Respawn Windows
Hunts aren’t always up. Once they are killed, there is a set time before they can spawn again. Once this time is reached, a “window” is opened. This is the range of time in which a hunt can spawn.
Hunts don’t spawn exactly x hours after you kill them. If you kill Luminare, it has a 4 hour respawn. Once 4 hours have passed, it has a 2 hour window. This means that it can spawn 4-6 hours after it is killed. If it has not spawned once it reaches its max window time (in this case 6 hours since it was last killed or 2 hours into its spawn window), it’ll be force spawned at the window’s max time.
A Ranks
ARR: Spawn 3-4 hours after they are killed (for some hunts is 3.5-4.5)
HW/SB/ShB: 4-6 hours after killed
B Ranks
S Ranks
ARR: windows vary by S rank - see s rank spawning guide
All: 5 seconds after kill
HW/SB/ShB: 84-132 hours after killed
Daily Hunts
Daily hunts are normal overworld mobs that you are assigned to kill. When you are assigned them, they drop seals and extra xp. You can find their spawn locations on the website http://www.ffxivhuntspath.com/arr/
Actually Hunting (wow)
Hunts are shared through various channels to allow people to come to the hunt and kill it. Linkshells are in game chat channel that you can be invited to. They are server specific (can only house members from 1 server and can only be seen while you are on that server). Crossworld linkshells are the exact same as linkshells, except they house half as many members (64 instead of 128), can be joined by a player from any server, and can be seen on any server. There are also discords dedicated to linking these hunts (aether's can be joined at http://www.aetherhunts.net/)
Hunts are shared through these channels in game using commands - these commands link coordinates that can be clicked on, which open a mark (or flag as it is commonly called) on your map. <pos> links your current location. <flag> links your most recently opened flag. <t> links the name of the mob you are currently ltargeting. <thpp> links the % hp of your current target.
Macros are an easy way to link hunts. You can pretype all of this out in a macro, then assign that to a slot on your hotbar. Macros can also be 15 lines long, so they can link to multiple linkshells/crossworld linkshells at once. Macros can be accessed from System > User Macros.
