    The B-rank hunts doesn't require a train, help, or a taxi.
    B-ranks are slightly stronger than normal monsters, but are easily solo'd even by a job slightly under the monster's level. They are also non-aggressive monsters, so they don't you attack you unless you attack them first.
    As you will be doing L50, L60, and L70 B-ranks, your L80 WAR job will be able to one-shot the L50 and nearly one-shot the L60, and kill the L70 in a few wacks.
    Basically, you will be killing only 3 monsters.

    For the ARR, HW, and SB weekly B-Rank marks, you visit the three exspansion's respective The Hunt NPC's Mark board, get the Mark Bill for that weeks B-Rank, then go to the zone that B-Rank is in and fly around till you find it.
    The expansions after SB use a different hunt currency than the seals from the earlier expansions, of which doesn't have a way to use that currency for Aethryte Tickets, so if Aethryte Tickets are your only concern, you can skip them.
    Clicking the Mark bill you can get the mark's name and open the map to it's zone.
    You can fly around "aimlessly" in the zone and use your hunting "sense" to triangulate the B-ranks' location or use one of the many published online zone maps that pin all of the B-rank's spawn locations and then just fly near each one.
    Also, a B-rank will respawn about 5 seconds after it is killed on one of it's spawn points randomly, so if someone else is killing the B-Rank, you do not have to wait for hours/days for it to respawn.

    Killing the B-rank on the Mark Bill for the week will reward you 5000 gil (more than pays for the teleport to the mark board and the zone the b-rank is in) and 100 seals automatically (no need to go and turn in), so in total you will get 15000 gil and 300 seals.
    For every 100 seals you get from each kill, you can buy 20 Aethryte Tickets, so you can earn 60 a week for 10~15 minutes total of work.
    You buy the Aethryte Tickets for seals from the Hunt merchant's that are near the mark boards.
    You can also do the other daily Hunt Bills, the Regular marks, but they do require more zone hopping for less reward, however you will still profit in both gil and seals.

    Hunt Trains are player organized events that are normally ran every 3~6 hours, every day, were a group of The Hunt players will go out and "map" the location of a given expansion's currently spawned A-Rank elite marks, then organize a time and place to gather, party up, and then go to each mark in sequence to kill them. The primary reason for these events is to quickly earn Tombstones, however you do also earn The Hunt seals/currency, and items you can exchange for Materia.
    If you wish to participate in a Hunt Train, it is best that you have maxed out your character's job for the expansion and have unlocked the Tombstone merchants, so you can use the rewards you get. It's also helpful to join a player made Linkshell that is for The Hunt activities, so you will get notified on Train locations/times, plus find out about S and SS-rank spawns as that happen (much higher rewards of seals/currency/Tombstones)
    There is no gil reward for killing a B-rank outside of it being on a Hunt Mark Bill you have, an A-Rank, or a S or SS-rank. The only rewards are hunt currency and tombstones (except for a non-Bill Mark B-rank, there is no rewards or drops, however they do count for B-Rank Achievements and in some case are useful in The Hunt players determining where an S-Rank may spawn)
    Also, there are no EXP gains for killing B, A, S or SS-rank marks, so just use whichever job you have that is currently you highest or maxed. The only EXP you can gain from The Hunt are for the Mark Bills.

    sorry had to cut off the bigger portion to be able to reply back but thank you for your insight and advice this was very informative appreciate this

    i do hope that eventually though they do add this item too the other hunt vendors at some point or time or maybe even to that moogle trove event? i notice they added the gold saucer tickets and the riding maps there here's to hoping it really is a very helpful item to players like me who lack sufficient gils to level up other jobs/disciples ^_^

    It would beat the prisms by a huge margin in value. A perfect single tomestone dump purchase.

    Outside of that, even though nuts are still current expac, they are already mostly obsolete. Being able to by tickets here again will help as a single DT train gives a lot of these.
