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

[Sadana]

To clarify, S ranks require both that X time has passed AND the spawn conditions be met, right? So y'all are testing to see how close together you can spawn another in the same region? (example: 36 hours passed since Enraged Boulder spawned; spawn conditions are started at 30 hours next time to see if he shows up sooner.)

Can you test this theory in your server if it will spawn WULGARU (SRANK EAST SHROUD) cause it kinda worked (coincidence) in our server.

Need a large crowd (to make noise) or just a small number of players killing trents at EAST SHROUD. We were doing this for like 30 mins then somebody just shouted Wulgaru (x,y). We also gathered Trilium and did FATES before doing this theory (2 hrs) but he didnt pop during that time. He spawned after 3 days and 5 hrs btw. The idea is the same like the condition of NORTH THANALAN SRANK, killing a lot of earth sprites?

Sorry if I'm asking the obvious, besides one or two, has anyone pulled together fan translations of the scholar hints in the other languages in order to compare them?

So Excalibur did a thing. We had a group run around in Southern Thanalan scaling up all the FATEs to their maximum amount of mobs and boss health, then sent a squad of 100 (yes, literally 100) people to clear them one by one as a giant horde, thinking this would be well sized enough for the "large-scale battle" that Nunyunuwi's trigger speaks of.

Didn't do a thing, we did this for four hours.

Ideas?

I dont any of this work at all. I had seen how like 50+ had been spawn Minions over and over in Upper La Noscea with the window opened and nothing nothing. Also the Grimscale fishing and that thing dont spawn. But hopefully all this will end after the next Live Letter in which I personally asked about if these lame theory are true or not. It could be mere coincidence that some of these S spawn doing some of the conditions mentioned before.

A good amount of them should be right, I'm more than 90% sure. Which you describe should occur because you're spawning it when not enough hours has passed.

Well. Just had Croakadile spawn on top of me at 5pm ET when the counter was on 74:40. Ended up with full credit and a Log which was unexpectedly lucky.

Safat just spawned on Ragna.

Blizzard was up.

Garlok spawned while the FATE, "Just a Matter of Rut" was up. A minute before it ended or so. May have been spawned earlier.
