About this converter
Every Phasmophobia ghost can hunt once average sanity falls to its threshold, and most share the standard 50 percent. Spirit, Wraith, Banshee, Jinn, Hantu, Goryo, Myling and Oni all sit at 50. Special ghosts break the rule in both directions. Shade waits until 35. Deogen waits until 40. Mare hunts at 60 with the lights off and 40 with them on, pinned at 60. Onryo hunts at 60, or 40 near a flame, with a flame blowout ability that can force a hunt at any sanity. Raiju reaches 65 near active electronics. Demon hunts at 70 and can force a hunt at any sanity with its ability. Young Thaye starts at 75 and ages down to 15. Yokai reaches 80 when players talk near it. That makes a provoked Yokai the earliest regular hunter above a young Thaye.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first ghost, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total sanity percent. Try young Thaye at 75 against Shade at 35 for the widest gap, then Spirit at 50 against Wraith at 50 for a standard tie. Only hunt sanity percent is used here.
Rows pin average sanity thresholds from the Phasmophobia Wiki Hunt table, cross checked with per ghost pages for Demon, Onryo, Thaye and Mare and with community cheat sheets. Banshee checks its target sanity instead of the team average. Shade also refuses hunts with a player in its room. Demon and Onryo abilities can start hunts at any sanity regardless of rows. The Mimic inherits its mimicked ghost threshold, so it has no fixed figure and stays out. Recently added ghosts (Dayan, Gallu, Obambo, Kormos, Aswang) stay out because their tuning is still shifting across patches.
