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

We knew this already, the CD after maintenance is much shorter. This time around, we learned that the CD after maintenance is longer than 22h, because it doubled rained after 22h. Previous we knew it was longer than 21h. It then doubled rained after slightly under 28h, which caused a spawn.

Laideronette to spawn on next weather change (9minutes from now)!

wrong everything is wrong! an S rank spawns when yoshi-p pushes a button.

Okay, so yet again problems with spawning nandi.

We was the second server on Ariyala site (that use's it to track) to kill nandi after the maintanence, yet 80% of server's that use it have killed nandi, yet we still have no spawn.

For the past 6 hour's i've been trying to spawn nandi, with 4 other people and yet there is no luck. There must be something else to this as we are currently at 17 hour's for nandi, where Cerberus server killed at 12 hour's. >_>

Ok, im just imputting some information i just noticed VIA ariyala track site regarding safat.

Theory: Seem's to me like this could be a 'world wide' trigger, where you have to jump to 1HP in a certain location, after a certain time, abit like the mahisha, where you have to die in a certain location for it to spawn somewhere on the map, maybe you have to drop to critical HP/1hp Once the cooldown is up. Every single server that use's Ariyala to keep track of S rank's, and none have spawned Safat since the first kill's after maintanence.

I will keep an eye on this, as the last time i checked this, several server's killed safat at the same time (or within 1-2 hour's of each other, due to where everyone was jumping, and as soon as i see a safat killed on the tracker, i will attempt to jump around in certain area's myself, and post result's.)

Check out http://ffxiv-the-hunt.net/?Excalibur and other servers; quite a few killed Safat hours ago already. Still working on ours.

Are you sure you're stepping on every single Nandi spawn location? Because in the past I've run around trying to spawn Nandi without luck until somebody else helped and went to a location I didn't even know Nandi could spawn, which just happened to be the correct spot for that window. If it had remained just me trying to spawn Nandi, he'd never have spawned.


For reference, the spot was inside the village on the left side of the zone.
