>I also remember a NIR post stating 30 kills was the max to find an heirloom or spawn a grizzled, hmm.

During the beta testing of the Adventurer's Guild, I asked players who went above 30 kills to report their task so that I could look into whether there was a problem or whether they were just having bad luck. 30 is not a hard limit, but one where the odds are fairly low (but not zero) of reaching.

Subject: Bounty System Updates

The following updates have been made to the bounty system:

• Group task support has been added to the following tasks: Kill Creatures, Retrieve Heirloom, Kill Dangerous Creature, and Rescue Child.

Group tasks for the bounty system operate in a somewhat similar fashion to the Guardians of Sunfist group task system, wherein a person who receives a suitable task from the taskmaster may sign up additional helpers to assist with a portion of the task. Any helpers must be within -5/+10 levels of the person who originally received the task and cannot have been signed up for another group task within the last fifteen minutes or currently have a bounty task active. A maximum of 3 helpers may be signed up for any one task and the helpers can only complete the task while the person who signed them up is present.

• An additional task has been added: Kill Bandits. This task also has group task support.

• Bandits generated for the Protect Traveller task will now spawn more often and generally be more dangerous overall, with new tactics and new abilities. We intend to closely monitor the difficulty of this task and adjust it, should it be necessary. Any feedback on the changes are welcome.

• The Ta'Vaalor guild will now assign Old Ta'Faendryl tasks.

• The Pinefar Trading Post has been added as an additional optional drop off point for rescued children.

>What's the rationale for the range in which you can add someone to your task being -5 to +10? Why isn't it -10 to +10? Just doesn't seem to make much sense.

You're right, that is a bug. The correct range of helpers should be 10 levels under the main task holder to five levels over (the opposite of what it was until now). This should now be fixed.

Subject: Bandits Update

I've updated the bandits to use an engagement system similar to the Grimswarm, where they will ignore targets significantly lower in level (~10 levels) unless attacked first, as opposed to previously only shouting a warning before attacking lower level targets.
