Let's talk about Hunts - a detailed rundown of their assumed mechanics

[NoboruSouma]

The thing is we tried so many times just doing FATEs for 1 hour (or more) with no other conditions and never worked (with force spawn timer). The day we tried to do every single FATE at least once (while not letting any other in between FATE or that would break the chain) Nunyunuwi spawned right after we crossed out the last individual FATE. So I find it hard to believe that's not the actual method. The do FATEs for 1 hour thing I believe works some times because the condition is actually met in that time, also because there could been people already in the area doing FATEs when you arrive and so on.
(Also, "Diamond in the Rough" suposedly is not needed to be done, but I can't confirm this at all).

Nothing is 100% and there could be some factor I don't know about in all the failed tries, but my own experience does not tell me that it works like assumed when the other method worked too perfectly.

Yea, experiences vary so it .. well, I agree, let's just say that - nothing is 100% for Nunyunuwi. He gave and still gives us a bit of pain. But so do Lampa, Wulgaru and Agrippa for me, so ...

And "Diamond in the Rough" has such a high spawn timer sometimes that it rarely spawns in a spawn attempt - at least I can say that of the many times we did it back then we had this two or three times pop in total ..

Thanks Noboru. I'll stick with the current method! Been trying to spawn it solo a bit for fun, but it's really tough and I usually have to call for help with the worm fate or bump & grind. Has anyone managed it alone, or does anyone have tips?

Anytime!

The Worm-FATE is the worst in that area for me as well, takes too damn long solo. And I guess a few people did the solo run .. at least that's what I think I read in this thread but I'm too lazy now searching through 220 sites. Personally I'd never do it to be honest so I can't give any tips.

Alone is too hard, but it is doable with just two people. Although if you want to be sure you don't miss any of the NPC FATEs I think three people is the lowest safe number, covering the most of the map at all times.

Oh of course not, don't jump your guns just yet - all that's being said here is that there -might- be some correlation, but currently unelucidatable until the traffic in the zones die down a little.

And for those who've been posting spawns, no need to force the Yumemi theory if you're not relatively sure that your actions could have directly caused the spawn. If it pops immediately after, by all means, but if you only establish visuals a while after you're done with whatever steps you were trying to take to spawn it then I wouldn't be too sure about establishing the connection just yet.

The only thing about the yumemi is that if there is a doulbe trigger that almost confirms that they all might have a double trigger
Orghana = Fate + Landmine trigger
Okina = Full moon + Kills?
S&L = location(Lochs)+ action(discard?) Or there might be another component entirely
Gamma = Night + Minion landmine - and/or something else

Then it mean that Udumbara is probably more complicated than just kill Leshy and Drakka, and that Bone crawler might also be more complex than just chocobo porter. :< /headache

Bone Crawler Spawned at Pandaemonium.

89 hours from last kill.

For Orghana:
I think the FATE and Landmine Trigger can be confirmed by the hint in her description (Yes, I still think Orghana is a she ... if not those things just don't match.): And one of our most famous tales concerns the vengeance he wrought upon his sibling's killers...
So after you defeat the FATE Orghana looks for anyone who could possibly be the killer of her sibling and she spawns right infront of you full of vengeance.

Salt And Light:
For now it seems that anything you discard will trigger him. Even though the hint says that people should care what they throw away. Some discard cheap food and he spawns, so .. I don't think there is anything else to it.

Gamma:
Dusk/Dawn/Nighttime + Toy Alexander are the only two conditions that need to be met to make him spawn. There's nothing else.

Okina:
Let me not start with her .. I don't think I can try something on the next window, our last Okina will probably spawn instantly at 12p.m. because the first trigger already happened.

Bone Crawler:
I kinda doubt that there's more to it - for now every spawn happened midway of using the Chocobo Porter no matter the time of the day or the weather.

Udumbara:
Hmn .. again, a little bit harder since there are many different reports. But if I had to guess it should be the deaths of any kind of plantkin in the zone. Maybe it is some kind of Leucrotta, maybe it's not that specific. I think we will find out this - if not in the window after that.

Has anyone been able to spawn Bone Crawler by just spamming the porter and jumping off ASAP?

Would save a lot of time if it's not a guaranteed spawn once it's up.

Tried and tested, doesn't work. It looks very much like you need to have completed a good portion of the journey already.

The other thing I'm wondering what porter path people are using.

I've just been spamming Ala Ghiri to Ala Gannha and vice versa, but if the S rank somehow involves proximity, then it might be necessary to take a different porter at times.

For us it's always been the middle of the flight path, not before not after. The sample size is still pretty small but so far it's always been after the midpoint between the 2 flight paths in zone.

I can confirm that. Happened on all my last three spawns of him.

This is what I did and I always spawned him that way, however I know he can spawn from other routes as well. From Ala Ghiri to Ala Gannha back and forth is just more convenient because you don't have to leave your instance.
