A-Rank Train

Learn how to find and participate in A-Rank Hunt Trains in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. Discover the best methods for joining these community events to cap your weekly Tomestones.

Alright, let's talk about the 'Hunt Train,' a term you'll hear thrown around a lot in Final Fantasy XIV. Basically, it's when a big group of players teams up to hunt down all the A-Rank Marks in a specific order across different zones. It's honestly one of the fastest ways to max out your weekly Tomestones, so it's super useful to know how to get in on it!

How to Find a Hunt Train

You've got a few options here. You could try asking in /shout in the main cities if anyone's inviting people to a Hunt Train Linkshell or Free Company. Sometimes, you'll see them posted in the in-game Party Finder. But honestly, the most reliable way is to join community Discord servers dedicated to this. The most popular ones are Clan Centurio and Faloop. Faloop even has a handy app you can install to help you out.

Here's a quick list of some of the A-Rank Marks you'll be hunting:

A-Rank Spawn Locations

These A-Rank Marks usually respawn about 4-6 hours after they've been defeated. Knowing their general locations is key!

Labyrinthos - The Northern Empty

Hulder Locations

The lore says Hulder was born from an unusual seed discovered during Labyrinthos's development. Sharlayan researchers planted it, and it grew into a magnificent, albeit terrifying, plant-like creature that sings a bewitching song. It's found in Labyrinthos.

Thavnair - Islabard

Sugriva Locations

Sugriva was once the alpha of a wolf pack in the jungles of Thavnair but was ousted by the previous alpha. Now, it roams the southern parts of Thavnair, causing trouble. It's a massive specimen, perfect for that pelt request!

Yilan Locations

Yilan, meaning 'snake' in Au Ra's Hannish language, is a repulsive creature found in Thavnair. It's known to emit aether from its photophores that shrinks its prey, making it easier to swallow whole. Definitely not a pleasant sight.
