Some of the biggest open-world events in World of Warcraft Dragonflight are Grand Hunts. These events are tied to the Maruuk Centaur Renown and take place across the Dragon Isles. Upon completing them, you get a satchel of helpful goods mainly used to further your Renown progress with Maruuk Centaur in Ohn’ahran Plains.

If you’re new to the game or simply want to grind up Maruuk Centaur Renown to get transmogs and Dragonriding drake customizations, here’s everything you need to know about Grand Hunts in Dragonflight—from what they are to Grand Hunts rewards.

What are Grand Hunts in WoW Dragonflight?

Grand Hunts in Dragonflight are open-world events that level up your Renown with Maruuk Centaur. In the final seasonyou must complete Grand Hunts for the weekly quest. 

You can complete as many Grand Hunts as you want per week, and the events can appear in all four zones of the Dragon Isles—the Waking Shores, Ohn’ahran Plains, the Azure Span, and Thaldraszus. Each time you start a Grand Hunt, you’re tasked with completing six different quests that vary in both difficulty and type of quest. You’re asked to collect materials, hunt down rare mobs, kill wild animals, or just help out animals in need. 

Remember, you get Hunt Spoils rewards for completing only three Grand Hunts. You can continue farming the event for additional reputation or to complete achievements. 

How to unlock Grand Hunts in WoW Dragonflight

To unlock Grand Hunts in Dragonflight, you need to complete the main storyline of the Maruuk Centaur tribe and unlock Renown with them. After that, you need to reach level five Renown with the tribe. To do that, complete world quests, main storyline quests, and side quests related to them. After you reach Renown level five, Grand Hunts start spawning across the isles. Grand Hunts, like other Dragonflight open-world events, are marked with a battle horn icon on your map.

To start a Grand Hunt in a zone, travel to the zone where the next Grand Hunt is happening. You can easily spot them since you’ll see the horn icon. The hunts are always active and usually move every two hours unless players complete it early.

After you travel to the zone where Grand Hunts are taking place, you have six unique tasks to complete. The quests vary from zone to zone, but they usually start by finding the Grand Hunt. Then, you’ll be sent to your next location to start completing the quests. As we already mentioned, the quests are to either gather reagents or kill wildlife, so you’ll just need to follow the instructions in your quest log.
