'''Hunter's Titles''' are indicators of experience and seniority in MouseHunt. As [[hunter]]s catch more mice, they become more experienced, based on the quality and quantity of [[mice]] caught. More experienced hunters gain access to new [[Location|area]]s (with the appropriate [[Maps and Keys]]) and become more effective at [[crafting]] and using [[potion]]s.

'''Hunter's Titles''' are indicators of experience and seniority in MouseHunt. As [[Hunter]]s acquire more [[Wisdom]], they gain access to new [[Location|area]]s (with the appropriate [[Maps and Keys]]) and become more effective at [[Crafting]] and using [[Potion]]s. '''Hunters''' can also use a greater variety of [[Trap]] components as they advance through '''Hunter's Titles'''.

 +
A common misconception is that a '''Hunter's Title''' is determined by the number of [[Points]] a [[Hunter]] has: '''Points''' are actually mainly used to determine a '''Hunter's''' rank on the [[Scoreboard]], with the exception of some [[Weapon]] requirements (see [[#History and Trivia|History and Trivia]] section below).

== Title Advancement ==
Hunters advance through each title from going on hunts and [[trap check]]s. The higher a hunter's title, the longer it takes to advance to the next title for the same mice caught. Every hunt gives some base progress, which is slightly more in an active hunt (own [[Hunter's Horn|horn]]) than a passive hunt ([[trap check]] or friend's horn). This base progress is always made even for unsuccessful hunts — that is, when a mouse is not attracted or when one steals points or cheese. If one catches a mouse, additional progress is made based on the breed of mouse caught. The additional progress and [[points]] of the mouse caught are somewhat correlated, although not perfectly. For example, the same chess piece from opposing sides of [[Wizard's Pieces]] have different points but award the same title advancement upon capture.

Hunters advance through each title through acquiring [[Wisdom]]: the higher a hunter's title, the more '''Wisdom''' is required to progress to the next title. The primary method of acquiring '''Wisdom''' is through hunting: every hunt gives some base '''Wisdom''', with active (own [[Hunter's Horn|horn]]) hunts giving slightly more than passive ([[trap check]] or friend's horn) hunts. This base '''Wisdom''' is acquired even during unsuccessful hunts where a mouse is not attracted or when one steals points or cheese. If one catches a mouse, additional '''Wisdom''' is acquired based on the mouse caught. The additional '''Wisdom''' and the mouse's [[points]] are somewhat correlated, although not perfectly: for example, the same chess piece from opposing sides of [[Wizard's Pieces]] have different points but award the same '''Wisdom''' upon capture.
  
Opening a [[Tome of Wisdom]] also contributes to title advancement, but not the bonus points earned through [[Lab Research]], [[Acolyte Relic]]s etc. Claiming [[Adventure Book]] rewards also contribute to advancement.
+
Besides catching mice, opening a [[Tome of Wisdom]] or claiming an [[Adventure Book]] reward will also grant '''Wisdom'''.
  
Upon reaching the next title, a message will appear on the [[Hunter's Journal]] notifying the hunter on the new title. Hunters will also receive rewards depending on the title attained. In addition, hunters can also share 1 [[King's Credits|King's Credit]] each with 3 friends by publishing it to their news feed.

Revision as of 15:39, 27 August 2022

Hunter's Titles are indicators of experience and seniority in MouseHunt. As Hunters acquire more Wisdom, they gain access to new areas (with the appropriate Maps and Keys) and become more effective at Crafting and using Potions. Hunters can also use a greater variety of Trap components as they advance through Hunter's Titles.

A common misconception is that a Hunter's Title is determined by the number of Points a Hunter has: Points are actually mainly used to determine a Hunter's rank on the Scoreboard, with the exception of some Weapon requirements (see History and Trivia section below).

Note:

  • The in-game count does not distinguish between normal and twisted realm while the above table does count the twisted locations.
  • The Toxic Spill severity level restricts which ranks may enter it. The lowest possible rank that may enter the Toxic Spill is Hero. The location counts above include the Toxic Spill for ranks for Hero and greater.

Title Advancement

Hunters advance through each title through acquiring Wisdom: the higher a hunter's title, the more Wisdom is required to progress to the next title. The primary method of acquiring Wisdom is through hunting: every hunt gives some base Wisdom, with active (own horn) hunts giving slightly more than passive (trap check or friend's horn) hunts. This base Wisdom is acquired even during unsuccessful hunts where a mouse is not attracted or when one steals points or cheese. If one catches a mouse, additional Wisdom is acquired based on the mouse caught. The additional Wisdom and the mouse's points are somewhat correlated, although not perfectly: for example, the same chess piece from opposing sides of Wizard's Pieces have different points but award the same Wisdom upon capture.

Besides catching mice, opening a Tome of Wisdom or claiming an Adventure Book reward will also grant Wisdom.

Upon reaching the next title, a message will appear on the Hunter's Journal notifying the hunter on the new title. Hunters will also receive rewards depending on the title attained. In addition, hunters can also share 1 King's Credit each with 3 friends by publishing it to their news feed.

History and Trivia

  • Before 30 June 2010, the Recruit and Initiate titles did not exist. The old Novice was split into Novice and Recruit, and the old Apprentice was split into Apprentice and Initiate.
  • Previously, the shield images of Lady, Baroness, and Countess had a pink outline instead of the blue outline of their male and unidentified gender equivalents. In all other ways, these shields were the same.
  • Duchess was originally spelled as Dutchess. The devs changed this on 12 October 2010, only a few hours after the title was introduced.
  • Grand Duchess was originally spelled as Grand Dutchess. It was changed on 5 July 2011, approximately ten days after the title was received.
  • 29 August 2017: Viceroy, Elder, and Sage ranks were established. The ranking system underwent an overhaul that saw some Hunters receive a boost in rank advancement.
  • 17 October 2018, Trap components were changed to have a minimum title requirement instead of a minimum points requirement, except for Timesplit Dissonance Trap (and its upgrades Celestial Dissonance Trap & Chrome Celestial Dissonance Trap), which has both a minimum title requirement and a minimum points requirement.
  • The Fabled rank was revealed when the first hunter ranked up from Sage and is currently the highest title available to Hunters. At that rank, Hunters no longer make any progress towards the next rank: the phrase MAX TITLE is indicated in the progress bar and the Hunter perpetually remains at 0% Fabled.
