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

[Yumiko_Kaneko]

Seems like Gandarewa requires a nice HQ chain for it to spawn along with other things. Based on info provided so far

Senmerv still seems a mystery also, I have a strong belief that it is not related, because 5-hours of chaining fates is to incredibly strange, the spawn should be able to be done solo, although most can be done solo, Special Tarasque Force can't be.

I doubt SE would put a FATE chain Spawn, given Nunyunuwi seems to go missing on many servers for weeks at a time, the 1-hour of non failed Fates.

Want to open up discussion of Senmerv spawn conditions and start eliminating, because something is triggering on several servers and not on others.

Need to start piecing together this puzzle, get to the bottom of this spawn

dont think gandarewa is HQ chain related, due to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YewKSaQ9Pds

Make's me wonder if its seventh heaven, or aurum ore at all to be honest.

I agree that 5 hours seems incredibly long and yet, that's the only thing that has changed on Moogle so far. I got a confirmation that when Senmurv poped there was a lot of people in the arena farming FATEs for XP. And despite what we think, he kept spawning on Japanese servers even before they changed the exp from FATEs. SE wouldn't change a mechanic because NA/Europeans play differently. Even if most of the S ranks need 1 personne, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a new one requiring more people. "Teamwork" is the word, I think.

However I do agree about Tarasque Force ; at some point, nobody will care about it. So I wonder if it is included in the trigger.

[Steve_UK]

after hitting both seventh heaven, and aurum ore nod 27 times between the two(15 hours worth of node hitting today), i think it's safe to say this is not the 'Main' spawn method to spawn gandarewa.

One question for all of you that have managed to spawn him: Are your server's populated enough to kill Dragon blood's DURING the 5am/5pm node, to obtain dragon's blood during the node times?

I dont want to say Gandarewa spawn ISNT relating to the node's, but what if you have to kill blood dragons to obtain dragon blood between 5-5.55am/pm for this to spawn? as server's have stated it's spawned around the time of the node windows.

Senmurv is behaving like Brontes did when S first came out. People asked what we are doing differently now from early access/launch, and my answer is that we are flying around. I believe Senmurv has a hard trigger like Brontes (not being able to be mounted and walking around eating to pop him) so I am thinking we must do something while walking around the zone. This idea accounts for why it popped when lots of people were in the zone doing fates, only I have no idea what the trigger could be, my first thought was Gysahl Greens.

I just had Gandarewa spawn on Siren. Weather was Wind.

An interesting thing to point out there is a ephemeral node was hit about 6pm Eorzea time (there abouts) and radiant fire moraine + fire crystals was gathered from the node according to hunters in the area at the time.

This might the missing link we are looking for, however cannot 100% anything else was happening at the time

[Kanjishin]

4p-8p is soil Moss and clay. Moraine amd rocks are 12-4pm. No such thing as a missing link but if there was it'd be the legendary nodes as they are the hardest to access. If everything is being mined or gathered in the zone including unspoiled ephemeral concealed and legendary, it is my belief that it will pop.

Bathing in the perfume from strange flowers and rare metals could easily hint to concealed nodes.

Edit: and for all that will argue about concealed nodes just being added, if any mined or harvested in the churning mists would know they used to pop as lv0 inaccessible nodes. I had thought it was a bug but perhaps it was to let us pop Gandarewa.

This thing with that video is that there was too long of a time between finishing the gathering and the first LFG. There was no call in shout and the first thing in chat was a minute later and just "LFG".. guessing that it was announced through other means. Someone else could have came in and gathered HQ in that amount of time which triggered that announcement.

If you look @1:00 in my vid 5:28pm Eorzea you can see Gandarewa walking around.

K so, apparently gandarewa likes to spawn when i am at work

Looking at my chat log, seems to have been spotted at 3.37am ET, this is before the seventh heaven and the aurum ore nodes appear. could this mean it could be other node's that could spawn it?:O
