When everything's at either sail-to or kill, I start sailing and killing, because a lot of them overlap, and by doing one, I'm also doing another.

Seems to be working ok.
And even if they don't overlap exactly (like both requiring EITC ships to be sunk), there are still many of them that can be completed in the same area. I was in Cutthroat Jungle working on 3 different quests- killing Large Gators, Fly Traps and Stumps just circling around while they regenerated. And then wandered over for some high level skeletons. If I was working through one quest at a time, I would get frustrated having already been there for the previous task.

But what to call it- multitasking or parallel questing?

And to add a non-sequitor, I think Cutthroat is a little like Walmart. You can find a little bit of everything there.
