Watching some pug walk past Mirka (The mammoth, or was that Lyuba?) on a mount, get sucked in and one shot was just too funny.

[Eludi]

Old A ranks give 15 centurio seals and S ranks 35

[Taint]

Whats the difficulty of these?

B rank solo at 60?
A rank party at 60?
S rank zone zerg at 60?

[Luthia]

A ranks give 10 tomes of Law at lvl 60, and seems like they can be "exploited" atm since the multiple zones thingamajic.

[ryuuken]

Whats the difficulty of these?

B rank solo at 60?
A rank party at 60?
S rank zone zerg at 60?

B rank easily can be done solo
A rank with a party of 8 is fine
idk about S rank

What can you buy with the seals ?

[Gokulo]

What can you buy with the seals ?

Some normal stuff like minions etc, but also items needed to upgrade Doman Weapons and armors.

Finding hunts with flying is a real pain in the ass. You have to be so close to the ground for names to render.

So talking to the NPC in the tavern, it seems he gives information on all the hunts in the Azys Lia. An interesting piece of information for the reference, is his quote and name of the S-rank:

Leucrotta
The southern continent of Meracydia was a land of Dragons. The monsters came in all shapes and sizes, each species evolving to fit into its own particular habitat.
Take the courel-dragon - a beast that made its home in the Meracydian jungles. It started off as a dragon like any other, but over time it lost its wings, being unext to useless in the thick brush, and gained the flexible body and muscular limbs of a courel.
They were fierce hunters and scavengers, dirven into a feeding frenzy the moment they c aught scent of beast blood. The merchants who posted the bill reckons one of these beasts, a courel dragon by the name of Leucrotta, is up in the clouds right now, living on an abandoned allagan island

S rank is 100 poetics, 30 law, 100 seals. Gryphon spawned on Ultros.

This is a post from my reddit topic with all the information I've gathered so far.

**The Pale Rider [S-rank: Dravanian Forelands] **
Another request sent by a Sharlayan Scholar from the safety of his homeland. The fellow's uncovered an ancient prophecy, saying that in the end of days, a deathly knight will rise from the grave and bring death and destruction to Dravania atop an ashen steed.

If the Scholar is right, and this "end of days" does indeed refer to the Seventh Umbral Calamity, then this supernatural horseman should already be among us, but I don't see any death and destruction around here. Well, no more than normal, anyways...

Honestly, I think it's all a pile of chocobo plop. There was an adventurer passed through the other day, said he'd seen a headless horseman out in the hinterlands when she was hunting for treasure... but believe you me, you can trust those looters as far as you can throw them!

**Leucrotta [S-Rank: Azys Lla]**

**Senmurv [S-rank: Dravanian Forelands] **
'Ave ye ever set yer eyes on a griffin, Caex'ra? They're 'alf eagle, 'alf lion, an' all 'unter. Just like a chocobo trapper, they stalk their prey from the shadows - or in their case the clouds - waitin' fer the perfect time to strike.

The chocobo 'unters o' Tailfeather've got a certain credo about pickin' when to spring the trap - "'unt the 'unter,", they say. Whatever quarry yer after, ye stand better chance o' catchin' it unawares if it's busy tryin' to catch its own prey.

Seems it's a motto ol' Senmurv's taken to 'eart. Whenever a group of 'ungry beasts 'eads out on the 'unt, the king o' the griffins'll swoop down from the sky an carry off as many as 'is beak'll 'old.

So, Eanae, I believe it's very possible that your S-rank spawned as a result of the 1-3 mark bills, and likewise A-ranks being killed in the area! It's very likely you guys just drew the lottery on your pop for this one.

Hyperion spawned the S rank in Forelands, Semvurb yesterday, was a massive red-eye fest =)

Question about the mark bills. Can I do the rank 2/3 hunt bills on my second job if they aren't 56/58? Like can I flag on my 60 then do it on my second job for exp/marks?

[Gokulo]

Should be able yeah

[Rehn]

Just confirming in case you still had doubts. Got bills 1-3 on my MNK60, and did all of them as PLD51 (cut it close on those Lv58-59 marks, they are pretty tough due to level difference). I sometimes had a friend just help me kill the tougher ones, while doing the lower level ones on my own.

With these 20k exp here and there, it really bumps you along steadily in the grind.

[Ratatapa]

Also people are surely aware but 2.0 A ranks gives 15 Centurio Seals

[Black]

old S ranks give 35 C seals

[Avarice]

Has anyone managed to decipher any of the new world S Rank riddles/spawn conditions yet?

[Taint]

Any tips for hunting with the 2 instances? Is there a good place to hang out for hitting zone lines, or is it tele and pray?
