General Description

Bounties (also known as "conscription order" or "hunt") are blessings offered by NPC's next to a resurrection shrine that allow you to collect Sunspear Promotion Points or Lightbringer Points.

In Normal Mode:

Blessing. You gain double XP from <Species> and earn N <Sunspear Promotion Point(s) / Lightbringer point(s)> for each <Species> you slay.

In Hard Mode:

Blessing. You earn N <Sunspear Promotion Point(s) / Lightbringer point(s)> for each <Species> you slay. When you slay a <Species> boss, you cain N additional <Sunspear Promotion Point(s) / Lightbringer point(s)> (maximum N*25) for each <Species> slain while under the effects of this bounty.

Each bounty is for a certain species of foe that currently poses a threat to the area.

A bounty blessing lasts until you leave the current zone. A bounty blessing will not cost anything. The bounty will only benefit players who take it, however, it will count any kills made by the party, even those by members who are outside of the danger zone radius. As such, multiple players can take on a blessing and then spread out in different directions to kill the designated monsters with each kill gaining promotion points for all players no matter how far apart.

Any number of different bounties can be active at the same time.

Cut-off

As a character increases in level and Sunspear/Lightbringer rank, bounty-givers eventually stop offering bounties in order to prevent easy farming for promotion points. The exact rules seem to be complex and are not known in detail. It is believed that the cut-off point is determined by the average level of foes of the designated species in the area relative to the character level and rank.

  • The same bounty may no longer be available in one place, but may still be available at another shrine.
  • Within the same area, one bounty may no longer be available, but another bounty still is.

Sunspear Bounties

Point Gain

In the different regions of Elona, Sunspear bounties will yield various amounts of promotion points.

Though perhaps obvious, it is worth noting that you will not gain points for killing pets of enemies (most notably those of the Beast Sworn Heket).

Notes

  • Insight Scroll's Experience bonuses stack with bounties.
  • Hard Mode Bounties do not offer an experience bonus. Possible reason is the fact that any kill in Hard Mode gives +50% experience.

Trivia

  • The writing on the bounty icons bears a superficial resemblance to the Runic alphabet.
