# Mapping S-Ranks
## What is mapping S-Ranks?
Mapping S-Rank spawn points are important for spawning [landmine spawns](https://about/spawning/spawn-types.html#landmine-spawns). You have to be located on the spawn point in order for the spawn to succeed.

**TIP**
Faloop lets you filter B-ranks by landmine spawns.

## How to Map S-Ranks
S-Rank spawn points are determined randomly either after the last one died, or once servers come back online after maintenance. **The A-Ranks and B-Ranks in that zone will not appear on any spot that is reserved for the S-Rank.** **An S-Rank will not spawn on the same spot twice in a row.** Spawners can determine the spawn point of an S-rank by marking down where the As and Bs have appeared, as well as the last spot the S-Rank spawned before it died.
B-Rank hunts respawn 6 seconds after dying. **By killing the B-Ranks and marking where they appear, we can eliminate where the S-rank can’t spawn, and by doing so, find the spawn point.**
A-Ranks have a longer cooldown, and will also take up a space that the B-Rank cannot spawn in. If you have narrowed down the spawn point to 2 (or 3 if the zone has 2 B ranks) spots and the A-Ranks aren’t up, you can wait until the A ranks respawn before fully mapping.

**TIP**
Some B-Ranks appear in places that the S-Rank can't. Keep this in mind when killing B-Ranks.

* [Faloop](https://faloop.app/) has a mapping feature under the “B-Ranks” tab. You need permissions granted in order to view this tab. These are marked manually.
* [Bear Tracker ](https://aetherhunt.beartoolkit.com/timer)has a mapping feature that can be viewed upon clicking a map icon on an S rank row. These are usually automatically marked by a bot but can also be marked manually.
* [PuniMapper](https://punimapper.ffxivhunts.com/) is a site that lets you map on your own without being connected to a server.
### How to Map on Faloop
To report a sighting of a B-Rank, go to the B-Rank tab, and click the zone that you are mapping. Select the spot (should be a blue dot. If it's a green dot, it was already marked) where you have found the B-Rank on the map, and click the **New Sighting** button.
The colors of each dot on the map corresponds to the following:
