Hunt of the Ancients
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.
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.
Where is the HoTA Zone?
The HoTA zone is located on Northlands, on a square island in the very center of the PVP zone. The PVP zone is in the center of the map and takes up 1024×1024 tiles.
Fix a Broken HoTA
Occasionally the Hunt of the Ancients zone will break and not spawn a pillar.
Method 1: Spawning Pillars
You may be able to fix the HoTA by pulling an existing pillar and dropping it.
- #loadItem wurmID
- 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).

Method 2: Recreate the HoTA Zone
Delete the Broken HoTA Zone
- Go to Northlands coordinates 4239,4099. You will find an obelisk there marking the center of the HoTA zone.
- Stand in the center of the coordinates (step 1).
3. Look up and right click the obelisk (or the sign; it has to be an object). Server, Create Focus Zone. - In the Create Focus Zone window open the Delete Zone dropdown and select the existing Hunt of the Ancients zone. Click the Send button. You should see a message stating that the zone has been deleted. Any pillars and shrines should disappear.

- Enter 60 for east/west and 60 for north/south.
- Enter zone name. Hunt of the Ancients or HoTA. I use the full name so players know what HoTA means.
