Someone tell me why we all do our BHIII immediately instead of saving till next run?

Seems damned stupid to me, the BHIII saves and you can still get the next days BHI regardless of which BHIII you have. Seems stupid to rerun the whole instance (79 in my case) just to kill the last boss when you can just save the quest and get him the next run without wasting 15 minutes to get back there. Zero out of 100 people agree with me though, so someone please tell me if i'm wrong.

    The reason I do the full bh is cause all my bosses are usually in the same instance, 79 in my case too. We're already in the instance, have wined/cleared it already, why not just kill all the bosses when we need them all anyways? What's 15 min going back in? There is always the possibility of getting the same chain the next day so if you save bh III, you'd be losing the next day's bh III cause you can't have the same boss for the same bh (eg. two brigand bh III).

    You break the chain by either....
    already having the same boss for the same bh (I, II or III)
    or
    you've already killed the boss that day whether for bh or not doesn't matter

    You can have as many bh's as long as there are no repeats :P I know somebody who's had 6 runningb:surrender

    about 100 hours a year, which is why i'm not doing my III's when i pick them up. Honestly wasnt too thrilled I was already spending 2 hours a day on dailies, BH takes it to 3 now and that 15 minutes will add up.

    Not to mention is costs 10k to tele back into the instance, so it actually saves about 3mil coin a year as well.

    Whenever I do BH it's because I have 1, 2, AND 3 in my quest log. Yes it is pointless running back to the headhunter after doing the first boss etc. Plus if you have all 3 at once it doesn't matter what oder you do them in and that way you can sit back and observe as your squad squabbles about how they have to do Rankar before Fushma while another 2 need Fushma first, blah blah blah.

    if you dont turn in the I's, you miss the II's and III's no?

    Or can you still get the previous days II' and III's?

    I'm not entirely sure. I sometimes end up with two I's and one II. As long as you accept two, then just wait a day and accept the daily. It's fun cashing in on all 3 at once and not caring in what order your squad wants to do the bosses.

    as long as they are different chains from different days , you can have multiple step 1, 2 or 3

    the problem is =

    You cant activate 2 step 2 or 3 on the same day (even if they are from different chains, from different days..GM, why is that ??? )



    so basically what you need do is =

    Day 1 pick step 1 , do it, get step 2

    Day 2 pick step 1, do step 1 from day2 ans step 2 from day 1, get following steps

    Day 3, get step 1, do the 3 steps in the same run , you ll get step 2 and 3 for following day)

    day 4 continues from day 3, rince and repeat
    I look at all the trollers, and Pvpers.. and know they wouldnt have lasted 30sec on Camelot.

    Hummmm

    what is a good squad ?

    - One that is organised and knows before hand what they will have to do, do it and be over with it in less than 30 minutes ? (ie= Today we need pyro (step3), Nob (step1), pole (step2..so go kill those F ... in the natural order and get out)

    Cost = wine + 1 tp in (illusionary stone)

    or

    - One that takes hours to make a BH complete? (ie = So we need to begin with nob, but dont kill pole, everybody goes out, and comes back at the speed of snail, so now we can go do pyro... and go out again..... hee ppl we need to go back for pole .... ) If everyone used Tp Stone / Illusionary stone that could be quick.. thats not the case

    Cost = wine + 2 TP stones + 3 illusionary stones or wine + 1hr and more

    ^^

    I agree with this question... It's quite easy to stack at least 3-4 BHs.

    And if you really wanna do it in some optimized way, and provided you play alts too and you have the account stash, there is an easy way to stack them.

    Just do stack BH for the first char like Reivi said, and then keep stacking them but adding your alts to the pool; if you can't get the matching BH cause you already have it, put the order(s) in your supply stash, switch on alt, and give it to him/her, and go on until you have a suiitable amount of BHs on one of your char's quest list. Let's say 3 for BH29 (ie max), 5+ fo BH39+. Remember that you can get up to 3 times the same boss in you list.

    I do usually a BH run every 2 days (including all my played chars) and usually stack from 6 to 9 BHs before I do a run. I sometimes waste an order (let's say one every 3 run) but I save a lot of money and time this way.

    That's because alot of people are impatient about gaining exp and leveling so they find it necessary to talk to the Head Hunter to obtain all the quests for that daily bh chain, and in the process they waste alot of coins for teleporting and using the illusion stone. For bh 79, you'll be wasting on average 40k using the illusion stone and teleporting back to arch each time. Not alot of people are good at math and don't understand how much coins they are losing, and nor do they want to understand the logic of efficiency. This is comparative to how people are in debt irl and don't know how to save money. In addition, you have players that have different levels of maturity in the game :)

    this is a perfect way to do it
    my point was its annoying when your in a squad wanting to do endless different versions of boss orders

    its annoying enough finding a squad of 6 people for the same lvl let alone finding one that just wants to do the 3 mobs given out THAT day
