Elite Marks

[Dhex]

This is about the "Wanted" tasks you get from the Hunting Boards in the GC.
The daily tasks are for every player different. The weekly tasks are for everyone the same.

I'm sure it works like Leves & maps

You get the task, go to the place, activate it and an enemy spawn that only you and your party can attack.

^ I agree with this;

"While regular marks denote enemies commonly found in the wilds of Eorzea, elite marks denote powerful enemies that only appear under certain conditions."

When you see "under certain conditions" in Maps/Leves/Quests/Sightseeing it's usually you travel to X place and activate the duty, emote in the right location, or wait for the right time/weather and emote.

I think regular hunt monsters will spawn when you emote in the right place; I think elite hunt monsters will require a party setup, time, location, and possibly weather to be spawned - but they will be locked by individuals/party.

That sounds like a good system, very close to XII. Personally I would hate any kind of claiming system that would promote camping. Either make the rewards open to everyone who partecipated (like FATEs), or locked to the party that spawned it, but allow everyone to be able to obtain a map/chest for that hunt (like leves).
