Dual-track progression: Hunter Rank and Appraisal Level

Hunter Rank (HR)

An independent growth rank that provides base stat bonuses. Not capped by Appraisal Level, but gains are linear. You can earn roughly 1200 XP per day by spending Character Pixels, making it a stable source of progression.

đź’ˇ Efficiency Tips

  • • Make sure all Character Pixels are spent before logging out—this is the most commonly missed XP source.
  • • City Tycoon ranks up very quickly early on. Prioritize commercial facilities with fast returns.
  • • When you hit a level lock, don't grind HR XP blindly. Go back and finish side quests, exploration, and collections.
  • • Group up for Anomalous Zones—some zones grant a party bonus.
