- Regular and Elite Marks
While regular marks denote enemies commonly found in the wilds of Eorzea, elite marks denote powerful enemies that only appear under certain conditions. They are ranked according to the risk they pose: rank B (lowest risk), rank A, and rank S (highest risk). In addition to the bounties listed on the Hunt board, elite marks will yield rewards including Allied Seals, Allagan tomestones of mythology, and Allagan tomestones of soldiery. Players are free to pursue elite marks without procuring an elite mark bill from the Hunt board, but they will not be eligible for the bounties stated on the bill. To learn more of the nature of these elite marks, players can consult the hunter-scholars stationed at every hamlet about Eorzea. After an elite mark is discovered, players should stand around for as long as it takes for the entire server to get there before attempting to fight it. If someone attacks an elite mark while players are still en route, everyone in the area should shout about early pulling and report that person.
