Surveying and tracking

1. A hunt starts with surveys, one every Survey interval. Each finds tracks with Tracking success chance; the third survey always does.
2. Surveys pay each Surveying products entry that succeeds, doubled with Output Doubling Chance, until one is found; none is paid again before the next catch.
3. Tracking takes a number of steps drawn uniformly from Tracking steps, or four times its maximum while the animal is undiscovered. Each step takes a uniform time within Tracking interval and pays the animal's journal tracking XP once it is discovered.
4. While two or more steps remain, Skip Tracking Step chance counts a step twice.

Trapping

1. When trapping begins, a rare species is rolled once with Rare species chance.
2. Each attempt takes a uniform time within Trapping interval, uses one trap unless Input Preservation Chance keeps it, uses one preferred bait while baiting is on, and succeeds with Trapping success chance.
3. A failure adds the trap's fail bonus once more. Unless Trapping Reattempt Chance lets the next attempt follow at once, the hunt goes back to tracking for the minimum of Tracking steps more steps.
4. A catch records a size and a weight, each its average × a uniform factor from 0.5 + L ÷ 100 to 1.3 + L ÷ 100 at journal level L. The stat percentage is the mean of the two factors.
5. Each Products entry that succeeds pays max(1, quantity × stat percentage), doubled with Output Doubling Chance and again for a rare species, rounded down; a rare species adds its extra products.
6. The catch pays XP × stat percentage, and the journal gains the animal's trapping XP.
7. The catch grade is P from 1.499, S+ from 1.4, S from 1.3, A from 1.15, B from 1, C from 0.8, D from 0.6 and E from 0.505 stat percentage.

Guild points

1. Each completed task adds its category's base points to its skill's guild; a task that stops being complete takes them back.
2. A skill's total points are the base points of every task it lists. A rank is reached at ceil(total × the rank's point percent) points.

Prayer XP

1. While any prayer is active, each of your hits that deals damage pays XP from Base experience, with that hit's damage and the summed base cost of the active prayers.
