I finally had a day off to work on the new epic yesterday, and was hoping to catch up to where we're currently 'stuck' so I could join in the sleuthing here and try to help figure out the next step.

I had already done the first few steps; visiting NPCs, foraging in RM, getting waterproof bag, killing gob foragers in lake omen...

Then I spent what ended up being 4-5 hours gathering components for goblin disguise (including the time spent foraging the emerald leaves, cactus pulp, lichenclover).

Successfully brewed paint, tailored the disguise, and headed back to Frontier Mountains. Waited til 7pm game time, and triggered the Goblin Hider event. Heard the zonewide shouts from King and gobs, contest started.

After about 10 minutes I had caught a Goblin Hider; got him down to 5% health, and he warped to another part of the zone. He was back to full when I tracked him down again; then stumbled into a SECOND hider, both were in the same area. I rooted the second one and proceeded to dot/nuke the first.

Finished killing Goblin Hider (got kill message and exp), looted him -- NOTHING. At that moment, King Dronan ended the contest and the second hider despawned before I could even cast a spell on him.

Needless to say, I'm not exactly thrilled with bugs in an event that requires so much prep time.

BTW, when I attacked the first hider, there was no message or any indication that he was the 'wrong' one.

There are a couple of hiders that warp from from place to place. You can find static ones at a tower by nurga. They stay up awhile after the event is over. Its a pretty common drop as well
