Hunters for Hire
When you receive Guild Cards from StreetPass or by playing online, these players will sometimes show up in the offline Hunters Hub as Hunters for Hire. If you pay them to go on Quests for you, you'll get rewards back based on how well they fared.
Hiring
Hunters for Hire will depart on their Quest while you're on your Quest. By increasing the number of hunters you assign to the Quest, you can increase your odds of getting better items. Once you send out one group of Hunters for Hire, you cannot send out another until the original group has returned and you have claimed your reward.
Quest Results
Hunters for Hire will return to the Offline Hunters Hub after you complete two Quests.
*Does not include Gathering Quests.
The hunters you send out on a Quest will succeed or fail, and the rewards you get from them will reflect that.
Sometimes they'll do better than expected, and will have more rewards or rare rewards for you.

Checking and Setting up Hunters for Hire
You can check on the Hunters for Hire by touching the Hire button located on the World Map. You can also adjust the Quest bias for these hunters. You can adjust settings for Quest Rank, Locale, and Objective. What you can set these categories to will increase as you progress through the story.
*For Quest Ranks marked as Advanced, you cannot set the Locale or Objective.
Changes to Quest bias will not be reflected immediately. After going out on a Quest yourself, the Hunters for Hire will have new Quests that match the new setting.

Secrets to Success
Increasing the fee you pay to the Hunters for Hire will increase the number of hunters that go out on a Quest, and will help your odds. The HR of the Hunters for Hire that participate in the quest also affects your odds.
Sometimes a hunter that you have high Unity with will appear as a Hunter for Hire, and an icon to indicate this will show up on the Touch Screen. When this happens, your odds are increased even higher.
