Guild Wars 2

Can you guest and activate a bounty on the guested server and achieve points/influence? I tried looking for this answer but can’t find. I was guesting on a server and was curious so I tried activating a training bounty and found the NPC. I went to her to activate and she did not change to aggressive.

Yes I have permissions.
Yes I was in the time frame.
Yes it was the right bounty target, with no special activation rules etc.

If it is researched on the server you are guesting to you can activate the bounty. You have to activate the bounty on the server the bounty mission was started on.

Ah this makes sense.. So even though I have those opened on my server and have influence, I’m actually at 0 influence / 0 upgrades on the guested server just like transferring..

I did activate the bounty on the guest server, but seems that it doesn’t recognize it because technically I have no tiers opened there. Well at least it was only a training bounty, that was why I wanted to test it. But it makes sense, even if it would be cool to go to other servers and get help with bounty’s on more populated servers.

Actually it would have been better if it was one of the normal bounties. :P
Those only cost 200 Influence. The bounty training cost 300.

Since you’ll want to organize things before activating the bounty why not get the helpers to guest on your server instead? 5 people is enough for many of the targets(main problem is the searching) so you don’t really need a highly populated server. It is even easier if you only want the commendations since you can use a tier 3 and pick the easiest target.
