are hunts the only way to obtain allied seals?

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.

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.
