Questions about Bonus/Masters

I started off getting into Guild Wars Last November, when Nightfall came out.
But since then I bought all 3 campains.
Im completely done when Nightfall, and now I've moved onto the other ones.
I went through about first 16 missions in Prophecies but I see that I only have the bonus or whatever in one, I think becuase there is 2 swords through the icon. Does that mean I got the bonus, is there masters in Prophecies with a sword or somthing running up/down through the icon?

My next question is can I go back through those 16 Missions I have done and just do the bonus's and then /resign or do you have to complete the mission in order for it to count. This is different as I am used to Nightfall where you get all that at the end of the mission and it explains the bonus better why'll still in the mission.

Also do you get anything else for doing the Bonus's like another skill point, or more exp or gold?

Thanks everyone for making this a fun and friendly community.

When you get 2 sword in the icon you have done the primary and te bonus objective and yes you can just do the bonus and /resign.

for prophecies you can go back and do the bonus. Resigning or bailing out before the mission is over when other players are expecting a full group to finish the mission/bonus is not right. Make sure the group you are with knows you are in it for the bonus only.

Not sure but for Factions was never able to go back and 'redo' the mission and get the Masters for it if I didnt get it right the first time, not at least so far and I think the same goes for Nightfall as well. Not sure though as I havent had a chance to go back for the missed masters on it yet and see if I could 'redo'.

Prophecies is different in that you don't have to finish the mission to get the bonus. You also don't get skill points, but will get 1000 XP. But, yeah, DON'T BAIL if you're in a group that isn't just after the bonus.

You can easily go back and redo any mission for masters/bonus on any conitenent, including factions. I've never had a problem.

Bonuses in Prophecies give 1,000 XP and 1 skill point. You don't have to finish the missions (except a couple) to get the bonus. Once you are awarded the bonus (Shield with sword going from upper right to lower left will appear on your screen when it's complete), you can leave, but not when you're in a group, that's just uncool.

Thanks everyone, I planned on running these with just my heros and henchman, so I diffently wouldn't leave a group like that.
