Hunter's League Guides


With the recent influx of new players to the servers recently, what better set of quests to do guides for than the popular Hunter's League? The Hunter's League quests are not only a great opportunity to get some good grouping skills down in your late teens and early 20's, but they also offer a very impressive set of armor and weapon of choice, all of which is tailor made for each class! Enough jaw jacking though, let's get to the guides!


Neneler Jabifa2Moving on Up

The first quest in the Hunter's League series begins with a gentleman by the name of Neneler Jabifa. Fortunately for you, he has to be one of the most conveniently placed quest holders in the entire game. Simply locate your closest riftway, and take a trip over to the Skrilien Point riftway (northwest tip of Qalia), and the turn to the east. Yep, that's him standing right there just waiting to greet you. If only the meat of each quest were that easy, you'd have it made!

Neneler is more than willing to greet you with open arms as a new member of the Hunter's League, but to get the full title (not to mention that full suit of armor and weapon), you're going to need to complete a few tasks for him. The Hunter's League needs a continual supply of Living Flames and Vials of Corruption. As a new recruit, take a wild guess whom this task falls to? You guessed it, so rather than standing around twiddling your thumbs, it's time to get some work done.



Objectives

Living Flame (0/10)
Vial of Corruption (0/20)

Vial of Corruption


Fortunately, both items are located relatively close to Neneler. That's the good news. The not-so-good news is how you need to acquire them, but since you been in the game for at least a little while now, this really shouldn't come as any big surprise.

Living FlameTo gather the Living Flames, you need to follow your marker a short distance to the northwest and start killing Living Flames. The Flames are level 17 and 18 3-dot mobs. The Living Flames tend to drop pretty steadily, so while you won't get one with each kill, it's not a long process to gather the necessary 10.

By themselves, most classes should not have a problem soloing both this part, and the gathering of the Vials of Corruption. Mixed in amongst the flames are a large number of wandering lizard men as well. As a friendly warning, be prepared to run sometimes. The lizards (and the Flames for that matter) are highly social and have a very wide agro radius. It's not surprising to pull a lizard that appears to be by himself, or with a single friend, just to realize that your screen has just lit up with a stack of 6+ targets. If you stay on your toes, you should be able to run away without much hassle.

Coven Enticer 2After gathering up your 10 Living Flames, follow your marker west to Kalendra's Coven. Later on in the series, you'll be coming back here to enter the Coven itself, but for this first quest, you only need be concerned with the surface ruins. There are a number of different humans on the surface here and all of them can drop a Vial of Corruption. The drop rate on the Vials appeared to be slower than that of the Flames, but it still does not take an inordinate amount of time to complete this section. There are more than enough targets to go through here, so you should have to spend any time waiting for mobs to respawn. The humans on the surface are level 17 and 18 3-dots, just like the Living Flames we just finished with.

Eventually, you'll have all the Living Flames and Vials of Corruption you require to complete the first quest. As soon as you gather them up, head back to Neneler to tell him the good news. He'll give you a quick congratulations and in the same breath tell you that even though you're a member of the Hunter's League now, you will still be expected to assist them when required. On the plus sides, the rewards are well worth it.


Upon completion, Neneler will offer you your choice of shoulder piece. As a Dread Knight going through this, I could only see the choices for Heavy Fighters. As time goes on, I'll continue to add the other armor pieces for other classes. For now though, this should give everyone an idea of the quality of these rewards.
