System Messages Bounty Mission Mission Types There are three types of bounty hunter missions available to a bounty hunter, depending on what level of the investigation tree they are currently trained in.

The parts of a Bounty Hunter mission details are: Target Location Creator Reward Difficulty Target This is the npc or player that needs to be killed in order for the player to obtain their reward. Location Bounty missions do not display locations. Creator The name of the mission creator. Reward This is the payout to the player in credits for successfully completing the mission. Mission payout reward formula is currently unknown. Difficulty Challenge rating of the mission depends on the player and their pet's combined challenge levels. Other players and pets in the group do not affect the difficulty level of a bounty hunter mission. The bounty hunter's bounty mission difficulty affects the floor or base min and maxium credit rewards for missions but Difficulty level in bounty missions increases the minimum payout amount offered. See Challenge Levels for more information about difficulty level calculations. Bounty Mission STF Analysis m10d A bounty is hereby issued on a former chemist employed by Cassandran Distilleries. Target is believed lightly armed and low-threat. The client requests this message be given to the target before termination: "Hope you enjoyed your last Cassandran Sunrise." m10o Bounty Hunters' Guild m10s Client sends congratulations and this message: "Enjoy a drink on us." m10t Alcohol Chemist m10v I never thought they'd kill me for stealing just one little distillation process! Notes: m10d - This is the mission description displayed in mission terminals or on the mission if a player examines the mission. This is also given as npc dialogue when a player receives the mission from a mission giving npc. m10o Mission Creator m10s - Response given by a mission giving npc once the player finished that particular assignment and came back to it for another mission. (Not used in game since there is no evidence so far that npcs gave bh missions) m10t - This is the mission title as seen on the terminal or on the mission details once the mission has been accepted by the player. m10v This is presumably the message that the mark gives upon being attacked.
