Bounty hunts can be undertaken at restaurants. More often than not, the bounty in question is far more dangerous than the local beasts. However, successful hunts provide extra EXP and gil, so they are worth the added challenge.

Hunt-Accepted-FFXV

The player accepts a hunt.

Hunts are quests in Final Fantasy XV that have the player slay a specific enemy or a group of enemies somewhere in the world for a reward. Hunts can be undertaken from places where the player can eat, whose servers act as tipsters (only one diner in Lucis doesn't offer hunts: the Tozus Counter in Lestallum). The player could initially have only one hunt active at a time, but patch 1.17 added an option to accept up to ten hunts at once. A completed hunt can be turned in to any tipster. Hunts can be repeated. Hunts can be done in Lucis and Altissia.

Yellow markers denote easier hunts, whereas red markers denote harder hunts (where Carbuncle's Blessing is not available in Easy Mode). Some monsters only come out during certain times of day. Taking on a nighttime hunt during the day gives an option to skip to nightfall (7 PM) when signing up for the quest at the tipster's location. The player can also go to a camp to skip time (the hour of nightfall time is earlier at the camp than at the tipster's location; night also falls earlier every chapter until it resets in Chapter 15).

Completing a hunt earns the My First Hunt achievement/trophy.

Hunter rank[]

Achieving highest hunter rank in FFXV

Attaining highest hunter rank.

The player's hunter rank determines which hunts they can take on: they must be of sufficient rank to take on increasingly more difficult hunts. To rank up, the player must accumulate a set amount of new stars, which differ for each hunter rank. To earn stars, the player must complete new bounty hunts: the more difficult the hunt, the more new stars will be earned. The player can repeat an already completed bounty hunt and will receive the same EXP and a lower amount of gil, but not stars and the item reward. Upon reaching a new rank, they earn a bonus reward.

Behind the scenes[]

Bounty-poster-FFXV

A hunt poster.

The hunt posters around the world read: Kenny and Kelly Crow say: "Only YOU can keep our nests safe!" Talk to a local tipster and join the hunt today! This refers to Smokey Bear, an American advertising mascot created to educate the public about the dangers of forest fires. His later slogan "Remember... Only YOU Can Prevent Forest Fires" was created in 1947.

The name for acquiring Hunter Rank 10 is "Alleyway Jack", the name Gilgamesh adopts in Final Fantasy IX.
