Thread: The Hunt 3.0

There are a lot of people rushing things from what I see, but things are also much better than they were when hunts first released.

You get 110 seals every day from mark bills and 100 seals from the weekly elite mark bill. You can full gear a class in i180 in 3 weeks and 2 days without touching A or S ranks.

And this is why we needed i170-i175 crafted gear!!!!

To give ppl another option in gearing up for alex.

Im sure lots of ppl have millions of gil and would rather buy meldable gear than to be toxic about hunts cuz they missed it etc.

I wish! I made a killing over the last few days off of Hard Silver in the Hinterlands, I did a few hunts today cause I was locked out of LLR (was Aurum Vale eww), the hunts in 3.0 kinda suck, these Instanced zones are BS, I had to zone 6 times to get into (2). Tried to make it to a few and they were dead before I could even get into the right instanced.

Hunts are now easier than FATEs and give upgrade items for better stuff than dungeon drops. Stupid. They're really the one bad thing about the game that didn't get fixed in the expansion.

I proposed some time ago making a separate weekly elite bill, which would require slaying 3 or 5 dungeon/trial bosses to receive 100 or 120 seals. This also promotes more dungeon queueing for newcomers aswell as people needing to complete certain dungeons for whatever reason (relic for example).


I used to post a lot on how we shouldn't complain about not being able to reach a hunt which we haven't been looking for (the real purpose of the hunts). If someone calls a mark, of course I'll go, but I wouldn't complain if I don't make it. However, this now has changed. There are certain apps that tell you when and where a hunt spawns, which gives people no chance at all of "farming" marks by looking for them, because someone else will find it instantly. We have to rely on those calls now, field instances just made it worse.

We have daily bills indeed, but you're asking people to log in, do quick bills in under 15 mins and sit in town for the rest of the day when our gear upgrade is gated behind them.

Said it a dozen times and I'll keep screaming it at the top of my lungs until SE hears it, "Increase the health pool of all hunt mobs A and above by 1000%". Or scale it to the entire zone. SOMETHING. It'll seriously fix so many problems.

Thankfully the hunt groups on Faerie still haven't fully mobilized, and the ones that are out there are for the most part extremely cordial and willing to wait fair amounts of time for pulls. It was like that in the start in ARR, too. And then it wasn't.

But hunts are the ONLY way to get i170.
Ik they will add crafted gear but whats the point in getting the crafted gear when hunt zerging is the cheapest & easiest way. Hunts r supposed to be catch up right? So y is it the only option ppl have.
Ppl pull other ppl's findings cuz its " i don't have time to waste. " * lol its only been a week since EA release so y are u acting as if alex comes out tmrrw.

Hunts are only needed for i180, not i170.

Oh dear, are we back to the hunt bloodbath again??

And you missed the link to the "early puller"'s name. Other than that, hunting in a nutshell.

On Gilgamesh is not any better. But as I told my party, some people enjoy griefing others. So, they will do whatever it takes to make others angry, as they don't feel any kind of guilt and they actually feed up on people's insults. Such people will never change, if you didn't make it, just relax. You might make it the next time or find the mark by yourself.

I used to love the idea of hunting when announced back in the 2.3x notes. I actually enjoyed the first days of it. Guessing the spawn conditions of the S marks, getting them, sharing information, joining multiple hunting LS, making lots of friends. It was good. It came with a price, which you guys mentioned: People became toxic about it, ruining the experience for a lot of people.

As for now, you require way less seals to fully upgrade your set, thank goodness. So, the pain of hunting these conditions will be minor compared to the early days of hunting.
