NM Hunt

Era has a custom Notorious Monster Hunt with gil and exclusive item rewards.

## How to Participate

Start off by talking to the bird looking Explorer Moogle in front of the auction house in Ru'lude Gardens. The NPC will then give you a clue, hint, or riddle that will point you in the direction of some NM in game. Once you kill a NM in game its recorded to you character. Go back to the Explorer Moogle and ask him if you found the right one. If its right, you will be rewarded with Gil or a special item. Every 5th kill gives you another special item you cant find anywhere else.

You have 2 weeks to find your current Hunt. you can reclick the moogle at any time to see your clue again and to see time remaining to find it. If you can't find it within your time limit the next time you click him he will give you a new Hunt.

If you have completed a Hunt you have a 3 day rest to start the next while the moogle thinks of a new one for you.

Every character has their own personal Hunt, the current objective is not shared across the server. Should you find yourself camping the same NM against someone, feel free to team up since everyone in the party that kills it gets credit.
