If you check bosses on a daily basis, what do you think is the best / shortest / most valuable way?

EDIT:

Since it was hard to understand what i meant i wanna clearify it:

I wanna check easy bosses on a daily basis. I do not wanna make Quests for it or anything. With "smart" way I just thought about a really fast way I could walk. For example: If I just got 10 minutes time before I am going to work everyday, where should I logg out and how many bosses could I check and where? I hope you understand it better now, but Shawtay already answered my question.

I believe that in order for us to give a proper answer, we need a more detailed question.
What do you mean by "best way"? "smartest way'? What is your goal: money, rares, achievs? Which bosses are you talking about? We have over 100 bosses in Tibia, there is no way to check all of them, so we need to know your goal, so we can focus on a solution there.

Best answer

I want to make sure I give you an answer, I hope it is what your looking for as it's better to clarify this in your question. What bosses are you looking for in particular? What do you mean by smart? Like how to be fast?

I want you to go to this link. I love this fansite, it's great if your new to checking bosses... I will paste you some quotes all credit goes to the author and this site:

https://www.tibiabosses.com/forum/topic/beginners-guide-to-bosshunting/

The most basic thing that you need is a char. Level doesn't really matter, as there are bosses designed for various level ranges. Of course, the higher - the better. Back in the day, we used only our main chars to bosshunt, but times have changed. I strongly recommend to create some "noobchars". I call them "bosschekers" and "bosskillers".

Examples of bosses which can be easily checked with noobchars:

  • White Pale,
  • Fernfang,
  • General Murius,
  • Man in the cave,
  • Ocyakao,
  • Yeti,
  • Dharalion,
  • Rotworm Queen,
  • Midnight panther,
  • Crustacea gigantica...
  • One of the most important things is: how to predict when the boss will spawn? Well, the main source is the kill statistics section on tibia.com. Based on them it is possible to count how many days approx are needed for the boss to respawn.
  • Check as often as possible, not only right after or before ss for example;
  • Don't camp bosses for days in one place, since it's most often just a waste of time which could be used to check other bosses;
  • It is good to keep an eye on the world/english/advertising chat. Sometimes people seek some help there to kill the bosses which they find randomly. It happend to me with The Welter, Tyrn and Demodras for example. Or if you missed the serverwide message about some major boss spawning (Ferumbras, archdemons) by some minutes, it is often commented on these chats. Then you may still have the chance to participate in killing the boss;
  • as mentioned before, the faster you do the check - the better. When I'm checking bosses, I always wear speed boosting eq to save a few seconds while running
  • Sometimes it’s hard to spot specific boss, as it goes invisible often (like midnight panther and Grandfather Tridian). It is important to stay in the respawn place for at least some seconds to make sure if the boss spawned or not;
  • Some bosses spawn with additional monsters. I call it overresp. By spotting this overresp you may recognize in a second if the boss spawned near somewhere. Man in the cave, for example – two additional ice golems spawn on the floor under his cave when his there, or Furyosa - she spawns with many demons which wander 1 floor above her;
  • Combine business with pleasure and hunt in places where bosses can spawn (Wrath of the Emperor quest – 10th mission, wyrms under Drefia and so on);
  • Some bosses have very "loud" sounds which can be heared from a distance. This may inform you faster about the bosses presence and might be useful in certain situations. Examples: Midnight panther growls very loud and can be heard in a wide radius, the same with Hatebreeder, there are also rumours that you can hear Plasmothers sounds on PoI without going the long and hard way near the throne where she respawns. And the most basic example is Man in the cave and his monks. Thanks to the screams of them all you can easily check if he's in his cave.

If you mean a route - it strictly depends on probability of bosses' appearance, so there is no good answer.

If you mean way to hunt them - then it's more difficult. I used to focus on bosses with profitable and rare loot, count the probability of it's appearance to avoid wasting time on bosses without any chance to appear. I'm checking it as often as possible (but not more often than 20 mins) and I'm not camping it to not block floor resets... and it's all I guess.

It also depends on what you expect - only profit or maybe some RPG, chllenge or you are a collector.

Different kind of bosses requires different tactics. This question is a little bit too broad.
