The hermit tells you about a beast terrorizing the world. This isnt that hard of a quest. All you need to do it find "a wild bladeback boar" spawn and kill it.
Once you found it, kill it. You will get a message that you spoted something "glittering" on the corpse. Loot the creature to receive the Mark of Courage Badge and item.
NOTE: Once you kill it, it will spawn 3 more times in that same location. So once you kill it, let someone else know where it spawned so they can get their kill in as well.
I believe he will only spwan a certin amount of times oer day and will spawn at one point all day. Simply bcuz i was riding and had just passed mos vegas a low and behold he was there. But later on that evening when my buddy logged on i swear we checked every waypoint on the list an he never respawned.He was kinda easy i'm not even a master carbineer yet but i was buffed of course. my suggestion if you want to find him start early.
if rangers search was increased to 1km it would be a far superior usage and aid for the bladeboard, i've mostly used the wps i've had to narrow down the search for ppl, as a ranger myself i still believe it's pot luck since the current range is limited.
I'm on the Tempest server. Has anyone found this beastly thing on Tempest? Can you give waypoint spawns? The waypoints provided above are coming up empty. I got the first two badges in an hour and have been trying to get this one for 3 days now. Being a Master Ranger doesn't seem to be helping either.

I'm on Intrepid, I haven't found the boar yet using any of the wp's I've found off this site and some others. Has anyone on Intrepid found this dang thing as of lately?

-536 4844 was actually 2 boars at the same time! I took down once and sent a tell to a friend to take down the boar herself. I helped with dragonets that were around but let her have the pleasure of taking down the boar alone which she did quite easily, albeit made it look easier then the time I had.
Has any one on starsider, found this spawn ? I have been checking the waypoints listed here for the last few days no luck, the farmer and the bounty hunter went fine, but this boar is being a bear to find, thanks for any info..

I can't believe these are so hard to spawn. Spent two full days with no results. Counting before the fix I've spent well over 100 hours on these and only have two badges.
I found the boar this morning (7/20/04) at 10:45am pacific at -958, 4664 on the Kettemore server. It may still be spawning there for anyone who is interested in getting it.
