Daily Hunts and FATEs

This is the second time I've had to wait almost two hours for a FATE to spawn in order to complete my whole daily hunt bill. For only two seals, that's a bit excessive and makes them not worth doing, unless you're lucky and go to the FATE location close to the spawn time.

Please either make them drop more allied seals, or stop with the ridiculous spawn times. Or better yet, leave FATEs out of content like this altogether.

*signed* the daily hunts are not rly worth the effort especially the one with the fates. Idk y the reward is so damn low.. oÔ

I am looking for Aermswys the Stained for my Daily Hunt. All I know is that this enemy will spawn only under certain conditions. Is this enemy a FATE Boss? Supposedly found in Halfstone, but I have not seen it anywhere. Any help is greatly appreciated! :)

He's part of the FATE 'Watch Your Tongue'. The last 2 of the 5 daily bills (the ones worth 2 instead of 1) are always FATE bosses it seems.

Thanks a lot Nutz! :)

I've abandoned the daily hunts. They make me lul.

Yeah, they're laughable. If you do them every day, you get 49 seals a week, which means it would take you:

4 weeks to get 1 Alexandrite (this one is particularly crazy)
2,5 months to get enough logs for 1 Oil of time
3,5 months to get enough logs for 1 Sands of time

I know Yoshida wanted this to be an option for those of us who don't have unlimited amount of time, but this is way too harsh in my opinion. Especially when you consider that the time it will take you to get 1 sands of time, the next patch will have (most likely) hit and new and better gear/gear of the same lvl that are easier to obtain will be available.

Also stopped doing the dailies, unless I happen to just come across what I need whilst out in the wild.
After getting lupus fate which nobody does anymore, I just stopped even checking the fate ones

The most hilarious thing is, if you're going for the gear. It would take you around two years to get one full set with weapon.

That's only for glamour though, don't think it was ever intended to be used

Which makes it even more ridiculous in my mind. Two years to get a full set of glamour gear. What the heck.

I do the single target goals, then check what kind of FATES are involved and if it is not one where I know it spawns often (for example ROC in Coerthas), I just trash the hunt book and wait for the next day. The Animus books have told me one thing: to NEVER wait again for an hour for a FATE that takes a minute to complete. Never ever. It is such an absurd waste of time to keep players "busy" with mechanics like that. SE has really put a new level on players waiting for the content to play it. If I want waiting times, I use the subway during peak times.

You can get more than one set of the daily bills. I do the single target goals then drop them for a different set. I don't know how many different sets you can get in a day though.

Yeah waiting for FATES is so wrong, there needs to be NPC around that you can only talk to if you have the Mark Bills, or Atma books that need them.

They are a means to an end. If you have level 90 or above gear, they are useless. OK, 20 of them resets your Chocobo points, etc. But so do 48,000 seals, and you probably already have that from doing other crap and having nothing else to do with seals. 20, 30, and 40 seals = level 90 gear. At 6 to 8 seals a day, you get them prettying quickly. You can also use them to buy ventures... Oh wait, so they're not completely useless. :D

I do them, but I won't spend more than an hour. I'm fate farming for atma right now (Thyrus), so I don't mind farming in that area, unless I have the atma. I've actually used it to level up other classes. I hunt with my WAR or GLA when I can. I don't know if I'm just lucky, but I've run across a couple of the monsters as well just doing the hunts. Then I get tomes, Allied Seals, and gil. Been pretty good so far.

I'm not sure if some of you guys realize you can just keep killing some of the local marks in some zones like Naul or Marberry to get seals whether it was part of your daily hunt or not in order to get seals. There are also seem to be some mysterious spawn conditions necessary for some to get them to show their faces so once that's figured out it'll probably be massively easier for everyone to get at least 100 seals a day.

This was in Drybone last night. Got 100 Tomes. It's from my FB page, so I'm not sure if you folks can see it, but I hope so. Link.

It was captured using the PS4 built in app. Of course, in that time, I had to get out and back in, then try to target that guy with tons of lag! Almost impossible. The lag was so bad, my swift cast and raise were no match. You can see how everything just sort of hitched around. I just wonder where all those people came from, because I'd been in Drybone for a while waiting for my mark and didn't see all those folks. Wow is all I can say. It was cool and crazy and fun.

That's news to me. I thought you can only have one hunting log per day. I thought even if I fulfill or destroy it, I will get the same again when I go to the GC again. Have to try it out on the weekend, thx for the hint.

Yeah, on top of your dailies/weekly hunt you can just keep hunting the A and S ranks for each area (they respawn like every hour or something). A girl in my FC has made a point to records times and places for a lot of the A and S ranks and she's already un-weathered her entire left side of gear just from those alone.

Pretty effective if you spend a few days doing nothing but hunts and, say, FATE grinding for atma at the same time.

I tried it last weekend. When I fulfill my actuall hunt log, I can't get a different one. When I return to my GC and check the board, the exact same set of enemies is provided. When I try to get it (again), all I read is "you have already fulfilled your daily hunting log". So how do you get more than one set of daily bills? I know I can hunt A, B, and S rank mobs 24/7 if I want to but I do not see an option for what you said.

I think the FATE mark reward should be higher. If you're waiting for a FATE to spawn for hours you should be rewarded for your time. I have no issue with waiting for a fate if you can get say 5+ seals from a FATE mark, but 2 really isn't worth the effort.
