help on the 12 min method

[obsidian shoal]

so I have read through this in the faq and guides but i'm having trouble understanding something as it says "in at the closest 3-minute interval mark. This is the rate at which gold increases. For example, if your timer is at 8 minutes, but your in-game timer only has 2 minutes left, you won't be able to turn in at the 12-minute mark. Instead, turn in at 9 minutes (which is a multiple of 3)" but what i'm struggling to understand is that if i set a timer for 12 minutes which means the time is going down when my timer hits 8 and theres only 2 minutes in game time should i let one minute pass then turn it in? ( sorry if this is confusing i'm just having some trouble understanding what it means anymore elaboration on this would be much appreciated

[shrewd fable]

yes, if 8 minutes passed and you only have 2 minutes left to finish the bounty, turn it in after 1 more minute passes

[obsidian shoal]

okay thank you for the clarification

[spring bloom]

well to make it easy to understand : Every 3 minutes for first 12 minutes you get 0.08 gold . So if you complete bounty in 3.01 minutes you get 0.08 gold but you get same if you complete in 5 min 59 sec. After 12 minutes the gold reward is lowered : can check the attachement

the optimal timers to complete would be either 6 min and few seconds, 9 min and few seconds or 12 min and few seconds. to maximize gold

[shrewd fable]

they did say they've already read through that

[obsidian shoal]

so does this go for all missions that pay out like blood money etc

[spring bloom]

yes everything that reward gold ingame except call to arms

that include pvp events and free roam missions

[spring bloom]

some activities got doubled gold reward every month to you can check !newswire

[obsidian shoal]

right so lets say i start a coach recovery mission that i'm pretty sure is a free roam mission i think as soon as i can start to move my character i start a timer for 12 mins, when the timer gets to 9 gold dreword would be 0.08, then it gets to 6 and it will be 0.16 then to 3 it'll be 0.24 and after 12 mins it will get to 0.32 then start to decrease after?

[spring bloom]

yes

like there are some missions where you can even afk, like mail delivery from strawberry: you pick bag, do first delivery than go afk, and after timer pass out you automaticly get the reward of 0.36

also some free roam events where you can just join and go afk like wildfire photo or how is callled

[obsidian shoal]

so i want to finish the mission when there's around 2min 50 left on my timer if able?

[spring bloom]

yes

even 2.59

just to be under 3

[obsidian shoal]

so just as soon as it goes past 3

[spring bloom]

ye

[obsidian shoal]

and that goes for all missions that pay out gold

[spring bloom]

yes, except call to arms telegrams

wich are best gold ingame atm

[obsidian shoal]

but if it doesn't allow for enough time do it at 3 i do it any time after 6 so 5:59

is call to arms hard as i'm only a low level so dont wanna be disturbing people and ruining it yk

[spring bloom]

yes is quite hard, but you can complete 3 rounds on your own in arround 3 minutes, die restart mission , and you will get 0.6 gold in 10 min so about 3.6 gold /hour by doing this method

[obsidian shoal]

and whats a good and easy telegram missions to do as i tried one where you have to capture to people but kept on dying

[spring bloom]

like finish 3 rounds wait for round 4 to start, suicide, and click restart

i try to search some video as a guy called lun_attic made a full video guide every month how to ez farm gold

just give me 3 min to find it 🙂

[obsidian shoal]

alright thanks mate

[spring bloom]

sry can't really find it atm 🙂

here is a video how to do valentine call to arms , quite safe as low level : https://youtu.be/iAryZHQp-do

[obsidian shoal]

one long video

[spring bloom]

can apply the 3 rounds-die -restart and that roof method

just check the spot where i stay there

in any point of video i made it with lvl 3 character

is on top of stable roof

no need to watch all is boring 😄

just a safe spot to farm call to arms solo

[obsidian shoal]

where do i start cta and can i js get up there and stay there?

[spring bloom]

ye, in valentine map, is reccomanded to go pick ammo betwen rounds too

press l -telegrams call to arms -valentine, go that spot and skip prep, is that ez

[obsidian shoal]

so i just die and restart on wave 3?

[spring bloom]

no

after wave 3, at the start of wave 4

you finish 3 waves

[obsidian shoal]

ohh so die and restart on wave 4?

[spring bloom]

yes

and you get 0.6 gold for completing 3 waves

should not take more than 10 min for 3 waves

[obsidian shoal]

do i abonden mission or replay?

[obsidian shoal]

@spring bloom

[spring bloom]

replay

[obsidian shoal]

it takes me a little longer then 10 mins to do it

[spring bloom]

will be faster, once you get used

[obsidian shoal]

thank you for the advice, after a few hours i now nearly have enough for the bounty hunter role, going into free roam to do a free roam mission just to get me the last small bit of gold, i started using a horse and the double barrel shotgun to get it doen quicker and it worked

[spring bloom]

yw, things will get much easier once you get to lvl 50 and get a carcano rifle

also if you haven;t maxed out life, you should do it in call to arms > get a bow and kill with bow, boxes should refill arrows betwen rounds

[obsidian shoal]

what's this mean

[spring bloom]

like the life circle

if is not full

you can do kills with bow, to make it max

[obsidian shoal]

ohh the health?
