The Hunt Rewards: Alexandrite, Oil of Time, Sands of Time

If you read it carefully, you may already notice that elite bill mark are open-world monster that share with whole server. Meaning you gonna need to camp for NM, similar to old day FF11, which is why reward is good.

That is not what it says. It is possible that is what it implies, but it does not explicitly say that at all. It says that the Elite Hunt will be the same for all players for week, which could also mean it is still a pop similar to Treasure Hunt, but will be the same for all members as opposed to 1 per person.

Yep just looked closer at the pic for the daily one (there are larger higher res pics on facebook)and it is to kill 4 natalan wind talons. Pretty disappointing that the daily hunts are just "go kill x amount of regular mobs" instead of map mini boss types. So it's going to be mobs where there are only a few in the whole world just like the Atma books. Going to need to be in parties even for the daily hunts just to get some kills. Hopefully this won't be the case with the elites or else it's just gonna be Odin and behemoth all over again.

"Both regular and elite bills list a bounty for their indicated marks. This bounty will be paid in full once the marks have been slain. Allied Seals received from the Hunt can be exchanged for exclusive wares by speaking with the Hunt Billmaster at your Grand Company. Rewards include weapons, armor, minions, sands of time, oil of time, and alexandrite.

This is awesome news! Now, I'm sure they'll be fairly expensive, but this is so awesome!

Best thing to happen to Eorzea since sliced Walnut Bread!

I remember when Walnut Bread was sold by NPC vendors. That sure was convenient. So convenient they patched it out

I'm pumped, but I am also wary of the inevitable forum rage if that sands/oils aren't immediately obtainable (OMFG Hunt Grind). TBH I expect them to take atleast 1-3 weeks of daily/weekly hunts to get since I'm guessing that SE wants to stretch it out until 2.4 for the non-coil folks.

Do we know how many people participate in a party for this content yet?

You do raids for the raid gear you need that'll never drop for you.

It's about time it was possible to get Sands and Oils from somewhere other than coil.

Agreed. I was getting tired of actually raiding for raid gear. Wondering when they will start mailing it to me as my daily prize for logging on.

Except that High Allagan gear will still be better than any of the options I listed...including the Allagan Tomestone Weapons. The game is giving us options, that's never a bad thing. I imagine it will be more of a grind, which, if that fits your playstyle, more power to you. Regardless, you can still get the best equipment from BC, or you have it already. No reason to complain.
