Raging Echoes Hunter Rumours Guide

List of rumours
Players can choose four tiers of rumours, with each having their own unboostable Hunter level requirements:
| Tier | Level | Guild Hunter |
|---|---|---|
| Novice | Huntmaster Gilman | |
| Adept | Guild Hunter Cervus or Guild Hunter Ornus | |
| Expert | Guild Hunter Aco or Guild Hunter Teco | |
| Master | Guild Hunter Wolf |
There are a few things to note:
- Huntmaster Gilman (Novice) is able to give all rumours.
- Guild Hunter Cervus and Ornus are both adept hunters, but have their own distinct list of rumours.
- Guild Hunter Aco and Teco are both expert hunters, but have their own distinct list of rumours.
- Pending tasks: Players who received a now removed task (notably Pyre foxes and Razorbacked kebbits) before the 15 May 2024 update can still get these tasks if they did not complete the rumour. Players will not receive these tasks after resetting tasks with Gilman or completing the task in question.
Drop rates
The rate of rare creature parts are dependent on the type of hunting method used. To prevent players from being excessively unlucky while investigating rumours, a "pity threshold" exists for them in which the player is guaranteed to receive a "pity drop" after hunting a set amount of creatures; this threshold is slightly lower if wearing the guild hunter outfit. Additionally, if the player's inventory is full, the rare creature part will be dropped on the ground; however, if the part is received as a pity drop, it will be destroyed, requiring players to free up enough space to receive it on their next catch. This is an intentional mechanic to prevent abusing the pity drop system.
Having a rare part in your inventory prevents you from obtaining another, even if it is a different type of rare part. However, if you are hunting for your next rumour (with an extra rare part in your inventory) your successful hunts will still count toward the "pity threshold", i.e. once the threshold is hit, you will receive the rare part as long as you destroy the rare part from your previous rumour. This means that hunting while in possession of an excess rare part isn't a complete waste, although it is still not ideal. As such, if you are not paying attention and end up getting duplicate rare parts (say, at butterflies with an inventory of jars) on the ground, keeping one (picking one up after starting your next rumour) is not helpful unless you get the same rumour back to back.
