# Mapping
# Why Map?
Mapping S Rank spawn points are important for spawning landmine spawns. You have to be located on the spawn point in order for the spawn to succeed. Examples include:
- Tarchia
- Armstrong
- Burfurlur the Canny
- Narrow-Rift
- Aglaope
- Orghana
- Gamma
- Kaiser Behemoth
TIP
Faloop lets you filter B-ranks by landmine spawns.
# How to Map
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.
# Mapping Tools
- Faloop (opens new window) 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 (opens new window) 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 (opens new window) is a site that lets you map on your own without being connected to a server.
# Mapping 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:
