The second month of 2020 will bring back two of the most classic in-game events for Star Wars The Old Republic – The Rakghoul Resurgence and Bounty Contract Week!
It may be because this month is shorter than the other eleven or because of any other reason, but here are the details of the only two returning events for February of 2020:
Rakghoul Resurgence on Alderaan
The monstrous creatures resurface on Alderaan from February 11 until February 18. The event starts and ends at exactly 6:00 GMT on both dates. It’s the first appearance for the Rakghouls for 2020. They had a longer Holiday than the rest of us!
Rakghouls don’t care if you are a low level learner (new player) or veteran. They will meet and greet you with teeth and open… mouths… any time of the day if you are level 25 or higher and dare to step into their tunnels.
Below are the official details from BioWare for this event.
The Hyland Organization for Rakghoul Neutralization (T.H.O.R.N.) has issued an official level-2 emergency alert concerning an outbreak of the Rakghoul plague on Alderaan. Quarantines have been put in place to restrict traffic of the plague off-world, but exceptions will be made for individuals with priority clearance.
T.H.O.R.N. is recruiting qualified volunteer emergency responders to travel to affected areas to combat the spread of the Rakghoul plague. More information about the outbreak can be found by checking the News Terminals on the Republic or Imperial Fleet!
T.H.O.R.N. wishes to remind you that plague symptoms can be treated if they are identified in the early stages of infection. Whether or not you have travel plans, please consult your nearest trusted medical supply droid and get vaccinated!
FEATURED REWARDS:
- Reputation with THORN
- Merciless Seeker’s Armor Set
- THORN Epicenter and Dark Vector Armor Sets
- Outbreak Response Weapons
- Alliance Contact – Doctor Lokin
- Infected Varactyl and Infected Dewback Mounts
- Ferocious Rakghoul Mini-pets
- …and more!
Bounty Contract Week
This event makes me wonder how many Bounties are left in the Star Wars The Old Republic universe. The Bounty Contract Week has been running for so long now, how are the criminals not extinct yet?
If you have some reputation to grind or just enjoy chasing easy-to-kill targets (because the missions are far from tough, really), you can do that between February 25 and March 3. The Bounty Season opens and ends at exactly 6:00 GMT on both dates.
Below is the official info from BioWare about the event, in case this is your first time participating in it.
For a limited time, the Bounty Brokers Association has opened its doors to anyone willing to take on their dangerous contracts, offering an opportunity for both seasoned and rookie hunters to prove their skills and bring crime syndicates and violent gangs to justice!
Each day, you can sign up for one standard Henchman contract and one high profile Kingpin Contract, and each may take you to a separate planet. Complete five standard contracts to unlock Kingpin missions with bigger loot! Head to the fleet now, invite your friends and visit representatives of the Association to get started on your contracts!
FEATURED REWARDS:
- Reputation with the Bounty Brokers Association
- Bounty Tracker’s Armor Set and Contract Hunter’s Armor Set
- Assassin’s Bowcaster and Elite Tracker’s Bowcaster weapons
- Lobelot, Swamp Kell Drake, and Drink Server Probe Mini-pets
- BH-7X Custom Hunter Mount
- … and more!
