    * The targets listed on regular marked bills will differ from player to player. The target listed for elite marks will be the same for all players.

    This is about the "Wanted" tasks you get from the Hunting Boards in the GC.
    The daily tasks are for every player different. The weekly tasks are for everyone the same.

    I'm sure it works like Leves & maps

    You get the task, go to the place, activate it and an enemy spawn that only you and your party can attack.

    ^ I agree with this;

    "While regular marks denote enemies commonly found in the wilds of Eorzea, elite marks denote powerful enemies that only appear under certain conditions."

    When you see "under certain conditions" in Maps/Leves/Quests/Sightseeing it's usually you travel to X place and activate the duty, emote in the right location, or wait for the right time/weather and emote.

    I think regular hunt monsters will spawn when you emote in the right place; I think elite hunt monsters will require a party setup, time, location, and possibly weather to be spawned - but they will be locked by individuals/party.

    That sounds like a good system, very close to XII. Personally I would hate any kind of claiming system that would promote camping. Either make the rewards open to everyone who partecipated (like FATEs), or locked to the party that spawned it, but allow everyone to be able to obtain a map/chest for that hunt (like leves).

    Your reading comprehension skills fail. What you posted in response to Clavaat is the actual hunts that will appear on the board. The regular marked bills will differ for each player, but every player will get the same elite marks.

    I only posted the one in red since like I figure'd they didn't see the news posting. I guess I shoulda also posted

    While regular marks denote enemies commonly found in the wilds of Eorzea, elite marks denote powerful enemies that only appear under certain conditions. (In the video you see them walking up to an already popped Bear that isn't in the wild and also on the mark bill was 5 star so is probably one of the elite marks (whereas with treasure hunting you actually see them spawning the peiste))

    And then the question becomes just like my first. Will this end up like mostly Odin/Behemoth where harder enemies can just be zerged by anyone around and get credit because their is NO claiming system they took it out when they brought in powerlvling in 1.0

    At this point until they say otherwise this is what I'm expecting them to be like. Just like Odin and behemoth fates that randomly spawn and get zerged. Hopefully the specific conditions they are talking about are several times a day and not once or twice a week.
