Excelsior Boar Hunting Event

Post by +Veritas »

Greetings hunters! It is time yet again to sharpen your arrows and re-wrap your bow grips for another hunting event!

For the next 2 weeks, participants will be hunting the Britannian Boar.

Killing these boars will yield a trophy. Look on their corpses for these trophies:

They will vary depending on the boar's weight, tusk length, and the overall quality of the harvested trophy. These trophies are not permanent items, but are used to calculate your total score at the end of the quest. The score ranges are as follows:

Weight: 100-700 lbs (x 0.1) [Example: Weight of 217 = Score of 21.7]
Tusk Length: 1-18 inch [Score of 1-18]
Quality: Poor (10), Fair (15), Average (20), Above Average (25), Superior (30), Peerless (35) [Score of 10-35]

Total Score = Weight Score + Tusk Length Score + Quality Score

Participants are allowed to submit only one trophy during this event, so it is to the advantage of each player to only keep their highest valued trophy and trash their lowest ones. All trophies are bound to their looter and will not be counted if this person is different from the one submitting the trophy. There is nothing against keeping a few extra trophies for decoration, but keep in mind that they are temporary and will be deleted after the completion of the quest.

The last hunting day will be September 6th and will end at 8:00am shard time. After this time, there will be a 3-day period where players can submit their trophies. On September 9th at 8:00am shard time, submissions will no longer be accepted and the results will be calculated. There will be multiple rewards for the highest scoring participants as well as a general reward for all participants. Please remember the dates and times of importance. If you are unable to log in during the 3-day period after hunting, then you will need to submit your best trophy prior to the September 9th deadline.

All trophies are submitted by dropping them into the chest inside the hunting cabin. The portal to the cabin is found above the world teleporter in Trammel Papua.

Please Note:
-One submission per account. Multiple submissions on one character or account will disqualify you from the event.
-When you submit your trophy, you are done with the quest. There are no redos or "I accidentally submitted the wrong trophy" excuses that will result with a resubmission.

About the Britannian Boar:

Britannian Boars are very territorial animals, and like to distance themselves from other boars. While they are not dragons, they are still very resilient animals that can survive many wounds and have earned quite a reputation from killing novice hunters. There are many locations where the Britannian Boar can be found. Sightings have been made in the forested areas south and northwest of Felucca Trinsic, east of Sgail (Felucca Skara Brae), between the mountain ranges northeast of Sgail, northeast of Felucca Yew, northeast of Felucca Britian, and northeast of Felucca Vesper.

Rewards list to come later...

Happy Hunting!

I believe that there is no tracking needed to find them... spoken to a few and they inform me that the boars they found... we random luck finds...


So what I'm saying is just hunt them... and remember that you are not the only hunter which might mean some one got the area's spawn already...

Made some adjustments to the spawn rates. You are likely to have an easier time finding them now.

With just over a week to go before this is finished is there any chance of knowing what the rewards list will be?

Gotta say this has been one of my favourites! who'd thought it could be as fun running around for miles sometimes not seeing a boar in like an hour before sometimes having one killed and an instant spawn!

Good times and hope i've got a winner, but the search continues!!
