Hunting is a Combat-related skill in FlatMMO. Players are assigned a specific monster to kill a set number of times within a 4-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. In an update posted on Oct 2, 2025 it was made no longer possible to get the same hunting task twice in a row, this seems to include Bosses even with the Boss Hunt perk activated.

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
Possessed Hunting Mask		Increases your Combat Damage by 30% and doubles drops during a hunt

The Possessed Hunting Mask is the best-in-slot hunting mask, combining the double loot and +30% damage bonuses for all three combat styles into a single item. To Craft this you will need level 90 Crafting, the other Gold Hunting Mask, and a Possessed Hunters Feather.

Mask Conversion

You can trade 2 of any mask and 500,000 Stardust for any other mask (except Gold Hunting Mask and Possessed Hunting Mask) in the basement at the Badge Maker in Mystic Vale

Shiny Monsters

Shiny Monsters are monsters that spawn only 1% of the time while Hunting. You can start spawning Shiny Monsters after you buy the Perk for 1,500 Hunting Points. When you spawn a Shiny Monster, you will hear a unique Sound.

An example of someone getting a shiny monster.

Shiny Monster stats are heavily boosted, gaining 4x more Health in return for 5x more Loot Rolls, and a chance to get 3 Unique Items. The Unique items are Shiny Glass Orb Shiny Boss Glass Orb and the Possessed Hunters Feather

Note: When you kill a shiny monster, you dont get 5x the LOOT, you get an added 5+ LOOT ROLLS., similar to how Chest Loot is calculated.

Recommended Upgrade Order

Priority	Upgrade	Why
1	Skipper (150)	Cheap reroll lets you avoid bad tasks early
2	Feeding the Dead (300)	Passive Worship XP from every hunt
3	Double Kill (500)	Halves the time to complete any hunt
4	Death Brings to Light (750)	Good if you want to save food, but if you have plenty you can skip it
5+	Half Count/Aggression/Skips/Boss Hunt	Based on preference

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 is very useful on monsters that have good drops, or in combination with Feeding The Dead to maximize rewards.
• The Skipper → Skippy → Skippo upgrades stack, giving you 3 free rerolls per day at max investment.
• Bring food, potions and good equipment - the 4-hour timer is generous, but higher damage means faster hunts.
