I don’t know if it’s already known but I just found out that after u get a task from mysterious stranger, u can start and instantly quit a bounty hunt 3 times and then you get him that run for sure again.
The rotation of mystery slots is probably always the same.
Hope it will save you all some time.
sorry for your lost time if it’s already known 😀
I mean it works alright, but I thought this was all procedurally generated. That would SEEM to suggest that it;s random, but apprently only to a small degree. Kinda disappointing, cause it means that long term the game will get stale if things are too set in stone like this.
I;d rather have it be truly random with a pity timer then whatever system this is if it is this predictable.
Still going to use the trick though, if only cause it means I can just load up on Tasks quickly and then do more lucrative bounties to complete the Tasks.

Interesting. Doesn't really affect me, honestly - my current grinding is avalanchion for levelling and Rag coins, and Emperor for Diablo (both single bounties that give them). Feels more important to get those coins to craft, at least initially. I suspect I'll have a glut of coins afterwards!
Shoddy design, though. Not the first shoddy design in the mode to have come to light!
Interesting Q - does it still hold if you do any fights in the middle two?
Do you get coins for instantly quitting? Because what I've been doing is the heroic air elementals, going up to the secret, then quitting if its not mysterious stranger. It's been lucrative since quitting a run gives you fewer coins, but they're truly random coins (I've been maxed on the Roams and Rokara from doing full runs since it took me awhile before I realized you could just do this).

In my experience, Retiring air elemental (or any heroic barrens bounty) will never give you truly random coins. It gives only random coins for RARE heroes.
I had to make link my twitch and really get on here to question this post.
I doing the farm and resetting and running up to the quest and hoping to hit the stranger; I seen this post and thought it would be efficient and certainly speed up the process overall.
That being said, I went ahead got to the Stranger then instantly quit after getting the quest. Started a new bounty, quit instantly - 3 Times and on the 4th go went in and first quest I got was the Sabotage.
I wanted to clarify you repeated the same process or you quit after getting the task from the stranger and joined instant quit for a total of 3 quits and then ran to the next quest for the guaranteed stranger.

I've beaten Emperor on my first try. Now i've got the Quest, where i have to beat him and since then i simply can't beat him anymore. What's the best comp for him?
Start Hunt. Go to mystery point. get task from stranger. Complete hunt. Start and quit hunt 3 times. Go to mystery point and get task from stranger. Complete hunt and so on. Worked the past 20-30 runs (always got stranger)
I did the same but didn't even complete hunt (quit after getting stranger then started and retired immediately 3 more times). I got 5 strangers in a row as well, thanks for the tip!

As i said yesterday, i was really skeptical that this would work. But i did as follows: - Party of 4 mercenaries (so i increase the chance to get the task to the mercs i want)
- Start Air Elemental Bounties until i get the mystery point with the stranger.
After i got my first stranger i instantly retired (after accepting the task), joined and retired 3 more times. It worked 90% of the time. Keep in mind that the cycle should look like this:
1 - Do all the encounters until the stranger, accept task retire.

3 - Start bounty retire
4 - Start bounty retire
5 - Do all the encounters until the stranger, accept task retire.
Now you repeat.
It's five and repeat? So two accept tasks with three in between? Because that's what you're saying here.

Still working on that. Cariel/Xyr/Samuro/fat in the back works more than not, but still a bit unreliable - can lose to the wrong boon, or bad attack RNG on trash, or bad treasures. Someone suggested treble casters, and fat in the back to clear up.

Ah and I’m doing barrens apothecary helbrim heroic over and over again.
It works, thanks for the tip. I use the air elemental bounty instead of apothecary tho.
I can;t believe this works.
I mean it works alright, but I thought this was all procedurally generated. That would SEEM to suggest that it;s random, but apprently only to a small degree. Kinda disappointing, cause it means that long term the game will get stale if things are too set in stone like this.

Nah, no coins for insta-quit. Probably tied to how much you've done?
The thing is, I've noticed no significant difference in number of coins between quitting/losing right at boss and doing so after 1 trash pack.
You get coins based on how many minions have been cleared in a run.
In my experience, Retiring air elemental (or any heroic barrens bounty) will never give you truly random coins. It gives only random coins for RARE heroes.
Alright,
I had to make link my twitch and really get on here to question this post.

Same, just getting Sabotage.
