Warhammer Online at Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMOG Gamers to the Next Level!

Bitter Rivals: Day 3

As the Bitter Rivals event has begun, thousands have logged in for the chance to get to play their Choppa/Slayer a week earlier than everyone else. In order to do this you have to finish ten daily quests, and unlike the past few live events, these will be given out daily and not all at once. We know that there are some of you currently sitting at work, or away from WAR, desperately wondering what today's quests will be, and accidentally inserting the words "Warhammer", "RvR", or "Slayer/Choppa" on that TPS cover sheet you have to hand to your boss later. In the interest of helping you keep your job, Ten Ton Hammer will be bringing you the latest WAR quests daily with WAR: Bitter Rivals - Quests of the Day!

Bitter Rivals: Quest #5 - Defeat 10 Enemy Players in Open RvR

The hardest part of this quest is finding Open RvR under T3 - T4. Once you do however, make sure to get yourself into a group because it'll make things go a LOT faster. Why? Well, you'll get credit for people your group kills outside of what you kill solo. Since WAR requires you to strike a death blow to register a "kill", this can be quite difficult solo... unless of course, your name is John Rambo and you've survived four seemingly impossible movie scenarios and have a fifth on the way at some point in the future, thus ensuring your success at taking down the opposing Warband single handedly. Otherwise, group is the way to go!

Bitter Rivals: Quest #6 - Defeat Any 25 Dwarfs or Greenskins

In the spirit of the new additions to the Greenskin and Dwarven races, you get to stage a wholesale slaughter on the opposing race! Aww, that's so very WAR of them! Pretty simple really. Get out there and kill the crap outta some people. Even easier, they don't have to be players. That's right. March into the Dwarven-Greenskin lands and start beating up on some NPCs! We highly recommend the Marshes of Madness PQ's for this as they have several that have an ample supply of both Greenskin and Dwarven NPCs to chose from. As to why we suggest the PQ's, see Quest #9 for more details.

Bitter Rivals: Quest #7 - Complete the Killing Quest within the Twisting Tower Scenario

More Twisting Tower! YAY! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Put the gun down, it's not that bad! So far you've had to scout the Tower and be tossed to the tower, but this is WAR after all and a special scenario wouldn't be complete without having to kill at the tower for something other than renown. This is your basic kill quest and you'll get it from the same quest giver who gave you the scouting quest on Day #1. They'll be located at the starting gate. Just like the Open RvR quest, you'll get credit for group kills so this can go pretty quick. There seems to be a limited number of times you'll be allowed to run this quest, so remember to turn the quest in when you die or start another Twisting Tower scenario.

Bitter Rivals: Quest #8 - Collect 10 Weapons of the Fallen from the Open RvR Battlefields

Ok, I just saw a bunch of hands from the non-RvR crowd get thrown up in exasperation. Fear not, my friends! You don't have to loot these off of enemy corpses that have been killed in Open RvR. You will however, need to take a risk and venture into RvR territory to get them. Scattered all around the RvR areas are glowing weapons, usually stuck in the head, the back, or some other area of a corpse of either a Dwarf or a Greenskin. Just gather it up by right clicking on it and you're done. Watch your back here though. Due to the requirements of Quest #5, there's bound to be some unsavory characters wandering about and they probably won't wave hello before they sneak up from behind you and make like the Sisters from Shawshank Redemption. I wish I could tell you you'll fight the good fight and they'll let you be. I wish I could tell you that, but WAR ain't no fairy tale world.

Bitter Rivals: Quest #9 - Complete Any 3 Stages of Any Public Quest Within Dwarf and Greenskin Lands

Ok, so now you see why waaay back in Quest #6 we suggested heading to a PQ in the Dwarven/Greenskin lands. Not only will you complete the Kill 25 Greenskin/Dwarfs quest, but you can finish this one up at the same time! Multi-tasking isn't just an ability for your resume, folks. Now, the key word in this quest is the word "any". This means that you can finish the entire PQ or you can just finish the first part of the quest, the easy part, three times. Also, "any" means any PQ in any Chapter, at any level. So if you're feeling nostalgic and you want to head back to Chapter 3 to visit Kron Komar Gap at level 38, then you can and you'll get credit for it. Due to that, this winds up being an easy task to finish, and we have the word "any" to thank for it.

Bitter Rivals: Quest #10 - /swear at each Enemy Career

While this is something we're pretty sure goes on nightly during Open RvR and certain frustrating scenarios, and probably at certain careers more than others, you're now being asked to make your feelings known to everyone else. You'll get updates for each career you swear at (and they must be players, not NPCs) in your Tome of Knowledge and we suggest using that list to keep track of which careers you've shown your ire to. Just make sure not to erase any of the swearing updates from the main page until you've completed the quest and it acts as sort of a checklist for you.

This ensures you're not swearing at the Black Orc in the scenario all night thinking you need the update, resulting in that Black Orc heading back to the warcamp and breaking down in tears because he can't figure out why everyone is swearing at him all the time lately. Also, while Mythic is encouraging you to swear at the enemy classes, remember to only use /swear, and not "/@#$%ing @#$%" or "/*&$% and your /@)#$% horse too!" as those are not exactly what they meant, and will not update this quest. However, you might get to talk to a GM if you keep it up.

Complete all these tasks and you're not only rewarded with the chance to play your Choppa/ Slayer a week early, but the title "Seriously Bitter!" to wave above your head!
