Hunting
Type	Combat skill
Trained By	Killing assigned monsters
Time Limit	12 hours per task
Key Item	Hunting Mask

Hunting is a Combat-related skill in FlatMMO. Players are assigned a specific monster to kill a set number of times within a 12-hour time limit. Each kill during a hunt grants Hunting XP, and completing the hunt awards a random bonus of additional Hunting XP along with Hunting Points that can be spent on permanent upgrades.

There is a rare chance (approximately 1/10,000) that a hunt target will drop a Hunting Mask, which is required for an Achievement.

For detailed hunting data, see the official Hunting data page.

How to Start

To begin a Monster Hunt, click the Stats button and select the Hunting skill. A prompt will appear asking if you want to start the hunt, showing which monster to kill and how many kills are needed.

If the timer runs out before the hunt is complete, the Monster Hunt ends. You may continue killing the assigned monster for XP, or choose to reroll into a different target.

During an active hunt, a tracker appears in the top-left corner of the screen showing the target creature, your current kill count, and how many kills remain.

Hunting Masks

Hunting Masks are rare drops from hunt target monsters (approximately 1/10,000 drop rate). They are worn in the head slot and provide bonuses only during active hunts.

Name	Picture	Effect
Hunting Mask		Double loot drops from hunt monsters
Melee Hunting Mask		+15% Melee Damage during a hunt
Archery Hunting Mask		+15% Archery Damage during a hunt
Magic Hunting Mask		+15% Magic Damage during a hunt
Gold Hunting Mask		Combines all mask abilities during a hunt

The Gold Hunting Mask is the best-in-slot hunting mask, combining the double loot and +15% damage bonuses for all three combat styles into a single item.

Tips

• Wear a Hunting Mask for double loot - the Gold Hunting Mask is the ultimate upgrade if you can get one.
• Double Kill is one of the most impactful upgrades - it effectively halves every hunt.
• Half Count works on any monster, not just your target. This means grinding in a crowded area can passively complete hunts.
• The Skipper → Skippy → Skippo upgrades stack, giving you 3 free rerolls per day at max investment.
• Bring food and good equipment - the 12-hour timer is generous, but higher damage means faster hunts.
