Zujg's Bonus Bounties Table
Bonus bounties award extra materials - doing them all in a specific order is something players often do, and bonus bounty cycle changes every hour.
To help players with that Zujg's has calculated and put together a table to easily check which are the current bonus bounties, and which ones will be in the next "rotation". DFans user leech told us about this tool, and provided an explanation on how to use the table - check it out below.
The document is actually perfect for timing your bounties and your needed acts. Let us say you need Act1 bounties and only have an hour to farm, you just come back online at the exact time where the bonus is active!
On the left side you see 2 rows with colors indicating "up to certain time" and the one below "is the next hour"
This means, if you have a cycle of 5 3 2 1 4 in the "up to certain time" row then you know that if you ENTER a game, bounty bonus ALWAYS starts with ACT 5 and ENDS with ACT 4, but the next hour (which is one row below) indicates the NEXT hour cycle which is completely different in terms of bonus act order.

If I only have an hour to farm how do I come back later? At that point it's easier to just rush through all acts.
The excel sheet can be useful, but not for the described scenario

Posted Mar 8, 2016He doesn't mean "if you only have an hour of time right now".
He means, "if you have just an hour of time, regardless of when throughout the day, you can come exactly when that bonus is active".
You might have 40 of all other act mats, but none from A1, so you need to farm A1 4 times, you can just wait for that time of day and just farm A1 all hour.

Posted Mar 8, 2016Hey leech, thanks for letting us know about this.
But, I am kinda having a hard time reading the chart and how to use it efficiently. Can you expand a bit on how to read/use it?
Tnx in advance,
EDIT: nevermind, I got it.
when you click the GDoc link, it shows which cycle is the current one.

Posted Mar 8, 2016I love spreadsheets, I really do, they're my job, I make spreadsheets with all kinds of data... but uh, I don't understand the point of this one, sorry. There are things in the game that you can't control, so knowing about them doesn't really change anything. It's like knowing the drop rate of certain legendaries. It doesn't change whether they drop or not, it doesn't change how you get them. Here, I suppose, you have some degree of control, over when you choose to play? I mean, this is basically a way to schedule in advance when you want to do a bonus act... I just don't think it's particularly useful.

Posted Mar 8, 2016Well, for me it will help me decide what I will be doing that night. I tend to play mostly solo. So, if I know that I'm running low on a specific mat, I will plan my game accordingly.
Using his data, I've even build an Android App to have it at hand.

Feel free to clone and build if you want. Just be aware that this was my 1st android app ever :-D
EDIT: I've added a direct link to the .apk file on my google drive. That way, no need to compile the whole thing.

Mods: if it is not OK to share apps, feel free to remove the link. Source code is available on the github link.

Posted Mar 8, 2016I still don't get it.
Let's say I logon and see the Bonus act is Act5, how do I know which order is it in?
Since there's 4 orders which starts with Act5
