how do hunts work?

S & A Rank Mobs

Here's a detailed summary:

Tracker for Kills/Window Timers: (There are quite a few out there, this one is my favorite)

http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/ >> Menu at the top >> Hunt Tracker > Select your data center > Select your world > view window timers for S & A rank mobs.

When an S or A rank pops in a zone, you'll see people /shouting for invite for hunts, etc.

S Ranks are harder, require more people/time to kill.
A Ranks are not 'hard' but can be trouble some with one alliance only. (YMMV!)

You don't need to be in a party to attack, but to get full credit, it helps to be in a party with other people attacking the mob.
