A Bounty Board located in Etris.
Description[]
Bounty Hunting in Deepwoken is the process of hunting someone with a low reputation in any given faction; once they are dead, the hunter gets a chest full of loot and EXP. You can choose which player to hunt on a Bounty Board via a poster. The poster will show their name, Aspect, Oath, and amount of bounty stars. If the player has no Oath, it will read "Pathfinder."
Bounty Stars are determined by the target's bounty points ranging from 1 to 8 stars
- Unhuntable = under 20 points
- ★ = 20-39 points
- ★★ = 40-59 points
- ★★★ = 60-79 points
- ★★★★ = 80-99 points
- ★★★★★ = 100-119 points
- ★★★★★★ = 120-139 points
- ★★★★★★★ = 140-159 points
- ★★★★★★★★ = 160 or more points
A target's bounty points are determined using several factors:
- 5 points per power
- 15 points from having a resonance
- 10 points from having an Oath
- 10 points from having an enchant/legendary weapon
- 5/10/15 points depending on armor tier (5 from adept, 10 from expert, 15 from master/unique)
When a bounty is taken, at the top left corner of your screen it will say the name of the person you're hunting and where they are located. The location will be refreshed every two minutes.
The details of the Bounty.
When you manage to successfully hunt someone and kill them, you'll get a chest filled with loot depending on how many stars the person you hunted has, as well as some EXP. The person who got killed will have their reputation pushed towards their default value, usually neutrality.
If you are being hunted instead and manage to kill off your hunter, YOU will get a chest filled with loot.
Tips and Advice[]
- By having neutral or above reputation with Etrea
, The Central Authority 
, The Hive , the Summer Company , the Ignition Union , The Divers , and The Knives of Eylis , you will entirely remove yourself from bounty boards. If you're looking to get rid of Voidwalkers, this is the way. - Taking as many bounties as possible is recommended as it gives you easy access to where people in your server are; especially useful if others plan on hunting you.
- If hunting as a team, make sure the bounty holder contributes enough damage and performs a MANUAL grip on the target for the bounty to be counted as complete.
- Using Blood Scourge works with confirming bounty kills.
- If you are struggling to find targets, you may have better luck by using the server browser to locate populated servers with more targets.
- Carrying rocks will prove useful to prevent your adversaries from logging, as not many people will appreciate your hunting.
- Bounty hunting is Tacet's best application as it allows you to get within range of your opponent to enter combat without giving them the chance to log; be aware however that tacet is known to commonly bug in PvP not actually making the user invisible once activated.
- Players who take the Fugitive flaw will appear on every single faction's bounty board as soon as they reach power 5 if they haven't fixed their reputation with each of them.
- Equipping different outfits/weapons that don't give bounty points allows one to lower their current bounty stars and take lower star bounties/avoid being hunted by those outside of their new bounty star range, this can be useful both for taking bounties you otherwise could not as well as avoiding being hunted.
