### **Who are Hunters?**

Hunters have wide knowledge and a higher exercise capacity compared to a normal person, so this is a field of work not too many people can take part in.

### **Hunter Ranks**

There three different ranks for hunters: Low Rank, High Rank, and Master Rank.

**Low Rank**

Low Rank hunters are the most common of hunters. These ranked hunters don't hunt very strong monster individuals and do different types of quest besides hunting, such as tasks around their settlement and assisting the public.

**High Rank**

High Rank hunters are truly observed by the Hunter's Guild. They do a lot more quests that involve hunting, including quests that require special permits, such as escorting clients through dangerous areas. High Rank Hunters not only hunt strong monster individuals but also Subspecies and Rare Species.

**Master Rank**

Master Rank hunters are the rarest hunters. These hunters were able to slay either an Elder Dragon or an Elder Dragon-Level Monster, becoming recognized by not only the Hunter's Guild but also all districts of it. These hunters hunt the most dangerous of monsters, including some newer species, while searching for unidentified species that have been reported. Only a small number of Master Rank Hunters actually exist in the world.
