Hunters Guild

"Any adventurer can slay a monster, but only a hunter knows how to get decently paid for it." Common saying by hunters.
The Hunters Guild is an association that spans across the different shards. They employ licensed hunters and take on contracts specifically meant for the extermination of creatures and/or the procuring of reagents and ingredients. Depending on the threat level of the contract, which is decided by the creature, location and specifics of the request, only hunters of suitable grade are allowed to take a shot at it.
The guild has 6 levels of hunters:

• Dragon
• Vampire
• Giant
• Chimera
• Troll
• Goblin

A hunter works his way up through the successful completion of contracts and thus can take on the more lucrative ones, with the guild always taking a cut for the handling of the administrative and logistical parts.
