# Bounty Hunter System

#### Mechanics & Guide <a href="#mechanics-and-guide" id="mechanics-and-guide"></a>

{% hint style="success" %}
**📍 Location**
{% endhint %}

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

{% hint style="success" %}
**🧭 What is the Bounty Hunter System?**
{% endhint %}

> 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**
{% endhint %}

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**
{% endhint %}

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

***

{% hint style="success" %}
**⚠️ Notes**
{% endhint %}

* 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.arkvalkyrie.com/server-features/bounty-hunter-system.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
