Hunting vs. PVP
Hunting is one of the two ways in Legacy to level up. The other way is Player vs. Player (PVP), which is quite different in many ways:
- Hunting costs credits. PVP is free.
- In addition to experience points, hunting certain NPCs can net you drops (such as a Flamethrower); however, you cannot earn reputation from hunting like you do in PvP.
- Hunting NPCs (non-playable characters, used to describe the enemies you hunt) can last forever as there is no end to the amount of NPCs (though special characters may only be hunted once per week), while attacking players is temporary. You can only attack a specific player once per day, and once you have killed a player, they don't come back as NPCs do.
In addition, there are two different types of hunting; NPC hunting and Special Character hunting.
Hunting History
Hunting was first created by Zorg in order for lower-leveled players with saved up money to be able to make use of the money. Awhile back, hunting was used heavily along with Double EXP to take advantage of the Double EXP weekend. This way, not only could players net a sometimes jaw-dropping amount of EXP with saved Credits, they could also snag a few drops if they were lucky (The chance of a NPC drop is very low). However, recently, Zorg has decided that the players saving tons of Credits up and then leveling way ahead of PVP-ers was not the way the game was supposed to be. So he removed Double EXP and changed Hunting to give only 80% EXP what PVP would give, and increased the daily revives from 2 to 4 in order to increase PVP traffic. A few weeks after the EXP levels were dropped to 80% they were returned to 100% again, and the cost of hunting was dropped by 5c at every level. This means that hunting Sewer Rats is now free.
Today, hunting is still widely used for leveling up, although not as much as before.
Hunting Points
Each time you hunt an NPC/Special Character within 5 levels of you, you get Hunting Points. Hunting points add up weekly and if you are in the top 10 Hunting Points for that week, then you get a badge on your profile for that week and a permanent banner in your profiles honors.
Hunting points are listed in with the hunting NPC's below.

Hunting NPCs
There currently are 11 possible types of NPCs to hunt; mostly in level increments of 5. All of the NPCs can also drop health items such as: Antibiotics, Small Medicine, Large Medicine, First Aid Kits and Revive Kits. For more information about hunting drops, see the hunting drops page. Every NPC in the same group have the same drop rate.
Note: Hunting drops chance decrease 10x if you are 10 levels or higher than the NPC you are hunting; this DOES NOT apply to Special Characters.

Hunting Special Characters
In addition to hunting groups, you can also hunt special characters. You can only hunt these characters once every 7 days, and if you do not kill them in the fight, they immediately heal back to full health (so you cannot wear them down). Special characters are specific for everyone, meaning that even though your friend defeated one 5 minutes ago, you can still fight that character. Drop percentages have been decreased accordingly since more of the Special Characters will be defeated everyday.
Note: The drops listed are not necessarily all the drops possible. They will also commonly drop health items like Revives Kits, Large Medicines, First Aid Kits, etc. just like normal NPCs.
Note: All special NPCs from level 50 - 80 (Seraph, Cerb, Guardian: X-1025, and Tyran; excluding Shadow Hunter SPNCs) have a chance to drop a Chaos Armor; this chance increases as the level of the NPC increases. Therefore, Seraph has the lowest chance of dropping a Chaos Armor, while Tyran has the highest chance.
Note: The ability Fast Recovery reduces the wait to hunt special NPCs by 24 hours. This brings the wait down to 6 days, rather than the usual 7. The Hunting Boost, found in the Boosts section of the Platinum Store, reduces the wait to hunt Special NPCs by 24 hours. This, combined with the Fast Recovery ability, allows you to hunt Special NPCs every 5 days.
