Greetings Avatars! I have been working on a new feature for shroudoftheavatar.net called bounties, which are designed to reward players for killing specific mobs in-game. The system uses the API data to gather who has killed which mob during a specific time window. You can view all of the bounties that I currently have here. This is primarily focused on dragons this time around. There are bounties for the person that kills the most dragons in the time period. The most Ferocious Orange Pit Dragons, Ancient Black Dragons (T10), Ancient Black Dragons (T15), Ancient Green Dragons, Gold Clockwork Dragons, Blackened Clockwork Dragons, Ancient Yellow Dragons, Yellow Dragons, the person that kills the most Liches, and the person that kills the most skeletons! I am offering 1000 COTOs for each bounty! I put some test bounties up to show what the results of a bounty would look like: Total Dragons (test), Ferocious Orange Pit Dragon (test), Total Skeleton Kills (test), and Total Obsidian Cabalists (test). I think it shows that there's a nice low bar here and anyone can learn how to attack these mobs and compete for prizes! You do not need an account on shroudoftheavatar.net to be in the contest, but you must make your stats visible within the game client and if you play the game on multiple machines, make your stats visible on all machines (I think). Results are updated daily while the bounty is active, so you can track your progress easily! We will generally need to wait 24 hours after a bounty ends to see the winner, so please be patient! I will work to make this as smooth and transparent as possible. I might add a ledger that will show you each specific kill recorded in the stats, so we can all see the entries behind the numbers. The system is easy to manage, and I can add new bounties quickly, which I plan to do throughout 2026, if avatars are enjoying it and we get good participation. If you want to create a bounty of your own and have shroudoftheavatar.net manage it for you just DM me on the forums, and I will coordinate it with you. I have NOT done a great job of fleshing my own bounties out, but you can have a blurb to advertise anything you like that goes with your bounty, link to your twitch stream, a forum post, your website, social media, etc. Bounties have a start and end date, can include any number of unique mobs and exclude any mobs by their name in-game/API even watchers, if you so desire. ----------------------------A huge thank you to everyone that went after a bounty! There were some very close contests in the end and surprise winners in the end. Remember, these bounties are a marathon not a sprint. Plenty of bounties could have gone to someone else. Winner: Bee Striker - Total Dragons - 1000 COTOs Winner: Hemnu Lightbringer - Ferocious Orange Dragon - 1000 COTOs Winner: Dutch - Ancient Black Dragon (T10) - 1000 COTOs Winner: Dutch - Ancient Black Dragon (T15) - 1000 COTOs Winner: Ceal Astra - Ancient Green Dragon - 1000 COTOs Winner: KnightRider - Gold Clockwork Dragon - 1000 COTOs Winner: KnightRider - Blackened Clockwork Dragon - 1000 COTOs Winner: Bee Striker - Ancient Yellow Dragon - 1000 COTOs Winner: Bee Striker - Yellow Dragon- 1000 COTOs Winner: Mondravis - Total Lich Kills - 1000 COTOs Winner: Boom ShakaLaka - Total Skeleton Kills - 1000 COTOs I'll be mailing out prizes tonight and, hopefully, you will see the new bounties in the morning!
I am pumped for bounties like the obsidian cabalists. I might want to add that one, as well, for the first series. I was shocked how few cabalists are being fought, right now. Now, a lot more might be being killed by people hiding their information from the stats, but hopefully, we get some of them to come out of hiding!
Very unique event! I give my thanks to your commitment to your in-game community of Shroud. This event is awesome
After killing 1 Lich and a handful of skeletons I looked up the bounty lists to check if I'n (not that I could compete numberswise but just that I appear in the list) but nothing. I checked after 15 minutes, on the next day. Now a week later nothing. Is it possible that Liches and skeletons killed in random encounters on Novia are not counted for the bounty lists?
No - they should be recorded if they have Skeleton in their name. If they have names that don't include the term, let me know what they are and I'll add them. Have you enabled your name to appear in API stats? You have to opt-in.
No, I don't think you have yourself showing in states. Right click your name plate (top left) and select the option that say show name in stats or something to that affect. I can't find you here either: https://shroudoftheavatar.tools/search/universal-search.php Both sites use the API
I do find me on that page. https://shroudoftheavatar.tools/player/player-detail.php?Herbert!Taraxacum
https://shroudoftheavatar.net/player/Herbert+Taraxacum/kills ah forgot your character name... might be a timing issue.. my site is very slow to update
@ConjurerDragon you definitely turned off your 'show my name in API stars'. Neither site has data from you in months. It's worth noting you have to allow API stats per computer in my experience. Please double-check it. If it says "Hide name from public stats", it's on. It's really confusing
Ah, that it is then "per computer". I did move from my old to a new computer and installed the game again and it seems from that point on it was set back to not show without me having a clue. Changed it to show again now. Edit: Now that I think about it - Sota really should save those settings and have them the same even after a reinstall when I do continue the very same game and same avatar...
