Confused about The Hunt

[MStowastiqVahlshdeh]

I finally unlocked The Hunt this week.

I read the patch notes again and again.

I can't figure out how to tell what an Elite Mark's rank is.

How do people know whether an Elite Mark requires a full alliance or party or if it is solo-able?

I soloed an Elite Mark today "Sewer Sludge" with SMN lvl53 plus choco and assumed I was supposed to but should I have invited a party? I have never accepted and encountered a Mark on my list that requires more than one person to kill it.

In general, whenever I see a Mark that is not on my accepted bill list, I shout with its <pos> but people start spamming "pls invite". Of course since I did not accept the Mark, I assumed I could not join so I just let ppl know its there and I move on.

What happens to rewards if you don't join a party but participate in the battle?

I read the info and it states that you don't get "bounties" if you don't pre accept the mark from the mark board.

If that is the case, what is considered the bounty? and is there any reward outside if you don't first accept the Mark?

I discovered something today and I am really confused about it. Can't figure out if it is a bug or intentional.

Any info is greatly appreciated? Thanks
