Hunter Perks
Hunter Points are no longer spent unlocking tiers by rank — they go into the /hunter perk shop, where you buy and rank up 7 perks that make you a deadlier predator across The Hunt.
Open the shop with /hunter. The same menu holds the interactive tier selector covered in Hunt Tiers & Boss Essence, so you switch tiers and spend points from one place. Check where you stand with /huntertop.
The 7 perks
| Perk | Effect | Max |
|---|---|---|
| Hunter's Sight | Only you see nearby shades & wraiths outlined. | Single rank (toggle) |
| Hunter's Swiftness | +5% increased movement speed per rank while hunting the alignment zones. | 50% (10 ranks) |
| Hunter's Luck | +2% loot per rank. | 20% (10 ranks) |
| Hunter's Edge | +4% damage per rank. | 40% (10 ranks) |
| Hunter's Ward | +2% damage reduction per rank. | 20% (10 ranks) |
| Plunderer's Fortune | +1% double-drop chance per rank. | 10% (10 ranks) |
| Spectral Echo | +1% chance per rank to respawn a killed shade at the same tier. | 10% (10 ranks) |
Hunter's Sight is a single-rank toggle — once owned, it outlines nearby shades and wraiths for your eyes only. Everything else ranks up to ten times for a steadily climbing bonus.
The Talos Construct
Perks aren't the only thing Hunter Points buy. The Talos Construct is a bronze automaton that hunts bosses in your stead, online or offline — unlock it once in the Boss Shop at the boss hub for 5,000 Hunter Points, then manage it with /talos. It's account-bound and entirely virtual: there's no construct to place in your cell any more.
Each run costs a boss summoning key plus Ancient Energy — from 5,000 per run on Lamia up to 50,000 on Hephaestus — and either completes for a roll of that boss's loot or fails and burns the fuel anyway. It is deliberately worse than killing the boss yourself: runs are slow, completion is never free, and Talos loot ignores luck entirely (no LUCK stat, no RNG meter pity).
Two upgrade lines are bought with Hunter Points, 20 levels each:
| Upgrade | What it does |
|---|---|
| Speed | Shortens a run. Every boss bottoms out at a 15-minute run at max speed. |
| Completion | Raises the flat success chance, from 40% at level 0 to 80% maxed. |
The paid season pass grants a further +20% completion across levels 1, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50, stacked on top of the upgrade line — so maxed upgrades plus a fully claimed pass reach 100% on all four bosses. No boss carries a completion penalty any more; Thanatos and Hephaestus are no harder for Talos to finish than the others.
Which bosses it may hunt is not bought. Talos unlocks a boss once you have personally killed 50 of that boss, so it only ever automates a fight you've already solved.
Earning Hunter Points
Hunter Points drop from killing shades, wraiths, and bosses. The harder the target, the more you bank toward the next perk rank — and daily bonuses can pad your haul on a good day. For the rare Wraithheart Offhand and other high-tier rewards, climb your hunt tier first.
