# Bounty Hunter System

### Mechanics & Guide

#### 📍 Location

You can find the **Bounty Hunter NPC** in **Ark Lobby**

***

#### 🧭 What is the Bounty Hunter System?

The Bounty Hunter System allows players to **hunt specific monsters** for rewards like **Zeny** and **items**. Bounties are posted by GMs and are available to all players until claimed.

***

#### 🗺️ How It Works

1. **View Active Bounties**
   * Talk to the Bounty Hunter NPC.
   * Select `View Bounty List` to see monsters with active bounties.
   * You’ll see:
     * The **Monster’s Name**
     * The **Zeny Reward**
     * The **Item Reward** (if any)
2. **Hunt the Monster**
   * Go out and kill the monster listed in the bounty.
   * You only need to land the killing blow.
   * When you kill it:
     * A server-wide announcement will say you defeated it.
     * You’ll be told to return to the NPC.
3. **Claim Your Reward**
   * Go back to the Bounty Hunter NPC.
   * Select `Claim Reward`.
   * You’ll receive your Zeny and/or item reward.
   * A second server-wide announcement will celebrate your success!

***

#### 🏆 Bounty Ladder

* Select `Top 10 Bounty Hunters` to view the **top players** based on how many bounties they’ve completed.

***

#### ⚠️ Notes

* Only **one player** can claim a bounty. Once completed, it's removed from the list.
* You must **kill the monster yourself**. Party assists or support skills won’t count.
* Some monsters may have **high-value rewards**, so be quick!
* If a bounty is already completed, it can’t be edited or removed by GMs.
