BW2: Creature Collector - Pig mounts! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

Coppers of the Creature Collector

The eccentric Creature Collector has returned to the Commons, this time with a trio of oinking pig mounts!



Head to the event area and choose one to train. You have until noon on Wednesday July 8th to complete the collector's four daily quests, level up your chosen creature, earn Creature Coppers to spend in their store, and get another page to your Creature Collector's Compendium!

The Compendium Page will be given after the event ends. If you don't have the Creature Collector's Compendium ranch item, you'll get it when you get your first page.

After the event, the collector will be taking their creature back unless you adopt it by purchasing its corresponding mount pack, available starting Friday July 3rd.

Train hard, Bush Whackers!

The training quests unlock at noon on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Those busy on the weekends can still catch up!

Notes
- The VIP "Quest Reset" power does not reset these mini event quests, and they are not affected by the Time Turner and Timey Whimey Watch.
- Swapping your event mount with a higher level mount doesn't count towards event progress.
- These three mounts earn double the experience compared to other mounts for the duration of this mini-event!
- Expiring mounts cannot have their bonuses swapped.

Ye Olde Creature Collector's Galleria - Mounts

When you speak to Tanela Tiva in the event area, you can select the "What past mounts are for sale?" chat option.

This will open a new store, which will contain 3 non-event premium mounts you have never owned! They cost Bush Bucks, like in event stores. The selection will change next time Tanela Tiva visits to event area.

We've done this in response to players asking to see old premium mounts they've missed out on, to help you fill out your pet collection. Snag those old-school mounts you're missing out on!

BW2: High Score Hustle Community Quest! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

High Score Hustle

The Block Builders Bonanza tournament has started in Bushwhackia! Chip has setup an arcade in the Commons' event area and he is gunning for the all-time highest score.

Team up with your fellow Bush Whackers, collect Builder Blocks, and stack up that score!

Block Builders Bonanza

The Block Builders Bonanza is a yearly tournament where teams try to get the highest score by collecting blocks and stacking them into lines.

When collecting Builder Blocks from bushes, if you have the right combination of blocks, your blocks are used to build a line automatically! When a line is built, it'll even tell you how many you've built during the current day of the tournament.

Each day is a different round of the tournament, meaning each day has a different score to build up! Chip will tell you what your score was in past days, so the community can try to beat your collective high-score each day.

Every line made increases your individual progress for this mini-event, but also counts towards the collective goal for the community!

Rare Cartridges

Every line you make earns you a Rare Cartridge, which you can exchange for special items in Ye Rare Cartridge Emporium!

Not every special item is unlocked from the get-go, though. To unlock them, the community has to reach the goal of the corresponding day of the tournament!

Arcade Activity

You have until Monday June 8th to make your contributions AND claim your rewards for this limited-time community quest!

Post your comments and questions here on the forum!

BW2: Endangered Species Mini Event XI! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

Endangered Species - Eleventh Encounter

Habitats are changing, and it's endangering many different animal species. Carson Tiva has found that three different endangered species can currently be found in Bushwhackia, as they search for new places to live.

Three Endangered Species

Ultramarine Lorikeet - A critically endangered island parrot threatened by invasive species

Jeypore Ground Gecko - An endangered, small lizard native to India, where it inhabits rocky terrain and scrub forest.

Banteng - A critically endangered species of wild cattle native to Southeast Asia.

Collect Conservation Data

Like you did during Carson's last visit, apply your bush whacking skills to help them collect Conservation Data on these unique animals for the limited time they're here. To gather data, you just have to give them a whack with your sword or other whacking implement. With said data, Carson Tiva can use it to try and help what's left of these unique animals.

Which species you encounter in the fields will be random, so if you fall behind in finding one of the three animals, you can start one of Carson Tiva's pursuit quests. You can do one pursuit quest every 20 hours.

Earn Rewards

Your efforts will not go unrewarded! Carson Tiva will trade you for this data in their store, plus you'll earn a unique plaque for your contributions! Like event ribbons, this plaque will increase your maximum energy based on your performance.

Collect data, complete the achievements, and earn rewards!

In addition to a new set of species, Bush Buck Bundle, and energy boosting plaque, you can earn a new Found Poster ranch item reward!

Limited Time Only

Go to the event area of the Commons to get started, and gather as much data as you can before noon on Tuesday June 2nd, Pacific Time!
