The Hunt is an initiative established by the Eorzean Alliance, offering a bounty to adventurers who aid in quelling the threat posed by notably dangerous monsters that prowl the lands of [[Eorzea]]. Players can kill [[Elite Marks]] all over Eorzea and receive [[#Rewards|various rewards]] or participate in [[#Mark Bills|Mark Bills]] and kill specific regular monsters. The Hunt was first introduced in [[patch 2.3]].

==Mark Bills==
Players will find a '''Hunt Board''' at each [[Grand Company]] headquarters, upon which '''Mark Bills''' have been posted listing bounties for various [[enemies]]. There are two types of mark bills: '''Regular Mark Bills''', which are posted once per day, and '''Elite Mark Bills''', which are posted once per week. These bills list the name and number of targets to be hunted, their location, and the reward being offered for their defeat.

*The targets listed on regular and elite marked bills will differ from player to player.

Elite Mark Bills task the players to kill a [[Elite Marks|Rank B Elite Mark]]. By killing the B mark, a player is awarded {{gil|5000}} [[gil]] and {{allied seal|100}} [[Allied Seals]].

===Where can I find Marks I have accepted?===

Look in your inventory key items to see the Mark bills you have accepted.

===Regular and Elite Marks===
{{see also|Elite Marks}}
While Regular Marks denote enemies commonly found in the wilds of Eorzea, [[Elite Marks]] denote powerful enemies that only appear under certain conditions. They are ranked according to the risk they pose: B Rank (lowest risk), A Rank, and S Rank (highest risk).

New marks are posted on the Hunt board at the following times:
* Regular Mark Bills: Daily at 11:00 AM (EST) or 8:00 AM (PDT) 
* B Rank Elite Mark Bills: Weekly on Tuesday at 4:00 AM (EST) or 1:00 AM (PDT)
* A Rank and S Rank: None (Kill on sight)

===Clan Marks & Veteran Clan Marks===
[[Clan Hunt]] is the new [[The Hunt#Mark Bills|Mark Bills]] system introduced in [[Heavensward]] (3.0). Players can receive Clan Mark Bills from the Clan Hunt Board in [[Foundation]] (x12,y11). These Marks are divided into 4 types: level 1, 2, 3, and Elite (B-rank). They task the players to hunt down various [[enemies]] in Heavensward areas. Players can awarded with {{Centurio seal}} [[Centurio Seals]], {{gil}} [[gil]], and {{exp}} [[EXP]] by completing them. The level 1, 2, and  3 marks refresh daily, while the Elite (B-rank) mark bill is once per week.

[[Veteran Clan Hunt]] is the [[The Hunt#Mark Bills|Mark Bills]] system of [[Stormblood]] ([[patch 4.0]]). Players can receive Veteran Clan Mark Bills from the Veteran Clan Hunt Boards in [[Kugane]] or [[Rhalgr's Reach]]. These Marks are divided into 4 types: One-star, Two-star, Three-star, and Elite (B-rank). They task the players to hunt down various [[enemies]] in Stormblood areas. Players can awarded with {{Centurio seal}} [[Centurio Seals]], {{gil}} [[gil]], and {{exp}} [[EXP]] by completing them. The One-star, Two-star, and Three-star marks refresh daily, while the Elite (B-rank) mark bill is once per week.

==Mark Identification==
Hunt marks are always the level cap of the expansion they are in and have a unique name, like [[White Joker]], instead of a generic one like [[Ground Squirrel]]. They are also physically larger than standard enemies of the same species. 
===B-Ranks===
{| class="wikitable" style= "text-align: center"
|-
| '''Respawn Time'''||'''ARR # Per Map'''||'''HW+ # Per Map'''
|- 
| 5 Seconds || 1 || 2
|}

<span>B-Ranks offer no direct reward. Players can hunt them for the Weekly Elite Mark Bill, which will reward 100 of that expansion's hunt currency and {{gil|5000}} [[gil]]. B-Ranks are passive and so have the tier 4 blue symbol next to their name. {{Aggression icon|passive|4}}</span>

===A-Ranks===
{| class="wikitable" style= "text-align: center"
|-
| '''Respawn Time ARR'''||'''Respawn Time HW+'''||'''ARR # Per Map'''||'''HW+ # Per Map'''
|- 
| 3.5 - 4.5 Hours || 4 - 6 Hours || 1 || 2
|}

<span>A-Ranks offer rewards to players if they have completed the appropriate side quests to unlock the hunt. They reward a pitiful amount of experience. The respawn time will start when the mark is killed. A-Ranks are aggressive and so have the tier 4 red triangle next to their name. {{Aggression icon|aggressive|4}}</span>

===S-Ranks===
{| class="wikitable" style= "text-align: center"
|-
| '''Respawn Time'''||'''ARR # Per Map'''||'''HW+ # Per Map'''
|- 
| Varies || 1 || 1
|}

S Ranks require specific conditions to occur to spawn. To view a list of conditions check the [[Elite Marks]] page. S-Ranks can be identified by the same red mark as A-ranks and a message in chat that says ''You sense the presence of a powerful mark...''.

When an S-Rank is killed in [[Shadowbringers]] or [[Endwalker]] it has the potential to spawn an SS-Rank

===SS-Ranks===
SS-Ranks have the same symbol as S-Rank as well as ''You sense the presence of a powerful mark...'' in the chat, but are only spawned after an S-Rank in [[Shadowbringers]] or later is killed. There is an RNG chance when such an S-Rank is killed that it will spawn minions. These will appear in 4 corners of the map the S-Rank died in: North-East, North-West, South-East, South-West. If the minions are all killed within 5 minutes, an SS-rank will spawn, which offers more rewards than an S-Rank

==Spawn Points==

There are a limited number of spawn points a Hunt Mark can spawn on a map. A spawn point cannot be shared between marks. The spawn point of a mark is pre-selected on death of the mark. Therefore, even if a specific rank is down, another mark will not be able to spawn in the selected spot. IE: If an S-Rank is not currently alive, a B-rank will not be able to select it's pre-selected spawn point to spawn in. This can be used to deduce an S-rank's spawn location by process of elimination (via the quickly reswpawning B-rank).

==Rewards==
===Receiving Rewards===
Hunt mark rewards are based on Enmity of the player, not damage dealt. The Enmity of the entire party is combined, so forming 8-player [[Party#Full_Party|Full Parties]] is often essential to recieve full rewards. Players must also have completed the quests for {{questlink|feature|Let the Hunt Begin}} (Allied Seals), {{questlink|feature|Let the Clan Hunt Begin}} (Centurio Seals), and {{questlink|feature|Nuts to You}} (Sacks of Nuts). You must kill the mark on a level-capped [[Job]] to receive [[Allagan Tomestones]] other than {{tomestone|Poetics}} [[Poetics]].

===A Realm Reborn===
Both regular and elite bills list a bounty for their indicated marks. This bounty will be paid in full once the marks have been slain.
*{{Allied seal}} [[Allied Seals]] can be exchanged for rewards by speaking with the [[Hunt Billmaster]] at your [[Grand Company]].

==Resources==
Most datacenters maintain a [https://discord.com/ Discord] server for coordinating and announcing what the players call ''"Hunt trains"'' as well as relaying S-rank sightings. During a train, players will party up (usually via [[Party Finder]]) and teleport from zone to zone killing all of the A-rank marks in a given expansion in rapid succession. This will earn 120/240 of the current [[Allagan Tomestones]], {{tomestone|Poetics}} 360 [[Poetics]], and 480 of that expansion's hunt currency... if all twelve marks are available.
