Adventurous Naturalists have opportunities for a fruitful start to the new year. Collect Samples, hunt rare animals, capture photographs of elusive wildlife, and more to reap the benefits of this New Year’s bonuses.

Embrace Mother Nature this month to receive various rewards and collectibles to aid on bold journeys and brave winter chills, partake in the Featured Series, dress the part of a devoted Naturalist with a new Community-Inspired outfit, and much more through February 5.

NATURALIST BONUSES

Sedate wildlife and pad your pockets by selling Samples to conservationist Harriet Davenport and receive a 2X RDO$ and XP payout for your efforts.

Stand out as a premier hunter against rival marksmen and successfully take down big game for points in the Wild Animals Kill Challenge to bring in 2X RDO$ and XP — the bigger and rarer the beast, the better. Meanwhile, explorers who’d rather carry a camera than a shotgun can enjoy 2X RDO$ and XP for capturing the diverse creatures traipsing around the map in the Wildlife Photography Free Roam Event.
