S it looks like I need to amend my previous statements. You are able to claim the kings bounty without doing everything in assistant. However you must do everything except one thing it looks like. I claimed the kings bounty after completing all events except guild warfare. I think this is tolerable. I would think it would be better if you could claim kings bounty without completing 2 events since
1. cerebus/baal are at inconvenient times for many
and
2. pirates is pure luck for many players to get across
