The Hunt is an initiative established by the Eorzean Alliance, offering a bounty to adventurers who aid in quelling the threat posed by notably dangerous monsters that prowl the lands of Eorzea.
What are Hunts?¶
The Hunt was first introduced in patch 2.3. It allows players to accept Mark Bills which’ll give them a list of monsters to defeat for a reward. There are four types of identification for the Marks which are: SS, S, A, B ranks.
-
SS Rank - This Mark are extremely tough and require multiple parties to defeat. These are the hardest out of the Marks, offering the best rewards, and normally require very specific ways to spawn them.
-
S Rank - These are the second most difficult Mark. These will have a long respawn timer, and if the zone you’re in has one that is spawned, you’ll see the message “You sense the presence of a powerful mark…”.
-
A Rank - These are the Marks that you’ll regularly see Hunt Train shouts for, and will have a respawn of appoximately 4-6 hours. These can be killed in a full party.
-
B Rank - These are part of your weekly Elite Mark Bill.
