Power in Mistfall Hunter comes from a mix of talents, skills, and gear rather than a single track. Each of the six Classes builds toward its own style of fight, and the systems below are how you shape that. Several of these details come from pre-launch development notes, so treat exact numbers as build-dependent until the game ships.
Talents and skills
Builds draw on expansive talent trees alongside active skills. The developers frame this as a way to break free from rigid class restraints, letting a hunter lean into roles like assault, mobility, crowd control, or defense rather than being locked into one. Combined with the two-weapon stances from Combat and Weapons, the goal is broad build variety inside each class. The full talent layouts and skill lists were still being revealed and tuned in the pre-launch builds, so the specifics here may change.
Gem socketing
Gear customization runs on a gem socketing system that replaced an older random-affix approach. Affix Gems slot into equipment to grant their bonuses, with rules around gem type and level, and one wildcard socket that accepts a wider range. This shifts power-building toward deliberate gem choices instead of rerolling random rolls.
Gear rarities
Equipment comes in tiers of rarity. The confirmed tiers are listed below, topped by class-specific Legendary sets. Some of these high-end sets are described as Holy Relics or Holy Weapons and are tied to specific bosses or lore figures, such as the relic Absolution connected to the Blasphemer Yorol, covered on The World and Lore. The developers noted that several Legendary set names were tentative and subject to change.
Rarity | Notes |
|---|---|
Common | Base-tier equipment |
Refined | Improved over Common |
Excellent | Higher-grade gear |
Epic | Obtained via Equipment Vouchers |
Legendary | Class Holy Relic and Holy Weapon sets, some boss-linked |
Forging with the Spirit Blacksmith
Crafting and upgrading run through an NPC called the Spirit Blacksmith. Forging is time-based and happens using real-world time rather than costing Gyldenblood, and its speed is influenced by your camp building level. The Spirit Blacksmith also handles socketing and unsocketing gems.
Loadouts and Share Codes
A Loadout System lets you equip a full set of gear and gems with one click and save loadout profiles to swap between. Builds can be exported and imported through a Share Code, so players can pass complete setups to one another.
The camp and Scavenger Squad
Each player has a personal camp with upgradable buildings and NPCs, which the developers plan to expand across seasons. One camp feature is the Scavenger Squad, an idle, non-combat way to deploy units and gather resources, tied to your camp building levels. The camp is where your forging, storage, and other out-of-match systems live.
The player economy
Mistfall Hunter includes a player-driven Auction House where hunters buy and sell, with equipment and gems listed separately. Alongside the standard shared storage, the premium Pip's Pocket offers secure stash space. Together these let players trade the spoils they extract and bank rare finds between runs.
