Let's talk about Hunts - a detailed rundown of their assumed mechanics

You can click the zone names and get four forecasts, not just two.

How'd you know about the double rain way before it showed at the Skywatchers? o.o

If you click a location when you talk to the skywatcher you can preview one eorzea day in advance.

Ahh, didn't know that, thanks :3

Laideronnette spawned as well, though it has been found when it was not raining haha. xD

Nunyunuwi spawned on Moogle 8 minutes ago, but it took us 2h30min to make him spawn OR we didn't see him when scouting because he was hiding behind a huge rock in the desert and I must say I've never seen Zanigoh, Albin or Nunyunuwi on that spot before. Serves me right for not scouting in the little hidden spots.

It's newmoon!
Should be possible that Mindflayer spawns the next 3-4 Eorzea Days right?.?

52 minutes. Spawns at midnight this Eorzea day.

Brontes is being a pain to pop :\ Seems he's got his own agenda xD I'm going out every hour after farming G3 Thanalan Soils and checking for him, but no luck :\

Regarding Agrippa and the opening of treasure chests:
Are any kind of treasures chests that are opened fine as long as they are treasure chests (like treasure chests from Leves), or do they need to be treasure chests that are spawned via a Treasure Map / Alexandrite map?

Another question I have would be, at which locations can Brontes spawn/be spawned?
I've seen some locations where he can possibly spawn when the conditions are met, but I was wondering if he could spawn at other locations where the B and A-Ranks usually spawn as well~

@Vandes

faq seems to think treasure coffers from Leves work, but I am coming up with another mind. Logic being that Minhocao and Agrippa are linked in the mechanic of item acquisition, which Minhocao being the "soft" one (small number of Earth Crystals) while Agrippa is the "hard" one (stack of shards/clusters from the chest) being their trigger. This matches what seems to be similar for all the other pairings where there is one "soft" and one "hard" - 2star fish vs 3star fish, 1star gathering vs 2star gathering, dying vs almost dying, not raining vs raining a lot, completely dim moon vs super bright moon, and so on

For Brontes, any location any of the three different ranks can spawn at should be considered a location you could run a lap over with the food buff active on.
