Defeating any Shadowbringers S Rank mark has the chance to spawn four Forgiven Gossip enemies in four set locations across the map. If this happens, you will receive the message "The minions of an extraordinarily powerful mark are on the hunt for prey..." Upon defeating all four of these enemies, the SS Rank Forgiven Rebellion will spawn.
Shadowbringers Hunt Rewards
Hunts in Shadowbringers reward Sacks of Nuts, which can be traded in for cosmetics, materia, older gear from the expansion, and upgrade items for current gear in the expansion. Hunting is a great way to acquire upgrade items for Cryptlurker gear purchased with Allagan Tomestone of Revelation. You can trade in your nuts at either Xylle in The Crystarium (x9, y10) or Ilfroy in Eulmore (x11, y11).
In addition, Elite Marks will reward Sacks of Nuts and tomestones. The table below are the rewards for maximum contribution.
- A Ranks reward 40 Sack of Nuts, 30 Allagan Tomestones of Poetics, and 10 Allagan Tomestone of Aphorism.
- S Ranks reward 100 Sack of Nuts, 100 Allagan Tomestones of Poetics, and 30 Allagan Tomestone of Aphorism.
- SS Ranks reward 400 Sack of Nuts, 200 Allagan Tomestones of Poetics, and 50 Allagan Tomestone of Aphorism.
