Returning player, question

Hello everyone,

I'm a returning player with a couple of questions. I use to play back around the time when the game was released. I returned around 2018 but had to stop playing due to real life issues.

My question is this, when I returned to playing I remember doing something really fun. I was getting official contracts to kill monsters and when I would do so I would get some very nice rewards when turning in the contracts - like magic weapons/armor and other rewards. I may be mistaken but I'm pretty sure this was on the official UO server (I did play on a non-official server for a while too).  I was able to repeatedly do the contracts as quickly as I wanted....but I can't seem to find this option in the game. 

Was this an option on official servers or am I thinking of a different server?

And also, could anybody please recommend a good guide to killing champion spawns - with animal taming and with other skills like maybe swordsmanship, etc and the type of armor/resistances and weapons that I should use?

thanks

I don't know of any contracts.  Huntsmaster challenge is similar but nothing like armor or weapon rewards.  But some nice rewards for crafters.

You can try your pet out on the spawn that is going on right now. https://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/seasonal-events/eclipsed-dawn-champion-spawn-spring-2025/

Is it maybe this that you are referring to ?

I don't think that was it. It was basically a vendor that just stood there with official monster killing contracts that could be done as many times as you want, not like a monthly event.
