11Overview22A Bounty Notice is a faction-side quest type in Crimson Desert that tasks the player with tracking down a named outlaw, capturing them alive (in most cases), and delivering them to a regional constabulary for a reward of silver and faction contribution. Bounty notices are not handed out by an NPC quest-giver. Instead, they appear as wanted posters on Notice Boardslampposts, and message stakes scattered through cities, smaller settlements, and roadside camps. Reading a poster is what activates the corresponding quest in the player's journal.44Bounty notices first become available in Chapter 2: Golden Greed, when posters begin appearing around the city of Hernand. From that point on, additional notices are added across the rest of the Hernand region and, later, in the Pywel region as the player progresses the main story and unlocks new constabularies. Each notice is a self-contained side activity that can be completed at the player's pace; some can also be tackled in pairs, since two captured outlaws can be transported simultaneously by carrying one and lashing the other to the saddle of a horse.66Bounty Notices sit at the intersection of three larger systems: the broader Bounty System (which formalizes how bounties are issued and collected), the Bounty Hunting activity loop (which covers all bounty-related play, including monster bounties), and the Wanted System (the player-facing crime track that produces wanted posters of Kliff himself if he commits crimes). Bounty Notices specifically refer to the posters that send the player after other criminals, not the ones that put a bounty on the player.88How Bounty Notices Work1010Bounty Notices follow a four-step loop: locate, read, capture, and deliver. The loop is identical for every named target, even though the difficulty, reward, and capture method differ from one bounty to the next.1313StepWhat HappensLocate the posterBounty posters appear on Notice Boardslampposts, and stakes in towns and along major roads. They are marked on the minimap with a purple scroll icon, which makes them easy to spot from horseback.Read the noticeApproach the poster and hold the inspect button (CTRL on keyboard, LB / L1 on a controller) to read the bounty in detail. Reading is what activates the quest. The notice lists the target's name, last known location, capture conditions (alive or dead), and the constabulary that will pay out the reward.Find and subdue the targetTravel to the marked location. Targets often flee on sight, so the usual sequence is to chase the outlaw down, hit them with a Tackle to pin them, deal a few unarmed strikes, then trigger the Tie Up prompt to bind them. For the few targets where the notice permits a kill, you can defeat them in normal combat instead, although the alive-capture reward is usually larger.Deliver to the constabularyCarry the bound outlaw on your back or load them onto a horse and bring them to the constabulary named on the notice (typically the closest one inside the same region). Hand them over at the constabulary desk to collect silver and faction contribution points.1515Two captures can be transported at once: carry the first outlaw on your back and tie the second across the horse's saddle. This is especially useful when farming notices in the same area of Pywel or around Hernand Citywhere multiple bounty targets cluster within a short ride of the local constabulary.1616Where Bounty Notices Appear1818Bounty Notices are tied to specific regional jurisdictions. The notice itself tells you which constabulary to use, and only that constabulary will accept the corresponding outlaw. The two regions that currently issue bounties are Hernand (introduced in Chapter 2) and Pywel (added as the story opens up the dwarven highlands).2020RegionConstabularyNotesHernandHernand City ConstabularyFirst constabulary the player visits, introduced via the Bounty Notice: Jeffrey tutorial bounty. Posters cluster around lampposts inside Hernand and on roadside boards through the duchy.PywelPywel ConstabularyOpens later in the story. Many of the dwarven outlaws (Kronk, Talgrim, Throk, Grull, Borzak, Brogar, Snaggle, Ulzok) are turned in here. The longer ride between Pywel notice locations is the main argument for double-loading captures.2222Bounty Notice Catalogue2323The table below indexes every named Bounty Notice that has a dedicated wiki page. Reward values use in-game notice text where confirmed; where a specific silver figure has not been verified, the table notes only that the notice pays silver plus contribution. Open the linked article for the exact location, capture method, and any combat tips for that target.2525Bounty TargetRegionRewardNotesJeffreyHernand1 silverMaskIntroductory bounty; west of Hillside Manordaytime onlyBillyHernand2 silverNear Rhett's shop, appears after 6 PMBiancaHernand5 silverChurch of Hernand basement, around 4 PMBlixHernand15 silverUnicorn Cliff crevice, heavily guardedAlessioHernand20 silverTrembling Gorge, near a broken wagonWarrenHernand25 silver, 200 contributionSouth of Pororin; capture alive for full rewardSalvatoreHernand12 silverSunset Valley bridge, west sideSimon de MontfortHernand8 silverFar southwest beehive locationHaldinHernand30 silverVilkom Outpostavailable after liberationAeraHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationRinaldoHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationSigrunPywelSilver and contributionPywel constabulary turn-inTorfinnPywelSilver and contributionPywel constabulary turn-inTarikHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationBlairHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationHeliaHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationKronkPywelSilver and contributionDwarven outlaw; Pywel constabularyNabilaHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationSigorPywelSilver and contributionPywel constabulary turn-inTalgrimPywelSilver and contributionDwarven outlaw; Pywel constabularyThrokPywelSilver and contributionDwarven outlaw; Pywel constabularyUrsulaHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationGunderPywelSilver and contributionPywel constabulary turn-inJonathanHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationFabrizioHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationGrullPywelSilver and contributionDwarven outlaw; Pywel constabularySeleneHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationAkselHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationPatrickHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationHenrikHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationMorgaPywelSilver and contributionPywel constabulary turn-inSigridPywelSilver and contributionPywel constabulary turn-inDuranHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationLilithHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationBoHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationCaesarHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationHakimHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationBrollPywelSilver and contributionPywel constabulary turn-inGarthHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationRolfPywelSilver and contributionPywel constabulary turn-inZahirHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationBorzakPywelSilver and contributionDwarven outlaw; Pywel constabularyBrogarPywelSilver and contributionDwarven outlaw; Pywel constabularyBrooksHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationBarrickPywelSilver and contributionPywel constabulary turn-inSiennaHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationCecilHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationUlzokPywelSilver and contributionDwarven outlaw; Pywel constabularyDanteHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationIvarPywelSilver and contributionPywel constabulary turn-inVarkaPywelSilver and contributionPywel constabulary turn-inElaraHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationFrankHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationGiovanniHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationSkevald, the Carrion KingHernandSilver and contributionMajor outlaw target; high-tier rewardWolfeHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationObyssHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current locationSnagglePywelSilver and contributionDwarven outlaw; Pywel constabularyZeliaHernandSilver and contributionSee in-game notice for current location2727Rewards2828Bounty Notice payouts come in three forms: silver, faction contribution, and access to the Bounty Hunter armor and equipment ranges sold at constabularies and Hernand merchants.

The sets are organized by armor weight, with cloth at the lightest end for stealth captures and plate at the heaviest end for the more dangerous human and dwarven outlaws. Mixing pieces across weights is supported, and a handful of upgraded variants (Strapped, Horned, Crow) drop from specific high-tier captures rather than from vendors.3737SetPiecesRoleBounty Hunter ClothCloth CapCloth ArmorCloth GlovesCloth BootsLightweight scout kit; best for chase-and-tackle bounties where speed matters more than damage absorptionBounty Hunter LeatherLeather HelmLeather ArmorLeather BootsMid-weight all-rounder; the standard Hernand bounty kit.

Some targets only appear at certain times of day (Billy after 6 PM, Bianca around 4 PM) or in weather-restricted spots. Reading the poster gives you the window; ignoring it can mean a long ride to an empty camp.Default to capturing alive. The Bounty Notice: Warren guide explicitly warns that killing the target halves or voids the reward. Unless the notice authorizes a kill, lead with Tackle and Tie Up rather than a fatal combo.Stack two captures per round trip. Once you have an outlaw bound, you can still tackle and tie a second one and load them onto your horse. This roughly doubles silver per minute when bounties cluster, particularly in Pywel.Clear escorts first. Many bounties (Blix at Unicorn Cliff, Alessio at Trembling Gorge) sit inside small bandit camps. Wipe the surrounding outlaws before grappling the target so the tie-up animation does not get interrupted.Avoid committing crimes en route. Triggering the Wanted System while carrying a bound outlaw forces you to either pay a fine or do jail time before turning the bounty in, which wastes the trip.Bank contribution before unlocking faction gear. Hold onto contribution points until you can afford a complete set rather than spending piecemeal at the Hernand Contribution Shopthe cosmetics and stat bonuses on full sets stack better than partial pieces.Use the bounty boards as fast-travel anchors. Constabularies double as save points and shop hubs, and the road network around Hernand and Pywel is built around these stops, so a bounty run is also an efficient way to discover new merchants and stables.4747Notes and Trivia4949Bounty Notice items appear in the player inventory under the Items category in their own right, which is why most individual notice articles on this wiki sit in the Items category rather than Quests. This overview is filed under Quests because the activity itself is a quest type.The dwarven outlaws (Kronk, Talgrim, Throk, Grull, Borzak, Brogar, Snaggle, Ulzok) reflect the larger dwarves presence in Pywel and tend to be tougher in melee than human Hernand targets. Bringing the heavier Bounty Hunter's Plate Armor before working through the Pywel list is recommended.The Bounty Notice - Skevald, the Carrion King target is the only entry currently in the catalogue that uses a full epithet rather than a single given name, and is associated with one of the larger bandit warbands in Hernand.The Above the Law challenge track rewards completing the bounty hunting loop in specific ways (no kills, fastest delivery, full contribution caps), and overlaps heavily with the Bounty Notices catalogue. Players hunting trophies should plan their bounty order around those modifiers.5151See Also5353Bounty System5555Bounty Hunting5757Wanted System5959Crime System6161Notice Board6363Bounty Hunter6565Hernandian Contribution6767Hernand6969Pywel7171Plenty of Bounty7373Sweet Taste of Bounties7575Above the Law
