What Are Dawntrail Hunts?
Dawntrail Hunts (also known as Guildship Hunts) are a system of mark-based PvE content introduced in the Dawntrail expansion. Similar to previous expansions, you’ll defeat marked enemies across new zones for currency and upgrade materials.
There are four tiers of Hunts:
- 🥉 Junior Hunt
- 🥈 Associate Hunt
- 🥇 Senior Hunt
- 👑 Elite Hunt
Tip: Unlocking each Hunt tier also gives access to higher rewards — ideal for farming materia, tomestones, and cosmetics. For the fastest unlock and grind support, check out Onlyfarms.gg’s Leveling & Gearing services.
