Highly Notorious Monsters

[Shougun]

OK so, FFXII in mind - you get those monster kill requests from the board.

Now, HNM idea.


Force popped: do certain actions / get certain items - pop monster, or pop a zone that has the monsters in it


Window popped: HNM will appear on boards all over the world, when a party enters the zone they will be given the choice to start a hunt - if they accept they will not see anyone else in a hunt for the same creature. The hunted creature will only aggro their party. Once you kill the monster he is dead till he respawns - his window is decided by the first kill on him. If SE wants to be nice they can leave a time of death in the beastiary or some menu of the hunt board.


After the first kill he has half his window time to despawn from all hunt boards. So a ~48 hour monster pops, a group kills him, ~24 hours from now all hunting boards will stop letting others hunt him, ~48 hours later he will pop again.

Perhaps if you havent gotten the flier from the HNM board that a moogle may pop up and inform you of a dangerous monster nearby and your party can volunteer to join the hunt that way. PS I want a personal moogle so this makes more sense in my head.. :P (moogle popping up to talk to you)


Window popped monsters would be special because you wouldnt and couldnt grind them - but in theory everyone should get a chance as its not about who can claim faster.
