Game of Thrones Kingsroad bounty locations are distributed across the primary regions of Westeros, featuring clusters of three to six wanted targets per area. Tracking down these wanted criminals provides Specialization Points, which are required to upgrade weapon attack power, attack speed, and specific skill traits. Whether you choose to execute a fugitive or let them flee, both decisions yield the exact same rewards.
How to Find and Track Wanted Posters
Bounty hunting in Game of Thrones: Kingsroad begins by locating wanted posters scattered throughout the wilderness, towns, and strongholds. These posters do not appear automatically across your global map; an icon only surfaces on your mini-map when your character is physically close to the poster.
Once you approach and interact with a poster, the target's details are permanently archived in your regional journal. This allows you to track the bounty at any time without needing to revisit the original notice board.
When you activate a bounty hunt from your regional journal:
- The in-game map marks a designated search area indicating the criminal's rough whereabouts.
- In introductory bounties, reaching the marked location immediately reveals the target.
- For advanced bounties, you must inspect local clues across several steps to force the target out of hiding.
- Upon confronting the target, dialogue allows you to either kill them or let them escape. You receive the exact same completion rewards regardless of the moral path chosen.
Completing these hunts acts as the primary source for Specialization Points. Across the base game's bounty roster, players can acquire a total of 52 Specialization Points to invest into the dual-weapon combat system.

Casterly Rock Bounty Additions
In the September 30 update, official patch notes confirmed the addition of three bounties and a Besieged Site to Casterly Rock. While the specific names and crime sheets of the three Casterly Rock targets have not been documented in available database indexes, they follow the same poster discovery and regional journal mechanics present in the North and Reach regions.
How Weapon Specialization Uses Bounty Rewards
Game of Thrones: Kingsroad features a weapon-swapping combat system that lets players swap between two equipped weapons during active combat. The Weapon Specialization system builds directly upon this setup.
Investing your 52 bounty-earned Specialization Points unlocks the following character enhancements:
- Flat increases to weapon attack power.
- Attack speed modifiers to quicken combo pacing and reaction windows.
- Unique modifier effects attached directly to class skills, augmenting crowd control, survivability, or burst damage.
Because bounties offer a fixed pool of points, completing all notices across every region is necessary to fully upgrade your class build.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does sparing a wanted criminal reduce your rewards?
No. Certain targets claim to have been framed or offer surrender terms. You can either execute them or let them flee; both choices deliver identical rewards and progress toward your regional journal.
Why are bounty posters missing from the world map?
Wanted posters do not show on the world map from a distance. A poster icon only registers on your map when your character travels within close physical range. Interacting with the poster permanently saves it to your regional journal for later completion.
How many Specialization Points can you earn from bounties?
The initial bounty system across Westeros provides a total of 52 Specialization Points to spend on weapon stats and skill perks.
