'''Tasks:''' Track down the elusive [[M400]]

This assignment consists of 10 tasks, which must be done in order.  The first nine tasks each collect a [[Piece of M400 Intel]], specifying a particular mouse, location, or both where the loot can be found.  Then, in the final task, the [[M400]] Mouse can finally be attracted in a specified location.  For the final task, the hunter must use a [[Physical]] or [[Tactical]] weapon while [[Fusion Fondue]] is armed, at which point only the [[M400]] will be attracted (even when the final task is in a location where Physical and Tactical traps normally have no effect).

"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.

Zurreal Research

This envelope contains an assignment to research a trap capable of capturing Zurreal the Eternal. The Trap's concept is simple: Tempt Zurreal close by displaying a collection of rare knowledge then drain all magical and electrical energy from the area to disable his walking throne. Although the design is straight forward, gathering the rare and unique items required will prove itself to be a challenge! Good luck brave hunter, the safety of the Crystal Library relies on your success!

Requirement: 900 Library Points

Zurreal Trap Research Assignment

Travel across the Kingdom in search of supplies to build a trap capable of disabling Zurreal the Eternal's walking throne long enough to capture him. Such a trap will need some very unique materials to draw all magical and electrical energy away from Zurreal while remaining powered itself.

Tasks: All ten of the following tasks

Note: Assignment progress will not be reset if it is smashed by the Hunter's Hammer, allowing hunters to complete another short assignment while waiting for the last Warp Nail from the Realm Ripper mouse.

History and Trivia

  • Library Assignments were first started and completed on 9 August 2011, the same day that the Crystal Library was released.
  • From 9 to 22 August 2011, the Zurreal Research envelope was not available, and instead gave the following message:
A vital section of the Library has been destroyed containing information about Zurreal the Eternal. Once the library has been repaired the King will allow hunters to start this research. Check back later.
This assignment cannot yet be started.
