Spoiler As the first suns of the first Umbral Moon draw near, it is once again time for the Great Hunt to begin. Though once a small tradition held solely between friends, the Great Hunt has become much more in recent moons. A time of competition between friends, to flaunt prowess in all manner of combat and magic. All in the name of adventure and kinship. Though many malicious fiends walk Eorzea these days, the most notorious of them have gone so far as to garner names for themselves amongst the people of Eorzea. To slay such a beast is a notable feat, though it seems as soon as one is destroyed, another takes it's place and fills the void.

It is the threat those notorious monsters pose that draws Adventurers from all over the realm gather together for the Great Hunt. By joining arms, they set forth to conquer these beasts and reap the rewards of their defeat. Everything from closely guarded treasures, to highly sought after materials that craftsmen from all over the land long for.

The gathering is not all business, however. Many Adventurer's have taken to gathering together for drinks at the Mizzenmast after a successful hunt to boast and tell tales of their adventures, both new and old.

As the first Umbral Moon rises, these brave Adventurers set their eyes upon La Noscea and the beasts that call it home.


A myriad of tough foes. While challenging in their own right, they all pale in comparison to the biggest prize of all, and the hopeful climax of the hunt. A Great Buffalo.

SpoilerThough hosted primarily for the Blue Skies adventuring linkpearl, this event is open to any and all players who wish to attend. There is no level requirement, though you may want to go on a higher or lower level class depending on the situation at hand. The idea is to promote RP within the community out in the wilds of Eorzea, as well as assist new and old roleplayers alike in obtaining rare Notorious Monster equipment.

Gathering for the Great Hunt will take place on Saturday, February 4th at 6:30pm CST at the Anchor Yards (Limsa-Lominsa upper decks, west of the Blacksmith and Armorer's guild. Click here for a map.) The event will commence at 7:00pm, with the climactic hunt of the Great Buffalo beginning at 8:00pm if numbers suffice. There is no required level to participate, though your highest level is recommended for the Great Buffalo. Any loot obtained during the event will be rolled for based on a need system. Members will break off into smaller groups to hunt specific NMs. Which group will be going after which NMs will be decided before we depart, and groups will shuffle between NMs as needed. An IC "pearl" will be given out at the event (not a real linkshell) that will be used to regroup the hunting parties for the final fight with the Great Buffalo. A gathering will be held back at the Anchor Yards after the hunt concludes.

If you are able and wish to attend, please make a note here on the thread (In-character or out.) so that the event organizers can do their best to prepare ahead of time.
