Elite Hunt Marks

[Jaxgray]

Consistent with new data, and the fact that it's spawned before from HQ sandwiches less commonly. I think he has multiple pre-destined spawn location randomly chosen waiting for any food to be eaten there.... any food. Its not the quantity that does it, but the fact that we are eating lvl 5 food with more surface area i.e 300 steaks across the map instead of 50 sandwiches. That would explain why it spawned from sandwiches (rarely) and Steak (often). ^ like the translation said, he ate his keepers when they ate in front of him.... you all said he popped right on top of you. In theory it could take a single steak in the right place.

If we can nail down all the spawn locations for the forum it could be as easy as 5-10 steaks with 1 person. but I need everyone's past location data to test.

For the people it popped on top of.. HQ or normal Steak?

So far:

(22,34)
(22,14) My spawn
(17, 13)
(18, 17)
(27,21)

Spawned at (22,34) today.

edit: fixed my crappy coordinate. Idk how you know i meant 34 lol

It looks like it's a HQ Steak, i'm following this guy who probably pops most of the Thedas and Zonas, and he just popped Brontes on Midgard at (27,21).

You know what kind of steak he ate?

Ah bought or crafted in cthan then eaten?

He crafted it; he also tested it with NQs and HQs he made. Only the HQs triggered the spawn.

He said he specifically went to each known spawn and tried the NQ and then HQ. HQ resulted in an immediate pop. So all the credit for this simple pop goes to Most Dangerous of Midgardsormr (also he stole my name).

Do any of you that have just have Brontes pop know how long (in hours) it was since Brontes was last killed?

On Midgardsormr? Probably like never. lol

[faq]

Since we've been doing the method the longest I may have the most data. Down time appears to be 36 hours since I've killed him twice in 37 hours time popping him both times.

(17, 13)
(18, 17)

Those are the 2 last pos's. I run through all the A spawn locations that I've seen the cactus at and hit HQ there, and a few in between spots.

I think it would make the most sense if there was, once the window was open, a arbitrary chance for it to pop when a piece of food is eaten.

Possibly 5% for normal quality food and 15% for HQ food (this is just an example, I have no data to suggest actual rates at all) - the fact that it was easy to spawn for a lot of servers once the method was revealed suggests it doesn't have one specific place holder spawn, but a chance per food consumed.

We popped it with normal steak. We moved through map systematically from bottom to top. 3 people, and 33 steaks each. it only took us 3 minutes to reach our respected part of the cross shaped map and cover everything. This is my 3rd (first for server) pop.

From what I've gathered... you might be able to pop this guy with any dish. That would explain the few finger sandwich pops on ultros, and Goblin.

In 36 hours (thanks Faq) i'm gonna use the exact same method, but with raisins. Ill post what I find

[Madeline]

Dead on Balmung. Spawned next to me cooking HQ, another guy was nearby eating NQ steak.

Yay, one less of these assholes to worry about.

[Arthars]

popped around the same time you guys posted

was having less than 40 people on it, during silent JP hour

not sure if anyone eat anything this time tho....we had 100+ people eating/cooking any meals last night with no luck

gotta try mammot steak 24 hrs after maint tomorrow :D

rofl, I love you SE

So torn, my main character is on hyperion which is a fucking nightmare for hunts, my alt is on a lolserver that's completely dead. My alt was made to play with friends who never play anymore, so I want to transfer him to hyperion to do actual content but I make it to seriously every single elite that pops on this dead ass server, hard to give that up.

[Kaslo]

I realized last night that I'm at the point that the only reason for me to do hunts in minions and achievements. (until next week when I buy caster body)

The following change has been made to “The Hunt”.

The Elite Mark Bill has been adjusted so that when it is updated the same monster will not be the targeted mark two weeks in a row.

Epic troll indeed.

I did some cleanup on the OP for very obvious reasons. If I misplaced any pop conditions let me know.

[Sigmakan]

La Noscean Leeks is 408 gathering. Grade 3 La Noscea Soils is 370 gathering. Judgeray doesnt need 360 (might be around 330 or lower). Glimmerscale doesnt need 360 (somewhere around 300). Obviously having a higher gathering will help land the fish.

Oh god thank you

Very nice; just adding the S-rank mob names next to the zone has spared me a lot of alt-tabbing. You have a minor formatting error after Brontes by the way (E Than mob's list function is off).
