The main difference between Patrols and Pursuits in Dauntless is the choice of hunting a random Behemoth or choosing a specific one. This choice provides advantages depending on which one you choose.
Patrols Are Random Hunts Based On Specific Elements
Patrols give you a random Behemoth to hunt, depending on the elemental attribute you choose. The Threat Level of will also be random, depending on the Behemoth you're given to hunt.
Pursuits Let You Choose Specific Behemoth To Hunt
Pursuits give you the chance to choose a specific Behemoth to hunt. This is important if you need certain parts from a certain Behemoth.
Advantage Of Patrol Missions
Receive More Orbs From Daily Patrol Boosts
One of the main advantages of Patrol missions is the chance to receive more Orbs from the Daily Patrol Boosts. This is important if you're looking to upgrade your gear using a specific elemental orb.
More Bonus Rewards On Quest Completion
Patrol missions provide you with more bonus rewards, which can include Behemoth parts or herbs needed for crafting consumables. This saves you time from farming Behemoths or crafting materials.
Random Behemoth Can Have High Threat Levels
Patrols are random hunts and you'll only find out which Behemoth you'll fight when you're in the hunt lobby. This can mean that you'll face a Behemoth with a high threat level, making it a harder hunt to complete.
Advantage Of Pursuit Missions
Target Specific Behemoth For Hunting
Pursuit missions will always allow you to choose the Behemoth you will hunt. This is perfect for Slayers who are building a certain weapon or armor set.
Has Less Bonus Rewards Than Patrols
Pursuit missions have less bonus rewards than Patrols. The main focus of the Pursuit mission is to hunt a specific Behemoth, break its parts, and do it all over again.
