    Basically maybe have them on par to Extreme bosses?

    I don't mind if anyone here disagrees with the idea, just thought hunts have been really trivialized.
    I'd rather see the existing Hunt system deepened. Adding another difficulty layer on top really won't matter much.

    For instance, why not merge the idea of Hunts and maps? Let A- and S-rank Hunts sporadically drop Key Items for participants, that can be then be used to spawn a new tier of encounters in a fashion similar to Maps. Feature a couple of tiers, with varying rewards, that are targeted at a fixed party of, say, six reasonably geared individuals in terms of difficulty.

    Well that sounds more better than I had in mind.

    No, but I'd like a message to show if I spawned an S rank or not in a certain area when I work on spawning it, especially if the S rank can end up on the other side of the map or something (Isles of Umbra in Western La Noscea, I am looking at you.)
