NM comeback in the form of "Hunts"

Daily hunts have you go out to the overworld to fight " Risky mobs" which I am just going to call them NM's.

Here is more overworld content for us! Keep it up SE!

These hunts seem like they are coming from FFXII.

There will be a "ranking" system. Higher your rank, the more mobs/stronger you can take on

The "hunt related mobs" seem to be pop-able either by item or "purple ring, and when you enter the mob will pop"

As long as it's a forced spawn which it looks like it will be everything is good. Bassically seems like a little bit of an upgrade of how maps currently work.

I'm just stoked these will actually have a purpose that we already know about (Alexandrite) and Oils/Sands of Time will be a part of CT2 drops.

Yah it was indicated some monsters would need potentially at least a Light Party of i80-i90ish players while others would be soloable. Definitely sounds like force spawn rather than more FATE crap. If it's somewhat like FFXII though they may also be conditional spawns.

I dunno about conditional spawns, the only condition I can see them doing is like some of the Dailies where you kill 1-3 mobs and then the big one pops. That seems kinda out of place when your in a light party.

As long as we're not competing against each other, I'm 100% for this!

Yes! More ideas from FFXII!

Now we just need Square-Enix to look into ammo types for Archer/Bard/future gun class and we'll be set!

There will be an aspect of competition - Free Companies can do weekly/monthly ranking competitions against each other based on the completion of daily hunts. (The same way there's technically FC rankings based on Grand Company Seal collection right now!)

That said, it doesn't seem like there's going to be any fighting over 'who gets to pop the mob' in this system; and while they mentioned "some will be soloable", they also mentioned multiple tiers of difficulty - so it seems likely that the hard ones will expect at least a light party.

Things to do with the free company, hell yeah~

Personally, I am going to be hooked/addicted to this feature ( going to get the best rank). I like the feel of "Monster hunter"

Let me clarify: as long as we don't have to camp against each other on spawns that have periodic windows, I'm 100% for this. Give everyone a fair chance at the hunts.

Sounds good. More open world content.

I'm hoping this functions similarly to treasure hunts. You get the wanted bill (treasure map) you read it (decipher) and go to the designated place and search for it (dig). Then you and your applicable party members fight and claim your reward at the end.

Because they wouldn't be so stupid as to make everyone on the server have the same hunt that spawns at the same place at a certain time and only one person/party gets credit for it and the others have to wait till the next spawn window would they? ...would they?

West La Noscea, 1 cyclope spawn around wineport, another around Costa De Sol after the first died, both need to be killed in 8 minutes or mission failed

Make it happen (again), SE ^^

I think it is more like the old good faction leves. With no treasure chest at the beginning of the fight, the chest pop up after the fight.

I didn't really like the treasure hunt system because it was so hard to find people that wanted to do them I have yet to do any maps so far.

all maps except for pieste skin can be solo'd, an for pieste you only really need 1 tnk 1 healer 1 dps incase you get a Chimera spawn, all the rest could be solo'd too.

... maybe you should try doing a couple then. <.<

A well-geared and well-played Summoner can solo almost all of the maps. It's easy to get to ilv85-90 these days, most especially for alt classes. The Chimera....don't know about that one. I *can* tell you my brother and I duoed the Chimera as me as a Lv90 SCH and him as a Lv93 PLD. It was close, but we did it.

I can't because it says they take a party and nobody on my server does them.

Not sure if trolling, but here is the solution to your dilemma.

It says they're recommended. You do not need to do them in a full party.

The only one I would want to do is pieste because it drops blue bird and I don't have that pet and having 1 tank 1 healer and 1 dps is still people I would have to find like I said I haven't been able to find anyone to do them and would want to keep doing them until the pet drops.

Well, then you have a preference...but are not lacking alternatives, bluebird aside. You could also try listing yourself in the Party Finder to get people together.

I'm down with this too, FFXII is my favorite FF right after 10 and that game had all the mechanics to be an mmo. Large maps, great battle system, great class systems.

Monster hunts will be super fun, if I remember the conditions for some of the spawns related to weather/night patterns or that you had to do something before the spawn came out. So it'll be similar to Leves but more like a boss fight of sorts.

I doubt that we will get ammo back. We had them in 1.0, but SE got rid of them. So why would they implement them again?

SOOOOO https://i.imgur.com/205NTX2.gif EXCITED for this!

No, no. Not ammo, ammo types. In FFXII, you didn't have to purchase ammunition for ranged weapons, but you could equip types of ammo, such as Silent Shot, which would give a chance for your attacks to silence the enemy, or Poison Shot, which, obviously poisoned the enemy. I would love to see stuff like this added into the game so that way Bard has more of a support role than just songs.

Nobody? Huh. I see PF groups being set up frequently. But what I do is just grab a couple of FC mates and we head out and knock a few off pretty quickly.
