Bounty Hunting

Requirements to become a hunter:

  • To become a bounty hunter you need to talk to the NPC Boba in the hub and take a quiz of these rules. If you pass, you will be granted access to the bounty hunter role.
  • Clans are allowed to have one member be a bounty hunter per wipe. It can’t be changed mid-wipe.
  • You can’t team up with other bounty hunters. All hunts are solo.
  • Hunters cannot go after their friends (friends can place bounties on each other for fun). Friend includes people in clan, alliance, you hang out with, you PVP with, etc. We don’t want people using bounties as a way to bypass our PVP rules.
  • Your in-game name must match your discord name so people know who is a current bounty hunter.

Bounty Board (discord channels)

  • Open bounties are available to all bounty hunters
  • In the #bounty-board channel (where bounties are posted) the hunter must check off a bounty once they complete it.

Creating a Bounty

  • A person can only be targeted once per wipe. Unless the target allows multiple bounties with the /multiplebounties command
  • A group is allowed to post 3 bounties per wipe (The limit is only 3 for non-anonymous, you can place countless anonymous bounties, this is to avoid drama)
  • Targets get one hour’s notice before a bounty becomes active
  • Bounties placed maliciously may be invalidated by staff.
  • The HQM used to purchase the bounty should never be returned to the owner by another player. If we find out that someone placed a bounty and a friend killed them, then returned the HQM – both will be charged as an illegal kos.

Hunting a target

  • You need to verify you have the right person. If you kill the wrong player you will lose your bounty hunter license. If sniping, use binoculars and verify it is them via the contact system.
  • If you are in a clan, you can’t have clanmates hunt with you or help you locate your target.
  • No hunting in the hub/dungeons/public events.
  • The hunter should never split the HQM with the hunted or the person who created the bounty.
  • You can only kill in frontiers/cities if no one else is around (excluding clan mates) and you are using a silencer (we don’t want people to see it and think it’s a KOS).
  • The target should spawn with all of their items. If the plugin fails and the player is able to be looted or if items are somehow dropped, the hunter must hold loot until the person can come back. You can defend the body from other players.
  • Hunter needs to keep open slots so they can retrieve as much loot as possible.
  • A hunter only gets one chance at a target. If the hunter dies, they can no longer hunt that player.
  • Hunter must go to Discord immediately to check off bounty in the #bounty-board channel and confirm the kill in the #completed-bounties channel.
  • If you kill a target at their base and the door is left open, you are not allowed to loot that base. You must defend that entrance so no one else can enter.

Rules for the target/hunted

  • If you are the target of a bounty, you can fight back after the hunter attacks or if you catch the bounty hunter sitting outside of you or your ally’s house (in claimed land, not city or frontier land).
  • If the target is naked it doesn’t count.
  • Friends of the target can’t defend.
  • If the target dies to the hunter, they can’t come back to fight.

After reading the bounty hunting rules, you can speak with the bounty hunter NPC, Boba, located in the hub. He will give you a quiz and if you pass, you become a bounty hunter.
