[edit] Quest information
[edit] Objectives
- Kill a Black Bear and return to tell the hunters of your success within 3 minutes.
[edit] Reward
[edit] Walkthrough
Talk to any one of the five hunters, except for Benton, to start. Note that there are times when the hunters won't talk to you, in particular while they are playing "Blood, Sweat, and Tears." Just wait a little while and talk to them again.
There will be no quest arrow to follow, so you will have to find a bear on your own. There are a total of six bears in the zone. The easiest are the pair just to the east of the hunters. Kill only one and return. There are also pairs to the northwest by the river, and west near the Healing Spring. There are a large number of Grawl between you these bears. If you go after these, you will need to clear the way first before accepting this challenge to make it in time.
In a party of two you both get ale for one kill as long as you are both in range when one of you gets the reward. Having a partner get into position to kill the bear before you take the quest can speed things up greatly. Then wait until your partner gets back into range to accept the reward.
You can repeat this as many times as you like. There will be a delay of about a minute before you can pick this up again as the hunters extol you to enjoy your bounty.
[edit] Dialogue
[edit] Initial dialogue
Dannel, etc.
- "Ahh, *hic* another challenger!"
- "My companions and I are the greatest hunters this land has ever known."
- "Benton over there once killed a bear quicker than I could drink a shot."
- "Yes, he's good."
- "Ahh, Yes. I'm better of course."
- "Think our new friend here is a great hunter? If you can kill a bear and return to us within three minutes, we'll share our drink with you."
- "All right then. Here's an ale for you. Go into the forest and kill a bear, then get back here within three minutes."
- or, if you've done this once already:
- "Back for more? Alright then, here's your drink. Get going!"
- When asked about quest: "Don't stand around chatting up the trees friend. Get out there and kill a bear."
[edit] Intermediate dialogue
If you fail:
- Dannel, etc. "What! No bears left?"
- Hunter 2: "I suppose Benton killed them all."
- Hunter 3: "Well, better luck next time."
[edit] Reward dialogue
Dannel, etc.
- "Well, isn't that something. A dead bear in under three minutes. Here, you can have my ale!"
[edit] Notes
- When you complete this quest, the hunters substitute your name for Benton's in their song.
- This is an easy way to acquire alcohol for the drunkard title. It takes about 5 minutes for a 2-ale run, yielding an average of 24 ale per hour.
