Yeah, what happened to her? She sounded pretty emotional in that one farewell speech.
Time to replace bar?

Her baby daddy got caught with his powdered white nose in the nanny- guess that might make even the most insensitive cow get a bit emotional?
I'd be happy to rid of the wench/witch.
Time for a new sprocket for sure.
I would definitely replace the bar tip. However you should also clean and inspect the bar grooves closely. Any chips or cracks and it should also be replaced. File off any burrs, check the sides for flatness against a flat surface, you can hammer back any imperfections. Finally check that the groove is not too shallow. Does your new chain bottom out and feel loose at all. If so bin the whole bar and replace the lot. Bars/sprockets and chains are wear items and are designed to wear together and be replaced together.

Grease tip both sides every 6 hours when you do.
Bar may be shot but that tip and sprocket most definitely are.
Tip replace isn't hard but you need the proper tools to do it.
If you don't have the tools just replace the whole bar. Keep the old and replace that tip once you know how to do it.
Post in the "want to buy" section for a good used bar...or, just get one locally to you.

There's nothing wrong with that sprocket...
Not sure why everyone thinks it's bad. The wear is normal, it can take a lot more before causing problems.
