What Are Bounties in PoE 2 Second Wind?

Bounties are optional, community-driven challenges in Second Wind, rewarding niche feats—humorous memes, off-meta builds, or rare drops—with prizes funded by organizers and players. Unlike ladder races, they emphasize experimentation over speed, fitting the league's relaxed vibe.

Bounty Element

Description

Examples

Types

Niche, funny, tough

Find Mirror of Kalandra; kill lvl 81 boss

Prizes

Steam vouchers ($30+)

$67 for Mirror; $200 for high-level kill

Status

Active/Claimed

Tracked in Discord thread

Application Analysis 1: Solo a "Mirror Mirror" bounty by farming corrupted areas early—pair with essence nodes for affix luck.

Application Analysis 2: Group up via global 2426 chat for boss-kill bounties, splitting loot risks.

Expert Insight: While bounties encourage fun, a hidden risk lurks in oversaturated popular ones like rare drops—rushed farms spike death rates in unoptimized builds, bricking progression. Optimal path: Parallel multiple characters for bounty diversification, merging winners to main league later.

Joining Second Wind and the Bounty Ecosystem

Access starts with league entry, unlocking Discord's bounty hub. No fees, just auto-accept the invite; characters persist post-league in Fate of the Vaal trade ladder.

Application: New exiles queue early to snag first-join bounties, as seen in Guitaraholic's video proof.

Expert Insight: Queue delays risk missing launch-day exclusives; prime path—pre-join Discord 24 hours ahead, alt-tab ready at 12 PM EST Jan 9.

Creating Custom Bounties

Players fuel the system by proposing challenges. DM admins (@Lolcohol, @DEADRABB1T, @TalkativeTri, @Guitaraholic) with details: task, proof method, prize (Steam vouchers ideal).

Steps to Create a Custom Bounty

  1. DM Admin: Send "BOUNTY: [Name] - [Desc] - [Prize]" and include screenshot proof specs.

  2. Await Approval: Stream/DM nudge if delayed; reference Mirror example.

  3. Goes Live: Once posted to the active list, promote it in global 2426.

Application: Sponsor a $50 "Meme Build Level 90" for laughs, drawing streamers.

Expert Insight: Custom bounties amplify hype but risk low completion if too vague—optimal: Tie to fresh economy events like first Divine Orb flood.

Claiming Bounties: The Verification Process

Post evidence to bounty-claims: title with bounty name, IGN, screenshot/video (YouTube/imgur).

Evidence Requirements

  • Screenshot: Must show the item + league name in the top-right to prove Second Wind context.

  • Video: Required for actions like boss kills as irrefutable motion proof.

  • IGN: Exact in-game name is essential for admin payout match.

Admins verify, cross off the active list, and DM for the prize.

Application 1: For inventory bounties, use a macro-toggle to keep the league UI visible.

Application 2: Upload videos instantly post-kill to beat rivals.

Expert Insight: Claims can backlog during peaks; risk—evidence rejection from poor lighting or missing UI elements. Optimal: Pre-test uploads and watermark your IGN.

Pro Strategies for Bounty Domination

Prioritize low-competition niches early. MMOJUGG veterans note alt-currency hoarding hedges economy crashes for sustained hunts.

Priority Tiers for Bounty Hunting

  • High Priority: First drops (Divine/Chaos) using Speed-leechers builds.

  • Med Priority: Boss kills using Tanky minion setups.

  • Low Priority: Meme feats for off-meta fun.

Application: Chain atlas biomes for unique-spawn bounties; party up for shared proof.

Expert Insight: Over-reliance on solos exposes you to RNG droughts—risk mitigated by rotating 3-5 alts, funneling gear via trade.

PoE 2 Second Wind Private League Bounties FAQs

How do I join the Second Wind Private League?

Simply visit the official join link and accept the invite—no cost, instant for most. Head to Discord.gg/VcMBGBjMbB next for bounties. Verify roles to unlock channels. Launch: Jan 9, 12 PM EST.

What evidence is required to claim a bounty?

Screenshots must show the feat (e.g., item in inventory) plus Second Wind league name top-right. Videos are required for dynamic proofs like kills, uploaded to YouTube. Always include your IGN. Clear, unedited files speed verification.

Can players create their own custom bounties?

Yes—DM admins (@Lolcohol, etc.) with full details: name, description, proof specs, and prize (Steam vouchers recommended). They'll approve and list it. Stream mentions boost visibility.

What types of prizes can be won?

Primarily Steam vouchers ($30-$200+), sponsored by leads, Mobalytics, and the community. Regional delivery follows post-verification. Focus on fun over grind.

How are bounty claims verified and prizes distributed?

Post to bounty-claims; admins cross-check evidence against rules, update active-bounties, then DM you for payout. Expect quick turnaround outside peak times.

Does partying affect bounty eligibility?

Fully supported—no loot or size limits. Coordinate via global 2426; just ensure proof captures your IGN/league. Great for tackling tough challenges.
