Types of Spawn Conditions
S-Rank Elite Hunt marks in FFXIV have hidden conditions in order to spawn. These conditions often have similarities or follow certain patterns.
There are many types of spawn condition patterns that we've seen the FFXIV developers re-use. Here are a few (but not all) of them.
π Landmine Spawns
"Landmine" means that you have to be located on the S-Rank's spawn location in order for your attempt to succeed.
You can know what the S-Rank's spawn location is via Mapping.
Requires Minion
Moon Cycle
Death Spawns
Other
Kill Spawns
Kill spawns require a certain quota of specific overworld mobs to be killed.

Treasure Map Spawns
These S-Ranks require a treasure map chest to be opened in their respective zone. Regardless of whether the hidden timer is ready, the spawn is a chance upon the chest being opened.
