Just a heads up on how transportation to and from Black Swan Castle works:
The campaign tent is set up in the Upper Trollfang and can be accessed by all to view the prizes and quiz the official. I'll probably have the tent out in prime by tomorrow morning.
About 30 minutes before your scheduled start time, the official will close up the tent to prepare for the event. Questers will start getting messaging as a heads up to get ready for the quest. If you need to hit up the bank or your locker, please do it when you get the warnings.
Ten minutes before your scheduled start time, the hunting party will pick you up and take you to the campaign tent. If you log in during this ten minute period, you will be brought to the campaign tent and may not have time to deposit silvers or run around town. You won't be picked up if you are in a teleport-proof room, but you should get messaging nudging you somewhere where the hunting party can pick you up.
During the quest, you can leave the quest area to get healed or raised, but you cannot take quest items with you.
You must be in game when the quest ends to claim your prize. You have 30 minutes after the quest ends to pick your prize.
After the quest, you will have 30 minutes to exit through the swirling portal to return to where you were picked up. If you miss your 30-minute window, you will have to provide your own transportation.

The campaign tent is set up in the Upper Trollfang. Similar to Academy Quest, there is a sign with information about the prizes. The sign also indicates which prizes will attune to the winner. The prize tiers are set out on the different trays for your INSPECTing pleasure. Augmented chain has been added to the armor selection on the gold tray.
When the quest finishes, the official will tell you which trays you can choose from, and the sign will only display the items on those trays. You can ASK the official about prizes again if you forget which trays he told you.
Those 30 minutes can go by pretty quickly if you're poring over the prize list, trying to decide which to pick. Having some idea ahead of time of which prize from each tray you are interested in will cut down on panic after the quest. Look at the attuned Academy Quest prizes for an idea of what sorts of enhancives the attuned Black Swan prizes will have.
Also, since it was jokingly suggested to me but not surprising, it's a bad idea to log out during your quest and wait for the next group to hit a higher tier. You must finish with your group to win a prize.
