So I received 1200000 XP (one million two hundred thousand) for becoming Master Bounty Hunter by getting 70k in bounties; the highest rank. That's almost as much as I got so far, I was 1.3M , and I reached pretty far, just finished Regna.
Is this normal, or did someone add an accidental 0? I know it wasn't easy to get the bounties, but come on, it's not like it's harder than all the other quests combined. Crazy.

Was this a quest or something? I don't remember seeing anything like that.

The guild of bounty hunters creates a new bounty each month. After you get n gold from bounties you get your rank increased. I believe you become novice at 10k, journeyman at 40k and master at 70. Each rank increase comes with an XP reward, but none of the first two were any close to being this massive.

Ah, okay. I don't think I ever did much with the bounties, since no one offered it specifically as a quest (like the bounty oriented promotion quest in MM7) and I never needed the gold that badly.

I would guess it is an extra zero in there, but honestly, you'd have to be pretty far along anyway to nail some of those bounties, considering the travel times and areas that may need to be reached. *shrug*

It was a pain reloading the bounties till you got something just right:
_something you can beat at your level
_something that actually gives you some money (not a peasant for 100 gold)
_something that is in or close to the area you plan taking next.

Oh well, I hope that jumping 15-20 levels (from 50 to 60-high) in one go won't make the next areas too easy. To be honest though, they kind of already were.

Well, googling seems to confirm that others are getting it too, so at least it's not a bug in my game but probably a mistake by developers. A Novice Bountyhunter gets 40000 XP, a Journeyman Bountyhunter gets 80000 XP, so the Master was probably meant to get 120000 XP instead of 1.2M.
