Library Assignment

"Research" redirects here. For other uses, see looted research.

A Library Assignment is a set of research tasks that Lords/Ladies (and above) with access to the Crystal Library can do to help recover Zugzwang's hunting research, before they get destroyed by Zurreal's army of inorganic magical-tech mice.

To start an assignment, hunter's must travel to the Crystal Library and click on the brown "Get Assignment" button on the heads-up display (HUD). Opening an assignment envelope requires a minimum number of library points, and each envelope contains between one and three related assignments, where only one will be randomly selected. Each hunter can only have at most one assignment at any point of time, which will show up on their Special tab. The assignment tasks are either listed above the trap setup image in the old style layout, or on the quests tab on the new style (Freshcoat) layout.

Research tasks may be completed in any order, with the exception of Mystic/Technic King Assignments, Mystic/Technic Amplifier Assignments, M400 Hunting Research Assignment, and Acrostic Research Assignment. It is possible to complete multiple research tasks in a hunt if the requirements are fulfilled. Completing assignments will earn hunters rewards based on the assignment carried out, along with Library Points which are required to start more advanced assignments. These rewards include a Tome of Wisdom which can be opened for further points towards rank advancement, if the hunter does not already have too many in their inventory. Additionally, a completed assignment is logged in the Hunter's Journal, and provides the hunter an opportunity to share a Luck Charm with friends.

Hunters can choose to terminate an assignment prematurely by smashing it with their Hunter's Hammer. However, they will be only be able to start a new assignment one hour after smashing.
