Been waiting all day for Naul; spawned once but as usual no courtesy so was killed before majority of folks reached him.

I ran across Phecda (sp?) the big bear today; shouted for help and only two others came in....we downed him but was a hard fought battle.

Sands now require 99 books, anyone that has already gotten their sands will have their seals go into the negative amount times the amount of sands used, multiplied by 99.. Please look forward to it.

Off-prime hours is the best time to hunt, at least on worlds that are not overloaded.

Much lower risk of anyone deciding to pull early, and not so much people around that marks disappear.

From global/fc/ls announce, it's normal to allow at least time to teleport and actually run to the place of the mark and 30-60 seconds extra to allow people to gather into parties.

Aside from the early days of the 2.3 patch, I haven't seen any indication that someone was using cheats of any kind during the hunts.

Oh yeah, he was my second A rank mob on 2.3 night. Thankfully I was in a party of two tanks a SCH and myself as a BLM. T'was a damn fun fight. I only mentioned Melt as I think it can one shot players or something (t'was also my first A rank). It uses an attack that looks like Blizzard III(?), stuns that person in place and if they happen to be in the AoE, they get one shotted (or near one shotted). I might be remembering wrong, though
