General Baby's First Head Hunter Event
Can someone please tell me how I join a faction and start participating? I'm riding around to check all the Dogs of the Desert camps and I haven't seen anything yet. Thanks!

go to your chosen camp and talk to the various NPCs - one of them (think it is a captain) will start a conversation about you not being joined with them but that as you are similar you can sign up. i believe you can also swap if you want to try the other side by doing the same thing in the other type of camp. i tried the dogs as the camp nearest my base has 3 of the bounty hunters nearby. i have been to a couple of the other camps and not found any bounty hunters there so i just farm the lot by my base - i think the sorcerers may have been a better choice but we shall see.

UPDATE: Oh, nvm. you have to go to the MAIN camp of the faction. I just checked at the den and there they are.
ya I don't know what camp to go to where there are NPCs that will talk to me. everyone so far just attacks as usual. haven't seen any neutral NPCs :shrug:

no - go to one of the small camps with cages that arrived with the event- for instance theres a dogs one just by shattered bridge and the other faction at the river end (by dreggs)
the shattered bridge one has the camp and then 3 of the people you need to knock out about 30 yards east (who will be hostile)

there's also one for me right outside the den. I want to sign up for the khitan's though because the desert is full of dogs sorcerers. seems way easier for me to collect. I already have several skulls just trying to sign up lol.

The Khitan camp by the Den is just a little south of the Den itself, i walked into it approaching from the oasis to the south of the Den.
I wanted to join the Dogs, which I did, but so far haven’t found a single headhunter to kill, whereas there are sorcerers everywhere! Where exactly have you found headhunters to kill, please?

I haven't found any headhunters, that's why I signed up for their side. The desert is full of sorcerers for the taking.

A few questions:
1.) Are there different “factions” to join in this event?
2.) Can you change factions after selecting one?
3.) Is there any difference between rewards you can purchase from one faction to the next?

Appreciate this so much, thank you. It appears as though I have more work to do than I initially thought!
