Default Today's Shining Blade Bounty

anyone else think this is completely not worth it?

3 supplies and 1 extra for Hard Mode? serious?

First bounty was 7 + 3

Second was 10 + 5

Third was 7 + 3

Forth is 3 + 1? wtf

If they are going to add content, and EXPECT people to play it, make it worth while at minimum

Not worth it at all, unless another boss in the area gets a quest.

I did it, but you can get 3 times the war supplies in less time and in normal mode if you just escort the Courier...

It seems this guy isn't so important on Salma's radar. Are they making it where it isn't even worthwhile to kill him for only 4 war supplies max. It is retarded that people are farming the courier like mad and get tons more for less work. Some of us get bored in repetition and killing bounties is more fun. Give us equal reward plx.

It's an easy one today. You're able to avoid most mobs leading to the boss.

regardless, it is not worth the time. an 8-10 minute courier run yields 3 times the reward

Well I hope they didn't make a lot of bounty quests because it was a waste of their time when everyone is just going to do the courier.

If that was the case people wouldn't be QQ about the low value of today's bounty.

Something I find puzzling is that Zaishen HM bonuses are usually the same as or higher than NM payouts, so you double (or more) your zcoin reward for doing HM. Yet the Wanted bounties give a HM bonus that is less than half of the NM payout. It appears as if the Wanted bounties are exactly the reverse of Zaishen, making me wonder if somebody didn't feed the numbers in backwards when setting up the Wanted bounty table. 1+3 for today would make more sense than 3+1, for example.

Because the bounties are more fun than doing the courier over and over again.

Whoa, people who enjoy the game. O.O;

The new quests are fun. I hope there's some odd ball ones to stir the mix or a mass number of quests.

Yeah, I was astonished when I've seen the reward. There's so much difference between one quest reward and another, and itt looks like they're scaling down...and if not for the fun the +1 whouldn't even be worth hm.

And yes, I'm with the ones who think the courier is boring to do more than few times.
