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

[KageTokage]

That description of the Amh Araeng S rank sounds like you need to specifically use Self-Destruct with BLU to spawn it (Which would be hilarious considering that BLUs exploding to spawn Chernobog was already common practice). I'd initially have suspected that the Huldus that spawn in the SW corner might've been a potential candidate as well, but that mention of "distance being key" makes me feel like it's not going to be an explosion contained to one specific part of the map.

The Kholusia one is very likely spawned by whatever new thread is made from the recipes that are being introduced in tonight's patch.

The Lakelands S rank seems the most vague of all as there's an awful lot of bird mounts/minions, though I suspect the Amaro mount the most strongly (Good luck finding actual hunters who have it this early in the expansion, though). There's also a chance it might be tied to the chiliads in the northern part of the map, too.


As usual, should definitely dig up the descriptions in other languages considering the English translation's penchant for taking liberties.

No new threads were added to weaver recipes, just a new cloth in master book.

Of minions, maybe chocobos? Heavy hatchling looks like a nice snack...

What time after maintenance do S ranks become available?
