Tomorrow (Sept 18th, a month before my birthday) Jagex is re-releasing Bounty Hunter and it's RADICALLY different than the original. Here's what we know so far. ASK QUESTIONS ON THIS THREAD, not in IRC. I'll be updating this thread with FAQs(at the bottom). Some of the material is repeated, but that's because I want to get this up ASAP. I'll post to FA forums once we have more questions in.

Jagex plans on releasing it EARLY, so be on as early as you can. I'm going to sleep early so I can be up at 6 EST. I'll send out a tweet when it's released so if you don't want to be woke up by it turn your phone on airplane mode.

The skull has a 4 second delay, so if your target drops their AGS you know it, but it's 4 seconds late

-No hint arrow, but there location of your target changes colors based on how close you are. Red = far away, green = close. Jagex is open to adding a hint arrow but think the community is majority against it. Not by a wide margin tho.

Killstreak is amount of kills you've gotten before leaving the wilderness, There are no highscores for kill streak, but there are highscores for rogue/target kills.

- When you get a TARGET kill they *MAY* drop a mysterious emblem, IT IS NOT 100% DROP, note its at the BOTTOM of the pile:

- You can't get the SAME target until you go through 7 more targets

Mysterious emblems

The entire concept behind BH is to give incentive to pk other pkers and it's done through emblem drops. You can trade those emblems for points.

When you kill your target there's a % chance they drop a tier 1 emblem. It's basically an ancient statuette. When you kill your next target your tier 2 emblem upgrades IN YOUR INVENTORY and you get any emblems they were carrying. Their upgrade until tier 10. What we know so far about emblem values is below:

Tier 1: 50k points?
Tier 2: 100k points?
Tier 10: 5million points
You CAN pk multiple emblems if the person you kill has multiple in their inventory
The only ones that upgrades when you kill someone is highest tier, so if you have a level 1 and 9 then only 9 upgrades to 10. In other words Tier 1 emblems are TRADABLE, 9-10 are NOT, but if you kill someone for a tier 8 you DO get it. So really they're trust tradable.
Rogue kills don't give emblems, but if the person had them in their inventory you get them.

Targets

When targets bank you keep them FOR TWO MINUTES. If you leave the wilderness with a target you incur a penalty and dont get a new target for 5 minutes instead of 2. This compounds to the point that if you leave the wilderness WITH A TARGET 5 times with with a target ITS A HALF HOUR. So this makes us pking in multi fairly shitty for targets.

Targets are based on YOUR COMBAT, if it cant find ANYONE then its -/+1, then -/+2, then -/+3. This means that if the only people in the wild are pures in edge and us in level 50 we'll be eachother as targets. Wilderness levels dont matter for the target system, so if a level 60 gets a level 120 you can attack that 60 in level 1 wild.

There is no target rushing. Single is single. Period. jagex is open to fixing that.

They'll be server first messages ie first to 100 kills first to a tier 10 emblem ect. I don't think this means anything for us, but if you're an edge pker go for it.

Anti-Farming mechanisms

You can't get the same target until you've gotten 7 more targets

You can leave the wild/world for 2 minutes before switching targets/incurring penalties, so if you get someone and they wanna bank their gear they have time

Jagex hasn't mentioned no targets on Fl/CC, but they have said if they hear anyone farming they'll try to fix it.

This is my idea. I'm not saying we should do it. It may not even be the best idea.

Multi/single line near edgeville with dragon spears and welfare multi gear. This way if a target with an ags walks over we can all spear him out for his AGS. Put in your TS name your level of emblem AND HOW MANY tier 10 emblems you've had in the past. We get eachother as targets and whoever has the HIGHEST level emblem gets to kill the other person AFTER that person banks their emblem.

So Basically ts will look like this
1 4 Brian
0 5 Oergg
1 1 Foyboy
0 9 seppo_haa
2 0 Natty
0 8 Firestar
1 5 Abberation
0 0 i xpo i
1 8 Elendir444

So if Elendir gets me as a target, EVEN THO I have a lower lvel emblem, elendir banks his emblem and I kill him so mine upgrades to a 6, then I change my ts name to

0 6 Oergg

obviously other clans can ruin this, but I think many of the teams we fight will be willing to negotiate. Obviously some wont. I WANT to, because jagex will fix this sooner than later, but if you guys don't want to we wont.

Y U WANT TO FARMZ?

A level 1 emblem will get you 0 mystic bottoms. A level 10 will give you 62.

Sixty. Two.

A level 1 emblem will get you 1 ancient teleport. A level 10 will get you 100. one hundred fast f2p returns. for binders. if we each can stockpile 300+ ancient teleports then no one has to be on ancients.

Frequently Asked Questions


Is there protect item? Yes

What world is it? 18. It's our current homeworld. We may need to change since it'll get ddosed, but that means dont log at GDs in gear tonight if your auto-world is 18, because you'll probably login to a team.

Is a BH world like a pvp world? No. BH is in the wilderness only. And it will be on world 18.

How long does it take to get a tier 10 emblem if we can farm it? Jagex didn't say how long it takes to re-assign a target, but you keep a target for 2 minutes after they leave the wild or hop (they have 2 minutes to return), so it's possible it takes 2 minutes to be assigned a new one. So either 20 minutes or as fast as you can kill people.

Where do I trade in emblems? There's a guy in edgeville south of the man house. You trade in your emblems and get your rewards there.
