2020 Season of Wandering

The 2020 Season of Wandering is a set of quests in the Hunt for the Ancients. It unlocks as soon as you complete the 2020 Season of Hope quest: The Curator of Elder Library.

It consists of a main quest (with 7 quests), 6 side quests, and a 5-part side quest chain (all tilted "Strengthening Your..."). These quests can mostly be completed in the desert region.

It is called the 2020 Season of Wandering, because it was first released in 2020. Oge-Mai Valley has four seasons, the second of which is the Season of Wandering, which runs roughly from April-June.

The goal of this season is to find the second ancient: the Shepherd. Once you have found him and completed the quest Stumbling Upon Sheep, the 2020 Season of Growth (and a continuation of the main quest) will be unlocked, along with the 2021 Season of Wandering (where there are even more side quests).

## Main Quest Line

This quest series takes you through the new hunt monsters and cumulates in finding the Ancient. Once you have completed the Stumbling Upon Sheep quest, new sets of quests will unlock.

This series can be a bit confusing, but **if you follow the order in which they're presented here, you won't have trouble**. There are two parallel quest lines. In one quest line, you fight one of the hunt monsters, and receive a map piece. In the other quest line, you need to turn in the map piece, and you get a wardrobe item. Therefore, when you complete the battle quest, you have everything you need to complete the wardrobe reward quest.

At the end, two additional quests are unlocked. The first (Stumbling Upon Sheep) is the capstone of this season, and unlocks the next part of the main quest line and the next chunk of side quests. The second (Herding the Herders) is a side quest to fight all the Season of Wandering monsters again.

## Side Quests

Unless otherwise noted, these quests are all unlocked by Curator of Elder Library at the end of the main quest in Season of Hope.

## Monsters

These monsters appeared during the 2020 Season of Wandering.
