Is there any way to make the Servant Hunts take less time (by a factor of hours)?

The Real Time Limitations are playing hell with my ability to use servants on my solo play server, is there any setting to lower the amount of time it takes for them to hunt (i already have their CONVERSION set to MAX, so it takes about 4 minutes.)

Hunt times continue to pass while logged off on private servers now.

I don't believe so, no. Suzaku is correct so long as the server remains running; if it ever stops so does the clock on the minions being sent out. There's a really good guide put out by Stunlock on how to set up a server and connecting to it locally is pretty easy so you can leave it running without actually having the game open.

Not the best solution but it works for me when I wanna play solo :)

This was an undocumented change in the Gloomrot update. You can shut the game down, and therefore the server, and return later to find that the mission timers update appropriately.

Tested it myself. Set 8-hour missions for my servants, closed the game, went to bed. Woke up the next morning, launched the game, missions completed.

Something like that should never be undocumented since it's one of the biggest complaints about single player progression outside the boss encounters being balanced towards groups.

Cool, now if only the OTHER timers worked that way (e.g. Castle Heart, Horses, etc)
