Bounty hunter legendary missions guide for this month's bonus

As you may have seen, legendary and infamous bounties are playing out 3× gold, xp, and $ this month.

This guide focuses on gold.

There exists a golden rule of 12 mins per mission when it comes to normal bounties, because 12 mins pays 0.32 gold = 1.6 gold per hour. The maximum payout is for 30 mins which gives 0.48 gold = 0.96 gold per hour. It is clearly more efficient to spend 12 mins per normal bounty mission. Anything more is diminishing returns.

However, things change when it comes to legendary bounties. Legendary bounties have a real life 48 minute cooldown. That means if you do a 12 minute mission, it will take you 60 mins for one cycle (12 mins mission time + 48 minutes cooldown). Given the 3× gold payout this month, that's 0.96 gold per hour (0.32 gold × 3).

If you do 30 minute missions, one cycle will take you 78 mins (30 mins mission time + 48 minutes cooldown). Given the 3× gold payout this month, that's 1.44 gold (0.48 gold × 3) in 78 mins = 1.1077 gold per hour (1.44 × (60/78)).

For legendary bounties, it is therefore more efficient to grind 30 minute missions for the extra 0.1477 gold per hour. This also applies to when there is no bonus, but the extra gold per hour will only be 0.0492.

The info is there! Up to you now to decide!

Good luck hunting :)
