Learn how Hunts work in Final Fantasy XV! Discover how to start, complete, and repeat them for Gil, Hunter Rank stars, and special rewards.

Hey there! So, you're diving into Final Fantasy XV and want to know about Hunts? Awesome! Hunts are a super fun way to earn some extra goodies and beef up your Hunter Rank. Think of them as side quests where you track down and take out specific monsters that are causing trouble.

Here's the lowdown: you'll head to any restaurant and chat with a 'tipster.' They'll give you the intel on monsters that need dealing with. You can only pick up one Hunt at a time, which is a bit of a quirk, but once you finish it, you'll get a few things: stars to boost your Hunter Rank, some much-needed Gil, and a cool item or piece of equipment.

The best part? You can actually repeat Hunts you've already completed! You won't get the full reward each time, but you'll still snag a portion of the Gil, which is great for grinding. This is especially handy if you're after a specific item drop from a unique Hunt, like the Zu. Oh, and keep an eye on your Hunter Rank – hitting a new rank actually nets you a special item!

Here's a look at the Hunter Ranks and what you get:
