Your mount and cape will be transported to HWT compliments of HWT, the hunter is responsible for picking up their mount at HWT when completed. Hunters have the option of using a Crossbow, Vertical Bow or Firearms. Winners are responsible for their transportation to and from Ludgon Lodge, and purchasing their hunting licenses.
