- **Great Sword** — heavy area slashes: basic 1-2-3 combo with a knockback **finisher** + directional charged shockwaves.

## Armor and Abilities
Mix and match pieces — buffs **stack** and level up to **Lv 4**:
| Set | Identity |
|---|---|
| Leather Advanced | Balanced hunter gear |
| Bone Advanced | Stance, shields, bone-breaker |
| Albertosaurus | Hunger-powered regeneration |
| Velociraptor | Bleed, climbing claws, raptor essence, kinetic speed |
| Acuatic | Full water kit: breathing, mining, submarine, sea king… |
| Tylosaurus | Double levels, advanced knockout, extra health |
Highlights: **More Health, Better Potions, Strategic Retreat, Steady Stance, Better Shields, Bone Breaker, Advanced Knockout, Roar Resistance** (blocks wild roars by tier) and the full **aquatic suite**. Effects are removed when you unequip the piece; potion and beacon effects are left alone.
### How abilities stack and level up
Each armor piece and some weapons grant ability points (normally +1, a few grant +2, shown in the item tooltip as `+1` / `+2`). Points for the same ability from everything you wear **add up**. The effective maximum is **level 4** — wearing more pieces beyond that gives no extra benefit. Check your totals in the parchment menu under Analyze Equipment, or inspect each piece under Detailed Piece Analysis.
Example: Tylosaurus Helmet grants Roar Resistance II and More Health II. Adding Acuatic Chestplate (+1 Roar Resistance) brings Roar Resistance to level 3.

## Systems
- **Torpor & knockout** — weakness arrows or club to knock creatures out, then feed them.
- **Breeding & babies** — breed tamed pairs, reclaim grown babies.
- **Mission Board and parties** — see below.
- **Spyglass and genders** — see below.
- **Hunter points & ranks** — earn points hunting, climb 4 mission ranks.
### Missions and the Guild Master
The **Guild Master** is the NPC who hands out hunts. Talk to him to open the Mission Board, pick a rank (1 to 4 stars) and choose a mission: gathering, culling, or taming. Each mission shows what you need, the time limit, the entry cost in hunter points, and the reward.
Accepting a mission creates a **group** and opens its menu. Other players can join from their Current Mission menu while the group is waiting. The player who created it is the **admin**: they start the mission, remove players, or disband the group. A waiting group expires after 10 minutes without a start.
Once started, everyone shares one **progress pool** — any member's kills, gathers, or tames count for the whole group. If time runs out, the mission fails for all. On completion, every online member is paid separately with the quest-complete fanfare: emeralds, points, and items are **split equally per player**, with any remainder going to the admin.
Playing alone works the same way with a one-player group: full reward, same rules.
### Spyglass and genders
The **Spyglass** identifies any creature you aim at. The action bar shows its name and state (wild, tamed, knocked out, or taming), health, torpor progress, **gender (male or female)**, and taming progress while feeding.
Every creature is born male or female, and gender matters for **breeding**: only a tamed male-female pair can produce babies, which you then raise and reclaim as adults. Two tips shown in game: use weakness arrows to build torpor, and when a creature falls asleep from low health, crouch and keep your distance.
