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

[Vandesaan]

Laideronnette will spawn in one Eorzea day. That's at 6-7 PM on the next Eorzea day, which is slightly under 70 minutes from now. This happens globally as always with Laideronnette, so make sure you are out there finding it.

Vandes, how to nunyunuwi?????

[Vandesaan]

OK, we finally have a clue for Nunyunuwi. This time it was possible to observe the spawn happening, and because of conditionals discovered for Garlok, this was possible to theory out. Now, the details and what I want you to test on your individual servers.

Goal is to not let a single FATE expire or fail in the entirety of Southern Thanalan for over a full hour of real life time. This INCLUDES the ones you have to initiate by clicking an NPC around in the game world. These are located at (17,17) (21,19) (24,12) (19,35 (17,23). Once you accomplish not letting a single FATE fail or expire at least one hour, have a part of your people start looking for Nunyunuwi. But do not stop clearing FATEs at we don't know if each FATE cleared after the one hour period counts as one trigger each, or if the final FATE once one hour has passed is the trigger yet.

Successfully so far on Excalibur and Gilgamesh, let's confirm this one for good guys.

Diabolos checking in. Testing this tomorrow at 10am server time - Will be back tomorrow to post results

Nunyunuwi on Shiva spawned already so can't test it here

A question I have though:
After a maintenance, do S-Rank spawn instantly just by fullfilling their condition for the spawn or is it still just a chance for a spawn when meeting the condition?

At least speaking for Zona Seeker and Croque-Mitaine, it's still chance.

Maintenance has no influence on triggers, it's still just a chance. No player controlled triggers are ever 100% chance to spawn.

Nunyunuwi spawned on ragnorok . My ls did straight fates for 1hr not letting one expire. It worked and he popped.

Here is the exact details.

We were only ones doing fates so we could determine whether they failed or completed.
We did every fate including triggered fates(the 2 escorts(1 by Little Ala Mhigo and other by the Byroget's Stryke and 1 mnk fight Zan'rak Encampment)
We started with 3 people.

12:02(cst) We failed sandworm fate.
12:05(cst)(1 person) He completed a successful fate
12:07(cst)(other 2 people) We then completed a successful fate.
12:58(cst) (Zan'rak Encampment npc triggered mnk) We just finished a fate at where it spawned later on.
I then moved on to Zahar'ak.
1:06 (cst) (He went to do Future Shock also at Zan'rak encampment) Another Party Member saw the S rank up.

Hope this helps with data collection.
Just the timing is way too coincidental that it popped almost exactly 1hr after the first successful fate completion after a failure.

good work! It does seem beyond coincidence that 3 servers now have spawned Nuny exactly 1hr after beginning to test the theory. Just have to repeat this pattern next window to know for sure. Nuny has been notorious for never triggering to the same theory twice.

Great, thanks for reporting back! I had strong faith in it this time so it's good to see more success with it.

Now to understand Safat and Wulgaru...
