In about an hour (see UPCOMING for details!), the horns will sound, signalling the beginning of the Great Hunt!

For those who are not familiar, a Great Hunt is a 24 hour hunting contest with various credit prizes!

Prize tiers are split into three levels: below level 80, below level 99, and "open" which is anything above 99 and onwards!

As is customary, we have:

* Double experience (this has been in effect since yesterday and will continue through to the end of Sunday)

* Credits will be awarded to everyone who reaches different point thresholds.
5cr at 100 points, 10cr at 1000, and 15cr at 2500 points.

* Credit prizes for the top ten winners in each tier.
500cr for first through to 50cr for 10th.

On top of that:

* All of the Great Hunt caves will be opening, offering bonus XP and gold for all the boss kills.

* Foray bosses have massively increased XP and gold rewards.

* Invasions will be breaking out on the Elemental Planes, also offering boosted XP for kills of hostile elementals.

* The Gnolls of Manara Burrow will be spreading their influence to the Granite Hills in great number for all lower level players to enjoy!

Good luck!
