Meldacio Hunter HQ

Meldacio Hunter HQ is an outpost in the Cleigne region in Final Fantasy XV. It is inhabited by hunters, and has a caravan, restaurant, item and weapon shops, and a rent-a-bird. It is located under a natural stone arch. It is on the road that leads to Vesperpool.

:Base of operations for the organization tasked with defending the Lucian continent. The Hunters undertake a wide range of missions, including but not limited to the extermination of dangerous beasts, the exploration of ancient ruins, and the investigation of missing persons.
:While most Lucians are familiar with the Hunters organization, few know its true origins, which date back some 150 years. In those days, the Wall kept the Crown City safe from the threat of imperial invasion, but the lands outside the capital were all but defenseless against the daemons. Thus, a band of Insomnian refugees took it upon themselves to keep the people of the outlands from harm, and the Hunters were born.
:The outpost currently serving as Hunter HQ was once employed by the Lucian military, then refurbished by members of the organization in order to better brace themselves for a potential daemon attack. The buildings have largely fallen into disrepair, however, a sign that the Hunters' glory days may be behind them.
==Story==
The outpost was once employed by the Lucian military, and was refurbished by the Hunters, although it has fallen into disrepair. When Noctis Lucis Caelum and his retinue visit the Meldacio Hunter HQ, they help a hunter out by felling a Melusine. Noctis meets with Ezma Auburnbrie, the leader of the Hunters, and receives a key to deepest parts of the dungeons that the party have already explored.
When darkness overruns Eos Meldacio Hunter HQ is fortified and the Hunters move their headquarters to Lestallum, although the outpost remains an important strategic station. When EXINERIS Industries sends power to the Hunter HQ, they begin taking in refugees, including Biggs and Wedge, who help bolster up security with imperial soldiers. It is unknown if Meldacio Hunter HQ survives the full ten years that Noctis is in the Crystal.

==Quests==
===Darts===
There is a dartboard on the wall of a building on the western side of the outpost where the player can play a little minigame. Hitting bullseye is the best result, and awards 6 AP on the first landing. The minigame yields no further prizes if played again.
===Scraps of Mystery XII===
The western side of Meldacio Hunter HQ has a building with trees and flowers on the porch. The map is behind the western side in the yellow bin round the corner. It marks a spot at the curve of the road in Pallareth Pass. The treasure is in a concrete bunker.
===Sania's quests===
The player can meet Sania Yeagre at the west side of the outpost who asks for Noctis and friends to collect fireflies from Myrlwood. They are easily spotted on the ground when it is dark.
Sania's final quest is to send Noctis to find rainbow frogs without giving a clue as to their location beyond that they are near water. Bringing her the frogs rewards 15,000 EXP and a Ribbon.
===Mountains of Misfortune===
After helping him twice at Old Lestallum, Dave relocates to the Hunter HQ and is found on a terrace of a house. The local tipster can help with the tag's exact location. The Polished Dog Tag is near the Steyliff Grove ruins.
===The Witch of the Woods===
Dave's last quest has him go missing, and the tipster at Verinas Mart - Ravatogh asks the party to look for him. Dave is found near Malmalam Thicket, marveling at a sign that forbids hunters from entering. The player needs to talk to Kimya Auburnbrie at the House of Hexes nearby who directs the party to the depths of Malmalam Thicket to find the dog tags. After defeating the boss at the end of the woofs, the party can find the tags to the left of the tomb. Dave is found in Meldacio Hunter HQ to yield his final reward.
===O Partner, My Partner===
The quest was added in patch 1.13. In Chapter 8 the player can find a hunter at the HQ to sends the party to fell Melusine at the Vesperpool. She is a fearsome daemon that appears at night and disappears at daybreak, so the player has a time limit for the battle. The recommended level is 99, but the player can easily complete the quest on lower levels with the right preparations. Returning to the hunter after felling Melusine has him relate his story and yield 10,000 EXP and a Magitek Suit.
