It's very depressing how...

[Zohar_Lahar]

Alright, I see you've all made your point. I'm still annoyed they didn't raise the level cap by now to go with the huge spike of item level.

So instead.....I now want the open world Elite Marks to have more creative (and lethal) mechanics taken from endgame content (including Coil). This also goes for the upcoming Battle of Ishgard and FATEs.

I don't hate Hunt nor any of the Hunters. However, what I do hate is only by hunting, you can obtain Carbontwine besides hours of trying to beat FCOB. I am sure that if Carbontwine being made more available, Hunt will not be as bad as it is now.

Its fine. Its also much more time consuming then it was last time.
When my decision was not to even bother doing hunts because it takes too long, it means its pretty balanced.

:P Hate hunts, and only do them if I'm near. I love dungeons and run them as often as I can.

For me, I don't run coils, raids or anything, im a crafter. the only thing I use my battle class (WHM) for is spiritbonding. the difference between i110 gear, and i130 gear may be 2 holies, but that can literally be the difference between an accidental wipe, and a consistent sb run.

that said, I like hunts. they let me gear up, and also provide a constant flow of soldiery, and therefore crafting materials.

I see a fair amount of people bringing up FCoB as an incentive for Carbontwine in particular and I would just like to point out that for an 8man group you are limited to two twines a week while hunts provide as many as you can stomach to farm for + get lucky with RNG to get logs from. SE could've just left twine/coat out of hunts and just award both in the weekly Crystal Tower quest. I need a fair amount of twines but it will probably take a long time to get them despite clearing coil weekly because I just can't be bothered struggling trying to get full reward in a zerg fest that causes major server lag (especially on S ranks) not to mention that even after over a year SE/AMD still haven't fixed the borderless window mode memory bug that causes "An unexpected error has occured" or FPS to drop below 1 for 30sec randomly when a large amount of people load in.

Folks think they "have to" do certain content to get geared cause "others will grief them if they don't". :/ This fear I just don't get. I tell people just to do what they want in game, but it's like they CAN'T. ><

Actually, as a tank, it is simply painful to play with vastly outgeared DPS in the party when the DPS players just "do what they want".

It's not a fear, it's actual experience.

Hunts look like fun but is there like a guide on how to do it?

The "assumed mechanics of hunts"-thread here only explains how spawns work but what am I actually supposed to do to get into that grind?

I see hunt LS chasing cool looking NMs all over the map but apparently you already need a bill for that specific mob for the kill to count?
Can somebody please just break it down for us mere mortals/(idiots)?

The only hunts that need bills are the B ranks (weekly hunts with a white/blue symbol by their name)-- those are the smaller monsters you'll see around that respawn somewhere in the zone as soon as they're killed. A and S ranks (the larger monsters with the red and yellow symbols) can be killed by anyone for credit, even people who aren't yet lvl 50.

EDIT: Should also add, B ranks are designed to be soloed. A ranks need at least 4 people to take down, S ranks a lot more than that.
