Walkthrough
The quest begins near Ascalon Settlement, in the very north end of North Kryta Province. It is triggered by talking to Farmer Dirk, who asks you to retrieve his Prize Winning Hog which has run off. You will find the hog not far to the south. You must then chase it back to the farmer by standing near it opposite the direction you want it to run in. This can be annoying at times, but overall it's not too tough.

The path leading to the hog is clear, but on your way back to the farmer several groups of Gypsie Ettins will spawn and attack you. They come in groups of two and are level 15 Warrior mobs, but it shouldn't be too difficult to take them down. While you fight the hog will just wander near where you last prodded him to go. If you're good at chasing the hog you won't have to fight more than one pair.

You do not need a second player to complete this, just mercs, although of course it would make it easier.

You get a couple of Skills for completing this, so it may be worth the short walk from Bergen Hot Springs.
