BW2: Jr. Whacker Event 2024 Edition 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

Teach Me How to Whack!

It's time to put your knowledge of whacking bushes to good use as you help educate the next generation! Take a trip to the Event Area of the Commons and get helping!

The Junior Whackers

Help three aspiring young ones learn how to whack bushes, mana whack, and power whack! Bring the Jr. Whackers some Cardboard Swords to use, found in bushes throughout the world, and they'll share the spoils of their training with you. As you help them, they gain experience, "leveling up" and will award more items with each turn-in. Each of the determined young padawans will have a daily quest to power up the spoils from their next turn-in.

Badges!

Another Jr. Whacker is pursuing their Capitalism badge. After you help them achieve that, perhaps they'll try their hand at Socialism?

What's more fun than to earn than your Baking badge? Nothing of course! Help one Jr. Whacker get theirs later on in the event.

Help Keisha get her camping badge again this year! Check back daily for her quest unlocks.

Another aspiring whacker seeks their environmental conservation badge! Help them plant saplings and unlock their unique Ye Environmental Conservator's Equipage store!

Target Practice

A young student of the bush whacking arts challenges you to whack more than 100 cardboard bushes before the end of the event! This is a challenging quest, and we hope you enjoy it. Note: Quest Odds will not increase the likelihood of these cardboard bushes to appear.

Nate?

One strange Jr. Whacker appears to be idolizing Nate. Talk to them and see what's going on.

Nate's Minions

If you've kept up with Nate's saga in this event, Nate has collected a gaggle of jr treasure hunters, or minions, as he likes to call them. Unsurprisingly, Nate's minions still aren't happy with their working conditions. Help Nate with a daily quest to meet his minions demands.

VIP Rewards!

Active VIP members can claim unique rewards based on their event progress! If you don't have an active membership, you have the entire event to consider becoming one! You can earn and claim these rewards until the end of the event.

New for 2024

This year's update includes:

- new costume items in the store!
- new ranch items in the store!
- new tier 4 and 5 VIP rewards!
- new pet packs!
- new mount packs!
- new 2024 holiday 100% reward!
- new conservation items!
- new quest sequel to Keisha camping badge!

Holiday Trees

If you can complete the event, you'll earn this awesome 100% reward: The Jr Whacker Tree! Collect all of this year's holiday trees!

Ye Environmental Conservator's Equipage

There's a new ranch item and sword item to collect in this year's Ye Environmental Conservator's Equipage store, available after helping a junior whacker get their conservation badge!

Orienteering Badge

If you helped Keisha practice her camping badge in past years, she'll have a new quest for you to help with this year! In order to go backcountry camping, she'll need her Orienteering Badge.

And more!

Check out on the Release Notes for any additional updates! There's a link at the bottom of the page.
