This gun is attainable by completing all of the hunter quests in STV. You get a final quest to kill the master of all the beasts or something. There is also a bow which can be rewarded.

The main reason this gun is amazing is that it is attainable by a lvl 29 twink. And because the gun is a high lvl, a +40 friend can attach the +7 dmg scope to it.

Obviously you'll need the help of some max lvl friend to complete all these quests. But in the end, this gun, or the bow are the best possible weapons for the lvl 29 BG.

Unfortunately blizz nerfed this (used to be https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=4111) because of 29 twinking. Still proably the best ranged weapon of the 29 bracket.

As the above post mentions, this is the best gun for a twink hunter in the lvl29 Battlegrounds.

To save XP, (so you can max the amount of BG tokens you can turn in for BG rep) have a lvl 60 run you through all the "mastery" quests, and then help you with this one too. Not that a 29 would find it all that easy to solo these things. :)

Have your lvl 60 friend be out of party to lower the xp you get per kill. Just tag each quest-kill with one hit and let them do ALL the rest. If you're lucky enough to have a lvl 60 friend on the opposite faction that you can work with, having them finish off your kills will get you the least possible xp from each kill.

Also, for you 29 twinks, I believe you can put a +5 scope on the gun as long as you have a higher lvl put it on via trade window.

for the record, I had a lvl 60 friend run me thru these quests. Took just under 2 hrs and with minimal extra kills(in group whole time) I got 19 bars of xp, started at level 28 and ended almost 29. (no blue bar), you also get the twink chest peice doing this series.

And you can have a higher level engr put +7 scope on it like I did.

edit:
best hit: 607 aimed shot crit vs 24 warlock =)

YOU CAN GET THE FINAL QUEST AT LVL 28

Comment by Thottbot

This IS the best lvl 29twink gun for hunters. I'm in the best twink guild on the server, and i can assure u this outranks all other range weapons for lvl 29. Plus, it can b treated as a lvl 40weapon b.c u can put +7scope on it. I can't use it b.c i will lvl up to 30 if i do the quest, but if u have the same problem as me, u can manage an ironweaver witth +3scope.

You need to do all the chain quest's to open up the quest that allows you to get this gun.

These quests are:

Raptor Mastery
Panther Mastery
Tiger Mastery

The quests will open up to you when you become level 28. My hunter Twink had 5 bars of rested XP and I was nervous of getting too much XP. So I had my two friends-- Hunter level 37 and Shammy level 39 group with me to do them all. I tried the system where I hit the mob once ungrouped with a high level and they finish them off...It does not work. I was getting 384 XP per kill doing it that way.

Grouped with two other people I was getting 134 XP rested and about 64-124 XP unrested per kill depending on the mob. By the time I finished the chain quests (one of which gets you a sweet chest piece, I barely dinged 29. After finishing the quest for the gun I had 18 unfilled bars left till 30.

I then bought a sniper scope (+7 damage) and traded it to the now level 40 shammy. I put the gun in the, "will not be traded" section of the trade box and she applied the scope to the gun. (Since I was not a high enough level to do this)

This gun is better than ANY blue item in the 20-29 bracket. It is well worth the time and many many ganks in STV (unless you pussed out and rolled PVE)

I did the entire "Big Game Hunter" quest chain last night thanks to the help of a 67 War. I started this at lvl 28, looking to twink my hunter with the quest rewards. I was grouped the entire time, unrested (normal xp) the entire time, killed only the quest mobs and as few others as possible that stood in our way, and still gained 18 bubbles (out of 20)of XP. My pet gained 3 and a half bubbles of XP (out of 6 I think). I'd say the majority of the XP was from quest turn ins, so being rested isn't THAT big a deal if you are worried about minimizing XP gained.

If you really want to minimize XP gains, then UNGROUP with whoever is helping you do this quest chain. YOU should tag the quest mobs with one low damage attack (low level gun shot, eg), and let your high level buddy finish the mob off. You will receive minimal XP but be credited for the kill for the quest. Let your buddy clear the path to the next set of mobs, don't attack anything that isn't quest related. This should be entirely doable EVEN IF you are already lvl 29 and have full rested XP, AS LONG AS you have a high level friend help you out, UNGROUPED as described above. I think I have a shammy that is level 29+ with full rest that I will try this out on over the next few days.

IM a 28 hunter and im planing to stay at 29 for a while. I laready have a corpsemaker once i get this... some people are gonna die :P
IM just hoping i dont level (i probably wont)

Comment by Allakhazam

I started this quest with my lvl 28 hunter about 1 bar in with NO rested. By the end of all 13 quests in the chain I was 1 bar from 29. 18 bars of XP unrested at lvl 28. Anyone know if this qualifies as a lvl 40 item for a sniper scope?

Comment by Allakhazam

so you can put scope +5 dmg on it right?

Comment by Allakhazam

where does the first part of the chains start, same npc?

Best weapon a hunter can get for a lvl 29 hunter twink. So hunter get your high lvl friend and complete this quest line and also keep the chest reward. Those 2 item are better then any lvl 20-29 blue item.

Comment by Allakhazam

The complete quest chain (all 13 "mastery" quests) to get the gun and the armor set will give you an entire level (level 28). If you are going to make a twink, don't put it off and accumulate rested bonus or you will very likely run out of exp before finishing your twink at level 29. I made that mistake but I was lucky and finished 1300 exp shy of level 30 when the corpsemaker dropped for me in RFK (the last item I needed).

www.shadowpanther.net is a site for twinking rogues, but the armor listed is good for hunters (and druids and shaman to lesser extents). You will need to plan carefully and have a friend run you through instances and quests to get all your equipment. As a hint, start farming your melee weapons in the early 20's, do all your gnomer quests at level 25 and 26, and then do the mastery quests and razzeric's racing gloves quests at level 28.

Do the mob killing parts of the quests when you need to level your pet, then do the turn-ins for exp when your pet cannot level. Otherwise, you will have trouble getting your pet leveled up because you won't have the exp at the end to gratuitously kill mobs for pet experience. Building the optimal level 29 hunter twink takes thought and planning.

I just told you the secret...consider a rate up if it helps you?
