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

[Yarukiba]

Bone Crawler spawned on the 2 last instances on Moogle, chocobo porter.

All Gamma are dead too.

Edit :Salt and Light too. 9:32pm GMT+1

and 9:30pm GMT+1, Orghana spawned. FATE was done, I didn't move AT ALL from the walls and absolutely no one was killing them (I wasn't either), and it spawned later (something like 5-10min...) at the next weather change.

Edit ² 9:53 GMT+1 , Orghana spawned again after 10mins of FATE completion. No wall was being killed either

I'm pretty confident this "15 minutes" jazz is people just not knowing the spawn points yet. I did the Tribute FATE, and then did my hunting loop. It popped the first time i flew over the spawn point. Due to this, I believe completing the FATE opens Orghana's spawn point, and actually flying over it thereafter is what causes it to pop.

[Yarukiba]

I can tell you absolutely no one was flying over these two points at all. I'm 100% sure of that because I wasn't the only one in the area keeping an eye on it and none of us was moving. And the last spawn, it was complete up north were no one ever goes, and we met no one over there. We were the first ones to arrive, without seeing anyong on the way back from that point.

Edit : I can even add, for the first ones, my friend went flying to the spawn point and nothing poped, the second one, another friend did the same and after a full round of nothing poping, we just waited. The last one, we just didn't move.

[Kai47]

Well if you're 100% sure of what you saw, and I'm 100% sure of what I saw, then that means that there's some sort of middle-ground. The only thing I can think of is that like I said, completing the FATE opens the spawn point, and actually flying over it actually triggers the pop. However, if nobody flies over the spawn point in X amount of minutes, then it will pop by itself. Would you agree that that makes sense?

[Edgedy]

Maybe it's a weather thing? Visibility?

[Yarukiba]

I thought it could be weather but the last spawn we had was far from a weather change (it was sandstorm).

Kai > could be a possibility indeed. We'll need more spawns anyway, when people will care less about hunting and leveling the zones will be easier to controle

On the other hand, was got our very first spawn of Udumbara on Moogle 10:20pm GMT+1. We were a few killing monster, but that's when I killed a Leshy that it spawned. We are currently trying on another instance

edit : 50 minutes later, still no spawn, we've been 7 people farming monsters, and some of us were farming in this instance for the past 2 hours already so, probably not open yet

the 15 minutes for me was killing walls after the fate then doing another fate the pops up around the same spot cause EXP. Then I flew around after reading about the spawn points since I knew where some of them were and I appeared over one I flew over.

[Sader]

Just spawned Udumbara on Sargatanas at 5:43 PM EST. Went in the zone and killed ~2-3 Leshies and it popped instantly as soon as the third one died, no Beech Log drop from any of them. (Could of been more Leshies killed by others but just my point of view)

[Dimagasa]

The only time nuny has taken us over an hour was when we had an unlucky bout of call me and book, where one spawned twice.

We had one spawn where it took 1h 7m, but he spawned right after completing one of the rarer fates that had not shown up before during that time. So might be a sub requirement of completing every fate at least once too.

Alright... so ...

Orghana: If you do the FATE and fly around and it spawned beneath you... it wasn\\'t your spawn. Triggers are instant and not delayed. I don\\'t know why everyone still thinks this.
Also a trigger doesn\\'t have a multiple parts condition. Which means it\\'s either this or that.

Croakadile and and Mindflayer, when the condition is met they don't pop instantly, but you can force them to do it by walking to their spawn points, or you can wait for them to spawn naturally. Done that at least 4 times now so there's no way it's a coincidence.
