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!


No Rest for the Weary

After completing the second quest for Neneler Jabifa, he pats you on the back and tells you how proud he is of you. He is impressed with your progress and thinks at the rate you are going, it will not be much longer before you are ready for your first bounty. Unfortunately, you're still just an apprentice and as such, cannot have your own bounty jsut yet.

To remedy the issue, Neneler makes you a proposal. If you complete one last quest he has for you, not only will he give you another piece of armor from the stores of the Hunter's League, but he will also promote you to a full member within the Hunter's League. Sounds like a plan to me, so let's get cracking.

Objectives

Cyclops Eye (0/10)
Zombie Flesh (0/15)

Cyclops Eye

Zombie Flesh

CyclopsNeneler states this particular quest will be your greatest challenge yet, but he feels confident you can complete it. He wants you to bring him back the flesh of 10 zombies, and 10 Cyclops eyes. Sounds easy enough, but there are some rough battles ahead.

I'd suggest completing the Cyclops eyes first unless you already have a Zombie Flesh group standing by and ready to go. Neneler is going to try to send you off to the northeast for the Cyclops eyes, but there is a much easier place to gather them.

Rather than following his directions, simply head straight west and you'll quickly find a large Cyclops group. These are level 20-21 3-dot mobs that can be handled relatively easily and they all can drop a Cyclops eye. You only need 10 and the drop rate is fairly consistent, so you shouldn't need to kill more than 15-20 of them for the eyes.

After collecting the requisite number of Cyclops Eyes, it's time to go gather some Zombie Flesh from the underground ruin of Kalendra's Cove. There are a couple of different ways you can go about this, depending on what time of day it is and what kind of luck you have getting a group together for this part of the quest.

ZombieIf you get a group together, it's a pretty straightforward affair of going do the stairs, and continuing to go straight until you hit a room filled with level 20 4-dot zombies. They won't drop a piece of flesh every time, so a little patience may be in order. If you don't get all 10 pieces on the first run, fear not. The respawn timer for this room has been shortened considerably compared to the old rate we all have heard horror stories about.

If you're unable to gather a group, you could also be escorted by a high level character. You won't get any xp for it if so, but at least you'll get the drops. I imagine you could technically do this with the majority of the quests, but there's really no need. For some reason, this quest is often looked at as a bottleneck point, so keep this method in mind if you finally lose patience trying to get a group.

After you've gathered all the Cyclops Eyes and Zombie Flesh you need, head out and make your way back to Neneler Jabifa to claim your reward. Neneler will grant you a piece of armor from their stores, a new title (Member of the Hunter's League), and instruct you to head northwest and speak to Roskva Dobaja at Skawlra Rock.

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.
