2020 Season of Growth

The 2020 Season of Growth is a set of quests in the Hunt for the Ancients. It unlocks as soon as you complete the 2020 Season of Wandering quest: Stumbling Upon Sheep.

It consists of a main quest line (with 7 quests), 7 side quests, and a 4-part side quest chain (all tilted "Growing..."). These quests can mostly be completed in the water region.

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

The goal of this season is to find the third ancient: the Caretaker. Once you have found them and completed the quest A Bubble Dream, the 2020 Season of Jubilee (and a continuation of the main quest) will be unlocked, along with the 2021 Season of Growth (where there are even more side quests).

## Main Quest Line

This quest series cumulates in finding the Ancient. Once you have completed the quest A Bubble Dream, 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 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.

This season is a bit different structurally. Rather than a quest chain, the quests that reward you with a map piece are all unlocked at the start of the season. You can do them in whatever order you wish. However, the second quest chain does go in order, with one quest unlocking the next..

At the end, the final capstone quest A Bubble Dream is unlocked. This capstone quest unlocks the next part of the main quest line and the next chunk of side quests.

## Side Quests

Except for the "Growing..." quest chain, all of these quests are unlocked by the 2020 Season of Wandering quest: Stumbling Upon Sheep

## Monsters

The endurance monsters were not required for any quests. The now unlock with the areas in which they are found, and (unlike other hunt creatures) you do not need to have made any progress in the hunt to unlock them. However, they were first presented with this season of the hunt, and they always drop Hunter Tokens, so we consider them hunt monsters.

## Historical Notes

New quests were released each month June-August 2020. There was a release June 24th, August 4th, and August 24th. Because of the Camp NaNo event in July, Vanspi and the wardrobe items were released at the usual time (July 24th), but the quests and the turnover of monsters dropping tokens was pushed back to early August. The Caretaker arrived September 24th, with the beginning of the Season of Jubilee.

Each update released one quest in each of the parallel main quest chains. Only one quest was released in the "Growing..." quest chain in June, making it unclear that there would be a quest chain. However two more quests were released in August. One of the quests in the Velts quest chain was released in early August.
