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). Each hunter can only have at most one assignment at any point of time. Research tasks may be completed in any order, with the exception of Mystic/Technic King Research Assignment, Mystic/Technic Amplifier Research and Acrostic Research Assignment. It is possible to complete two research tasks in one hunt if both 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. 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 unable to start any new assignments for one hour, starting from the time the previous assignment was assigned.
