✧Added information from dev-blog (— 03/04/2024 9:23 PM) about Trophy Hunting.✧

A few spoilers for those hunting for the new trophy items. I'm not going to post the looks for them all but I will say they might be some of my favorite new additions to the game. You can see a sample of the BoneSnarl trophy in above posts.

Note: Boss trophies are NO DROP to discourage camping. Everything else can drop from a normal creature or a boss creature if one exists in the set - for ex, various werewolf types have a chance to drop the werewolf trophy as does Ignis. Arllandah and the high level storm giants will drop the Storm Giant trophy.

Note part two: Some of the trophies must be placed on west sides of walls. Some may only be placed on North walls. Some are free-standing. Some are also containers.

• Bonesnarl
• Frump
• Chomper
• Zule
• Nithhogr
• Lich Prince
• LPI
• Mack Mack
• Mannabrotur
• Great White Shark

• Triddle
• Imp
• Rotten Zombie
• Werewolf
• Death Tyrant
• Storm Giant
• Not the complete list...

Happy Hunting!

Since the release of fishing quest, I thought it might be helpful to post a mini guide as you work through puzzles, which are a prominent feature of this quest.

• Make sure to read carefully what the NPCs are telling you. If you missed the speech, you can access it in your chat logs. In most cases NPCs will repeat a similar or condensed version if you speak with them again.
• There is a pattern to some of the quests; do not overthink them. They will be in similar areas/regions for the most part.
• Make sure to speak to lots of NPCs in the area where you are questing. They should give you clues.
• If you finish a quest, speak to the NPC Paezer and he will give you advice on what to do next.
• Most of the NPCs involved with the quest are located near water, docks, ponds, and so on.
• Your alignment and choices impact the dialogue and story a little bit; depending on how you treat some NPCs you might get a different reward or a different outcome - or a different quest requirement.
• I added alternate ways to complete some of these quests, but you must discover them.
