus, and a ring of dueling for fast banking.
- 57 Hunter (required).
- Children of the Sun quest completed.
- Knife or fletching knife + any axe (traps).
- Optional: large fur/meat pouches, log basket, Kandarin headgear, bonecrusher, jerboa tail, ring of dueling.
- 54 Magic for the Civitas illa Fortis teleport (optional, speeds up travel).
The hunting loop
The loop is simple once you are set up. You place deadfall traps in the middle of Avium Savannah where the pyre foxes roam, then wait for them to walk into the traps. Each successful catch gives you pyre fox fur and raw meat.
Traps degrade with use, so you periodically chop the surrounding trees for logs and use your knife to craft fresh deadfall traps on the spot. This keeps you self-sufficient at the hunting ground instead of having to bank for supplies.
The profit
The OSRS wiki's money making page estimates hunting pyre foxes at roughly 1,629,311 GP per hour after tax. The bulk of that value is the pyre fox fur, which sells on the Grand Exchange; the raw meat is a smaller secondary drop.
The exact figure depends on current GE prices, so treat it as a target rather than a guarantee. Compared with other Hunter money makers and the skill-training alternatives covered in our Hunter training guide, pyre foxes are a strong profit option once you have the quest and level unlocked.
