Becoming a BHer is easy, all you need to do is start killing PKers who are listed on the Rogues Gallery. It's advisable to start with a character that is already high level as survivor on survivor kills only receive half the amount of XP, so levelling up a new character as a BHer will take twice as long. You're also going to get targeted more often by PKers so you don't want to be at a disadvantage when it comes to the necessary skills. Several tools and resources exist to make things easier, but it's possible to do the job using only what Kevan gave you. | Becoming a BHer is easy, all you need to do is start killing PKers who are listed on the Rogues Gallery.

You wont be able to get access to the private area until you've amassed 5 kills in a 2 week period, but we do have a bounty hunting section in the public area as well. It's worthwhile getting access to the private area as quickly as possible as this is where all the sightings are and where all the coordination takes place. | You'll then want to sign up at the BHers guild (obviously), so you can get to know your fellow hunters and get some answers to any questions you might have.
