are hunts the only way to obtain allied seals?

[FranSeara]

The best way to get Allied Seals from hunts is to join a group. Otherwise you'll get so few.

Close, but not so true. You can still get Full credit going solo. The trick is to keep dots up on hunt at all times, be high on the hate list and never stop dpsing, and be over geared for the hunt. Its hard but not un -do-able.
