I really like how this event allows a lot of extra time to complete it. 15 days for the whistle + almost 2 more weeks just in case.
Some of the recent events had tight durations which were kinda stressful. I just barely got the fishing chair and didn't even bother with the hide and seek titles. This is a really nice change.
I was on Ch 1 Ruairi yesterday after I registered and decided to help out Nico at Tir for that day when it crashed (everyone in that channel alone got DC'd as the channel had the "Server Booting" tag instead of "Busy" or "Normal" when I logged back in). I return and I no longer get a prompt with Nico (at Tir) regarding the event but only for regular commerce.
I can collect red bandit badges and trade them in, but only for 5k ducats each and not for event prizes.
I am stuck with the Help Nico at Tir event daily and the Bandit Hunter quests that I cannot get rid of (there is no Give Up button), and it is the day after that incident.
No sheep or prizes for me...
Other people are reporting the same thing in other threads. Try submitting a support ticket.
They don't ever spawn right at the trading posts. In Dun, you have to go a bit further north, and sometimes a bit to the east (more likely) or west. You'll need to either be lucky and at the right spot, or be on a mount so you can race to the right spot. It's at 6:00-6:10pm in-game time. Waiting for it at other times won't help, but it's possible you can at least hit the boss a few times and get a ticket from him if he's not killed too fast. You're better off trying another town. Everyone tends to go to Dun.
Ah I see, thanks! Which city do you recommend most and is easiest to find?
And what is easiest to have a chance in (before they're all killed by someone else) depends on your server, channel, time you play, etc. So you'll probably have to find out yourself.
Did, now we play the waiting game.......gonna get a response 10 days before the event ends, I just know it.
Good luck. And check back in the forums now and again in case someone finds a solution.
Probably Tir Chonaill, Bangor and Tara are the most easy ones to find in my opinion. All of these are literally few meters away from main moongates so it's easy to spot.
Forgot that emain is directly on top of the north moongate.
Waiting game continues...
Is it really supposed to be one badge every 36 mins of waiting around?
3 hours to just do a single daily, with an additional 9 hours to get all 3 boxes for the day?
So far I've only been able to get one box, total!
Are you killing bandits with Bare Hands?
You won't get badges from killing the bandits if you're bare-handed.
Also, you can commerce for badges.
1 badge per 5k profit, basically.
As for Commerce earnings, that would be 1 badge every 45 mins instead of 36
Talk to Naco he'll ask you where you want to go.
Yea he's giving me nothing, time to submit a ticket...
