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

[Vandesaan]

Let me remind you that the Nunyunuwi hint makes no sense in terms of being linked to FATEs as well, yet there we are.


I also believe Square-Enix has gone full on lazy in terms of hunt this time around and that there is no specific, shorter post-maintenance timer for the Heavensward S ranks. This means that we should start looking for stuff like Kaiser Behemoth again if your last kill was above 50 hours ago.

Carbuncle got Kaiser and the rest of the 3.0 S ranks on the 31st of July, and have been consistently spawning them for weeks prior. I noticed that they spawned at about a similar timeframe to Croque and the others' post-maintenance timer (not including Garlok and Nandi, those spawn much earlier)... but dear heavens, now that there is no maintenance on Thursdays we have been unable to trigger the 3.0 S ranks while the 2.0 S ranks pop out all the time as specified.
