Bounty tasks
This copy was last processed on . The copied wiki revision is dated .
Bounty tasks are a type of port task involving boat combat available at level 30 Sailing where players collect a particular sea monster's body parts. A task has the following steps:
- Visit a notice board to choose a task.
- Sail to any spot with the requested monsters.
- Kill monsters until they drop the requested number of body parts. When a body part is received, a unique jingle triggers alongside it much like getting unique drops from bosses.
- Bring the items back to port and claim-rewards from any port master.
When doing bounty tasks, some unique drops such as bottled storm and broken dragon hook are dropped at boosted drop rates. This boosted drop rate only persists until the bounty item is obtained. Destroying the bounty item does not prolong these boosted rates.
Each notice board has one bounty task that will always be available, and each bounty monster is guaranteed to appear on at least one notice board.
Bounties' difficulties are based on the colour surrounding the scimitars; grey means easy and accessible, blue is slightly harder and red is for very hard or not accessible. Unlike courier tasks, which check a player's stats and requirements to see if it can be completed, bounty tasks only require a Sailing level to accept.
The player is rewarded coins equal to the amount of base Sailing experience gained from the task. Players also have a 1 in 36 chance of receiving shark paint as a reward. Unlike cargo, which must be delivered at a specific port, bounty rewards can be claimed from any port master and players can obtain the parts from any location that has the monster. Parts obtained from monsters cannot be banked but are stackable and storable in a ship's cargo hold. Note that while bounty parts stored in a cargo hold will be lost if the ship is recovered or teleported, they can be safely transported by teleporting with the parts in the player's inventory.
At level 30, three port tasks of either type (courier or bounty) can be accepted at a time, with more slots becoming available at higher levels:
| Level | Tasks |
|---|---|
| 30 | 3 |
| 56 | 4 |
| 84 | 5 |
The level requirement to accept a Bounty task from a notice board cannot be boosted.
Tasks can be cancelled in the captain's log, at the board they were received from, or by using any port master's cancel-task option. Cancelling a partially completed bounty task does not remove your monster parts, and these can be stored if necessary to count towards your next task of the same type. While on a bounty task, the drop rate of most sailing uniques is doubled. This increased drop rate only applies up until the task's required item count is met for the first time; e.g killing vampyre krakens as part of a Vampyre kraken ink sac bounty will provide the player with the increased drop rate for their first five ink sacks; acquiring any more will result in the default rate being used instead, to avoid drop rate boosting by intentionally destroying or losing bounty items.
Two Bounty tasks for the same monster type can be accepted at once, provided they are for different drops. Refer to each monster for their corresponding bounty part and the location that offers the task.
