    I find the farming Whispering Caverns a little faster. We can do 2-3 runs during the same time for the SH to run once. I manage to get 3-7 Bounties a run....more when the merchants decides to take the long route. It's a short run back to the start and ya have to wait like another 20 seconds before ya can start again. I do alternate between Whisper and the SH for change of scenerie. It's a close tossup as to which is better.

    At the moment I've open'd up 700 Bounties and given away 130 Hospitality's o:)

    Great info, but I'm pretty sure someone has to have the quest to start the one in Whispering Caverns. You can't just stand there and make it start. So, if people aren't chain running it, there could be slow downs. The quest is once per day per character..I'm sure it's not having many pauses, but I just prefer the guild one as you don't have to wait around much.

    I have been running the Stronghold run with my guild (family). Four of us do the run with one using the scroll and then another will use it next. We did it four times today, about 4 or 6 runs each time. It's fast and relatively painless and we averaged 8 to 12 Bounties each on each run. Out of the Bounties, we got a bunch of Stronghold vouchers, a plethora of useless Zen Store & Jubilee Coupons, more ham and lunchboxes than we can ever eat LOL. On average two or three Hospitalities popped up per player every other run. I was able to go from 8 to 14 Figurines today alone.

    Very awesome Merilee! Yea, the runs are super fast. Can farm a great deal of bounties in a short time frame. I've heard rumors of the Thrones dropping from them, but I think that's a silly joke. I know they can drop from the Skirmish though. The Zen coupons aren't too useless. Can make some decent AD if ya play the market.

    Blacklake, Ebon Downs and Whispering Caverns all respawn as soon as the merchant makes it to the end or dies.

    Also a quick tip if you're doing the stronghold with a small guild or alone, Paladins can heal and cast Absolution (shield) on the merchant.

    Addition: Also something I've noticed, the scrolls that drop that aim you to the stronghold escort quest can be completed by going to any zone's merchant. I got stuck in an infinite loop of opening a box, getting the quest only to get the quest again from the reward box.

    Bound Coal wards and pres wards drop from the bounties at the highest tier. That and some of the zen/tradebar coupons are the primary reason to bother with it.

    You don't need the quest for Whispering Caverns. Roughly 1 minute after the round was finish'd, anyone can start it. Someone with the quest can start it earlier.

    Hmmm, that's what everyone is saying.. but when I was testing stuff it wouldn't let me start it. It kept saying to go away he was busy. For more than 1min+ - then someone with the quest came and it started.. so I just assumed.
