It still will cost the setter the amount it show when it says "this will be the first,second,etc,bounty on so and so,doesn't it?? That is what it would cost the player setting anyone.
From the Help section::
Bounties
Put a price on a rivals head to sit back and watch the Bounty-hungry hoards take them down for you!
Taking down Bounties is an excellent way to earn Gold and XP, but watch out! A high bounty usually means a powerful Pirate, and they are known to hold grudges.
The base cost of a Bounty is determined by a Pirate's total income, but it can grow higher depending on a number of factors, including:
- level
- income of the person setting the bounty
- the number of recent aggressive actions between you, and
- the number of times the target has been recently bountied
You can see your base Bounty cost under the User tab on your profile page.
"""""The amount paid to place a bounty will be slightly higher than the amount earned by the person who successfully feeds your target to the fishes, due to "facilitator's fees.""""""
Not sure if this helps the question you are wondering about.
