Just noticed today that the amount you get no longer displays, you just get a standard 'you gained some coins for this kill' message. At least it wasnt for me? I know the amount is so low its worthless but I like to keep track of it nontheless.<div></div>

I just used it for the first time last night.  I'll pay attention tonight.  Otherwise, you could always go out hunting with no cash on you.  Keep a tick sheet for each time you use and then average what you end up with...oh... the message should show in our logs, you could get the number there.<div></div>

<div></div>Haha SoE knows it suck as an AA so they are removing the amount so that the new Rangers might think hey this is kool since they dont see the worthless amount of money you get.

Last night, I noticed my "cash received" messages were appearing with less frequency.  I confess that I wasn't paying a lot of attention since I was in a fast paced group in Den of the Devourer.  I'll look at it more closely this evening.<div></div>

<div>Used it a couple times today.  Still getting my pretty message at the top of the screen that says how much I get, as well as one in my chat box.</div>

Don't mean to go crazy off topic, but maybe it isn't anyway.  I have never gotten a message at all on bounty when in a group.  If I get the killing shot, the icon disappears from my buff bar, but no message about recieving anything.  If I am not grouped, I get the message at top of screen as well as in the chat box.  Anyone else notice this?  I just assumed that I wasn't getting anything, so I quit using it in groups...am I mistaken?<div></div>

<div></div><p>I also noticed that I wasn't collecting the bounty in groups, even on killing blows. This, I think, was caused by me assisting and actually killing the tanks target not my own. Switching to target the mob allowed me to collect the riches iirc.</p><p>No idea if they've sneakily changed the text for this skill though as I stopped using it a while back since it's pretty much worthless.</p>

OK, soloing last night, I got messages giving me how much I got from Bounty.  So, it's still working on Live.  Maybe there are other factors that come into play that are stifling your message.Hope that helps.<div></div>

I group with a conjuror all the time, and I can say with 99.999% certainty that their Ember Seed buff screws up Bounty big time. If someone else procs Ember Seed on the mob, even if you get the shot that would kill it and there's no other mobs left in the encounter, the Blooming Flames (on death proc) goes off and won't give you kill credit for Bounty. On the flipside, if you proc Ember Seed on a mob and someone else gets the 'killing blow', Blooming Flames goes off and it will say you killed the mob but Bounty won't give you anything and you lose the buff on top of that.Basically Bounty is a heap of crap.<div></div>

Maybe it was a display bug then on my end. I have noticed I'm not getting anything while in a group though. Working as intended?This is possibly <u>the</u> most useless AP I've seen yet on all my 10 characters. Compared to my Guardian's first AP its really unbalanced. Wish I could cure 25% of my hits after every fight <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>
