How do you get extra fermented mudcrab apples?

The quest offers that as an additional goal, but it goes away when you leave the arena.

Probably something obvious I am missing.

    As you're fighting King Boar, 1 of the people by the 3 buckets will occasionally run over and fill the bucket. Grab the apples before King Boar eats them or he'll regenerate.

    If you don't care about extra apples, just kill him quickly and grab the apples that are offered afterward.

    If you want extra apples-- up to 4-- try not to kill King Boar right away, just kill the princes, and watch for a person to fill one of the buckets so you can run over and get it before King Boar does. After you've collected 3 buckets that way, you can go ahead and kill King Boar and collect the 4th bucket afterward.

    Don't kill the big boar, just kite it. When the smaller boar appears, kill it and then grab the apple when the bucket gets filled. Continue this way, not killing the big boar, but killing the small one, until you have collected 3 apples, then it is okay to kill the big boar and get the fourth apple.

    What do you get for giving the extra apples? Is it worth all the kiting/time?

    The reward is 4 cider bottles instead of one, different dialogue from the NPC and I do not know if the XP changes or not. IMO, not really worth it.

    For each apple you will receive one apple drink. 4 apples->4 drinks
    I have wondered if there is anything special about the drink and have not discovered anything special. For instance, it didn't stack with my current drink. That is the only thing I tried that I thought would be wonderful.

    What is the extra price? I collected 4 apples but only got more of that looks like an useless green drink.

    The basket with apple glows so its pretty easy to see unless you are on the side and the opposite site lite up.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I fight the boar, focusing on the ghosts until I get 2/4. Then I kill the big boar for 3/4 and leave the Arena. Then I go back in and complete the other arena quest for the Breton, kill the boar and grab 4/4. Then I turn both quests in.

    You will only need 1 out of 4 apples to complete the quest. Collecting 4 apples gives you 4 of the (very weak) stamina regen drink instead of 1 for the time you've wasted so it's really not worth waiting around for them to spawn.

    Thanks everyone. I did take one run slower, but the big boar ate the apples too fast, but I can see how grabbing those would have value.

    Though you usually can't loot items in the game during combat in my experience, so I didn't really think of that.
