The Hunt Club
After the events at Draklor Laboratory, you can return to the Phon Coast Hunter’s Camp and speak to the “Shady Bangaa’s” to initiate the Hunt Club Sidequest. You’ll need to tell him that you are a “Bird of Prey”.
Once you start the quest, there are 30 unique monsters that will spawn in various locations in the game. Some are not going to be able to be completed until you have completed the events at the Pharos Lighthouse.
The Hunt Club – Spawn Locations and Conditions
Be aware that some of these monsters spawn in the same locations as some of the Clan Centurio Hunts, making some of those Hunts far more difficult than they need to be since you would need to deal with both monsters at the same time. You can always wait until you have completed the majority of the Clan Centurio Hunts before beginning the Hunt Club.
Below you’ll find the location and spawn conditions for the Hunts. It is a good idea to do them in order, as later Hunts tend to be more difficult and this also allows you to keep track of which you have completed.
**Many of these hunts are great sources of rare materials needed for the Bazaar. To steal multiples of a rare item, you just need to steal the first and then leave the area and come back without having killed the monster. This will reset what it is holding and allow you to steal multiple from the same monster.**

The Hunt Club – Rewards
The rewards for this side quest work based on which of the three Bangaa’s you trade in the completed hunts too. You have 30 Hunts to turn in and based on the split between the 3 Bangaa’s you’ll unlock various different weapons, armor, or accessories for purchase at the nearby “Shifty-Eyed Man”. Since the bulk of the items can be obtained through other methods, the choice is really up to you as to what you want to shoot for. The only exception is if you require more than one set of Genji Gloves for your build, then make sure to prioritize unlocking them.
**Remember that each item, once unlocked, is only available for purchase ONCE, and all of them are available in other places as well.**
