Slave hunters

Slave hunting is a well-established occupation in Ikaanos, providing the republic and the great houses with a constant stream of cheap workers. They're also a vital supplier for the growing entertaiment industry.

Slave hunters often work in unsion with slave trainers, hunting specific targets for a chosen patron. Certain landowning slave hunters also act as slave trainers as a way of cutting out the middleman.

Captured slaves

The MC and his crew are able to capture slaves in combat or through special quests/POIs. Captured enemies are called Shackled slaves before being processed at a market/home location.

The MC can hold a maximum of his Party (+1) shackled slaves. A lonely MC can thus hold two slaves before being forced to process them.

A combat enemy has to be Incapacitated in order to be claimed as a slave. Using certain weapons increases the chance of incapacitating an enemy while others, like coils or plasma rifles, almost guarantee that the enemy ends up dead.

Incapacitation chance

• Base: 5%
• Fists: +75%
• Whipping stick: +95%
• Combat staff: +80%
• Sledgehammer: +50%
• Knife/sword: +15%
• Firearms: -4%

The MC has the option to add Incapacitated slaves to his Shackled slave pool. Doing so consumes one unit of Rope. If he's out of ropes, he's unable to add more enemies to his Shackled slave pool.

Processing shackled slaves

The MC can inspect his wares more closely at a human goods market (or home) location. The following districts are counted as markets:

• Redhaven
• Watery Eyes
• Crystal Heights
• Preacher's Pond
