are hunts the only way to obtain allied seals?

Long overdue considering it mostly used as vanity anyway. It takes over 8 months of doing the weekly A rank to buy a single weapon. That's insane.

That if you do the weekly yes, But hunting daily A ranks im pretty sure you get a weapon less a week.
But i really i think need change B ranks to Daily a hunt. Weekly can be A rank randomly one that still give you 20 but bonus 50+ ifs an weekly hunt mark.

That still gonna take killing over 80 A ranks in that "week". Considering most people have limited play time per week, it ends up a ridiculously long grind. That's all I'm saying.

Pretty much this. On Leviathan, most A hunts are on a relatively set and unified spawn time. When you join an A rank group, chances are there's going to be another spawn within 10min... then another... then another. The downtime after all of them are down before the next spawn happens is maybe an hour or so. Sure, not everyone is going to have the time to do every one of them, but who said you need to? Just doing a few A hunts a week alone will reduce those 8 months by more than half.

Honestly though, I don't understand why the idea of vanity costing a lot of time/effort to get is lost on people. Think about it... cash shop = vanity. Nutkin, Fat Cat, etc pets all costing more than any progressive gear (combat, crafting, gathering). Unlike actually useful gear for combat progression, there is no impending rush on vanity that's (for all we know) going to always be there.

Huge difference between 4 months and one week. He was making it sound like it was just that easy. It's not. Back to my original point, the cost is simply too high for stuff that old and only i70.
