Bounty (2025)

Many characters have Bounties on their heads, which means that they are wanted by a faction for Cats. These characters can be learned about through their Wanted Posters.

If a player character has a bounty some factions will try to catch them. They will attack this character and after defeating them, they will put them into a cage. Such factions are United Cities, The Holy Nation, Mongrel and Bounty Hunters. If put into a cage of a faction who is pro-slavery, the character may be enslaved before their sentence is over and transported to their own respective slave mines.

Besides stealing, picking locks and looting bodies in town, player can be wanted even for visiting residential houses (like Mongrel or The Holy Nation ones). These houses are usually private. People in such houses will ask player to leave. Therefore, be careful and check a house status for "Public" before entering.

Bounty Types[]

Crime List[]

These bounties will fade over time unless the player character has become "notorious".

The time it takes for a bounty to expire is 4 hours for every c.100 that a crime adds to your total. If you are jailed (Turning yourself in or being captured) the sentence is half of that time.

Notorious[]

A bounty over c.10,000 makes a unit notorious, which means that it should never expire. It can then only be removed by bailing the character out by talking to the Police Chief/Inquisitor/Hundred Guardian (depending on the faction whom you are bailing out from) directly with another character. The cost to bail out a character is double their bounty value.

Bounties for enemies' heads[]

Bounties are prices put out on the heads of characters such as Sand Ninja Jounin, Dust Bandit Bosses, Grass Pirates and more. Even the player themselves if they commit crimes. Note that not all leaders necessarily have a bounty on them, but you can find out which ones do by clicking on them and mousing over the bounty shown on the top of the bottom left UI.

To collect a bounty, deliver their body to the Police and they will pay you as you release it. It should be noted that the character must be delivered alive for the full bounty, as turning in a corpse will only grant you half of the reward. It does not matter who killed or incapacitated the character, as long as you are the one that turns it in. Bringing in bounties also increases the reputation of the faction it has been handed in to; if handed over through dialogue. The reputation increase is +2 per bounty (+5 for holy nation if you do not ask for payment), no matter how much the bounty was or if it was delivered alive. A few notable bounties such as certain faction leaders or Bugmaster are an exception from that rule and cause much higher relation changes.

Some bounties do not actually require you to hand in a body but instead yield a high value looted item that needs to be sold. These bounties do not give reputation but also don't require hauling someone across the map either. The bounties on Fog Princes and the King Gurgler work like this. Their heads can be sold to any vendor to receive payment. If you are having difficulty finding a shop to sell them you can always go to shops which sell many Skeleton Repair Kits to purchase, sell off the "bounty" item and then resell the kits to other shops in the same town to get your money back.

Finding bounties[]

Wanted Posters can be purchased or looted from Police Stations and Bars. In this wiki, all characters with bounties are organized into the Category Bounty, including characters which only have a small chance of spawning with a bounty.

Named character bounty list[]

Please note that only male humans can turn bounties in to The Holy Nation for a relation increase. In some cases if a female character is seen holding a bounty (Moll) they will be attacked by the guards.

Bugs[]

• One possible easy way to make a considerable amount of money is to have a particular character repeatedly commit crimes against one of the major factions, such as The Holy Nation, and have a second character carry the first to a prisoner cage owned by said faction. No members of that faction have to be present by whichever cage you deposit your bounty character into.
• Sometimes bounties over c.10,000 will disappear off of characters over time.
• Units may (rarely) spawn without their bounty.
• (FCS) Although the description for bounty amount fuzz says that it will "+/- the amount to randomise the bounty" the value will only increase the bounty by up to that amount.
• (FCS) Units which have spawn in with a bounty with both the United Cities and Traders Guild will have their bounty doubled as the two factions share bounties. (Sand Ninja Oni is an example of this)
