# Bounties
### **Summary**
Bounties add variety to your daily gameplay in Pirate Nation! With Bounties, you can put your pirates to use even when you're not actively playing. And the best part is that you don't even need to use energy to participate!
### How Bounties Work
Bounties have a duration of 11 hours once begun, although a few take longer, some up to 6 days. Each Bounty rewards you with a basic resource of your choosing, along with a potential bonus reward if you meet the right conditions.
Bounties have a base reward tier and 3 'bonus tiers'. The bonus tiers are at 5, 10 and 20 Pirates.
Once you undertake a Bounty, your allocated pirates will be locked until you complete it.
### Founder's Bounties
Keep an eye out for the golden crossbones on the right side for Bounties that are exclusive to Founder's Pirate holders.
### Claiming Your Rewards
Completing a Bounty will earn you payouts, which you must claim to receive. Note that if any of your pirates are transferred while on Bounty you won't be able to claim your payout, so sit tight!
