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

[Yarukiba]

Gandarewa : either MIN or BTN, it works with both. (aurum egis ore & seventh heaven)

Pale Rider : Wyvern maps. Never got a single Dragonskin map in Hinterlands and there's many people saying they never got one at all. But Wyvernskin maps are 100% working.

Bird of Paradise : Involve Squonk/paissa with the Chirp (if someone can try the Dhalmel with their "Whistle" that'd be cool, since on Moogle we never get the chance to be here when it spawns >.>)

And I agree about Leucrotta. This must be linked to a X number of monsters kills, maybe 3x50. Going to confirm it the next time it's open.
Kaiser Behemoth's trigger has been known even before he was officially implemented in the game lol, and Senmurv got a confirmation with Cerf's Up x5 a few weeks ago.

So we can basically say we know all the triggers for the new S ranks.

I went to take a look at other servers reports (JP, from Elemental) and here goes the earliest spawn counted :

Gandarewa :
100h
100h
109h
101h

Kaiser Behemoth :
113h
102h

Pale Rider :
99h
100h
96h

Senmurv :
115h
119h
113h

Bird of Paradise :
112h
99h
104h
104h
102h
90h

Leucrotta :
113h
82h (wtf ? I'm surprised, I doubt I can trust this one...)

----

I'm not surprised to see Leucrotta, Senmurv and Kaiser with way higher respawn timers since they are the ones requiring more work from the players OR cannot be spawned randomly (Kaiser for exemple, I doubt anyone would wander with the beheminion "just like that"). Most of their kills are around 125h - 140h.

Took 10 hours of trying but got Bird of paradise to pop at a bit over 112 hours :< We were experimenting with paissas and would swap to squonk every so often. Ended up being squonk that popped bird. Will experiment with Paissas again when it opens up (again)

Gandrewa is stubborn and sitting at 122+ hours

(and no sooner than I mention it.. he popped like 50 secs later when we started hitting the aurum ore node)

Forgot to note BoP's weather orz but squonk was once again barely damaged.

BoP will most likely be open in a few hours on Moogle (I consider it open starting 90 hours) so we will try as well ! Hopein this time I will be here when it spawns >_>...

About Gandarewa, we spawned it yesterday but Nanao, the one who spawned it, really struggled. She got 100+ seventh heaven and there was no spawn, but as soon as she got the MIN book and got aurum ore, it spawned. However I really don't believe MIN being the only job that triggers it (we got 2 spawns after BOT node). I suppose this is MIN+BOT ?

I've gotten 2 spawns off mining and like 1 off botany so either works. I just don't know if its just... a random chance off each hit or if there's something MORE to it (like gathering back to back on nodes or gathering 100 total - cause it sure wasn't in a row I've missed a few hits) it's definitely not HQ OR quantity gathered when the node is active at that moment because he's popped with the first collection of aurum regis ore (pretty sure it was NQ) since I'm doing collectibles it's not like I can check if it's HQ / NQ anymore.

I know someone early on proposed that its spawn was based on gathering ore/heaven back to back, found the post

I believe Gandarewa to require you to chain gathering of Aurum Regis Ore into Seventh Heaven from the same person, order doesn't matter, but keep doing it. Chained triggers were introduced after hunts for fishing, so it is not unlikely they decided to use that serverside mechanic for hunts too. It's only guesswork at this point, but some servers have either been super lucky with short random assigned timeframes OR they found the right trigger by doing the gathering of both legendary nodes and have had _three_ spawns between maintenances. In addition, since the hint mentions both metals and flowers... yeah.

Note from Siren Hunters:

BoP has been popped 2x in the last 2 cycles with using Squonk and letting him sing the song of his people "Chirp" "Chirp"

Have a feeling that more chirps are required (says RNGesus) if it is more into the early side of the window... when ariyala tracker went into "missing" it required 2 "Chirps", at 72 hours + we had 5 "Chirps"

Then again, it could be possible that I could be reading more into this than needs to be.

In regards to Senmurv... still don't like the fact this takes almost 5 hours+ to spawn it, it's a completely stupid amount of time for us to do this.
Fate spawn time for "Cerf's Up" actually varies from about 45min to nearly 2h for respawn. Last attempt took me 6h 39min to get it to come out and play nice, and luckily had a small pop team tag teaming to FATE watch, while we went to do roulettes and other things. I would suggest that SE actually look into this part because the timers are ridiculous.

It took about 3 chirps for Squonk to pop BoP when we swapped over to him for that successful pop. Before that he chirped for like 15 mins and we got nothing so... not sure about rngjeesus XD

It took a bit over 3 hours for our last Senmurv and it took 3 hours and 45 mins for the one before that. It helps if you clear out other fates to help cycle them faster (it IS irritating that it's the least common fate in the zone). Like 3 stomp the yards popped before cerf's popped. It CAN happen as often as 15 mins but it seems to be skewed to 1.5-2 hours if you don't clear out fates.

edit: Just successfully popped KB at 96 hours and 30 mins (give or take 1-2 mins) It was my first sweep so I don't know if he's been open longer

Thanks for the info Leknaat, will have to test this when we want to spawn and get a fate party together to clear fates and see how much it affects the respawn timer

[Yarukiba]

Yeah it's the same everywhere, the FATEs respawn faster if the others are cleared. Just means instead of having 14 minutes with 1 FATE, you get 3 FATEs in 14 min. Divide the timer by 3. On Moogle no one care about the FATE and it takes between 1h30 to 3 hours for that FATE to respawn. Usually we have to share the work because sitting there for 10 hours is awful.

Currently at 99 hours with BoP, trying to make Squonk chirp, but nothing so far. Not yet, but I believe this time I'll confirm the trigger as well ! e_e...

edit: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand of course I afk 30 minutes, just the time to eat lunch and guess who spawns ? Bird of Paradiiiiiiise \o/ ♪ ... ;__; ...

This is why you eat at your computer :P That's not too bad though I remember going to the restroom once - just 5 mins, and I missed an S - that was when hunts were like insane and no one waited to pull lol.

I can pretty much confirm it's been his chirps the last 2 times I've actually managed to pop him. He's spawned immediately after the chirp move goes off. I've also been watching Squonk while we perform Paissa chirp experiments. Sadly I still can't confirm if Paissas or that fate boss Paissa can spawn BoP.
