Getting Started
To get started on the collection, you will need to have the Scholar of Secrets mastery from Central Tyria Legendary Crafting. This will allow you to purchase Chuka and Champawat Vol I from Grandmaster Craftsman Hobbs in Lion’s Arch for 5 gold and 10k karma.
Purchasing this will allow you to start on Chuka and Champawat I collection that will reward you with The Hunt, an exotic short bow you can salvage to start Vol II of the legendary journey.
Chuka and Champawat I: The Hunt
Hunter’s Journal/Hunter’s Kit
Talk to Bagred the Hunter in Snowden Drifts to get recipe for both (Huntsman 400). Pick both conversation options.
Hunter’s Kit
Crude Leather Book
Once you made Crude Leather Book, go back to Bagred the Hunter and he will give you a Journal and unlock another collection.
Completed Hunter’s Journal
Complete Chuka and Champawat I: Hunter’s Journal collection (below) to receive Completed Hunter’s Journal.
Tiger Musk
Kill Tigers in Dragon Stand or Verdant Brink to get this to drop. Respawn on them is quick enough that you can just camp the spot and wait for respawns.
Verdant Brink Southeast of Wyvern Cliffs are 3 tigers on a cliff. You can reach it by going on the spider infested Itzel structure on the other side of the bridge via bouncing mushroms and then glide across.
Alternatively in Dragon Stand there are some north of Broken Altar.
Warm-Up Hunt
Kill the Giant Boar in Queensdale. This event can be triggered by talking to Lodgemaster Carthage inside the Hunting Lodge. He will walk out for a bit and start the event.
Seraph Medal of Stealth
Buy it from Seraph Watchman Morina the heart vendor near Gnashar’s Hills in Brisbane Wildlands for 420 karma.
Hunter’s Bane
Probably the most bug filled part of the collection. You have to do the event Defeat the Largos before it kills Silent Snowfall/Ice Raking which is part of the meta event The Kodan Claw in Snowden Drifts. The Largo assassin have very low HP so you need to tag it quick to get credit. Additionally, the previous event in the meta chain (Escort the quaggan emissary to the kodan camp) often get stuck due to Bleepdoop pathing issues and the meta event chain basically halts.
Assuming the meta event is not bugged, do all the pre-events and then you should stand and wait at the marked spot so you can quickly tag the Largos assassin when the event pops up.
