Are they limited?

Ie after 25 monsters killed on the bounty you don't get anymore points?

The description seems to indicate this

Thanks

Blessing. You earn N <Sunspear Promotion Point(s) / Lightbringer point(s)> for each <Species> you slay. When you slay a <Species> boss, you gain N additional <Sunspear Promotion Point(s) / Lightbringer point(s)> (maximum N*25) for each <Species> slain while under the effects of this bounty.

So, you would not gain more than the expected limit points for each boss.
I rephrased it wrongly earlier. Sorry about that.

the "points limit" is for the boss bonus. the bonus increases for each creature of the same kind as that boss you kill, but there is a maximum on that bonus, usually 25 creatures.

for example :

each kill will give you 8 extra points when you kill a boss, with a maximum of 200 bonus points

kill boss after 10 kills : 80 bonus points

kill boss after 25 kills : 200 bonus points

kill boss after 50 kills : 200 bonus points

Ah, so when that little message "25 undead vanquished" that means - kill a boss now and you'll get the upper limit on your bonus on a boss

I've been reading guildwiki on the farming points etc (trying to find the easiest place to gain points within a short time to help a number of my guildies build up quicker) but don't seem to move very far forward considering they say you can earn 300 points in 15 mins and i don't earn nearly that many in that time.

Hence my question on if you are limited, to prevent repeated farming.

Ichigo / Rotten - thanks for the comments so far!

You can zone out and start over again and still earn the SS/LB points. It maxes only when you are still in the area.
When in Hard Mode, the most popular area to get LB/SS points is farming them outside of Remains of Sahlahja.
Use the quest from that outpost called, Show of Force if you have not completed it yet. If you have it, don't complete it or accept reward. Get with a group that has it and just re-do it over and over. One of the fastest ways to get the max titles.
Also, though a bit tricky to obtain, get the quest out side of Remains of Sahlahja called Requiem for a Brain.
By taking the preists blessings, you can earn quite a bit of points in just one run.
