A real challange - 10 round competition - 1st prize is 350 Astral Shards

[Cardo]

Seems that the competition is getting harder so we had to up the skulls on QpQ all the way to 10 and we were shamed by solo runners to revisit the Ruined halls for a better speed run time. Guildie should be posting videos of these runs too.

Delaras R1 speed run. Not a perfect run but a pretty fine one if I may say so.

Time: 1:36 [2:08]

Round 1 (team with cardo & stratimics who posts video)

Welcome to the party. Its nice to have a team taking part as well for more fun.

Very nice. I love that you decided to push back and up your entry.

Strong time in Ruined Halls. It will be interesting to see if a soloist can match that. Remember - your group time needs to be better that the solo run so a soloist at 1:14 will beat your time

Btw, I round fractions up for the adjusted time, so I will list it as 0:56.

Just for science I tested with my level 30 monk how fast it could be run solo and ended with a time of 59 seconds real time, so a faster solo run should
theoretically be possible with a fast character.

Also, still nearly a week left on round 1 if you care to speed run those quests as well

[Stratimics]

Here's the videos and screenshots for Quid Pro Quo!
We also improved our time on Ruined Halls so new video and screenshots for that one as well!

Quid Pro Quo (R10)
5 Base
10 Skulls
3 All first lifers
1 Lower level
19

Quid Pro Quo (R1) – 03:16 (modified 02:27)

Ruined Halls – 01:14 (modified 00:56)

15 + 19 + 1 = 35

So a total of 35 points for us for week two.

Sorc WF! nice runs, gratz!

hey devs, remember to nerf stealthplay because it is SO OP!!!

[Zargarx]

Kicking off week 3, with Bargain of Blood:
13 points (5 base, +1 reaper, +3 1st lifer, +1 underlevel (by 2 levels), +2 true solo, +1 no deaths)

[mikarddo]

Just to put in a group run. Round 1 - TTT. 4:16 [5:41]

[Saekee]

Bargain of Blood: R5 (10), solo with hireling (+1); no deaths (well, hireling died 2x? So scratch that?), one level under (+1). Anyway points do not matter, am not able to compete against some of the posters here.
This was tough until I decided to just do it with a hireling

Well done, and points still matter. At the end the lottery for 500 points code is based on how many points you have. So, more points means a bigger chance at winning that prize.

24h left on round 1.

[Magnus_Arcanis]

Shamless plug: https://twitch.tv/tomcapor if nothing else, Sundays @ 4pm est. Can even earn a chance at some additional ddo points!

Ok, these speeds runs are getting kind of intense. Did manage these though.

R1 Delera's Tomb - 2:08

*Time unadjusted for first lifer.

Not sure how you score ties... but man is it good. Took quite a bit of effort just to tie this.

Vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CafrgHzl-xE

R1 Ruined Halls - 1:22

*Time unadjusted for first lifer.

Again, tough... might need a better path if we're gonna keep pushing this one haha.

Vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF98Y-oyfKw

Sorry for the screen shots. If need retaken, can certainly grab em from the vids.

[Magnus_Arcanis]

Oh, for future reference. Can I still submit on Nov 1st. Like.. when does it actually cut off?

Granted, won't have time for more runs, so no surprises from me. Monday is DnD night, but was curious for future deadlines.

[MIvan]

R3 Bargain of Blood - 8:21

11 Points
8 = R3
2 = Truly solo
1 = No Deaths

I figure the cut-off is whenever during the evening on the last day (Euro time) that I get around to it.
But - if that sounds like a bad idea we can do it differently so I am open to suggestions.

Very nice on tying the time for Delaras. I had a completely lucky run when I got that time. I think I will try 3 more runs to see if I can beat your time but I very sincerely doubt it and I dont have time to run umpteen times for the ultra lucky run.

As for your Ruined Halls time there is still a week to go on that but I do intend to beat your 1:22 there

For future ties whoever posted first wins to give a reason to post early.

I obviously wont introduce that in retrospect for this tie though - if the 2:08 tie stands at the end both will get the full points.
