Hunts



Hunting uses your Vita's location finding capabilities to find "local" spirits.

How to use Hunt
The first time you play the game, you can use the Hunt feature right away to get a hit. All subsequent attempts will require you to do a bit of traveling, usually at least a few miles or kilometers. In order for the game to know how far you've traveled, you need to connect to the Destiny of Spirits server by using the Hunt feature: this means that, if you do not have a cellular data-capable Vita, you need to find a wireless access point. Cafes or certain fast food restaurants are good options. After connecting, you should get a hit again. Once you successfully Hunt in a different location, this should allow you to receive spirits again at home; thus, to make best use of Hunting, you should attempt to Hunt as you travel to different places during your day.

It is not necessarily required to actually connect to the Internet in order to perform a hunt. If put the game on standby and travel somewhere, as long as there is an available access point, Destiny of Spirits may be able to still calculate your distance traveled. You will not be able to receive your spirit until you are able to connect to the Internet, though, and you cannot hunt again until you have verified the results of the last hunt. However, this is an easy way to still use the hunt feature without going out of your way to make it work.

Local Hunting
SCE began Local Hunting on March 27, 2014. When hunting in a specific location in the world, you are able to find very rare, limited spirits.
