For years, the Fox Hunt Master has been satisfied with his standard quarry…but had dreamed of something more. Finally, after massive effort, he’s managed to secure twenty-five famous mythical creatures, and is testing the hunters of BatMUD with a far greater challenge than a small doglike creature. Everything from the timid, elusive wolpertinger to the Mongolian Death Worm are being released into the world…
…and The Hunt Is On.
Each reboot, special blinking beacons will be placed at random places around the outworld, spread throughout the continents. Each beacon will attract one creature, 25 in total. Your jobs are as follows:
The Hunt Is On will run through/including Sunday, Nov 3. You only need one copy of each photograph, and one trophy from each kill. Multiple cases/albums will not add extra results, so, once you get all 25, there’s no benefit for getting more of the same.
Books containing the location of the beacons are spread out in various areas throughout the game. Look for rooms with bookshelves and bookcases. Hunting targets themselves should not be found in areas, only outside.
Multiple players/parties can tag the same monster for the same kill. Look for a ** on the monster’s description to know if you get credit for the kill or not. It’s possible for very strong players to one-shot weaker monsters before getting credit, either wait for a repop or waith for the **. You don’t need to be in the room for the kill (in case it’s an entry kill or you’re dead).
Prizes include:
Prizes are not choices. If you get 20 kills, for example, you get the trophy case bonus, and the Gold Hunt Prize, and the Fox’s Fang. Plus whatever you get for your album.
Merchants can make cameras, and alchemists can make film, in their respective guilds. Better merchants can make lighter cameras. Better alchemists make more film per attempt.

Coding for the Halloween 2024 Event is underway. I’m withholding details for now, but I figured some people are going to ask how to plan around it, so I’ll give you info on that.
