Make sure to do Quina's questline at least to the point of getting the Blessed Flower, then immediately store the flower.

Get to The Everfall and use it to level up a while (use The Everfall, not the flower), saving all the Wakestones you can. I'd recommend killing the Ur Dragon once or twice at that point (more, if efficiency is more important to you than boredom).

All this time you should be finding/creating/buying all the Pilgrim's Charms, Martyr's Talismans, etc... that you come across, and storing them.

You can go to BBI at this point (you'll probably be level 70-80ish I'm guessing?), but what I do is start a new game and run through it, though I'm careful to do Quina's quests until I get a 2nd Blessed Flower, which I immediately store again.

THEN I go to BBI in earnest. I'd hire lower level pawns until you're about level 100+, then just go with you and your Main Pawn. Start using the Talismans (time their uses well). If  you're a bow class bring massive Blast Arrows and hunt Death, you can kill him in one meeting with BAs, pop a talisman just before he dies. When you're around level 160 or so take out a Blessed Flower and keep killing BBI stuff till it rots.

It's tempting to use the Exp buffs earlier, but if you save most of them for later, when you can kill stuff relatively fast on BBI, it'll be worth it.

Phew!
