Reaper's Bounty
The Reaper's Bounty is a Reaper's Bones Treasure cursed with the Reaper's Mark, allowing it to be tracked on a Map Table.
Cursed effects

The Reaper's Bounty is cursed with the Reaper's Mark, causing its location to be tracked on a Map Table indicated by a gold & white Reaper's Mark map marker. If the Reaper's Bounty spawns on a shipwreck or is dug up, it will emit a swirling beacon of golden light. This beacon will persist even after it is picked up and will follow it wherever it goes. The high value and visibility of the Reaper's Bounty make players transporting them easy targets.
Where to find
The Reaper's Bounty can be found from the following sources:
- Random chance to spawn in Shipwrecks
- 0-2 in a completed Fort of the Damned Raid Vault (either Reaper's Chests or Reaper's Bounties)
- Possible reward for various time-limited Mercenary Voyages
