==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.
*Mark Bill targets will have a special icon over their name: [[File:The hunt mob icon1.png|link=]]
 
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 overworld zones<ref>Some Regular Marks in ''A Realm Reborn'' requiring defeating certain [[FATE]] bosses or enemies associated with certain [[Tribal Quests]]</ref>, [[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).


Players can kill [[Elite Marks]] all over Eorzea and receive [[#Killing Elite Mobs Rewards|various rewards]] or participate in [[#Mark Bills|Mark Bills]] and kill specific regular monsters.  
New marks are posted on the Hunt board at the following times:
==Unlock==
* Regular Mark Bills: Daily at 11:00 AM (EST) or 8:00 AM (PDT)
To retrieve mark bills from the Hunt board, players must first complete one of the following quests:
* 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)<sup>[[#Resources|Or don't...]]</sup>

===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.

{| class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align:center"
==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 and generally feature a unique coloration.
===B-Ranks===
{| class="wikitable" style= "text-align: center"
|-
|-
!Quest
| '''Respawn Time'''||'''ARR # Per Map'''||'''HW+ # Per Map'''
!Requirement
|-
!Location

|}
 
<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"
|-
|-
|[[Let the Hunt Begin (Malestrom)]] || Disciple of War or Magic level 50 <br> Second Storm Lieutenant || [[Trachraet]] <br> [[Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks]] (x12,y12)
| '''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 for that [[expansion]]. 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"
|-
|-
|[[Let the Hunt Begin (Twin Adder)]] || Disciple of War or Magic level 50 <br> Second Serpent Lieutenant || [[Scarlet]] <br> [[New Gridania]] (x9,y11)
| '''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 <code>You sense the presence of a powerful mark...</code>.
 
When an S-Rank is killed in [[Shadowbringers]] or [[Endwalker]] it has the potential to spawn an SS-Rank
 
===SS-Ranks===
SS-Ranks, or "Extraordinarily Powerful Marks," have the same symbol as S-Rank as well as <code>You sense the presence of an extraordinarily powerful mark...</code> in the chat. However, they 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. If minions spawn, <code>The minions of an extraordinarily powerful mark are on the hunt for prey.</code> will appear in the chat. These minions 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 receive full rewards. Players must also have completed the quests for {{questlink|feature|Let the Hunt Begin}} ({{allied seal}} [[Allied Seals]]), {{questlink|feature|Let the Clan Hunt Begin}} ({{centurio seal}} [[Centurio Seals]]), and {{questlink|feature|Nuts to You}} ({{sack of nuts}} [[Sacks of Nuts]]) to receive those [[currencies]]. 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.

===Achievements===
''Main article: [[The Hunt Achievements]].''
 
The Hunt is associated with several [[achievements]].
 
==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.
 
However, if the marks have been "poached" or "sniped", meaning killed by rogue players, then the overall train earns fewer rewards, and the poachers themselves also fail to benefit at all from the train. Poaching also sets off a chain reaction by de-syncing that mark's respawn timer from the others, meaning it will likely idle out and despawn before the other marks have come back up, potentially requiring days to a week before coming back into sync for the trains.

{{quotation|[[Encyclopaedia Eorzea: Volume II]], page 271|To abate the threat of notorious beasts roaming free in the wilds, the Eorzean Alliance established an organized culling commonly known as the Hunt. Yet rather than assign this duty to their respective armies and risk a lessening of their ranks, the leaders of the Grand Companies instead petitioned that the tasks be assigned to adventurers and mercenaries. With a bounty on the heads of myriad menacing monsters, adventurers seeking danger and glory could now take up arms, find their marks, and reap the renown of tracking and defeating, the realm’s most dangerous game.
 
The independently operated Clan Centurio—brought together by Ser Leaudaste of Ishgard and colorfully known as a “ragtag band of glory hunters, mercenaries, and has-beens”—has also taken it uponnitself to rid the land of deplorables, collecting coin from the citizenry with the promise that the clan will see the realm safe. This feat they achieve by offering a portion of the amassed gil as reward to any hunter brave or foolish enough to fell the marks.
 
The following are excerpts taken from an official Clan Centurio mark log-a comprehensive collection of rumors and sightings compiled over centuries by past hunters. As such, some of the entries tend to be a tad more colorful than what one may find in a normal bestiary. Hunt boards plastered with the latest mark bills can now be found in almost every large settlement from Eorzea to Hingashi. Bills contain much of the information an aspiring hunter needs to know about his quarry. But without the proper seal, a kill will earn him little more than a pat on the back.}}

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 various rewards or participate in Mark Bills and kill specific regular monsters. The Hunt was first introduced in patch 2.3.

Beginning with Heavensward's Clan Hunt, the dailies functionally replace class Hunting Logs for solo leveling.

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.
  • Mark Bill targets will have a special icon over their name: The hunt mob icon1.png

Elite Mark Bills task the players to kill a Rank B Elite Mark. By killing the B mark, a player is awarded Gil 5,000 gil and Allied Seal 100 Allied Seals.

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 and generally feature a unique coloration.

B-Ranks

Respawn Time ARR # Per Map HW+ # Per Map
5 Seconds 1 2
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 5,000 gil. B-Ranks are passive and so have the tier 4 blue symbol next to their name.
Aggression level 4

A-Ranks

Respawn Time ARR Respawn Time HW+ ARR # Per Map HW+ # Per Map
3.5 - 4.5 Hours 4 - 6 Hours 1 2
A-Ranks offer rewards to players if they have completed the appropriate side quests to unlock the hunt for that expansion. 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 level 4

S-Ranks

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, or "Extraordinarily Powerful Marks," have the same symbol as S-Rank as well as You sense the presence of an extraordinarily powerful mark... in the chat. However, they 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. If minions spawn, The minions of an extraordinarily powerful mark are on the hunt for prey. will appear in the chat. These minions 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 Full Parties is often essential to receive full rewards. Players must also have completed the quests for Feature QuestLet the Hunt Begin (Allied Seal Allied Seals), Feature QuestLet the Clan Hunt Begin (Centurio Seal Centurio Seals), and Feature QuestNuts to You (Sack of Nuts Sacks of Nuts) to receive those currencies. You must kill the mark on a level-capped Job to receive Allagan Tomestones other than Allagan Tomestone of Poetics Poetics.

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.

The Hunt is associated with several achievements.

Resources

Most datacenters maintain a 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, Allagan Tomestone of Poetics 360 Poetics, and 480 of that expansion's hunt currency... if all twelve marks are available.

However, if the marks have been "poached" or "sniped", meaning killed by rogue players, then the overall train earns fewer rewards, and the poachers themselves also fail to benefit at all from the train. Poaching also sets off a chain reaction by de-syncing that mark's respawn timer from the others, meaning it will likely idle out and despawn before the other marks have come back up, potentially requiring days to a week before coming back into sync for the trains.

Lore

“

To abate the threat of notorious beasts roaming free in the wilds, the Eorzean Alliance established an organized culling commonly known as the Hunt. Yet rather than assign this duty to their respective armies and risk a lessening of their ranks, the leaders of the Grand Companies instead petitioned that the tasks be assigned to adventurers and mercenaries. With a bounty on the heads of myriad menacing monsters, adventurers seeking danger and glory could now take up arms, find their marks, and reap the renown of tracking and defeating, the realm’s most dangerous game.

The independently operated Clan Centurio—brought together by Ser Leaudaste of Ishgard and colorfully known as a “ragtag band of glory hunters, mercenaries, and has-beens”—has also taken it uponnitself to rid the land of deplorables, collecting coin from the citizenry with the promise that the clan will see the realm safe. This feat they achieve by offering a portion of the amassed gil as reward to any hunter brave or foolish enough to fell the marks.

The following are excerpts taken from an official Clan Centurio mark log-a comprehensive collection of rumors and sightings compiled over centuries by past hunters. As such, some of the entries tend to be a tad more colorful than what one may find in a normal bestiary. Hunt boards plastered with the latest mark bills can now be found in almost every large settlement from Eorzea to Hingashi. Bills contain much of the information an aspiring hunter needs to know about his quarry. But without the proper seal, a kill will earn him little more than a pat on the back.
