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!

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.

One Jr. Whacker appears to have suffered a head injury, since they are idolizing Nate. Talk to them and see what's going on.

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

What's a funner thing 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. 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.

New for 2021
Nate's got more ideas regarding recruiting his own kind of jr. whackers...

If you can complete the event with 100%, you'll earn the Jr. BW Mannequin Base!

To kick off the event, we're having a sale! Get 30% more on purchase of 50 Bush Bucks or more! Plus, all new mounts are available this weekend, from September 11th to 14th!

The Lynx Ranger mount comes free with your first purchase of 100 Bush Bucks or more!

The event will run until Friday, September 24th at Noon PDT!

Coppers of the Creature Collector

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



Head to the event area and choose one to train. You have until noon on Wednesday September 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 Monday September 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!

Read the Release Notes!

Gotta find 'em all!

A new selection of critters are now available to be your companions!

Those weirdly random abandoned eggs scattered all over Bushwhackia have been switched up and all new pets are ready to hatch when you accept the "Find an Egg" quest from Misty. She will also have all the Generation 14 eggs available to purchase for Bush Bucks during the "Find an Egg" quest.

Other changes to Misty and Hank for Generation 14:

• Misty will no longer let players abandon Gen 13 pet eggs that they are hatching (they're now too rare). Only current generation pet eggs can be abandoned during hatching. Please note that if you're in the middle of hatching a pet, then that egg will still hatch into whatever pet it would have been before.


• Generation 13 pet eggs can now be found in Quester's Satchels (with the same limitations as the Generation 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 eggs, which will still be available in satchels as well.)


• Hank now sells a random assortment of hatched level 1 Generation 14 pets (instead of Generation 13) for Bush Bucks in his pet store.

PAGAS changes for Generation 14:

• Generation 14 pet eggs are available to buy with DNA in the PAGAS store, once you have hatched at least five Generation 14 pets. This include 9 unique variations of the new pets.


• The Pet Progress dialog now includes Generation 14 pets. Another 19 new pets that all players can unlock!


• There are new PAGAS Pet Progress reward tiers for 800 and 850 unique pets for those avid collectors! A new title "Taxonomist of Bushwhackia", and 10 more Unique DNA, respectively.


• You can now also trade down your rarer DNAs by talking to Vincent as choose the "I'd like to trade my DNA" then "I'd like to trade DOWN my DNA" chat options.

And now, without further ado, the information you've all been waiting for:

Generation 14 Pets:

• Angerpillar
• Prowler
• Cruddy
• Escargot
• Puffer
• Painted Frog
• Bald Eagle
• Mongoose
• Impala
• Orca
