Solo Hunting

You can earn seals and nuts doing daily hunt logs provided by NPC's as an easy way of earning that extra reward to get your desired goal faster. You can also search for A ranks in the OLDER zones and call up people to share the reward.
NPC's that hand out daily and hunt logs are located in the following locations:

• Allied Seal Mark bills - Hunt board located in each of the grand company areas in the 3 starter cities.
• Centurio Seal Mark bills - Clan Hunt Board Located in the Foundation at (x12,y11), by the forgotten knight teleport.
• Nutsy clan Hunt Mark bills - Clan Hunt Board Located in The Crystarium at (x9.5,y9.4), by the Temenos Rookery teleport.
• 6.0 Nutsy Clan Hunt Mark Bills - TBD.

  It's helpful that you set up macros for announcing hunts. I personally use four macros. One for announcing a mob that I am targeting to the party, one for announcing a mob that I am targeting to my link-shells, one for relaying a flag that someone else has provided with the rank to party, and one for relaying a flag that someone else has provided with the rank to my LS's. You can repeat these for announcing S ranks as well as A ranks. B ranks are not to be announced in link shells or party chat. If you want to be kind, you can shout in zone for the location of the B rank mob. As a rule for ANY announcement, always always always include the mobs Rank.

  Examples of macros include.
  "/p Blimey, I seem to have discovered a rare form of A rank named <t>! Come on down to <pos> and watch me put me thumb in its backside!".
  "/l2 SSSSSSSSSSSSS RANK AT <flag>!!1!oneone!".
  "/shout Is anybody looking for this B rank <t>?".

  If you are doing more than one linkshell, separate out each on separate lines in your macro. Common syntax used in macros for hunts:

  • <t> - Whatever you are targeting, caution on this one, this can be a player, a trash mob, a primal, whatever you have targeted at the time.
  • /shout - Channel for shout.
  • /l# etc - Linkshell 1, linkshell 2, linkshell 3, etc where # is the number of the linkshell in the list.
  • /fc - Free company chat.
  • /p - Party chat.
  • /cwlinkshell# - Cross World Linkshell where # is the linkshell number.
  • <flag> - When you click on a link someone has provided a flag will appear on your map, if you then type in chat you will relay those coords and provide others with the ability to click on that link themselves. You can also create flags manually by Ctrl + click on a map you have open.
  • <pos> - This is your current position. This will provide a click-able link to others that they can click on to get a flag for your location.

  When hunting for elite mobs it is best to hunt in groups. In the newest zones, it is almost impossible to solo a gold rating for an A rank, and completely impossible for an S rank. There are three ranks of rewards you can receive when hunting. Much like bronze, silver, and gold for Fates; hunt mobs give out diminished returns if you or your party does not contribute enough to the fight. Contribution is typically summed up by how much enmity you put into the battle. Doing a lot of damage, getting heavy hits early in the fight, using a lot of enmity generating skills, and massive over healing are valid strategies for getting gold during a hunt.
  A good way of keeping track of what has been killed and when S and are available for spawning is to use a tracker website, such as Faloop.

  When hunting for B ranks, feel free to give a shout in the zone to ask for that particular mob. If you manage to find your B rank, feel free to ask in zone before killing it if anybody needs this particular B rank, but make SURE that you announce what rank it is.
