Highground Bounties — Personal, Guild and Shared Bounties

Highground Bounties tracks personal, guild and shared bounties and alerts when a target is observed. Share a hunt with other addon users, review claims and record payments. It runs on Retail, WoW Forever and Cataclysm Classic.

Features

💰 Bounty alerts

• Put a bounty on anyone, with or without gold: /hgb add 500 target.
• When the target shows up as your target, your mouseover or on a nameplate, you get a sound and a center-screen alert, anywhere: open world, battlegrounds and arenas.
• A gold coin sits beside their nameplate with the reward under it, and their tooltip names the bounty.
• Optional: tell your party or raid when you spot one.

📜 The bounty board (new)

• Each row shows the reward, audience, approval status and last sighting. Open details or claims above the board. Smaller rewards stay visible below those meeting your alert minimum.
• Separate My bounties, Guild board and Shared board views, with search, reward totals and labelled approval status.
• Add a bounty straight from your target. Open the board with /hgb, a key binding or a player's right-click menu (Retail and WoW Forever).
• Share in chat prepares a link for other bounty-addon users to review and import as a personal copy; choose a channel and press Enter to send.
• /hgb claims opens the claims ledger for manual review and payment records. /hgb test runs local sighting and claim previews.

🛡️ Guild bounties

• Submit a bounty to your guild. An officer approves it, then members using a compatible bounty addon receive it.
• Open-world sightings are shared with the guild, and on Cata your killing blow on a target tells the guild.
• Works with guild members who use Highground, Highground Bounties or Highground Nearby.
• A guild listing and its shared listing reuse the same contribution and claim history, so the reward is counted and paid once. (new)
• Highground Bounties keeps the list; players pay the gold themselves.

🌍 Shared bounties (new)

• Open /hgb shared and opt in to receiving and publishing separately. Both start off.
• Contributions from different account IDs stack on the exact target. Each lasts from five minutes to thirty days; the alert threshold uses the combined reward with recent available-funds reports.
• Carried gold is checked against outstanding commitments. The board shows Funds reported available, Insufficient funds or Funds status unknown; these reports cannot guarantee payment.
• Each contribution has one winner, chosen by its poster after reviewing claims. Approved debts remain in the ledger after expiry; payments are recorded manually.
• Works with Highground and Highground Nearby within the realm/faction chat boundary. A saved contributor ID deduplicates ordinary account use, but is not a verified Blizzard identity.

👀 Nearby enemies

• An open-world list of hostile players you have seen, most recent first, with level, guild and zone.
• Left-click targets, right-click focuses. Bounty targets get a gold frame.
• Stealth alerts: a chat line when a nearby enemy uses Stealth, Prowl, Vanish, Invisibility, Shadowmeld or Camouflage, and when it fades.
• Enemy history: every enemy you meet is remembered, with kills both ways. Someone you met before gets a chat line and met 3x K1 D2 on their row. /hgb nearby forget wipes it.
• /hgb journal searches encounters and lets you add notes or mute an enemy's alerts. (new)
• Alert controls (new): /hgb alerts offers presets and separate text and sound controls by category.

🎨 Themes

• Clearer text and focus indicators, labelled status chips, adjustable text size and Reduced motion. Buttons, menus and windows animate; Reduced motion keeps tactical cues steady and transitions instant. (new)
• Highground (cool slate and teal), Ember (charcoal and copper), Parchment (muted linen and pine) or Azeroth (new) (obsidian, antique gold and Warcraft titles): /hgb theme NAME.

Supported game versions

Getting started

• Keep both included folders installed and enabled: HighgroundBounties and HighgroundBountyData, which preserves shared contributions and account IDs. Restart the game after installation or updates.
• Type /hgb to open the bounty board, /hgb config for settings and /hgb help for every command.
• Already using Highground? It has bounties built in (/hg bounty). Install Highground Bounties on its own if you only want the bounties.
• Highground Nearby stays inactive while Bounties is loaded, because Bounties includes the nearby list.
