So Mod 12 as is typical contains choices between completion of dungeon flagging and boons. Additionally Mod 12 contains a "hunt" mechanic.

A few notes:

--Hunts grant the entire party one additional event currency (do not count towards the weekly haul, 25 over max)

Progression, Hunting Components & Mobs Summoned

As you can see here: if it's not Scottish, it's HAMSTER. (Dungeon progression> all!)

Ciao from The Holy Crusaders!

@andorrabell Would u be kind and add the lure spots on the map, so people dont run clueless around in the jungle?

I took the hunting quest first, and still am not sure, how everything works. Perhaps you can answer me some questions?

I already did Hedetet and Split-Ti, but did not get the trophies from these two. Are they as random, as the trophies from usual monsters, like the ogres bone?

Also, I did not get any additional Totems by killing both prey. How do they drop? Or could it be, that if you have not yet reached your totem cap, it counts toward the weekly amount and you only get extra's if your cap is reached?

How about the King of Spines? Does this HE have any relevance to hunting, except it being a source for the tooth?

What about the T-Rex that roams the jungle? Does it yield any trophy? I killed around 50 of them and not once did it drop anything besides the occasional green equipment item.

Is there any reward to doing the hunts, except glory and the chance to drop one of the new special equipment items (which probably have a very low drop rate like everything)? Like titles?

1. Trophies from hunts are unfortunately rng-based. You are not guarrenteed to get the mats for the next grade lure.
2. I think you probably have to fill up your usual quota of totems first. Not sure if there's a quest from volo, last week is a bit of a haze.
3. KoS counts as a daily hunt, but really he's just for teeth.
4. Jungle rare t-rex does drop t-rex teeth, but again... rng.
5. Don't think so, just gear and lure mats.

You can earn 25 bonus Forgotten Totems each week through hunts which don't count towards the weekly haul limit.

I personally did this last week, and if I can do it this week, and next, I should be able to unlock the new dungeon as early as the 7th of next month (assuming i have 25 lures ready to use in a row on the 7th, and finish the weekly haul on the 7th as well).

Each hunt gives 1 totem (for 1-star hunts), and you only have to be in a party with the hunter to get this totem.

Ok, thanks. That rng thing makes hunting very unattractive for me. Not considering the Trex (who obviously does not visit his dentist regularly as there seem to be no teeth left for me to collect) I get 1 trophy from 10 mobs (and 1 Tooth from 5x KoS). And considering I need several of the prey trophies as well, I would have to kill thounsands of mobs and farm until my fingers fall off, to have a chance to perhaps probably be able to sometimes when the stars align and eastern and christmas fall on the same day to get an item, which I perhaps don't even need. If at least the 3 star prey would have a guarantee drop, that would make it somewhat acceptable.

Thanks. 1 totem is not much, especially when you first have to reach your cap to make them count. But when everyone in the group gets one, this makes it interesting. I can imagine organizing hunting groups in my guild, with everyone collecting trophies and lures and then going to get the prey.

Do you perhaps know, if people in the same group as the hunter also have a chance for a prey-trophy?

Will confirm that the wandering T-Rex drop rate is abysmally low, and should probably be looked at, as it's the key piece in a large number of hunt lures.

mintmark · July 2017

Just want to highlight the difference between a wandering tyrannosaur (does not drop teeth) and the rare version tyrannosarus rex (sometimes drops teeth). They look similar...

Also, I got a rotting ogre's bone from fishing...

And you can't pick up a second trophy of a given type... but you can store the one you have (in a bank slot or mail) and then pick up a second one.

Not quite. Photobucket no longer allows third party hosting unless you pay them a subscription fee of around $400/year. I'm still looking for a replacement
