So I understand efu already has a bounty system for NPCs and a rather cool one from what I have heard and hopefully this suggestion will make hunting NPC bounties even more fun though perhaps less dramatic in some cases. Have a bulletin board in the Watch Tower with a list of randomized bounties ranging from easy to difficult with the harder ones requiring whole groups but the payout would be significantly worth it. It doesn't have to be just creatures you can have items on there as well. Once a bounty is turned in it would be replaced with another so essentially you would have an unlimited number of bounties at all times. This makes the bounty system for NPCs even more dynamic than it is already is as you essentially have an unlimited amount of generated tasks to complete and aren't always relying off of scripted quests or that one announcement for a server wide hunt. I am not saying replace the latter rather have this supplement as it gives people plenty of things to do without it growing stale as it would encourage further exploration of the server instead of grinding the same areas. What do you guys think?

I think it sounds like a gold farm.

Wild Card

People can farm quests too if they choose to as well. If you make it so that A) Easier bounties don't yield as much gold as the more difficult ones which require groups than it can be kept from being exploited. B) Give it some time before another bounty is replaced on the bulletin board so that it is not avaiabile right away. Doing this would cut down the level of gold farming

I think the current bounty system is fine.

Everything you ask for, the server already has.

Item bounties? Like animal meat, fruits, water, animal fur, rare reagents, gardening, rare animal skin,antlers, etc?

NPCs bounties?

I suppose we could come up with lower level bounties... but seems like a waste of time as low level PCs will generally not travel far enough to find them.

Not convinced.
