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

[Alukah]

Nunyunuwi again, "sunshine" weather, 3 in game hours after heatwave ended so it's impossible that it was olgoi, spawned right outside forgotten springs so it's very unlikely it spawned during heatwave and no one saw it.

Alright, a bit of an update on my last post:

After 17 days and 16 hours of not spawning, Nunyunuwi finally spawned on Zalera this past Tuesday. Prior to this occurring, I did have a chat with some of the people I know on the server who fish often. They let me know several Olgoi-Khorkoi had been fished up in the past few weeks. Also they let me know that at the time Nunyunuwi was discovered, South Than was not in a heat wave nor had been for the past day of EZ time.

While I don't know the exact time Nunyunuwi spawned, I have about a 10 minute window on his spawn as a hunt party going to Zanig'oh passed the spawn location at around that time. We also suspect that this same hunt party might have been the cause of the spawn as during this Zanig'oh fight as FATE spawned on top of us, and as this was Tuesday it was one of the biggest hunt parties we get for the week. (People capping their soldiery for the week)

Then comes the truly interesting part; on Thursday, and only 2 days and 2 hours after Nunyunuwi was last killed, he decided to show his face again. This time around, there were a handful of atma farmers in the region still, but at the time we had several other S Ranks we were triggering, so we did have large groups in other zones, but at the time not in South Than.

Still a mystery to us, but we are now at least able to verify that Nunyunuwi has a short respawn window with the likes of Garlok and Nandi. Garlok we have been able to reliably spawn just by completing the "Just a matter of Rut" fate while he's due. As stated above, there doesn't seem to be any further requirement other than completing the fate from what we are able to tell.

Runeth,

Do you happen to know which fate was spawned (or atleast the location where the fate was?) when nuny spawned soon after? i've been fating with a group for 4 day's now, and still no spawn.

Update to other S ranks -

Nandi - Using a chocobo companion on the stone path also work's - I was doing this by myself on a quiet time (literally maybe only 2-3 other's in Upper la Noscea), and managed to spawn nandi.

Brontes - Found out there is more spot's this guy can spawn - I used a normal quality marmot steak (which i made 30mins beforehand) and used it at certain location's. i used it at the top of the waterfall around (19 , 23) and he instantly spawned right ontop of me. There has also been other sighting's of normal food working also.

Thousand Cast Theda - Found out that the only thing you have to do, is have a Judgeray on your line to have a chance of theda spawning. i was attemtping to spawn her, and then scouted around after about 5minutes after getting the message (insufficent gathering skills) to find she was spawned near Peacegarden area (27,22)

Garlok - Garlok spawn's when the weather changes (this is his only Condition). I attempted to 'Fire arrow' his cave, and wait for the fate 'Just a Matter of Rut' he did not spawn, whilst leveling my alt i was doing the 'Cancer' fate, when all of a sudden it started to rain, and i had a massive garlok after me (He killed me too )

Safat - Needless to say it's all to do with the 1hp jumping. I fell from the higher leveled area in Highland's fating, turned around and a big Safat was behind me (not 100% sure if i triggered this, or if some-one else triggered earlier, but was not found?)

If anyone else has information on Nunyunuwi that they are willing to share this would be fantastic. He's the only S rank i've not battled yet, and typically he spawned last time when i was sleeping!

Any updates for Nunyunuwi? cant find any other tactic's for spawning.

[Steve_UK]

Nevermind - Confirmed how to spawn it, since posting it spawned.

New info on Nunyunuwi. 4/10.

After the window for him being open for over 60hrs on Gilgamesh server we were debating the hunter-scholar text and picked up on the mention of stealth. As a new theory we tested mining while stealthed. A few seconds after three people, myself included, tapped the nodes while invisible, Nunyunuwi was spotted.

We mined random items, a bit of everything in the zone. will test certain items next window and update.

We have previously toyed with the idea of walking (stealth forces this) for Wulgaru and Nunyunuwi. Never did it cross our minds to do something other than scoot around while doing it tho. Will be tested.
