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

[Rita1989]

You know that it is possible that some people have killed a certain type of monster before you've arrived there? Via leveling or whatever there is.

Also explain why Senmurv has always showed up after the 5th FATE. Like do you really think this is all but just a coincidence?

There's several ways to see if an S Ranks pops and it all must be coincidence that once you fullfill that "theory", as you see it, they suddenly show up. I also think Santa Claus exists.

Senmurv has popped on 2nd fate or 13th fate or 20th+ fate sometimes most people on Balmung who are hardcore hunters have called the 5th fate as wrong anytime someone posts it.


With Leucrotta the 50th kill thing it's nice to use as a guideline but it's been spawned by killing the other 2 mobs 170ish times and no one actively killing the Chimera when checking them saying it's a set number is just a theory that is hard to prove one way or the other regardless.

It seem like you don't understand how spawn windows work, Cable Monkey dropped an explanation a few pages ago http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post4335913



Just because a hunt goes green in Ariyala doesn't mean it's spawnable, the server will set a random time within the window where your efforts to spawn will be counted, anything you do before that is fully ignored, that's why sometimes it takes long to spawn S ranks. Some hunts do have a % chance to spawn from every attempt starting from the moment the server greenlights the spawn (like Croque or Zona), but others (like Leucrotta or Senmurv) are not chance, they are a set number and they have been confirmed over and over.

So if Leucrotta window is 80-132 and the server happens to set the time to be 125 hours since last kill, anything you do until that time is met is moot, once the time is met anyone who happens to be killing chimeras over there will unintentionally work towards spawning it, that's why sometimes you don't need to kill chimeras, that's why you specifically don't need to do cerfs up 5 times if someone has been clearing it already.

Side note: Balmung is not the only server with "hardcore hunters", and "hardcore hunters" from smaller servers are far more valuable than stacked servers, because they can test things with very little outside interference, there was a time that no one did fates in forelands in lower pop servers, so it was pretty easy to confirm the clearing of cerf's up 5 times to spawn senmurv.
