Bounty system is a feature introduced in the Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire expansion, set to challenge a group of level 80 players with hunting and overcoming powerful NPC enemies. Bounties are creatures and people being driven wild by the chaotic ley energies in different places of the region. All bounties have two or three random Unstable Magic Abilities depending on the rank, which results in various combinations of abilities each time they are fought. Legendary rank bounties appear in the same places every time and Champion rank bounties change their location between three options for each bounty.
Bounty Board and contracts[edit]
Bounty Boards contain the currently active contracts needed to reveal the location of the target bounties. A player can have only one contract with them as selecting more will always replace the old selection. Having the contract is not necessary for receiving rewards for completing the bounty. Once a player selects the contract, the location of the bounty is revealed on the map.
Once the player carrying the contract has reached the location of the bounty, the event will start automatically and the players must defeat the bounty within the 10 minute time limit. Any players that participate in the event will receive rewards for the successful defeat of the bounty. Domain of Istan and Sandswept Isles bounty contracts may sometimes result in ambushes by Palawa Joko and as such do not count towards any achievement containing the target bounty.
After the bounty is defeated or the timer runs out, the contract is taken down. Legendary bounties reappear on the bounty board 30 minutes after the bounty has retreated or has been defeated. Champion bounties reappear after 15 minutes.
