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

[AsunaTakizawa]

Just wanted to drop in from the small Zalera server.
In regards to Brontes, i've spawned him the last 4 or so times using the same method. I'd agree with the idea of a threshold. It's also always triggered by the actual consumption of food, not just walking by the spawn point while the threshold is full. Right when window opens we have a hard time spawning him, blowing through stacks of food for an hour to no avail. Upon coming back an hour or two later he spawns pretty quickly.
The same goes for Nandi, it may be on a timer, but a certain threshold has to be filled. Once it is, it pops just like Brontes when a minion is spawned at a spawn point. It could be specific to a certain spawn point or it could be the threshold being met right at that instance, hard to tell.

Last note. I can also confirm Nunyunuwi's spawn condition. Exactly 1 hour after the three of us in pt completed the first fate in South Than, he spawned for us on Zalera. No more 17 day timers for him

Do you use ariyala tracker for nandi? the tracker from that site is out, as it state's nandi's spawn window is open 36 hour's or so after the last kill, when infact it's 48-50 hour's.

Once the tracker state's 14 hour's 45minute, i usually scout for nandi, only one time has it not spawned at this time, but 15minute's later this one time, every other time if you know all the spawn point's, nandi will pretty much spawn on-time.
