Locations and Ranks of Elite Marks

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 Rank B Elite Mark. By killing the the mark, player is awarded 5,000 gil and 50 Allied Seals.

Regular and 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: rank B (lowest risk), rank A, and rank S (highest risk). Upon defeating elite marks, players will receive rewards including Allied Seals, Allagan Tomestones of Mythology and Allagan Tomestones of Soldiery.

New marks will be posted on the Hunt board at the following times:

  • Regular Mark Bills: Daily at 11:00 AM (EST) or 8:00 AM (PDT)
  • Elite Mark Bills: Weekly on Tuesday at 4:00 AM (EST) or 1:00 AM (PDT)

Rewards

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 Seals received from the Hunt can be exchanged for exclusive wares by speaking with the Hunt Billmaster at your Grand Company. Rewards include Weapons, Armor, Minions, Sands of Time, Oil of Time, and Alexandrite.

  • Each Elite mob has a chance of dropping a Blood-spattered Mark Log.
  • As of the Patch 2.35 update B rank mobs will no longer give rewards upon their defeat and they will respawn 5 seconds after death. B ranks will only be necessary to kill for Weekly Elite Mark Bill which will now give a reward of 5,000 gil and 50 Allied Seals.
