The 8-man maps provide some easy weekly gil generation if you do them w/ 8 people and have more gatherers get your maps throughout the week. The loot is split(items etc.), but the gil/shards are individual to the char. So with 8 chars, each map can generate 14.2k to 40k (before selling mats) for your guild bank. That gets multiplied by the amount of maps that you have (1 gatherer can get 7-9 a week) and that really starts to add up after a while. 5 gatherers getting 8 maps a week, for 40 hunts (really easy to do) with 8 people, can give you 512k - 1.6mil. Sure that's not anywhere near the huge housing prices, but it's easy gil and only gets bigger the more people/gatherers you have.

This is wrong. Last night my map dropped 250 wind shards and they went to a random player. I didn't get anything.

Overall disappointed with the TH, so there are only 2 items worth getting, and you have a random chance of getting that random item to boot. If there wasn't a lockout on farming them, it wouldn't be so bad.

I did an 8 man hunt yesterday. I only did it with 4 people but we could have done it with less. There were several waves of 3-5 mobs, but they all had pretty low hp. It might be a little harder to solo, but it is easy with 2-3 people. I have no idea why they thought you would need 8.

If you're in a heavily patrolled zone, like a Castrum or right by 50 Sea Wasps, trying to duo a 8-man map is just asking to die.

How do you gather treasure maps exactly? Like you'll just be harvesting and instead of the item you'll get a map?

Not really, I can almost solo the 8 man Alpha maps, main issue is I can't kill it fast enough solo. Having as DD with me would make it easy.

Ok, what would you do if you get a drop like a minion in a 8 ppl party? I mean, you were the owner of the map, don't you have the rigth to keep that minion instead of loot for it?

[Inquisitor]

Well, that and removing "GO TO THIS ZONE" from the map, that completely ruins any sense of a hunt... >_>

I'd like that, but the "where is Mankrik's wife" crowd would hate it.

Don't do it with a PUG, do it with your friends or FC mates, and agree beforehand that if a certain loot drops (in this case minion) that you get it and everyone else passes.

for '8' man stuff i just use party finder for a 4 ppl party and ask for them to use their chocobos. that way we only have to compete w 3 other players for drops.
