This page describes the Bounty Hunter system and the Flame Wolf system.

Introduction

Bounty Portals and Flame Wolf are introduced to break the monotony of grinding. They will appear when the player activated certain conditions, and only that player can enter the portal being spawned in the map. (These portals will remove the player from the map, so the map will be vacant if the player was alone.)

Conditions

The spawn conditions for the Bounty Hunter portals and Flame Wolf portals are as follows.

Bounty Portals
  • Phase 0: At least 10 minutes after the previous bounty portal
  • Phase 1: After Phase 0, kill 1,000 monsters within level range by yourself (during Haste+ events: After Phase 0, kill 500 monsters within level range by yourself)
  • Phase 2: After Phase 1, each monster within level range killed by yourself has a chance to spawn the bounty portal by yourself. During Haste+ events, the chance of spawning the portal is increased.
Flame Wolf
  • Phase 0: At least 15 minutes after the previous flame wolf
  • Phase 1: After Phase 0, kill 1,000 monsters within level range by yourself
  • Phase 2: After Phase 1, each monster within level range killed by yourself has a chance to spawn the bounty portal by yourself

Both the Bounty Hunter portal and the Flame Wolf portal cannot appear at the same time.

By default, if you waited sufficiently long enough, you will already be at Phase 1. Kill counts made in Phase 1 will be saved on the character even when logging out.

The daily entrance limit is 20 Bounty Hunter portals and 5 Flame Wolf portals per character. The entrance limit is not consumed if you chose not to enter the portal. For bounty hunter portals, you can immediately reject it to make it go to Phase 0 immediately, while for flame wolf portals it is impossible to do so.

Bounty Portal

There are a total of 7 types of possible activities: 3 of the activities are related to Polo, and 4 of them are related to Frito. The NPC will be revealed when attempting to enter the portal. A common theme is that Polo portals involve killing monsters, while Frito portals involve mini games unrelated to hunting.

Polo

The activities for Polo are: Protect Polo, Castle Defense and Stormwing Hunt.

Protect Polo

In this stage, kill 5 waves of monsters while preventing them from attacking Polo too much that he dies (It is actually really hard for Polo to die actually). Even if Polo does not die, there is a time limit of 3 minutes.

Maximum Base Reward based on level 220+ arcane/authentic force maps: 800.98 times the monster EXP of the map, based on the monster that triggered the portal spawn. EXP rewarded is not affected by level advantage multipliers, but it is affected by your own EXP multipliers.

Castle Defense

In this stage, kill 3 waves of monsters while preventing them from reaching the other ends of the map. Monsters will appear from the top left and bottom right at the same time, and will travel to the top right and bottom left respectively. The stage terminates immediately once 20 monsters across all 3 waves have reached the opposite ends.

Maximum Base Reward based on level 220+ arcane/authentic force maps: 850.34 times the monster EXP of the map, based on the monster that triggered the portal spawn. EXP rewarded is not affected by level advantage multipliers, but it is affected by your own EXP multipliers. Monsters that reached the opposite ends are killed by Polo, but they will not provide any EXP.

Stormwing Hunt

In this stage, just kill as many monsters as you can. These monsters have higher HP than other stages, and they do not count as boss monsters. The time limit is 30 seconds, and 1 stormwing will appear. Up to 4 more stormwings can appear in the same way, 3 seconds after the previous stormwing is killed. The base time limit is 30 seconds, and each stormwing killed increases the time limit by 6 seconds (total +30 seconds). However, once 200 monsters have been killed, time limit will be fixed to 5 seconds, and stormwings killed afterwards will not increase the time limit.

Base Reward based on level 220+ arcane/authentic force maps:

  • Normal monsters: 3.12 or 3.43
  • Stormwing: 62.26
  • Snowman (rare spawn): 31.13

EXP rewarded is based on the numbers above times the monster EXP of the map, based on the monster that triggered the portal spawn. It is not affected by level advantage multipliers, but it is affected by your own EXP multipliers.
