To begin playing Bounty Hunter, you will first have to speak with Mandrith, who will explain how the minigame works.
When you are ready to begin tracking your foes through the Bounty Hunter crater, you will have the option to enter one of three caves. These caves - which look increasingly ominous for quick identification - are arranged by combat level requirements, as follows:

* Level 3 - 55: western cave
* Level 50 - 100: central cave
* Level 95+: east cave

Entering one of these caves will transport you to a crater populated by other players in your combat range. In the unlikely event that there aren’t enough players to begin the slaughter, you will be transported to a waiting room. There, you will have some time to prepare yourself before you are teleported into the crater. Provided there are at least 10 people in the waiting room, you will have 30 seconds to prepare yourself. If there are not enough people playing Bounty Hunter in your combat range, you will have to wait for more players to join.
When there are enough players, you will be able to see how long you have left to wait by looking at the box in the top-right corner of the game window. In the meantime, you might like to have a quick chat with the cleaners that walk about sweeping up the dust and grit that bounty hunters inevitably leave behind.
When you are teleported into the crater, you will notice that the countdown timer box changes slightly.
The box in the top-right corner will display the name of the player you have been assigned to hunt down and defeat.
Above everyone’s head will be a skull and a pile of coins. This indicates the market value of the items that each person is carrying.
The colour of the skull and the size of the pile of coins corresponds to the market value of items a player is carrying, so it should be a simple matter to judge how much wealth someone has at a glance.
The greater the value of the items someone is carrying, the higher the skull level (colour and size of coin pile) they will have. As you can imagine, the more items you accumulate from killing your enemies, the more attractive a target you will become!
You will arrive at a random entrance to the crater, and will have 6 seconds to compose yourself, during which time you cannot be attacked or attack anyone else. After this, you can be attacked by anyone and, if you are slain, you will lose all the items you are carrying.
