Since I am trying to keep my hotkeys at no more than 4 bars of 12 keys, I removed that worthless skill. I honestly completely forget I have it until I read a thread that mentions it. I wish SOE did not force us to have to learn a skill to start the AA progression.. or barring that, made it somehow useful. As it is.. it would much better serve me by bumping up my ranged crits to level 6.Merkades, 70th Ranger.Siege, Najena.

I use it. Never turn down the chance of free money.It helps pay the raid repair bills if nothing else. Shame it's not like the SWG version & has the chance to nab an item.. or pre-nerf,  a rare item <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Over a couple of hours in a raid zone, it might get me 5-6g if I'm lucky.. but at <10s for killing a 70+ epic, it isn't going to make me rich any time soon.<div></div>

Personally, I macro the bounty ability in with my melee CA's.. So I use it every time I joust without thinking. Really a great way to make use of the ability without having to remember to use it every time. <div></div>

[Gareorn]

<DIV>Bounty?  Oh, ya.  I forgot all about that skill.  Is it still dropping 4-5 silver?</DIV>

[Saihung23]

<P>Did they make it better?</P> <P>lol, till they do its not worth a spot on my already cramped hotbars...I dunno...maybe I will macro it tonight...I hate not using something...</P>

[Teksun]

hmmm so maybe 1gp/hour? that might be worth it. Heck thats 1pp/week for some of you, LOL<div></div>

[Bledso]

<P>I use everytime it comes up.   Doing the grifter quests in MajDul it just adds to the kitty.</P> <P>Helps me achieve my 1 plat per day doing those quests and others - selling junk etc...</P> <P>No harm no foul.</P>

[Tseri]

<DIV>My max so far is like 31 silver or something.  I keep this up I'm gonna be [Removed for Content] rich :smileyvery-happy:</DIV>

[Jayad]

I use it when I'm bored and I want to see how much my new bounty-high can be!

Do what I do, and create a macro for some of your abilities that also fire off bounty.  Saves from wasting hotbar space and keeps you using the ability without having to think about it. <div></div>

[LaKai65]

<DIV>is bounty something that's suppose to make up for the cost of arrows?</DIV>

[Aeadiin]

<div><blockquote><hr>LaKai6510 wrote:<div>is bounty something that's suppose to make up for the cost of arrows?</div><hr></blockquote>Thats what I would guess, but it doesn't come close to covering the expenses.</div>

[Maurin]

<P>I use it all of the time. Putting it into a macro is a great idea. </P> <P>No. It isn't supposed to help with the cost of arrows. It's just a little bonus. If ye don't want it, don't use it.</P>

All the time, every little bit helps.. 1 bounty pays for 1 poison sometimes.

[Saihung23]

<P>Bounty is the quilted quicker picker upper...it beats all other leading brands.</P> <P><IMG height=284 alt="Messy Dog." src="http://www.papertowels.com/images/gallery/gallery_image_dog.jpg" width=387 border=0></P> <P>Just look at it picking up that dog poop of the golden retriever.</P>

<P>I got a whole 3s off the Godking...</P> <P>For obvious reasons, Bounty has been relegated to the Knowledge Book, never again to see the light of day.</P>

[Bryony]

<p>I use it, when I remember it is there. I'll be firing away and then nothing oh yeah hey... spare change *click* and there you have it. I do not use it on any regular basis, but I probably would if I could remember that I actually had it.</p><p>Update 2/24/10 -- haha long time right? I was going through my old posts and found this. I now have those things macro'd to various combat arts. Mindlessly adding gold to my bags during raids, good stuff.</p>

<DIV>Every time I would use it, I'd receive the message "You receive a small bounty for X." so I thought Hmm... maybe it's based on the mob's level or other state of uberness...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So we were doing an instance and there was a dragon at the end.  Tough fight, but we had a great group, so I figured I'd pop bounty and try for a few gold.  I mean, c'mon, it's a [Removed for Content] dragon....</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>5 silver, 24 copper.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Small bounty.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My guess is that it's not working right.  I just have to keep believing that.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Q</DIV>
