[2021] Dauntless Hesca Merits

So in Hesca, if you already got the merit for example (Blaze hesca) and it comes by again - can you get another merit for the same hesca? If not, this should be stated, i.e. "You can only earn one merit per Hesca"

What's not explained is this, If a player misses two hesca's, they will have to wait for those specific two to show up again to even get a chance at picking a crown (of the behemoth that they killed) - providing they have 5 merits.

So I completed 4/5 of these merits, and ran a Togo run since it was new (before the update today) and since I had completed it when it was first up (weeks ago) I completed it and expected to see 5/5 merits earned, but alas I only see 4/5 STILL. Why is it that I have to kill a behemoth that I haven't killed just to get the 5th and need to wait several weeks just to do it? Makes no sense, and as always, Phoenix Labs expects their players to read their minds. A bit of explanation about not being able to get an additional merit for a merit already earned instead of wasting the players time since nothing of the sort is posted anywhere to be read....
