The Excelsior Hunting Event
The Excelsior Hunting Event
Greetings hunters! It is time to sharpen your arrows and re-wrap your bow grips for a hunting event!
For the next 5 weeks, participants will be hunting the Britannian Stag.
Killing these stags will frequently yield a trophy. Look on their corpses for these trophies:
They will vary depending on the stag's weight, the points on it's rack, 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: 150-350 lbs (x 0.1) [Example: Weight of 217 = Score of 21.7]
Rack: 4-24 point [Score of 4-24]
Quality: Poor (10), Fair (15), Average (20), Above Average (25), Superior (30), Peerless (35) [Score of 10-35]
Total Score = Weight Score + Rack 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 February 12th 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 February 15th 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 February 12th deadline.
All trophies are submitted by dropping them into the chest inside the hunting cabin. The cabin is found just south of 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.
The Behavior of the Britannian Stag:
The younger and adolescent stags of this species freely roam around the T2A area. However, the older and more dominant males tend to stay still and are more aware. This allows them to blend into their surrounding and seem virtually invisible. Skilled hunters with good tracking ability will be able to spot these older stags when they are looking.
Rewards list to come later...
Happy Hunting!

Re: The Excelsior Hunting Event
Are the Stags in T2A Fel only or in Trammel as well? The pointer in the picture looks like a Tram pointer but I have looked and not seen any in T2A Trammel.
Re: The Excelsior Hunting Event
The stags are located in trammel T2A. We fixed a problem yesterday with certain areas being guarded that should not be. Hope everyone is having fun with the event

Re: The Excelsior Hunting Event
Hi! It's really a nice event! I really enjoy running around Lost Lands and discovering new places!
But where does one drop his trophy when he thinks he just got the biggest one possible? :P I can't find any box or anywhere to drop them :P

Re: The Excelsior Hunting Event
The box is located inside the hunting lodge
