Bounty Information

Bounty Overview

​

The Bounty Board is a feature designed to provide players, primarily Bounty Hunters, with dynamic capture and even kill missions, where they must apprehend or defeat a target, be it an NPC or player, who has committed a crime or earned the hatred of someone in the world. 

​

Bounties are created exclusively within roleplay for valid reasons, ensuring each mission is grounded in the story of the world and fits within the lore, meaning your actions outside of roleplay have no part in a bounty; and you can not put a bounty on someone for such reasons.

​

While anyone can accept a bounty, those with the Bounty Hunter status are equipped with unique perks and advantages, making them more effective and rewarding participants.


How Bounties Work

​

Bounties can be placed on both NPCs and Players, depending on the actions they have taken; while NPC Bounties are often handled by GMs, Player bounties can vary in range and often they are placed because the player has committed a crime in the world. Targets might range from petty criminals to dangerous foes, and capturing them can lead to various rewards.

​

NPC Bounties: These are issued for key NPCs who have become a threat or have committed significant crimes in the roleplay world, as well as petty criminals the GM can use to allow player progression. Successfully capturing or eliminating these targets often influences the world in some way, be it minor or major.

​

Player Bounties: Placing bounties on players is carefully managed and requires in-character justification. Once placed, the target can be hunted by Bounty Hunters who accept the mission within reason. Player bounties must be consensual, balancing fairness and excitement.


Rewards System

​

Successful bounty hunters may receive a variety of benefits, depending on the nature and difficulty of the bounty, this can range from both in-roleplay or even OOC rewards, such as:

​

  • Valuable Items: Rare weapons, enchanted gear, or special tools can be rewarded for certain bounties.

  • Favor: Powerful factions, groups, or individuals may offer future favors in exchange for a successful capture. As well as increase your standing with them.

  • Information and Secrets: Access to classified information, rumors, or hidden locations that can be used for future missions or to influence world events.

  • Reputation Points: As bounty hunters complete bounties, their reputation grows, as seen in the Leaderboard Information page, leading to increased recognition, better rewards, and more.


Consequences for Failure

​

Not all bounties will end in success, and failure carries significant consequences that can affect you as a bounty hunter or even a person. A failed bounty might mean:

​

  • Reputation Loss: Hunters will lose reputation points if they fail to capture their target or allow them to escape, leading to a drop in leaderboard rank.

  • Target Fame: If a bounty target evades capture, they may gain notoriety, making future attempts to capture them even more difficult.

  • Hunter Becomes the Hunted: In extreme cases, a failed bounty may cause the hunter to become a target themselves, adding a layer of risk to every mission.

  • Punishment by Client: In some cases, the client may choose to punish you or charge you a fee for your failure and wasting their time.


Bounty Hunter Perks

​

Bounty Hunters gain unique advantages that make them more effective than regular players when pursuing targets. As hunters climb the leaderboard and grow their reputation, they can unlock even more perks, tools, and opportunities that can help them grow further.

​

Bounty Hunter Perks Include:

​

  • Exclusive Gear and Tools: Access to specialized items like magical tracking devices, advanced restraints, or weapons tailored for capturing targets.

  • Networks and Informants: Bounty hunters may call upon informants or access resources that normal people would not be able to; this provides crucial information about the target’s movements, location, or weaknesses.

  • Authority in the Roleplay World: As their reputation grows, bounty hunters gain the ability to command respect from guards, NPCs, and other factions, giving them leverage in negotiations and during bounties.

  • But that isn't all, there are many more things one can earn as they progress and grow.


Setting Up a Bounty

​

Creating a bounty is a straightforward process, but it must be justified within the roleplay world. To submit a bounty request, the following format is used:

​

Publisher’s Name:
(Your character’s name, which can be anonymous if they wish to remain hidden.)

Target’s Name:
(The name of the individual, NPC, or player, being targeted.)

Reason for Bounty:
(A valid roleplay reason for placing the bounty. Vague or unreasonable bounties will not be accepted.)

Reward Offered:
(The reward for successfully completing the bounty. This can include items, currency, or favors, depending on the character’s means.)

Contact Information:
(Details on how to reach the publisher or exchange information.)

Additional Information:
(Any extra details the hunter should be aware of, such as target weaknesses, special conditions, or modifiers like "capture alive" or "without being detected.")
