The Mistwood Hunters are Hostile poachers who tear through the Wayward Woods in pursuit of woodland spirits. Because the woods are rarely travelled by outsiders, their spirits became objects of curiosity and, in turn, a source of high-value trade. The Hunters turn that curiosity into coin by hunting anything that moves, which has thrown the order of the forest into chaos and forced the Longleaf Tribe to deal with the disruption as best they can.
The faction's huntmaster is Moren, the Mistwood Huntmaster, a two-stage boss with a noticeably harder second phase. He appears as the target of the Longleaf Tribe faction quest The Sport Hunter, and clearing the fight rewards Pailunese Contribution, the Icicle Edge Alpine Ibex Horn that unlocks the Icicle Edge Alpine Ibex mount, and an Abyss Artifact.
Longleaf Tribe - tribe suffering from the hunters' poaching.
Icicle Edge Alpine Ibex - legendary mount from defeating Moren.
Pailunese Contribution - reputation currency awarded.
Abyss Artifact - quest reward type.
Pailune - region the Hunters operate in.
Hostile factions sit below Neutral in the game's five-tier reputation ladder, which runs War, Hostile, Neutral, Friendly, and Alliance. Groups at War or Hostile attack on sight and impose reputation penalties for entering their territory, which means the usual way to interact with this faction is through combat, bounty hunting, and the clear-the-stronghold style of faction quest. Reputation can still shift if the player completes specific story objectives that strike at the faction's leadership or disrupt their operations.
