General Questions about Bounties, Reusable parts and Forgotten Souls.

[Flebar]

Hi, I'm relatively new to this, currently using a U6 monk speed rifting T8 and grinding Grift 50s.

So as I said I've been rifting alot and have encountered a few problems

• 
  Deaths breath and reusable parts are collected in wildly different rates, with reusable parts falling behind. (Assuming they are used for cubing).
  
  
• Forgotten Souls are collected incredibly quickly, but the quantity seems to have no realistic use.
  
  
• Bounty runs are unreliable, slow and just not worth it.
  

The first point is just as it seems, anyone have any solution to get reusable parts up? I found one old profile that farms white mats, but it doesn't work in this patch.
The first point also assumes that primary deaths breath usage comes from cubing Rares->Legendaries.

My second and third points both centeres around the same problem: Bounty mats are difficult to get, while Forgotten Souls come in by boatloads.
As I previously mentioned I am relatively new to this, and I don't want to bash adventurer, because its an awesome plugin and Taras Bulba is really an awesome dude for constructing it.
The problem still remains that the bounty profile is downright dreadful. Using my speedrun profile (U6 in-geom monk) i collected about 30 of every mat in the span of 8 hours, which is just unviable.

Lastly comes my questions. Is it something big I'm missing here, is the bounty profile really this awful, is there a good way to get reusable parts, is there a way to use all these forgotten souls without manually grinding bounties?

Thanks for reading.

You'll burn through those souls REALLY quickly if you start rerolling legendaries (50 souls per reroll). I've also had to reroll items hundrends of times (1 soul per reroul) to get the correct stat.

As for the bounties, I'd suggest leveling up a WD and using the chicken farming build. You should definitely be doing way better than 30 of each matt in 8 hours. I'd expect closer to 80.

For reuseable parts, there's an option in trinity to open weapon racks and normal chests that is turned off by default. If you check these on you'll find yourself picking up way more white mats.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, for replying, the reusable parts thing seems like it might be the solution I've been searching for!
Although 80 mats for 8 hours is still painfully slow, but I guess that's the only option. I just made a WD, the problem is I can't get my set items (with new chars I do this with deaths breath) since my reusable parts are depleted.
Ill grind a bit and see if the bounties improve, although they would need to improve dramatically for it to be really worth it.

When I run bounties it's typically when I'm at the computer and I can baby sit it. It speeds it up considerably, that being said you are soloing bounties. You have to do 25 bounties to get 8 of each matt. 80 matts is 250 bounties. 250 bounties in 8 hours (480 minutes) is less than 2 minutes a bounty so actually my estimate of 80 mats is probably on the high side. You'd be lucky to beat that playing manually solo without a speed build built specifically for the task.

There IS a profile on these forums that let's you do bounties in public games which would theoretically speed up your bounties x4 (3 other players). Some people used it with great success during the double bounty weekend but it obviously comes at a higher risk.

Damn ofcourse, thats why it's so extremely slow. Actually didnt account for that. Maybe bounties just isnt for botting.

There's options in Trinity for what containers you want to open, select everything and it should be less of an issue. If it's still an issue there's the cube recipe "Anger of Iben Fahd" that lets you convert 100 Veiled Crystals into 100 parts for only 1 DB.

There's a lot of variables to Bounties, they can't be the easiest to make and are used for a relatively short period of time by most people. Even if they ran flawlessly they'd still be significantly slower then running them manually as there's only one in the party.

Your rates are not that bad, if you need bulk you might want to run them manually.

I always have a surplus of at least 10k Forgotten Souls, nothing to spend them on because manually running Bounties would make me self harm and it's not efficient to use DB for Bounties (for me at least).

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Jesus fucking CHRIST! THIS! You don't know how much this helps, you made my day man! I've got 0 parts, 2k deaths breath and about 20k crystals, this is a game changer

No problem, if you even plan to farm a bunch of Keywardens you get a bunch also, got like 20k parts from Keywardens myself.
