Proposed Hunt Fix

[Sylve]

I kinda want them to leave the Hunts as is, but add in a new kind of Hunt, where a Light or Full Party could accept a Hunt Quest and then have to, as a group, go out into the world and track it down using indicators in the world, like footprints or dead prey animals etc.
Set it up so its all randomly generated and only the Party on the 'Quest' can interact with it, kind of like a worldwide Leve. Maybe even randomly generate the name of the Target, give us random special skills from Dungeon bosses/mobs etc so its different every time.
Repeatable with no limit, but a reward in Poetics/Seals etc suitably scaled to the difficulty of the Target.

The current Hunt system would just be a thing you can partake in if it happens near you, but give us some actual Hunts where we need to track down the Target.

The thing you described already exists. It's called treasure maps.
