Blocklist
The Hunter Guild contains several Hunter Masters who give assignments (think Slayer Tasks). You can only hunt a specific animal for one Hunter Master at a time. If lower-tier Masters have already assigned you all of these animals: Dashing kebbit, Tecu salamander, Red chinchompa, Red salamander and Herbiboar, then Guild Hunter Wolf can only assign you Moonlight Moths, Sunlight Antelopes or Moonlight Antelopes.
REQUIRED BLOCKS:
Gilman: Herbiboar OR Dashing kebbit
Cervus: Red chinchompa
Ornus: Red salamander
Teco: Dashing kebbit OR Herbiboar
Aco: Tecu salamander
Tips:
BE CAREFUL, GILMAN CAN OFFER TO RESET ALL OF YOUR BLOCKS!
IF YOU ASK FOR A "NEW ONE ENTIRELY" FROM GILMAN ALL OF YOUR BLOCKS WILL BE RESET!
If you're building a new account and planning to use this script later, block a lower-tier Hunter Master as early as possible. You can only be assigned animals that match your current Hunter level.
Avoid completing Eagles' Peak until you're ready to start Master tier Rumours. Without this quest completed, you won't be assigned any box trap animals.
Kyatt armor lowers the damage dealt by the pitfall animals by a flat amount.
My Personal Path:
Starting at Level 69 Hunter
1. Complete Cervus tasks until he assigns Red chinchompas (IF EAGLES PEAK DONE)
2. Complete Ornus tasks until he assigns Red salamanders
3. Complete Gilman tasks until he assigns Dashing kebbits
4. Level to 80 Hunter
5. Complete Teco tasks until he assigns Herbiboar
6. Level to 81 Hunter
7. Complete Aco tasks until he assigns Tecu salamander
8. Complete Eagles Peak if not done already
9. Complete Cervus tasks until he assigns Red chinchompas
