1-A bounty is a contract that pays Silver in exchange for trophy items. Bounties are the most reliable way for a new player to earn currency without a settled economy behind them, and they are the mechanism that drives the religious victory path. They are taken from the bounty button on the interface or from a bounty board placed outside a Town Keep.

3+Since the MS 68 build, bounty boards also appear at Fortress Keeps and Large Camps, although the PvE hunting contracts are only offered at Towns. A board starts with around eighteen contracts and slowly replenishes a mix of difficulties.

35 A player holds a limited pool of available bounties at any time, and that pool refills gradually rather than all at once, so bounty income is paced rather than farmable in bulk.

79 Accept a contract from the bounty interface or a bounty board.Complete the objective, which is usually killing a specific creature or enemy player and recovering the trophy it drops.Return to a town and hand the trophy in for the Silver reward.

1012 Trophies are ordinary inventory items until they are handed in, which means they can be lost on death or taken from a body. Carrying a full set of high-value trophies through contested ground is a real risk, and a run that ends badly loses the payout as well as the gear.

1719 Reading the Difficulty Tiers

1820

1921 Difficulty runs from Very Easy through Easy, Medium, Hard and Very Hard to Elite. The tiers track how dangerous the target is rather than how long the contract takes. The Very Easy and Easy hunts are safe solo work near a settlement. The Medium and Hard tiers push a player into Reaver camps, the Underworld, or enemy territory, all of which carry a real chance of losing the run. The single Elite contract pays by far the most and targets the toughest creature in the game.

2123 Bounties and the War

2224

23-Three families of bounty are tied directly to the war rather than to hunting. The Death-Writ contracts pay for killing enemy players and recovering a faction token from the body. The Pillage contracts send a player into enemy farmland with torches or oil flasks to burn farms and carry off the valuables inside. The Religious Relics contract is the delivery step of the religious victory path: relics excavated from Relic Sites are handed in as a bounty, and each turn-in adds to the empire's influence total.

25+Three families of bounty are tied directly to the war rather than to hunting. The Death-Writ contracts pay for killing enemy players and recovering a faction token from the body. The Fortress Writ, added alongside the territory zone system, pays 750 Silver for capturing an enemy Fortress Keep; the bounty item drops into the captured Keep’s hold to be looted along with any Silver, and like the Death-Writs it can be handed in at Fortresses and Camps as well as Towns. The Pillage contracts send a player into enemy farmland with torches or oil flasks to burn farms and carry off the valuables inside. The Religious Relics contract is the delivery step of the religious victory path: relics excavated from Relic Sites are handed in as a bounty, and each turn-in adds to the empire's influence total.

2527 This makes the bounty board one of the few systems that pays an individual player for doing something the whole empire needs, which is why bounty boards sit at the centre of most towns rather than at their edges.
