The falconer evaluation range

ValueDescription
D/VThe Falconer did not release the raptor due to rest season or high range wind.
1The falcon flies away and did not return when called.
2Bad flight, the falcon alights unexpectedly.
3Regular flight. The falcon will neither fly at the desired high or around the whole zone.
4Good flight. The falcon flies at proper high but will not cover the whole area assigned.
5Very Good flight. The falcon flies over the whole area assigned but returns lately
6Excellent flight. The falcon flies at,desired high even success in hunting and returns when is called.
