 ===== Overview =====
-Hunt of the Ancients is a zone that has a server-run timed event.  When the event starts players must capture pillars one by one by right clicking a pillar and selecting Conquer.  The player must remain at the pillar for 1 minute 40 seconds to capture it (thanks Mitty).  The first player to capture four pillars wins the event and receives a prize.
+Hunt of the Ancients is a zone that has an automated server-side timed event that pops up notices letting players know when it starts.  When the event starts players must capture four pillars in succession and hold each for a period of time.  The timer starts by right clicking a pillar and selecting Conquer.  The player must remain at a pillar for 1 minute 40 seconds to capture it.  If the player is attacked the capture timer stops and they have to start over after killing mobs or players.  The first player to capture four pillars wins the event and receives a prize in the form of a HoTA statue automatically delivered to their settlement near the settlement token.
+===== Rewards =====
+Winning the Hunt rewards a HotA Statue. When opened, these statues yield resources like Glimmersteel and Adamantine, and they offer a random chance to contain a Glimmersteel Medallion, which has no function other than being cosmetic.

-I've never done the event, so I'm not sure what happens if a player is attacked.  I assume it interrupts the timer and the player has to start over on the pillar.

+As Of 01-21-2025: This is a calculator for the wurm ids for our HotA Pillars. Use one of the ones that pops up to get the id and put it in the calculator to pull the id of the others you need.

+=== Load and Drop Pillar ===
-. Drop it on the ground.
-Test to see if the dropped pillar allows a player to finish the event.  Check to make sure there aren't other existing pillars that can be dropped (try loading all ID's).  If not, go to method 2 (below).
+Fix the HoTA by loading a pillar color that hasn't spawned and dropping it.
+. Use the calculator spreadsheet above to get a Wurm ID for a pillar color other than the ones already visible in the zone.  Right click and copy the ID from the spreadsheet.
+. Use this case-sensitive chat command to load the pillar in inventory:  ```#loadItem <Wurm ID>```
+. Drop the pillar on the ground anywhere in the HoTA zone.
+A player should be able to finish the event as it takes four captured pillars to trigger the win.
+//NOTE:  In step 2 the < and > indicate that this is a required parameter for the command.  Do not surround the Wurm ID with < and > as the command will fail.//
