Note that if you try to turn a head into a guard and the guard tells you that you must take it to a different precinct, you have a head from the old bounty system. You cannot turn a head from the old bounty system into guards under the new system. Either discard the head or keep it as a trophy.

The following is a summary for how Bounties will work in the Reputation system.

• Every time you report a Murderer, you are given the choice to contribute gold to a bounty. The gold is automatically removed from your bank account.
• When you kill a Murderer, you must chop up the Murderer's corpse in order to retrieve the head. (This will result in a small Karma loss but it will not flag you as a Criminal)
• You can take the bountied Murderer's head to any guard in any town and give it to the guard in order to collect the bounty. (This will result in a small Karma gain equal to the amount lost for chopping up the corpse.)
• Banks will have bounty boards that list the top bountied Murderers on the shard.
• Bounties decay after 2 weeks if the Murderer does not get reported during the 2 weeks. Any gold in the bounty is returned to the economy (not to the victims who added gold).
• A Bounty remains active even after a Murderer loses his Murderer status. Only after the 2 weeks has gone by will the bounty be removed.
