0:00Hey folks, in this video you'll get to
0:01see a full 80 to90 speedrun that I
0:03completed on the 12.0.7 PTR. If you
0:06haven't already heard, a lot of quests
0:08are getting massive buffs to their XP
0:09rewards in the upcoming patch. So, I've
0:11been hard at work designing a new route
0:13for Follow the Arrow, which incorporates
0:14all of these changes. The end result was
0:16this 1 hour and 38 minute run, which
0:19shaved off nearly 40 minutes from my
0:21previous record of 2 hours and 17
0:23minutes. While this is already pretty
0:25fast, I actually think that with a few
0:27additional optimizations, I could have
0:28gotten the time down even lower. Also,
0:31later on in 12.0.7, we'll have access to
0:33an additional 30% XP buff from Turbulent
0:35Timeways. So, I'll almost certainly beat
0:37this time once again in the coming
0:39months. With that being said, I want to
0:41give a few quick notes before we begin
0:42to provide additional context for the
0:44run. Normally, I like to do these
0:46overviews in real time before I enter
0:48the game, but that's one of the quirks
0:50about this particular speedrun. Every
0:52single day on the daily reset, the
0:54available delve stories will rotate, and
0:56some of them are much faster for
0:58leveling than others. The problem that I
1:00run into when setting up a speedrun is
1:01that not all of the best delve stories
1:03are available in the same daily
1:04rotation. Generally speaking, the best
1:07day to do your leveling is when the
1:08cycle containing the Calamitus story for
1:10shadow guard points is active. Many
1:12people already understand that you can
1:14spam this delve repeatedly to get a lot
1:15of mob kill XP, but I actually didn't do
1:17that during this run. Calamitus is just
1:20still very efficient compared to the
1:21other options for shadow guard points.
1:23Additionally, the other delves active on
1:25that particular day are usually pretty
1:27fast with the sole exception being
1:29Parhelion Plaza. So, for this speedrun,
1:32I wanted to try performing it shortly
1:34before the daily reset occurred. I would
1:36start the run about 30 minutes before
1:38the reset on a Calamitus day, and I
1:40would do all the delves with fast
1:41stories on that particular rotation.
1:43Then midway through the run, the reset
1:45would occur and the delves would switch
1:47their variants, which would allow me to
1:48get the fastest possible clears for
1:50delves like Perculian Plaza, all within
1:52a single speedrun. As you'll see, this
1:55actually worked out pretty well. But the
1:56one downside is that I had to start the
1:58run at a very specific time, which meant
2:00I wasn't able to do my traditional
2:02pre-run yap, which is why you have to
2:04listen to future Carlen this time
2:05around. It's also worth noting that
2:07since I'm trying to test out the
2:09upcoming 12.0.7 changes, I had to do the
2:11speedrun on the PTR. Now, generally
2:14speaking, the time difference between
2:15the PTR and live servers is negligible,
2:17in this particular case, I actually lost
2:19a bit of time due to test server jank.
2:21And I will mention this throughout the
2:22run whenever it occurs. Also, while this
2:24should be fairly obvious to anyone
2:26familiar with optimal speed leveling, I
2:28am using the Dark Moon Fair 10% buff. I
2:30have the 25% warband mentor bonus on my
2:33account, and I have war mode enabled for
2:35most of the run, which gives me 15%
2:37additional experience outside of Silver
2:39Moon City. Lastly, I want to acknowledge
2:41that at a few points during the run,
2:43I'll ignore the instructions that I
2:45wrote within Follow the Arrow and do
2:46something a little bit different. I
2:48usually call attention to this whenever
2:49it occurs, and I try to explain why, but
2:52I figured it would be worthwhile to
2:53include a slightly more involved
2:55explanation here, as I received a lot of
2:57confused comments on the previous
2:58Guardian Druid speedrun asking why I
3:01would go to all this trouble to develop
3:02a leveling add-on if I'm not even going
3:04to use it myself. Now, the first and
3:07hopefully most obvious reason is that
3:09test speedruns like this need to happen
3:11first before I'm able to actually add
3:13the route into the add-on. By the time
3:15the patch is released on live servers,
3:17the alt route for Fall the Arrow will be
3:18fully up to date, and you'll be able to
3:20follow along with a route roughly
3:22resembling what I did in the speedrun.
3:24However, since I'm the one actually
3:26building the route, I have to do some
3:28tests without any guidance in order to
3:29determine what the best route actually
3:31is so I can then include it within the
3:33add-on. I really would have thought this
3:35concept would be self-explanatory, but
3:37again, a lot of people on the last video
3:39used this as a point of criticism
3:41against the add-on. So, apparently, I do
3:43need to make that point a bit clearer.
3:45With that being said, I have always
3:46tried to explain that my guides will
3:48never onetoone resemble the routes used
3:50for my speedrun, and this is by design.
3:52A lot of the strategies that I use in my
3:54runs are extremely complex, and they
3:56can't be easily copied by an
3:57inexperienced player. However, most of
4:00these complicated optimizations are
4:02extremely minor. I'll end up doing
4:03something that, let's say, saves about
4:0530 seconds. This is massive in the
4:07context of a speedrun. But if I tried to
4:10recommend doing this trick to new
4:11players, they would likely get confused
4:13and then lose multiple minutes of time
4:14instead of just holding W. So, generally
4:17speaking, I try to build routes for the
4:19add-on that are really, really easy to
4:20follow for new players, but are still
4:22incredibly fast, and that is the bulk of
4:25the time save that you'll get by using
4:26something like Follow the Arrow. But
4:28another thing that I want to draw
4:30attention to is that the new events that
4:31are being included as of 12.0.7 have a
4:34lot of variance. For example, South
4:37Suare is now always worth completing,
4:39but the exact quests that are available
4:42as well as their locations can vary
4:44wildly. In this run, I'll showcase what
4:46I believe to be a very optimal setup. I
4:48primarily end up using blood knights,
4:50but some players won't have access to
4:52these exact quests when they try to
4:53level their characters. For this reason,
4:55the implementation of South Suare in
4:57Fall the Arrow will be a little bit more
4:59free form and you'll be expected to do a
5:01little bit of thinking for yourself. God
5:03forbid right now. I can't possibly
5:05account for every possible combination
5:06of quests that could both be active at
5:08once and be chosen by any other player.
5:10It's just way too much variance. So, in
5:13addition to this, the prey quests are
5:15now always worth doing alongside the
5:16rest of the leveling route. But the
5:18exact prey enemies that you get and
5:20their associated objectives will be
5:22randomized every single week. and in
5:24some cases every single day. In this
5:26speedrun, I actually got really, really
5:28lucky. Most of the prey objectives just
5:30happened to overlap with the other
5:31things that I was already doing. I did
5:33not plan for this at all, and during all
5:35my testing, I actually got prey
5:36objectives in the middle of nowhere, so
5:38it was a bit harder for me to fill the
5:39bar and reach the final showdown. This
5:41is another case, though, where the
5:43add-on will provide you with a lot of
5:44important information, but then it'll be
5:46up to the player to look around and
5:47actually figure out how to best adapt to
5:49their current objectives. Now, in a few
5:51days, closer to the release of 12.1.7,
5:54I'll put out a much shorter standalone
5:55video that goes into detail on every
5:57single relevant leveling change and how
5:59it will be incorporated within Fall
6:01Arrow. Hopefully, I provided you with
6:03enough context in the meantime to follow
6:04along with the speedrun. Now, if I've
6:06missed any important details that you're
6:08still curious about, feel free to ask a
6:10question in the comments. I always read
6:11and answer every single one. But with
6:13that out of the way, we can cut back to
6:15Haralden in the present, and he'll give
6:16you a quick preamble before starting the
6:18timer and beginning the run. All right.
6:21Hello. So, one thing that you'll
6:23probably notice is that I am using a
6:25facecam in this speedrun. That is
6:27probably not normal if you haven't been
6:28actively watching a bunch of my streams.
6:30I have been using facecam recently on
6:31streams, though. And I think this is the
6:33first actual video, at least in a very
6:35long time where I'm using it. So, if
6:37that's news to you, then cool. Uh, now
6:40obviously I usually like to do big
6:41preamles before these speedruns. You
6:43probably just got done listening to
6:44Future Harolden do a bit of like an
6:46early explanation of what this is.
6:48obviously PTR, etc. Uh, I am on a clock.
6:52I have 30 minutes to get like the first
6:54leg of the run done. I think I can do
6:56it, but it is going to be close. I'm
6:59going to minimize my OBS just so it's
7:01not distracting. And uh, what else do I
7:04need to do? I'm going to get all my
7:06buffs rolling before I start. I think
7:08that's usually standard practice. I have
7:12an alchemical chaos here that I can use.
7:15So, I have 30 minutes to get a lot of
7:18stuff done. Uh, we'll see. We'll see how
7:20much I can I can do. I'm just going to I
7:22got the dark and fair buff in advance,
7:24but I can clear that now. Uh, I've
7:27gotten you can see my current item
7:28level. This is one of my characters from
7:30War Within. I think it's a copy of my
7:32monk circa like early MFO or something
7:35like that.
7:39Take a nice sip of coffee before I
7:40start. get my augment rune and then
7:42we're going to run on top of Leodin.
7:46And uh I'm doing something complicated.
7:49So, if you recall my previous druid run,
7:53I had really long loading screens cuz
7:55it's the PTR. Now, I did test that. It
7:57happened again. I found a way to fix it.
7:59I have a second instance of WoW running
8:02on this computer, uh my my old computer,
8:06which I'm no longer using.
8:09And I I basically gotten the character
8:13set up. So before I start, I'm going to
8:16basically enter Herandar on this
8:18account, load the zone in advance. That
8:20way I don't get the long loading screen.
8:22So I'm going to go ahead and do that. I
8:24need to make sure I do it correctly,
8:26though. So we're going to do I'm using
8:29an NG wormhole. Generate a wormhole to
8:31Herandar. And then now that that is
8:34loading,
8:36I should be able to we're going to start
8:38the run. So, I'm going to go over here.
8:40I'm going to start the timer. And then
8:41we're going to talk to Leadrin. Turn
8:44this in. And then I've heard this tail
8:46before.
8:46>> All right. Cool.
8:50>> Uh, this route, by the way, is going to
8:52be very complicated. And while I
8:54probably explained this a little bit
8:55before starting, although I looks like
8:58nobody was in Silver Moon, so that might
9:00take a little bit to load. Uh, we're
9:01going to pick up Everong.
9:04Uh, I am using my add-on here, of
9:06course,
9:07but there are a few slight differences.
9:10Now, by the time that you're doing this
9:12run, uh, when the patch comes out, you
9:14will have the add-on fully up to date
9:16with everything that you need, but I
9:19need to take a few liberties here. Some
9:21of it is just for speedrun purposes. Uh,
9:24some of it is 12.0.7 stuff that I just
9:27haven't included in the route yet. Right
9:30now, I'm just using the route as you
9:31know it. There are a few changes,
9:32though. You may notice that the arrow is
9:34a little bit different. Okay, Harandar
9:36is loaded. I also got a really lucky
9:38spawn for my warrior. It's uh very close
9:41to where I need to be. And then we're
9:45going to teleport to Herandar. And then
9:47now I'm going to Hearthstone on my
9:49warrior cuz I needed to activate a
9:52different area.
9:55All right. Yeah, you can see really fast
9:56teleport there. It was really, really,
9:59really frustrating for me. I got so many
10:00comments in that druid run telling me
10:02like all these different hardware issues
10:04that I can you know address to make it
10:06work properly and I I don't know how
10:09many comments I ended up responding to
10:10basically explaining to every single
10:12person I talked about this in the run.
10:14It is not a hardware issue. It is just a
10:16PTR issue and I have confirmed multiple
10:19times that that is exactly what it is.
10:20And hopefully now if you were one of
10:22those people who for some reason thought
10:24that I had like a really crappy computer
10:26that you know it's not even like oh no
10:29my computer's great. How dare you say my
10:30computer's bad. It's just really
10:32frustrating having so many people
10:33confidently tell you that they know the
10:35solution to your problem when they are
10:36just dead wrong. They just have no idea
10:38what's going on and I even mentioned it.
10:40But hey here uh what can you do?
10:43>> All right. So this is one of the new
10:45things that we're doing in 12 panel 0.7.
10:47Uh, a lot of people know that the delves
10:50are getting buffed. That's been one of
10:51the big talking points like, "Oh man,
10:53uh, Delver's Call is getting like a
10:55massive XP boost." And it is. That is
10:58obviously just a flat massive boost to
11:00the existing route as it already was,
11:03but they also buffed all of these other
11:06weeklies. Now, initially, I remember
11:08saying I was a little bit unsure whether
11:09or not uh, this would be good enough to
11:11actually justify including. Turns out
11:13actually almost all of it is. Uh the
11:17only thing that I'm not including
11:20actually I guess it's void assaults. Uh
11:22void assaults are really really really
11:24bad. They also got buffed. Uh they are
11:26still really really really bad. It does
11:28not matter uh whether or not they give
11:31more XP. Now something else that you're
11:33going to see me do here which
11:34technically has always been a thing but
11:36it was this is so this is when I say
11:38like the speedrun route is a little bit
11:40different than the normal route. I'm
11:42talking about things like this. This
11:43daily quest changes on some days there's
11:46three of them. Why? I have no idea. Some
11:50days there's just three dailies where
11:53there should only be one. And this is
11:55basically three really quick backto-back
11:57wanted quests. So when it happens to be
11:59one of those days where all of them are
12:02active, it is absolutely worth going out
12:05of your way to do this.
12:09Uh shuns. Did I? I did. Okay, I remember
12:13to switch my trinkets. I have to
12:15actually loot these mobs. And this is
12:18the kind of thing where I can't really
12:19route this into Fall the Arrow. I think
12:21now that you're technically doing a
12:23little bit more in Herandar anyway
12:25because of uh the Legends of the Heronir
12:28and going to pick up Alar's Bloom. I
12:31think it's probably worth it for me to
12:33include at least a mention here. Check
12:36to see if the triple quest is active. If
12:38it is, do it. If not, you know, don't
12:40worry about it. It's not worth it. Uh,
12:42but obviously that is really good XP.
12:45That was 66k XP for less than a minute.
12:49I think also I am well aware that like
12:52my head is kind of blocking the timer. I
12:54tried to get it perfect but like my
12:55camera's a little bit off. Uh, the point
12:57is the timer will still be there and you
12:58can like you can kind of make out like
13:01oh that's probably a four. Uh, it's
13:04mostly there just for like for
13:06recordeping, right? It's um
13:09you know obviously I want to have the
13:11timer on there. Um but I'm trying out uh
13:15doing this. Yeah, delves also have been
13:16really slow to load on the PTR. I think
13:19I already have my Valyira automatically
13:21set up, right? Yeah, that's one nice
13:22thing about doing this uh now compared
13:25to when I initially did it is my Valy
13:26progress was not copying onto beta where
13:28I did some of my initial tests. But here
13:31it does work. Now, Valyira though,
13:34despite my Valyira being max level, is
13:36basically worthless. There is a reason
13:38why I'm not using damage val. And she's
13:40dead. That that is why you don't use uh
13:43Valy. She is honestly completely
13:46useless. I put her on healer. That way,
13:49she will sometimes generate like low
13:51enough threat to where she won't
13:53instantly die, but most of the time she
13:55just dies anyway. So, I don't I don't
13:58know. There's really no good way to use
13:59Valer while leveling. Um, the problem
14:02with that especially is I've seen some
14:04people try to use tank valer while
14:05leveling and of course what they don't
14:07realize is that tank val you have to
14:09rely on her. Like that's kind of the
14:10entire point and she's still going to
14:12instantly die while also doing basically
14:15no damage. So it is absolutely not worth
14:18it. Uh Valy is not something that you
14:20can ever really rely upon. Like look at
14:22how quickly she's dying. It makes
14:24absolutely no sense.
14:26Uh, okay. We can,
14:29uh, this is
14:32the stuff. Uh, we need to clear the
14:34mushrooms and then I want to quickly
14:37attack one of them so I can get Touch of
14:39Death on cool down. But, uh, we don't
14:41get the insta kill just yet.
14:45So, I'm going to get it down here. Then,
14:48we taught. For some reason, despite
14:49having less health than me, that didn't
14:51instantly die. Whatever.
14:55Grudge Pit is definitely one of the
14:56slower delves. The the way I've set this
14:59up though, I'm sure I explained this in
15:02the like the pre uh preamble, I guess,
15:05for lack of a better uh descriptor. Uh I
15:09have basically done it. So on the
15:10Calamitus day, that's where I'm
15:12starting. So that is what most of my
15:13delves are going to be. And it's still
15:15worth it to do Herandar first on this
15:17day
15:19because it it just flows better. And
15:21also all moth munchies, the uh gulp of
15:24memory one is really fast.
15:27>> Uh right, this one.
15:30>> Uh so I want to do as many of this as I
15:32can. Mouldering fighter. Also, you may
15:35notice I have rushi wraps. The nice
15:37thing about rushi wraps is it's actually
15:39very easy to get on alts. You can just
15:41pop into cares and grab it. So,
15:43something that actually did not occur to
15:45me until kind of just like a month ago
15:47or so is that even on alts that you
15:49never played when it was current content
15:51in War Within, if you actually played
15:53War Within and you have the Rushy Wraps
15:55unlocked, you can just pop into Kesh
15:57instantly do the skip, uh, go all the
15:59way over there, get a fully upgraded
16:01Rushy Wraps for free on that brand new
16:02alt, like the skip still works perfectly
16:04fine. It takes less than a minute, and
16:06then that is the only cloak that you'll
16:08ever need to use. And obviously, it's
16:09really good. So, there are definitely
16:11some things that I do for my speedruns
16:13that I know, you know, people will say
16:14like, "Oh, this isn't accurate to like
16:15what most people do." Uh, where's the
16:17final one? It says it's right here. I
16:18just couldn't see it. But, I wanted to
16:21at least call attention to that because
16:22that's something I think a lot of people
16:23may think, "Oh, well, my alt doesn't
16:25have rushy wraps." It can. You just need
16:27to make sure you go actually grab it.
16:30Um,
16:31there's also kind of a weird uh thing
16:34that I'm going to have to deal with as
16:36we go where I really want to hit level
16:3881 so I can get my crafted gear
16:40equipped.
16:43Okay. And barely fell short of killing
16:46that.
16:48I'm going to loot this because there is
16:49a chance that you can get a trinket,
16:51which would be really good. I didn't get
16:53one. That's fine. And then I'm going to
16:54use my Hearthstone to go back to the
16:56den.
16:58And initially when I was like theory
17:00crafting a route, I was thinking, "Oh, I
17:02can make it so right at the start of the
17:04run, I grab the level 80 BOE's in
17:07Herandar and Voidtorm." Uh, and to my
17:10surprise, Blizzard decided that they
17:12were going to nerf the BOE's, and now
17:14they require level 81, the ones that you
17:17buy off like the quartermaster down
17:18there. And to make matters worse, at
17:20first I was like, "All right, well, I'll
17:22still do that. I'll grab them at level
17:2381, but then I just, you know, won't use
17:25it until um what's it called? Uh until I
17:31hit that level, but I'll grab it
17:32immediately. Uh you can't even purchase
17:34it until you're 81 for some reason. I
17:36don't know why. It is uh quite
17:37frustrating is what it is, though. Uh
17:41and now I I need to get ready to move.
17:44Ah [ __ ] Uh I was going to have my
17:47warrior preload voidtorm. The thing
17:49about Voidtorm though is I've never had
17:51Voidtorm take a really long time to load
17:52it. Something with Herandar causes it to
17:54bug out and like the initial loading
17:56process is really slow. I haven't run
17:58into that issue with any other zone. So,
18:00as long as I didn't have like another 30
18:02second load screen, I'm kind of fine.
18:05Um, and the other issue is I really need
18:08my warrior to keep something in Everong
18:11Woods active. Uh, you'll see when we get
18:13there. Basically on live servers when
18:17you do South Suare, which obviously
18:19you're going to include in the run, like
18:21it's really, really, really efficient.
18:22Um, the advantage to doing it on live
18:24servers is you can just pop over as
18:26somebody else is already doing it, tag
18:28the final boss, and you get full credit.
18:30That's all you need to do to complete
18:31it. Now, I want to make this as accurate
18:34as possible to live servers. But the
18:36irony of this run is that a lot of times
18:38in the PTR, you get advantages, right?
18:40You know, empty servers and stuff like
18:41that. I actually have more disadvantages
18:44to deal with in this PTR run than I
18:47think any other PTR run I've had. And
18:49I've had to do things like, you know,
18:51preload the um the zones on an alt so I
18:54don't get stuck in massive loading
18:55screen. But I also pre-cleared the
18:58entirety of the suare like runstone
19:01defense and got to the final boss. But
19:04what I found is that if the server
19:06resets, if I do all that and then I walk
19:08away and Blizzard like unloads the zone,
19:10my progress is lost. So, right now my
19:13warrior is parked somewhere in Everson
19:14Woods because I've already pre-completed
19:17that. I'm hoping it still works. I
19:18haven't actually had time to confirm
19:20that it like stays loaded in forever,
19:22but I suspect it would.
19:25I I don't see why it wouldn't. And like
19:28the worst case scenario, if it doesn't,
19:30then like whatever. I have to do it
19:32anyway. And it would still be worth it
19:33to clear it. So, either this is a
19:36shortcut that I can benefit from or I
19:37just eat a time loss because it's the
19:39PTR. I would still want to do it
19:41regardless though because again I want
19:42to simulate what real people would do on
19:45the live servers and on the live servers
19:47it's just lightning fast. You'll never
19:48need to rely on like presetting it up.
19:51Other people will do that for you
19:52because other people will be doing the
19:53weekly.
19:55All right, we're going to get through
19:57this one pretty quick. All of Munchies
20:00is definitely it's a weird delve. I
20:03think it's it's definitely not the
20:05fastest Gulf of Memory variant, but it's
20:08still pretty fast. And I think like
20:11Sporosaur special is probably a little
20:14bit faster, but you kill less mobs. So,
20:17this is one of those where like the time
20:19difference is not that significant to
20:21where the extra mob kill XP doesn't, you
20:23know, kind of make up for that because
20:25mob kill XP, I mean, it it matters.
20:27Every little bit counts. Uh, is that
20:30enough? No, I'm That's awkward. And I
20:33can't to tod this because I need that
20:34for the boss.
20:37>> All right.
20:40>> Going to try and get up here without
20:42accidentally rolling off the side. That
20:45would be quite bad. Now, I'm probably
20:50uh Yeah. Uh this extra action button
20:52does damage still, by the way. It
20:53doesn't do a lot of damage, but it is
20:55enough to where it is worth pressing.
20:59Uh, there we go. Didn't kill for some
21:02reason. All right, let's see. Do I get a
21:04trinket?
21:06>> Uh, I do not. That's fine. I use
21:08Arcantina key here.
21:11Okay, this one is
21:14This one is complicated. This is a new
21:16change to the route, and I need to make
21:17sure I don't [ __ ] this up. Our cantina
21:19loading screen might be a little bit
21:20slow because obviously I haven't preset
21:23this up. Nobody's been here. But again,
21:25it it worst case will be like 10
21:27seconds. Yeah.
21:31So, obviously, if I wanted to get like
21:34an ultra super duper fast run on the
21:35PTR, I would have to preload every
21:38single zone. I don't really care all
21:39that much. It it it is what it is. I've
21:41accepted the fact that it's just going
21:43to be a little bit slower. I'm going to
21:44end up doing um I'm going to do a live
21:48server run at some point when Turbulent
21:49Timeways is active. So, this is mostly
21:52just to demonstrate the changes to the
21:55route in 12.0.7 1.7 in like a mostly
21:58efficient way while also uh wood storm.
22:02Yeah. While also still trying to get
22:05like, you know, a good time. But I'm
22:08going to smoke this time anyways with
22:10the the 30% buff. So, it's it's kind of
22:12whatever.
22:14Okay, we have 15 minutes. I think I'm
22:17going to barely make it in time. So,
22:20that works. That is fine.
22:23All right. Come on.
22:26I don't want to like hit it a second
22:27time and potentially like glitch out the
22:29game, but okay.
22:32>> It would have worked. Uh, we're going to
22:34get the the Valer buff. Okay. And do I
22:39Yeah, I need to speak to this NPC. Uh,
22:41this is definitely the fastest
22:43collegiate calamity variant.
22:46It's um
22:50>> uh I don't know. Uh, invasive globe is
22:52pretty fast, but
22:56>> uh, this one I think is probably
23:00slightly faster when done correctly.
23:08All right, we need to run over here. I'm
23:10going to just round up as many mobs as I
23:11can.
23:14get all those.
23:18>> Valer is making it a little bit harder
23:20to round up mobs, but thankfully she is
23:22dead, so it should be fine. I also just
23:25realized I do not have [ __ ] I broke the
23:28combo. It's my step process too fast. I
23:31do not have my personal resource display
23:34enabled, which I would like to have,
23:37but it's fine.
23:41Uh, let's go. Options, combat, personal
23:44resource display. Okay, I could also
23:46turn on my damage meter, but I think by
23:48default that would also just go directly
23:49below where my camera is. Uh, it doesn't
23:52really matter for the purposes of this
23:53anyway.
24:00Come on. All right. Uh, another thing,
24:03by the way, that makes it really slow
24:04for me on the PTR is, you may be
24:06surprised that I'm not oneshotting most
24:08mobs with the gear that I have. Uh,
24:10there is a scaling aura. I am set to
24:13item level 80 right now. So, the bulk of
24:16this run takes place in delves. And
24:20consider the fact that this is the item
24:22level. Oh my god, I [ __ ] up. Okay,
24:24it's fine because I'm a Windalker monk.
24:26Um, that I've never actually That is so
24:29unlucky. Um yeah, actually I lose very
24:32little time thankfully because wind
24:33walker monk you're supposed to run along
24:35the rooftop here and then drop down. Uh
24:37but obviously having uh whatever that is
24:40rushing wind uh lighter than air is um
24:46really really really nice and I was able
24:48to recover pretty well. Um [ __ ] it. I'm
24:52going to I'm going to Todd just because
24:53the time that I'll save from the boss
24:56will be less than uh the time I'll save
24:58from the role play.
25:00Now, this should probably get me to
25:02level 81, I think. If not, it's going to
25:05be really close.
25:11Yeah, not having Todd for the boss
25:12sucks, but like what are you going to
25:14do? Very minor difference in the end.
25:22Uh, that is unfortunate, but I can I can
25:25adapt. Um, how do I want to adapt?
25:30Um,
25:35I can't do dark way yet. I don't have
25:37time for dark way. Uh, void storm first.
25:42Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I'll have to do this.
25:52Okay, this should be fine because yeah,
25:54I hit 81, I think, from the exploration
25:56XP into voidstorm. That works.
25:59Um, okay. Uh,
26:03I'm going to have to ignore Fall the
26:05Arrow for a little bit because I'm doing
26:06things very out of order compared to
26:08what I'm supposed to air quotes supposed
26:10to do. Um, okay. Bought the gloves.
26:17Then we get that quest and then all I'm
26:20going to do is just go to Herandar and
26:22buy the belt. I think it is worth it to
26:25have that little bit of extra item
26:26level.
26:28>> It will speed this up for sure.
26:36>> Uh need to
26:39[ __ ] this up. I'm going to just close
26:41this for now because the arrow is the
26:43arrow is freaking out. It doesn't know
26:45what I'm doing. Um, all right. And then
26:48at some point while flying, I'm not
26:51going to do that here because I will hit
26:52a route and I will lose time if I try to
26:54do that here. Uh, while flying, I need
26:56to equip this stuff. I need to pick up a
26:58born killer.
27:01I'm trying to go off memory here.
27:04So, I mean, I do remember this pretty
27:07well. Uh, actually, while I do this now,
27:10I'm going to get fy arrow set up. Okay.
27:13Yeah, that's the lovely thing about the
27:15add-on that I've built. Adapts even if I
27:18fall a little bit behind. As long as I
27:20get to the correct step, it knows what
27:21to do.
27:23Lovely. I do this. Then we're going to
27:28swoop in here. Get credit for that. And
27:30then we're going to head over here.
27:31We're going to do Sunkiller Sanctum. And
27:33I can equip this. I can equip this.
27:38Equip this. Uh, I'll do that later.
27:41Equip this.
27:43Uh, equip this.
27:46Uh, not that. I don't know why I brought
27:48that along. Uh, Evercore shades. Yeah, I
27:52should have I forgot that I wasn't using
27:55um
27:57that I can also I can equip the
27:59engineering stuff while I wait.
28:03Uh, I also have I have buffs that I can
28:06use. Now, uh, it is really just that
28:09because I've already the other buffs I'm
28:10already using.
28:12Um, okay. Going to do this. Huh.
28:18Oh, I don't have highlighting turned on.
28:20I was wondering if I forgot to enable an
28:22objective, but no, it is working. I just
28:24I don't have the the usual highlight.
28:28Good thing I remember where everything
28:30is. So, it's definitely easier to do
28:34when you're used to that.
28:36You can roll in midair. Okay, that
28:38actually makes that part a lot easier.
28:46We're going to do this,
28:50this,
28:52and
28:58>> uh so the nice thing about this is the
29:00only delve that I absolutely need to
29:02make sure I get done on this daily reset
29:04is still Calamitus. And I only have 9
29:08minutes left, but all I need to do is
29:11enter it. So, I have 9 minutes to do
29:13everything leading up to it and then
29:14enter the delve. And worst case
29:16scenario, if I'm like running a little
29:20bit behind and I think it's going to hit
29:22the daily reset, then I can enter it a
29:24little bit early and it won't actually
29:25[ __ ] up the routing. Like, it's still
29:27perfectly fine. If I do it slightly out
29:29of order just to make sure that I get
29:31Calamitus. Okay, that's a Todd.
29:34I just I really want to make sure that
29:36that's the one I have.
29:39Okay, then we're going to do I guess a
29:41midair roll because apparently it can do
29:42that which is sick.
29:48And
29:49by midair roll, I'm specifically talking
29:51about like while in the gravity field. I
29:53want to make it clear that like I know
29:54that you can roll midair. It's just that
29:57um that suppresses a lot of movement
29:59abilities. Like you can't charge while
30:01in that little gravity field. It doesn't
30:03let you do that, which makes a lot of
30:05classes much slower. Um, hello. Okay,
30:10it's trying to click on the one in front
30:12of me.
30:19Going to do this and then I think it'll
30:22be faster if I go up there cuz the mobs
30:26here are weaker.
30:30I'm going to save a Zenith for the boss.
30:33>> Yeah, cuz I can just do this. And then
30:36we go
30:38ice through the wall.
30:43Perfect.
30:44>> And I have touch of death ready to go.
30:52Nice. That felt pretty fast. I mean,
30:54there's a reason why I really like to do
30:56delves on this uh day. Okay, we're going
30:59to leave Delve. I did not get a trinket.
31:02If I don't get a trinket, it's really
31:03not that big of a deal. I'm going to
31:04make sure my warrior doesn't log out.
31:07Got to keep Everong open.
31:11And I should have time to do these
31:13quests, I think.
31:16Yeah, we go over here. Um, these aren't
31:19too long. Uh, I did remember to pick up
31:22the the voidtorm prey. It resets. Oh,
31:26okay. That's awkward.
31:28I did not realize that it reset on the
31:31daily reset. That is
31:34it's fine honestly. Uh that just means I
31:37do like a tiny bit of extra quest in
31:39Everong. Uh prey is really really really
31:42weird.
31:44Uh we'll see if it actually like forces
31:46me to stop doing this. It does still
31:49work here in this part of voidtorm. I
31:50wasn't sure if this would actually
31:52count,
31:54but it does.
32:01We'll do this. Now, the way that you
32:03want to handle prey as part of leveling
32:05is you don't actually want to go out of
32:06your way to do it. You get ambushed. You
32:08can see there I got ambushed while I was
32:09already fighting mobs that I would have
32:11pulled anyway. I just quickly blast the
32:13prey in my cool downs. I do the repost
32:15and then I don't think about it at all.
32:17Now, the fact that it resets the daily
32:19reset is awkward. We'll see if that
32:21actually does screw me over a little
32:23bit. If so, it's fine. I can just
32:26abandon the voidtorm one. The only prey
32:29that I am 100% sure it is worth it to do
32:32is Eversong because you're going to
32:34spend a lot of time in Everong. You will
32:36by the time you're done with that zone
32:37fill the bar. Like almost certainly uh
32:40there's more than enough time to get
32:41that done.
32:43As for
32:46I need to do big pull here. Um why is
32:50that not working?
32:53Okay.
32:56And then let's go over here.
33:01Okay, I'm gonna I see this should be
33:04fine. What am I looking at? 24 minutes.
33:06Okay, this seems about what I expected.
33:10Uh and then I missed one one of these
33:13things right here. And then that's all
33:15of them.
33:20>> Yeah, we'll see what happens with the
33:22prey after I do this chain. Then I'm
33:24going to go over there and do shadow
33:25guard points or uh yeah, it is shadow
33:28guard point.
33:30>> And
33:36that should be fine, I think.
33:40We'll see. Uh, normally I do the quests
33:43outside shadow guard point beforehand,
33:46but it doesn't really matter in this
33:49case because provided prey doesn't
33:53reset, I would want to finish the prey
33:55anyway, right? Yeah, I need to do this
33:57first. So, do this.
34:03I'll fly over here.
34:07This is
34:09Insta Todd. All right.
34:12Okay. Yeah. So, once I've equipped all
34:13this gear, now with the scaling, my Todd
34:16is really, really, really strong. So, I
34:18don't even need to do anything special.
34:24Oh my god, it's like phasing me in and
34:26out. So, I'm losing all my momentum
34:28every time it like phases me because
34:30it's lagging slightly.
34:33Uh,
34:37okay. I have to do I have to enter
34:38Calamitus now. Yeah, normally I would do
34:42this at the end, but especially with the
34:44way that I've changed the route to
34:45account for prey, uh, this won't really
34:48make that much of a difference. And
34:50honestly, it wouldn't really make that
34:51much of a difference anyways. It's very
34:54easy to just leave the delve and then
34:55you could do the Arcantina key after.
34:57So, we've made it to my goal. I can I
35:02can take a little bit a little bit of a
35:04sigh of relief. Uh, my warrior is still
35:07holding down the fort in Everong.
35:09Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do
35:11to help preload the delves. I guess I
35:13could enter them on tier one on multiple
35:15characters. I assume the way that delves
35:17work, the fact that they are affected
35:18like this, they are probably also their
35:21own separate instances that just have
35:22like different copies, but Blizzard has
35:25to spin up a brand new like iteration of
35:27the Delve to get like all the other ones
35:29working. I don't know. That's the only
35:31explanation I can think of to why the
35:33delves actually have their own loading
35:34screen.
35:36Now, I'm not going to do the full
35:37gigantic pull for Calamitus here. I'm
35:40just going to do the robots.
35:42So, we're going to do this,
35:45but it is still worth it to do the main
35:47robots there. You may as well. You have
35:49to do uh pull here at the start
35:52regardless. So, you may as well make it
35:55count.
35:57[ __ ] I keep hitting the wrong key.
36:04hitting the wrong key again.
36:09My uh I I'm very nervous. I should note
36:12this is in case it isn't clear already.
36:15My route was already very complicated.
36:18Integrating things like prey and as
36:20you'll see abundance very shortly. I
36:23mean it is
36:26it's a nightmare to keep track of all of
36:27this. This is why also, I'm sure I
36:29mentioned this in the start, you know,
36:32people wonder why not like set the
36:33add-on up first. How would I get this
36:36working in the add-on to a degree where
36:37it would like meaningfully help me
36:39during this speedrun? It's already so
36:41hard to keep track of everything in my
36:43head. And this is all like theoretical,
36:45right? And sometimes, literally like an
36:48hour or two before I recorded this run,
36:51I did a test run and some of the stuff
36:53that I was initially planning to do, I
36:55did a test run and I realized, oh [ __ ]
36:57this doesn't work. Uh, one of the big
36:58ones that forced me to do redo the
37:00routing is like picking up the level 80
37:02gear from the renown vendors. So, I had
37:04to fundamentally change the routing as a
37:08result of that. And it's um like imagine
37:11if I had already went in and coded that
37:14entire route and then after I've already
37:16coded it, I'm like, "Oh [ __ ] this
37:17doesn't work." Then I have to go back
37:19and change the code, which like I can
37:21do, but it's like that would be so much
37:23wasted time when I could instead just
37:25theory craft the route in my head, then
37:27do a test run. And like this is the test
37:30run you're seeing, and this is only like
37:31the second test run. This is the first
37:33real test run where I actually tried and
37:35sit down and do the entire thing start
37:36to finish. The alternative is I just I
37:39do I do this, right? And then I just
37:42don't record it and I just get a really
37:44good run and then just don't share it
37:45with anybody until I've already made the
37:47add-on and then already done another run
37:49after that, which like that's
37:52ridiculous, right? I'm not doing that.
37:55So, uh this is this is unfortunately the
37:58way that I have to go about it. But I
38:01don't know. I think it could also be
38:02kind of interesting to see like the in
38:05real time problem solving process
38:07because it is not easy to theory craft
38:10all this stuff.
38:17Okay, it's one of the nice things about
38:19Calamitus, you also get all these mobs
38:21that you can get decent mob kill XP
38:24from. I'm going to now that I've
38:25finished the objective though, I'm going
38:27to run to the boss. Some of these will
38:29follow me, but it's more important that
38:32I kill this guy really quickly.
38:36And because of the scaling penalty from
38:38Blizzard, I I can't one-shot this guy
38:43in here, but I can do this. And then
38:48hopefully
38:51I really Okay, the the damage penalty
38:54from that channel kind of [ __ ] me a
38:56little bit. Uh, I actually did get just
38:58get a really good trinket. I can't do
39:00that while jumping or falling. I can't
39:02do that right now because I'm stuck in
39:03combat. If you're far enough away from
39:05mobs that are fighting you, you can
39:07leave early. Uh, unfortunately
39:10could not.
39:13Now I should be able to. Yeah. All
39:15right. Cool. Overall, pretty fun.
39:19Okay. And now uh one of the nice things
39:21is because uh I have my European account
39:24now I can very easily tell which delves
39:27are going to be active. So as my prey
39:30Okay, my prey isn't reset. Wow, that's
39:32actually really lucky that it's right
39:33there. Uh my prey is not reset. It's
39:36just the world quest resets. That's
39:39actually completely fine. That actually
39:41honestly kind of worked out. Uh all
39:43right, we're going to do abundance.
39:45We're going to talk to you harvest and
39:48then
39:50abundance without you.
39:52>> That doesn't kill me, right? Yeah.
39:53Terrifies me doing that jump in all the
39:56testing I've done for this, but it
39:58doesn't kill you, so it's fine.
40:01Uh, now, I'll be honest, I very rarely
40:03do the voidstorm abundance,
40:07so I have no idea if there's a more
40:09efficient path to take. One of the nice
40:12things, though, is I did test it. You
40:14only get progress for the quest when you
40:16exit the finalized scenario. like you
40:19have to actually finish the entire
40:20thing. So, I experimented with like
40:23trying to quickly hit 2k abundance or
40:25whatever it is and then after I hit the
40:27amount like just leave early just so I
40:29can turn in the quest faster. That
40:31doesn't work. So, as long as abundance
40:33is worth doing, which I've tested enough
40:35to say like, yeah, 3 minutes for what is
40:37effectively a bonus delver's call quest.
40:39Like that delve of Calamitus, I don't
40:41think that was 3 minutes, right? That
40:43was That was probably a little bit
40:45longer, but it's about the speed of
40:48Adele. Now, Delver's Call does give more
40:50XP than this now. But this is basically
40:52like an old Delver's Call quest for 3
40:55minutes. Like, yeah, that that's
40:56worthwhile in my opinion at least. So, I
41:00think it's worth including abundance.
41:02And as long as I do this well enough to
41:05do it all in one go and not have to do
41:07it a second time, which would be
41:09disastrous, then we're fine. And I've
41:12done this one enough to where I have
41:14like I have a decent strategy figured
41:16out for it. And I was able to over
41:19multiple attempts consistently get to
41:22the uh the full score. So I think I'm
41:24probably fine.
41:29Uh up here. I'm kind of nervous though
41:32because I I do need to
41:35I have no way to really track that I
41:37know of how much abundance I've gotten
41:40until the run ends. At least for the
41:42purposes of the score because it is very
41:45unreliable in my experience, what it
41:48actually tells you you have versus what
41:50it says you get at the end. So, I'm just
41:52trying to do as much as I possibly can.
41:54That way there is no chance that I [ __ ]
41:56it up.
42:07>> Do this.
42:14Having rushi wraps for those like damage
42:16procs. Honestly, for a nonDPS, it
42:19probably won't matter quite as much, but
42:21I mean, it's still a really good cloak
42:23to have no matter what.
42:32Let's grab all this stuff. Get this.
42:36This definitely feels like it's enough.
42:45>> Get whatever I can. Tell me it's enough.
42:48It is enough. All right, we're not going
42:50to turn this in, though. One of the cool
42:51things about abundance is it also
42:53functions like all the delas calls where
42:55you can wait until the very end to turn
42:57it in. I'm going to grab easy traps like
42:59that just because at this point it does
43:01seem like we'll be able to finish the
43:03prey as planned. So, I can I can just
43:07make sure that I actually get that done.
43:10the fact that I get this gives XP, by
43:12the way. It doesn't give uh world quests
43:14in general don't give uh full quests
43:16worth of XP, but the fact that this
43:18directly overlaps, uh it's honestly
43:20going to be a little bit awkward because
43:21this is the one where there's like all
43:23the patrols and whatnot. And I'm going
43:25to have to make sure that I do the quest
43:27here already while looking out for it. I
43:29did not plan for this to overlap as well
43:31as it did, by the way. That is quite
43:32lucky. I'm kind of, you know, I didn't
43:35plan for it considering it only popped
43:36up after the reset. That is just one of
43:39those. The game feels bad for making my
43:41life a living hell with the uh the PTR
43:44and whatnot. And it's uh throwing me a
43:46bone here. Make sure my warrior doesn't
43:48um DC. Okay, so how do I want to do
43:51this?
43:55Uh
43:57I need to not let that hit me. It
44:00wouldn't really be a big deal. It would
44:02just make it so
44:05Oh, I am in the middle of this goop.
44:09That is actually not good. That is bad.
44:13Uh, never mind. I kind of just killed
44:16them all. Uh, I think Touch of Karma
44:19made that a lot easier. Yeah, I'm
44:21definitely I am I'm kind of dying a
44:24little bit here.
44:28Okay, we're fine. We're fine.
44:30I'm honestly I'm just going to slam a
44:32health pot. Uh this thing's right here.
44:36This is also, by the way, like how would
44:38I ever possibly account for this in Fall
44:40the Arrow? Um obviously you're going to
44:43want to do Prey no matter what. But how
44:45would I integrate prey cleanly into Fall
44:48the Arrow? Other than what I'm going to
44:49do is I'm basically going to have like a
44:51big explanation section where it's like
44:53here's all the things you need to keep
44:54in mind and then it is on you as you run
44:57through it to make judgment calls and
44:59kind of adapt your personal run on the
45:01fly depending on what prey objectives
45:03and stuff you get. It's just so random
45:05that I can never account for that. I
45:08just I need to basically tell you the
45:09the gist of it and then you have to
45:11figure out the specifics,
45:13>> which um I mean honestly though, I feel
45:15like that leveling is always more fun
45:16when you actually have to use your
45:18brain. Well, I think that or I would be
45:21the one writing the guides, but I guess
45:23a lot of people use my guides, so they
45:25want to use their brain as little as
45:26possible, which like, you know, I get
45:28it, but sometimes like I can't I can't
45:33do everything. There's uh certain things
45:36that the player will have to figure out
45:37on their own. I need one more pedal. Uh
45:43where where might I find that?
45:47There we go. Not having my I think
45:49that's outline mode that I just don't
45:51have enabled. Am I I'm not in combat.
45:54And then I could probably turn this in
45:58and then I should be fine.
46:01Do I need to rebuff at all? A good
46:03opportunity to rebuff would actually be
46:06right here.
46:10So, I need to wait on this role play.
46:12So, I may as well do that at some point.
46:14Uh, and then, oh [ __ ] I I messed this
46:17up. Actually, not a big deal. But I have
46:19to administer the antidote first and
46:21then the role play happens. Uh, in that
46:24case, while I wait, I will my bags and
46:28also equip. Do I want to equip this just
46:30yet? I don't think I want to just yet.
46:33Um, yeah, because in war mode, the
46:36benefit of this is actually really good.
46:37But it is nice to at least have a good
46:39trinket because when I'm in delves, that
46:41actually will be a lot more beneficial.
46:43Okay, now I have these quests. So, I saw
46:48that the other parts of this prey
46:50objective were overlapping here. So, I'm
46:52going to try and knock them out. Oh,
46:53yeah, that actually lines up perfectly.
46:57Um, let's do
47:00nice. and hit the pistol and ooze. Uh,
47:03and then I can
47:05do this. How am I looking on time? 38
47:09minutes. That's one of the other things
47:11that's going to be a little bit hard to
47:12figure out with this. You do a lot more
47:15stuff in the leadup. So,
47:18to give you an idea of what this is
47:20going to look like, you skip the final
47:22five levels now. That's how crazy this
47:24end segment is. It's um it's a lot. So,
47:30it's going to look like, wow, this is
47:32really slow. You're getting like no
47:33experience. I've not necessarily with um
47:36this route, but I've had some people
47:39misunderstand that. Uh there's been a
47:41few people who've told me that they know
47:43faster ways to get from level 10 to 20
47:45compared to my runs. And I try to
47:48explain to them that like in the first
47:50like 5 to 10 levels, I am doing like a
47:52lot of setup. Like there's a lot of time
47:54where I'm basically gaining no
47:55experience because I'm basically setting
47:56some something up for either like 30
47:58minutes later or like darkman fair buffs
48:00getting that set up. That takes time and
48:02you're not gaining experience, but
48:03obviously it is worth it to do that.
48:07Um, okay. I do not have the prey active
48:09yet. There's a chance I get another
48:11ambush, so I'm not going to go out of my
48:14way to do anything extra until then.
48:20and do this.
48:22Collect void essence.
48:25Um,
48:27okay, that's fine. That's really
48:28unfortunate getting stuck in combat. I'm
48:30on top of a trap. I may as well pick it
48:32up. Uh, okay. Fall the arrow wants me to
48:35get essence here now. I know for a fact
48:36that I can get essence during the next
48:38quest, too. Um,
48:41and actually, oh, that's I'm kind of
48:43glad that I forgot I coded it like that
48:46where it tells you to do that, but then
48:48it doesn't stop you if you're one short.
48:52Uh, it will let you override it and it
48:54won't hold you hostage on that step. So,
48:56that is good. Uh, I'm going to just do
48:58one more big pull here.
49:01I'm hoping that I get ambushed. Worst
49:03case it is, you know, mob kill XP,
49:05right?
49:06I didn't. But we get our last essence
49:08for born killer. Uh the prey is ready
49:11almost any second now. So come on. There
49:15we go. And please tell me I got lucky.
49:19He's right. It is right there. There's
49:21no way. All right. That is that is a
49:24little bit insane for luck. Uh goes to
49:27show though prey can be really good if
49:29you get like extremely lucky. Uh
49:30definitely worth including for leveling.
49:32I didn't even know this was a prey
49:33location. I've never gotten this one
49:35before. That's wild. Uh, can I just
49:38Todd? I can just Todd. All right,
49:40[ __ ] child's play. Uh, I almost I
49:44tried to loot the mob. I almost clicked
49:45the portal to Silver Moon. That would
49:46have been uh it would have been bad,
49:49honestly. Would not have been the worst
49:50thing ever, though.
49:53Uh, okay. Let's
49:56>> You know what? I I should have I should
49:58have taken Zenith, honestly. It's fine.
50:00I've already done shadow guard points.
50:02Uh what I am going to do though is this
50:06is correct right I can I can now take
50:08the portal. Uh I forgot about the
50:10portal. If I had remembered that I would
50:11have actually done the turn in first
50:13then gone back. Lost like I don't know
50:1610 seconds travel time if that.
50:21All right. And the nice thing about this
50:23is we can immediately go ahead and pick
50:26this up. Now we're going to do Everong
50:28Woods.
50:31Uh, am I missing anything?
50:36>> No.
50:42No.
50:44I'm trying to think, is there anything
50:45else that I need to do? Because
50:47obviously Follow the Arrow is telling me
50:48like I've done everything. I can go now,
50:50right? Um,
50:52but there's a lot of like adapting that
50:56I need to do.
50:58I think I've done everything though.
51:04I'm pretty sure it's fine. You're going
51:06to get to see my warrior. There's my
51:08warrior. I actually I need to make sure
51:10I don't auto attack my warrior.
51:13>> Um,
51:16>> so yeah, want to make sure I don't
51:17accidentally click on that. Uh, I'm
51:19going to walk in here. This is something
51:20I know I need to do. I need to set my
51:22Hearthstone here. You'll see how that's
51:24relevant soon. And then I forgot to I
51:28forgot to pick this up. Honestly fine,
51:30though. Didn't really lose any time.
51:34Okay, honestly. Okay, we we'll do that
51:36afterwards. There's a big cluster
51:38actually right here. That's perfect. Do
51:40I get all three? I barely missed that
51:43one. It's fine, though. Uh something you
51:45can do here, you can interact with this,
51:46then hit stop casting. So, that is you
51:49type slash stop casting, all one word,
51:52and it cancels that thing. So you can
51:55immediately remount. I have it macroed
51:57so it just types that in chat so I can
51:59do that without having to manually type
52:01it, but it is worth doing. Uh saves a
52:03lot of time on this quest. And now we're
52:06going to Okay, I already I'm just going
52:09to let the arrow update properly so I
52:11don't need to deal with it being behind.
52:13Uh I did that out of order. That's not
52:15me.
52:20Uh okay. Okay, I forgot I already that.
52:31And then we need to do lynxes. I need
52:34two more. Nice. Already got an ambush.
52:36Uh I can just tod this, right?
52:39Yes. Oh, I accidentally hit drums. All
52:42right. Well, that's it's whatever. Uh
52:44there should be Yeah. Little blood
52:46globial. Then we're going to
52:50civilization like
52:51>> to this
52:57and then head over here do sharp m so
53:00that's the thing right like everong is
53:02we already got enough progress in
53:04voidtorm to get credit for the prey uh
53:06everong is such a gigantic zone pretty
53:09much entirely just by doing ambushes you
53:13should be able to get credit for the
53:14prey so like I saw a lot of people
53:17debating on like whether or not prey is
53:19like fast enough to justify doing. Well,
53:21you can't spam it. You can only do those
53:23four. So, if you can just do it entirely
53:26passively as you do other activities, it
53:28is basically a free 100k XP. The way
53:32that you should think about it is think
53:33of it as a quest that rewards 100k XP
53:36that just requires you to kill a
53:37singular mob. We already do wanted
53:39quests that give 20k XP. That's
53:42considered to be efficient. So, 100k XP
53:44is like really, really, really good. the
53:46amount of downtime that you lose having
53:48to like fight the prey ambushes is next
53:50to nothing. So if it can overlap, then
53:54it's just really really really efficient
54:00and drop off here.
54:05>> Uh missing
54:07how many lightworms? Okay, this is
54:09enough. Get one more for good measure
54:12just because that gives me more mob kill
54:13XP. Never hurts. It's not a lot, but it
54:16all adds up.
54:19Do this. I have 14 minutes. What do I
54:23still need? Uh, I need to trap the
54:25links. Right. Right. Right. All right.
54:28See,
54:30we're going to fly over here. Turn this
54:33in.
54:34is clearly out of control.
54:36>> This
54:44>> uh when I get a chance, I should also
54:50>> um
54:52>> I'm actually going to use Arcantina key
54:54on my warrior. That way, the next time I
54:55get to the Arcantina, I will already
54:57have it preloaded.
55:00Okay, I'm going to pick uh magesters.
55:03>> The initial quest gives you a little bit
55:05of XP. Then I'm going to go over to
55:07blood knights.
55:09>> Uh I will talk more about these choices
55:11in a little bit.
55:14>> Uh this doesn't matter by the way.
55:16Technically, you don't need to do any of
55:18this. This is this is all of them,
55:20right? Yeah. And then we go over to
55:22where's magesters is here. Do this. Get
55:26the magesters quest. Okay, so the only
55:30thing that matters for South Oral Suare
55:32that like you really need to make sure
55:34you do is the runeststone quest. That is
55:37very critical. That is like it it's the
55:40same no matter which one you pick. All
55:42of them give the exact same reward for
55:44that. So in some ways your choice here
55:47doesn't matter at all.
55:49However, what you'll notice is I just
55:52picked up two quests from uh Blood
55:56Knights that require me to chastise
55:58eight Tideborn and pick up Tideborn
56:01Deloons, which drop off these mobs. Now,
56:04if you already know how this route goes,
56:06you'll know we do these quests anyway.
56:08This is already part of the alt route.
56:10So, there's two bonus quests from the
56:12Blood Knights that directly overlap with
56:15the existing route. That is just
56:17extremely good. That is like really
56:19really worthwhile. Technically that has
56:21always been a thing and I was already
56:23considering including this in an updated
56:26version of the route and then Blizzard
56:27just made it so the runest quest got
56:30massively buffed. So I was like all
56:31right well definitely including it. Now
56:34the problem with this is
56:37some weeks these are the available blood
56:39knight quests. Now, uh, the every single
56:43faction
56:45has like a limited pool of quests that
56:47it can choose from. So, you'll never be
56:49able to get these quests from anything
56:51other than blood knights. And in my
56:53experience, blood knights kind of just
56:55across the board have the best quests.
56:56So, you're always going to want to pick
56:58them up. Either they are completely
56:59free. They directly overlap part of the
57:01campaign. You'll also notice there's one
57:03down here. Kill a single mob directly
57:04along the campaign route. That's just
57:06really, really, really good.
57:09Uh, okay. We're going to
57:12What am I missing? I have both of them,
57:15right? Oh, yeah. I'm I'm just I don't
57:17know why it I was slow to process that.
57:21So, either it is directly overlapping
57:24the existing campaign route or
57:28it is um like a very very minor detour
57:31that is extremely fast to complete. So,
57:33Blood Knights, in my opinion, is just
57:36really good. And for speedruns, you're
57:38almost always going to want to pick
57:39them. Here's the problem. The choice is
57:41not character specific. It is
57:43accountwide. So, if somebody is trying
57:46to unlock the uh like the cosmetics or
57:48whatever for magesters, then presumably
57:51they would want to pick magesters. And
57:52if the speedrun guide tells them, "Hey,
57:55you should pick this one because it's
57:56slightly faster for leveling," they're
57:58going to say, "Well, [ __ ] that. I want
58:00to get my cosmetics. I don't want to
58:01waste my reputation for the week. So,
58:04obviously for a speedrun, I'm going to
58:06pick what's fastest. I normally picked
58:08blood knights anyway. I also just like
58:09the blood knight stuff more, so it kind
58:11of works out well for me. But I am not
58:14going to include that in Fall of the
58:15Arrow. I will put a note, I will explain
58:17this in the add-on and basically say if
58:19you're going for speed, pick blood
58:20knights and then uh usually Farst
58:22Riders. In my experience, Farst Riders
58:25more often than not has the um the
58:28better choices. In this particular case,
58:30I chose to go with uh right. It's not I
58:34was wondering why I couldn't see the
58:35crates. They're not highlighted because
58:36I don't have outline mode turned on. I
58:38wish I realized that. It's making my
58:40life a little bit difficult here, but
58:43it's fine.
58:45Uh sometimes there's a quest that
58:47overlaps this area uh to kill the Naga.
58:49Um there's a bunch of ones that are
58:51really good. Uh, Farst Riders has a few
58:53quests that overlap with some of the
58:55side quest chains that we do in the
58:57eastern end of the zone, which is why I
58:59usually do those. And in this case,
59:02Magesters, most Magisters quests I've
59:05done are not fast. This week just so
59:07happens to have one of the few Magisters
59:09quests as uh one of the really really
59:12good ones. It's also kind of
59:13inconsistent because there are sometimes
59:16where the order in which you spend your
59:18favor will make a difference where the
59:20very first quest that you'll get if you
59:22spend a favor is the one that gives you
59:24the really good bonus.
59:26And then there are other times when it's
59:29like the third quest that you get. So
59:31you would have to like invest an extra
59:34amount of like South's favor into
59:36getting the correct pick. It It's weird
59:38how it works. And all of those side
59:41quests, by the way, just give a regular
59:43quests worth of experience. Now, that's
59:45still good, right? If it's completely
59:47free XP, if it directly overlaps the
59:49route, that's just that's free. We love
59:52that. But is it so critical that if you
59:55don't do it, you're like falling behind
59:57the route or whatever? No. It it really
59:59does not matter all that much. Um I
1:00:01believe it is it's not this one. [ __ ]
1:00:04it is this one. I always can't remember.
1:00:07Whatever.
1:00:09just kill these mobs. I lose. I need to
1:00:11get this out of my face. Uh, but I'd
1:00:14have to unfuck my UI for that to happen.
1:00:19Okay, let me sure. My warrior doesn't
1:00:21AFK out. Get this. Did I I didn't use I
1:00:26thought I used the arcane time piece. I
1:00:28guess maybe it resets if you go too far
1:00:29away.
1:00:36>> Let's quickly get this
1:00:39ambushed. All right, perfect.
1:00:44And we'll to that uh loot the objective
1:00:48and then
1:00:51[ __ ] I accidentally hit that up. Uh
1:00:55should be fine.
1:00:57>> And then we just need to do this here,
1:01:02this here,
1:01:06and then we turn this in.
1:01:09and we do this quest. Also, another
1:01:11thing is I I was a little bit on the
1:01:14fence about whether to include the um
1:01:16the quest where you have to wait on the
1:01:18role play to get the dog. And a bunch of
1:01:21people have like thought Oh, [ __ ]
1:01:24I got a little bit ahead of myself.
1:01:25Forgot to actually pick up the quest. Uh
1:01:28lost a little bit of time here. That's
1:01:30fine.
1:01:32Um here while I wait there was I can
1:01:37check my prey seeker box also. There was
1:01:40something I needed to do. Armor kits.
1:01:42Yes, I need to apply that.
1:01:51Check that. Reapply that. Uh what else?
1:01:55Reuse flask. Really long respawn time. I
1:01:57kind of [ __ ] myself with this. Um, I
1:02:00mean, I only I'm losing barely any time,
1:02:02but it's still annoying that it's like
1:02:04this long of a wait. God damn. Okay, I
1:02:08almost want to just leave because this
1:02:11is really, really, really unfortunate
1:02:13that it is this random quest mob has
1:02:15such a long respawn. I'm going to look
1:02:17for uh Yeah, just kill a rare.
1:02:21Doesn't rares don't really give great
1:02:23XP, but I mean, if I It's either this or
1:02:26I sit here and wait.
1:02:27>> Yeah, they don't give a full quest. It's
1:02:29like a tiny little bit. I got a trinket
1:02:31though, which um I will hold on to. I
1:02:35can equip that the next time I enter
1:02:36delves to get slightly better scaling.
1:02:44>> All right. And then we do this.
1:02:47Now, I was going to say uh the dog quest
1:02:50can be good for uh like clearing out
1:02:53your bags and stuff like that, but I did
1:02:54just kind of do that because I I [ __ ]
1:02:56up. But I'm going to do it anyway. Uh,
1:02:58the unfortunate thing is you can't just
1:03:00run away and do other things while you
1:03:02wait. Uh, I'm going to do this.
1:03:06[ __ ] it. I'll do it. Yeah, I'll do it
1:03:07anyway. I need to clear out my bags a
1:03:09little bit regardless.
1:03:11Uh, it probably doesn't matter all that
1:03:13much, but
1:03:15I'd like to just not have to worry about
1:03:16having lots of clutter.
1:03:20>> Uh, yeah. Actually, I don't need any of
1:03:22this stuff. All I really need is
1:03:25vendor that, too. Uh, Void Reaper's
1:03:28Liram as a replacement for when I do
1:03:29delves will be good. Um, but yeah, this
1:03:32quest is nice just because a lot of
1:03:33times like you just sit here. I do think
1:03:35it is a little bit slow, but whatever.
1:03:39It's um,
1:03:42yeah, like look at this before it turns
1:03:44in. It does give a full quest worth of
1:03:45XP. Like
1:03:48I don't know. It's definitely like
1:03:50borderline whether or not that's
1:03:51actually worth doing,
1:03:54but enough people have told me that they
1:03:55think it's worth doing. And you know,
1:03:58who am I to to argue that much? If I
1:04:01already think it's kind of like on the
1:04:02fence, then I'm I'll just [ __ ] it. Sure.
1:04:08>> Um,
1:04:10>> oh, I was going to say, why isore
1:04:12yapping? Uh, it's because the prey
1:04:14objective directly overlaps. Oh, that is
1:04:16wild, actually. Uh, what would be fun is
1:04:20if I don't finish my prey shortly, I can
1:04:23in theory get this and get an extra 12k
1:04:26XP. That goes away though the moment
1:04:28that I actually finish the prey.
1:04:32So, if I get ambushed, that would
1:04:34actually be kind of awkward because then
1:04:36this extra world quest thing would be
1:04:40lost.
1:04:41So, I actually I don't want to defeat
1:04:43this ambush.
1:04:45Uh, it's kind of going to be hard to not
1:04:47though. Like I have to actively try to
1:04:49not kill the prey. They're going to just
1:04:51get creeped down. This ambush. Yeah.
1:04:55Oh, one of the weird situations where I
1:04:57would have rathered it didn't activate.
1:05:00Um, but what are you going to do? I lose
1:05:0212k XP and I I tried. Um,
1:05:06>> the game just decided that that was the
1:05:08perfect time for an ambush and uh it's
1:05:11um yeah, it's what it is.
1:05:15Oh, there the funny thing here is
1:05:16there's another world quest. So, I was
1:05:18wondering why it was down here. There
1:05:21was a world quest and there was a prey
1:05:23quest and then the regular quest
1:05:24requires me to kill a bunch of mobs
1:05:26here. There were like three things
1:05:27overlapping. That kind of worked out
1:05:29quite well.
1:05:31Uh, then we do the runstone quest.
1:05:36Uh, I need to be watching my XP pretty
1:05:39closely.
1:05:44Uh, so level 85 is the point at which I
1:05:48uh Where is my prey? Over there. That
1:05:50actually that's fine. I can manage that.
1:05:53>> Um,
1:05:59what I need to decide on now is how many
1:06:01side quests I'm going to do. I'm I'd
1:06:04like to do the campaign up until Shadow
1:06:07Enclave,
1:06:09but I like I don't need to technically.
1:06:14Uh I need to loot them up. Right. Right.
1:06:18>> So, this is why a lot of times people
1:06:19say like, "Why do you always loot mobs?"
1:06:21It's because sometimes if I'm in the
1:06:23mindset of I need to not loot mobs to
1:06:25basically save time, then there's a
1:06:27quest where you do need to loot it and
1:06:29then you can actually lose time. It's
1:06:30just easier to have one consistent set
1:06:32of muscle memory and uh just go with
1:06:34that.
1:06:37>> All right.
1:06:39>> So, some of these quests as part of the
1:06:41campaign are a little bit slow.
1:06:44>> Uh I also I I was a I messed up a little
1:06:47bit. This is one of those where like
1:06:49adapting can be a little bit tricky. I'm
1:06:52going to go back with this especially
1:06:54cuz Oria takes a little bit of time to
1:06:56do her role play anyway. Um, but there's
1:06:59this quest over here that I forgot to do
1:07:01because obviously I was blindly
1:07:03following the arrow and I forgot that
1:07:05that is uh one of the objectives I
1:07:08picked up.
1:07:12But you can see I mean that boom, done.
1:07:16Mob's dead. Easy peasy.
1:07:22And now I'm also going to I'm going to
1:07:24fly over here. Going to finish that
1:07:25quest. And you can see this runstone is
1:07:28already fully activated because I did
1:07:30this in advance. So
1:07:34I can I can wait. Arrator. Oh, Artor is
1:07:37a little bit slow.
1:07:39Going to talk to him. Pick this up.
1:07:41We're going to skip the conversation.
1:07:43Then do this. And now the boss is just
1:07:47sitting here waiting to be killed.
1:07:50>> Now I don't know how strong these bosses
1:07:52are relative to a leveling character.
1:07:55Uh they definitely are quite beefy.
1:08:07Armor that I hate. If you get a reset
1:08:11and you're tapping too quickly. So this
1:08:13still takes like a decent amount of time
1:08:16for me to kill. Now the way to think
1:08:18about this is the time it takes me to
1:08:19kill this mob. This is 100k XP. So it is
1:08:24worth it. Uh the this mob has got
1:08:26[ __ ] hands though, not gonna lie.
1:08:30Uh I can finish off some of the ending
1:08:33with Todd.
1:08:35Dude, I I I don't know why I press
1:08:38Rising Sunkick once, but like I kind of
1:08:40tap my keys really quickly and that's
1:08:41enough to sometimes trigger the the
1:08:43double tap.
1:08:55We're close.
1:08:58Uh, am I close enough to where?
1:09:06>> Yep. Todd. Nice. All right. So, that for
1:09:09yeah, a little over 100k because
1:09:11obviously that's with the warb bands
1:09:12bonus and darkman fair. Uh, definitely
1:09:14worth it to do that. And on live
1:09:17servers, you won't even need to do that.
1:09:18live servers, you just other people will
1:09:20probably be killing it. You wait for it
1:09:21to almost be dead. You walk in, you tag
1:09:23it, and uh boom, you're good to go.
1:09:28All right. Uh
1:09:31>> I think all other side quests from this
1:09:33point on in Everong I am not going to
1:09:36do. I think
1:09:38>> uh I am
1:09:40>> we're at one hour.
1:09:43Yeah, I It's kind of interesting. I was
1:09:47curious whether sub one hour would be
1:09:49possible.
1:09:50I think um it might be with the 30%
1:09:54buff, but the problem is like everybody
1:09:57all they think about is oh if you have
1:10:00uh if you have like so much bonus
1:10:02experience, you can just turn in at
1:10:04level whatever and then immediately hit
1:10:06the max level. It's like well yeah, but
1:10:08you still got to do the delves, right?
1:10:10So, yes, it'll cut out a lot of the
1:10:12stuff after the fact, but the time it
1:10:14takes to do every single delve, like
1:10:16that is still something.
1:10:18Will it reach a point where you don't
1:10:20even need to do this part of the
1:10:21campaign? Like, most likely if I had 30%
1:10:23XP at this point, I'd probably just
1:10:25break off and do um only uh only Shadow
1:10:29Enclave. But I figure I need enough
1:10:32still. And this part of the campaign is
1:10:35not bad, right? to where if I'm gonna do
1:10:38something, I may as well do this because
1:10:40then I get the quest that directly
1:10:41overlaps with the campaign.
1:10:45So, it's just worthwhile.
1:10:49>> Uh
1:10:51yeah, my goal for this run is sub hour
1:10:56and a half, which it's going to be a
1:10:59little bit closer than I had hoped,
1:11:02>> but I think it is still possible.
1:11:06probably it's going to be it's going to
1:11:07be tight. Going to be very tight for
1:11:08sure.
1:11:10>> Um
1:11:16they're preparing for something
1:11:19>> this
1:11:22>> this
1:11:27>> and then I think that is enough right?
1:11:29Yeah. Then I talk to you
1:11:33then uh
1:11:36Oh, I I was so fast that I actually
1:11:38didn't hit the um the trigger in my
1:11:40add-on to register it as complete.
1:11:43Sometimes that's what happens, right? I
1:11:45have no way to track specific little
1:11:47objectives like that. So, uh but it does
1:11:50override once the quest is complete. You
1:11:52can see it. It overrides to say, "Oh, I
1:11:54must have missed something." And then go
1:11:56to the
1:11:56>> end
1:12:04here. Uh talk to her.
1:12:08Who's my warrior?
1:12:18>> Okay.
1:12:19>> So, after I do after I do shadow
1:12:21enclave, it's going to be wait for him
1:12:24to stop moving.
1:12:27>> Uh, tell Lord Antonorian.
1:12:30>> I'm going to do shadow enclave. Then I'm
1:12:32going to exit. I'm going to do prey.
1:12:35Then after the prey, I'm going to take
1:12:36the portal to Silver Moon.
1:12:39>> I'm going to get the um just Todd that
1:12:41guy. Portal to Silver Moon, pick up
1:12:43Zullemon prey.
1:12:47>> Then I'm going to get Regent's Request.
1:12:49That's another reason to continue doing
1:12:51the campaign. Regent's Request is a
1:12:52really good side quest chain, and it is
1:12:54locked behind the shadow enclave step of
1:12:57the main campaign.
1:12:59Um,
1:13:04>> yeah, the arrow is not tracking properly
1:13:06here because I was a little bit too far
1:13:07away.
1:13:08>> Uh, hard to make this work completely
1:13:10perfectly, but it's fine.
1:13:12>> Do this. Do that. I did get both quests,
1:13:16right? Yeah. Okay, cool.
1:13:18Uh, okay. I need to
1:13:21>> Oh, no. I was I was going to say was a
1:13:24little bit too fast. All right, talk to
1:13:25the citizen then.
1:13:30uh
1:13:38>> trying to think through my routing cuz I
1:13:39have so the problem with a run like this
1:13:42is until you actually sit down and do it
1:13:44and like put it into practice. Like I
1:13:47can theorize what the most efficient
1:13:50sets of quests are, but proximity and
1:13:54like prerequisites are also a big
1:13:55factor, which is why like, you know,
1:13:57regions request could be really good,
1:13:58but again, there is a prere for it. So
1:14:00then I have to think about like, okay,
1:14:03do I have enough experience left to do
1:14:04both of those? If I only had enough
1:14:06experience left to do just the campaign,
1:14:09then it would be a little bit tricky
1:14:11because one of the main advantages of
1:14:12doing more of the campaign wouldn't be
1:14:14included. So then if we take that out of
1:14:16the equation, then it might no longer be
1:14:19one of the most efficient things that I
1:14:20could be doing and it might be worth it
1:14:22to go onto something else. So like
1:14:24everything is shifting around. There's
1:14:26so many variables when it comes to World
1:14:27of Warcraft leveling, which is one of
1:14:28the reasons why I think it's so much
1:14:30fun. Um like the planning the perfect
1:14:33route is really really really really
1:14:34tricky.
1:14:36And
1:14:39right now I'm trying to think ahead
1:14:41because I have a lot of like basically
1:14:43conditions planned of depending on
1:14:47depending on what I run into with uh
1:14:50like what experience level I end up
1:14:52getting by the end of like this part of
1:14:54the route. Uh there's some things that I
1:14:56could choose to do and not do because at
1:14:58level 85, level 85 is the cut off point.
1:15:01Um [ __ ] I don't want to go here.
1:15:04I mean it's whatever. Um,
1:15:08but keep in mind we're already almost at
1:15:10level 84 and I haven't done the final
1:15:13delves yet.
1:15:19>> Yeah, like I I haven't done um a lot of
1:15:22the delves and they give mob kill XP.
1:15:27>> [ __ ]
1:15:30And also I um when I say level 85 is the
1:15:32cut off, level 85 is not including south
1:15:35for
1:15:39honestly there's a chance I might not
1:15:40even need to do this. Like look if I
1:15:42don't need to do this part of the
1:15:43campaign
1:15:45>> then like it is what it is and then I
1:15:47know for the next run and then I can get
1:15:49even faster. The problem is like I can't
1:15:52>> I can't change my mind later on. So if I
1:15:56overshoot I overshoot. It is what it is.
1:15:59There's also a chance that like maybe
1:16:01you have so much XP you don't even need
1:16:02to do per Helen Plaza. Though I think
1:16:05with the changes with the buffs, it is
1:16:07more likely that perhapen Plaza is just
1:16:09worth doing and then you just need to
1:16:11figure out what else you don't include.
1:16:14And there's only a few more quests until
1:16:15I get to Shadow Enclave. So, at this
1:16:17point, like my decision-m at this point
1:16:19is like I'm already almost there. It's
1:16:21just like a bar or two remaining.
1:16:25Um,
1:16:26>> but I like I'm not going to do that
1:16:27other side quest chain. I'm going to
1:16:29skip that. [ __ ] hitting a tree.
1:16:32>> Uh, so I'm only going to do this leg of
1:16:34the campaign, these next two quests, and
1:16:36then we get Shadow Enclave.
1:16:39Technically, it's three quests cuz
1:16:40there's one that's just two death.
1:16:49See, I do that. I definitely I do the
1:16:52prey immediately.
1:17:00The thing that I I'm realizing though is
1:17:02I might not need to do regent request.
1:17:05And if I don't need to do regent
1:17:07request, then there is a case to be made
1:17:09of like I don't actually need to take
1:17:10the prey portal back to Sonun. Should I
1:17:12just go immediately into Zullean and not
1:17:14do that prey? Is it actually worth it? I
1:17:18>> I don't know.
1:17:23It's
1:17:23>> um
1:17:32>> It's tricky for sure. Oh, come on. Why
1:17:34can't I click
1:17:37and
1:17:39do to this
1:17:42little bit of RP?
1:17:50All right. To death home.
1:17:55>> We're definitely not doing the campaign
1:17:56beyond this point.
1:17:59>> That's not worth it.
1:18:03>> We are.
1:18:10>> Yeah. So, we we do this.
1:18:12>> Uh this is also so traders do. Yeah.
1:18:15This is one of the good ones.
1:18:17Move my warrior. Make sure it doesn't
1:18:19get logged out. Um,
1:18:23why it auto locked onto that cockroach.
1:18:27But if my auto attack has decided that
1:18:31it's going to kill the cockroach, I may
1:18:33as well tiger pom it. That's what it is.
1:18:36Unlucky for you, cockroach.
1:18:39All right, let's round this up.
1:18:46You
1:18:50Oh, I almost got uh bearded inside of
1:18:53that um
1:18:56that eyeball thing. I don't think that
1:18:57would have like Yeah, it probably would
1:18:59not have come close to killing me, but
1:19:01little spooky would not have been fun.
1:19:07Uh get this now.
1:19:10And
1:19:14uh for this you can pretty much just
1:19:16hold W and then just be aligned for the
1:19:18rituals. The cultist will follow you and
1:19:20you don't need to kill all of them. As
1:19:23long as you do this, that's all that
1:19:24matters. I'm going to potion here.
1:19:35All right.
1:19:39Make sure I at least get all the mobs
1:19:41chasing me. Uh, Valier is probably still
1:19:44going to get a lot of threat on those.
1:19:47Uh, can do a spinning crane kick. You
1:19:50see, I got a few mandate procs. Nice.
1:19:55And then I want to kill these ASAP so I
1:19:57can activate the
1:19:59uh this dude now.
1:20:03[ __ ] Uh, I want to save Todd here for
1:20:07Uh, the one that gets summoned after.
1:20:14>> Nice.
1:20:22>> And
1:20:23do this. Wait for fist of fury.
1:20:28Is this in the eyeball? No. Barely
1:20:30missed it.
1:20:32Oh well.
1:20:37do
1:20:38run or yeah, what is that ability?
1:20:41Whirling dragon punch. Uh, okay. I need
1:20:44to kill this mob. Uh, it's very
1:20:47important that I have Todd for Lord
1:20:49Antinorian, which I believe I will
1:20:51because he will
1:20:54>> he'll put like a little immunity on
1:20:56himself at certain points, which is
1:20:58really annoying. I'll deal with that
1:21:00later.
1:21:03I will not die.
1:21:16Oh, I have enough health. Nice. Oh,
1:21:18okay. Didn't matter. Uh, I do need to
1:21:22loot. Is it Antinorian or the chest? Uh,
1:21:26doesn't look like I need to loot the
1:21:28chest.
1:21:29Um,
1:21:31yeah, I think I can just leave now. It's
1:21:32fine. Okay, good, good, good.
1:21:37Uh, so I'm 84.
1:21:44Um,
1:21:47I don't think I do Zulleon at all.
1:21:50Yeah, I don't think I even bother doing
1:21:52Zulleon whatsoever.
1:21:56That's crazy that even without the 30%.
1:21:58I thought I was going to have to at
1:21:59least do parts of Zullemon. Obviously,
1:22:02if you don't have Darkman Fairbuff, if
1:22:04you don't have the Warband bonus, like
1:22:06you can do Zulan. Like, there's nothing
1:22:08wrong with that. And the the add-on will
1:22:11still have all of that part of the route
1:22:13like already included, ready to go.
1:22:17So,
1:22:19that's one of the nice things about
1:22:20this. Like as I add more things to
1:22:22follow the arrow, the existing things
1:22:24will still be there for anybody who
1:22:26falls a little bit behind. But a few
1:22:28people complain that like, oh, the the
1:22:30end of the route didn't give them enough
1:22:31XP. Well, now it 100% will. There is
1:22:34zero chance that you fall behind now.
1:22:38So now, now that I've done that prey and
1:22:40I'm already down here, uh, I can do a
1:22:43Talon and I can do Twilight Grips. And
1:22:47there if honestly I'm going to do that
1:22:50up to
1:22:51like that'll probably get me to level
1:22:5385.
1:22:56Almost got dismounted there.
1:23:00Uh and then if I'm not like level 85
1:23:03when I get to Ammaniar village after
1:23:05doing these two delves then wait no
1:23:08because it it 100% will right because
1:23:10I'm not even level 85 yet and I haven't
1:23:12even done Phelion Plaza and the Darkway.
1:23:15So,
1:23:17>> yeah.
1:23:20Yeah. So, when I do Paralian Plaza and
1:23:22the Darkway, that would be enough XP to
1:23:23make up for the difference. Almost
1:23:25certainly.
1:23:28>> Uh, all right. I need to This one I'm
1:23:31not as used to running. Uh, the thing
1:23:34about a Talon is kind of all of them are
1:23:37roughly the same speed. [ __ ] I got
1:23:39interrupted. That's really unfortunate.
1:23:41All right. Well, now I need to kill
1:23:43these mobs.
1:23:46This one I don't really like just
1:23:47because if you manage to get like um
1:23:51proper CCs and the mobs and you can get
1:23:53the totems and keep running, it's nice.
1:23:55But any sort of objective like this
1:23:58which requires you to
1:24:00that I actually I [ __ ] that up so bad.
1:24:03Uh that's fine though because I should
1:24:04be able to get this. Yeah,
1:24:07if you can do that and keep running
1:24:09then it's fine. Your life is mine.
1:24:14>> You're kidding me.
1:24:17And the issue with this is a lot of
1:24:19times it's really hard to tell if you're
1:24:20safe or not. I I right clicked that like
1:24:24multiple times. It did not go. Uh just
1:24:26because the bolts. So right there you
1:24:29can see. It looked like I was safe and
1:24:31then ah [ __ ] bolt from downtown
1:24:35like here. Necrotic bolt is almost
1:24:36certainly going to interrupt that but I
1:24:39get it. Nice.
1:24:42Okay.
1:24:46T that.
1:24:50Okay. Mandate going off.
1:24:53Uh let's see. I need one more totem and
1:24:56then I can just do a big pull and get
1:24:58the rest of the kill or kill percent.
1:25:15Okay, I'm going to loss. That way it
1:25:17doesn't interrupt me. Uh, the boss is up
1:25:21on this pavilion, I believe, if memory
1:25:23serves. This is the one where it spawns
1:25:26up here.
1:25:28So, okay, I'm lucky.
1:25:31Is dead somehow.
1:25:36Uh, missing
1:25:42die, please. I don't want a Todd because
1:25:44I want to have that for the boss. There
1:25:46we go.
1:25:53>> Should have saved cool downs at least.
1:25:56Uh, but I probably won't need
1:25:59that. Let's do this. Todd,
1:26:04nice.
1:26:06And then the other mob just bled out or
1:26:08something. I think Valyra killed it.
1:26:11I did pick up Delver's Call, right?
1:26:13Pretty sure I got that at the entrance.
1:26:16Um,
1:26:18yeah, I have it. Nice. Nice.
1:26:22Uh, I'm completely going off all the
1:26:24arrow at this point, but you know,
1:26:25that's what you got to do. Uh, then I do
1:26:27Twilight Crips next.
1:26:31Might be able to make it. It's got to be
1:26:33close. It's going to be really close.
1:26:36But
1:26:41>> how do I
1:26:50I might end up being like 1 hour 40
1:26:52minutes might be the time. Honestly, I
1:26:56mean, this is still a really good run.
1:26:57Like one hour sub one hour 30 was like a
1:27:00I think this is possible. And I
1:27:02definitely still think it's possible.
1:27:04Like if I had if I had known how much
1:27:07this was going to give, I might have
1:27:08done a slightly different route. I think
1:27:10instead of doing the end of that Everong
1:27:12campaign segment, what I probably would
1:27:14have done is gone to Zulan early and
1:27:19tried to get like Zulon Prey done
1:27:21alongside those side quests. that would
1:27:24have been slightly faster, but I don't
1:27:27know.
1:27:29We're like,
1:27:31it's really difficult at a certain point
1:27:33to save a meaningful amount of time.
1:27:38Let's just actually Todd him. We can
1:27:40continue. Uh there's a ritual mask here.
1:27:42This gives you bonus damage.
1:27:46Uh going to launch myself.
1:27:55Okay, I need to just beline. Is there I
1:27:58can't remember if there's a lever in
1:27:59there. There's not. Uh there is a lever.
1:28:04This is also one of the variants I'm not
1:28:06used to speedr runninging yet. This is
1:28:07where the lever is.
1:28:10Uh I normally like I do my runs on
1:28:13Calamitous Day. This is the first time
1:28:14I've actually tried to do this where I
1:28:16start on Calamitus and then do the day
1:28:17after that. The main reason I'm doing
1:28:19that is because the uh the variant on
1:28:22this daily delve cycle for Parhelion
1:28:25Plaza
1:28:26is significantly faster than the
1:28:29alternatives.
1:28:33So the real outliers
1:28:37are Calamitus for Shadowguard is
1:28:40significantly faster than any of its
1:28:42other versions. Um
1:28:47>> there is
1:28:49there's a few where like there is one
1:28:51day that has a really bad one like
1:28:53Mirror Shine is an outlier in a bad way
1:28:56for um what's it called? Uh Shadow
1:29:00Enclave. So you ideally [ __ ] you ideally
1:29:03don't want to do it on that day.
1:29:06And
1:29:09um then the only other really really
1:29:11really big outlier where like this is so
1:29:14much worse is Parhelion Plaza holding
1:29:18the line versus everything else.
1:29:22I did remember to get Delver's call,
1:29:24right? Okay, I did. Uh I'm going to have
1:29:27to kill all these mobs otherwise it
1:29:29won't let me do leave Delve. It's fine.
1:29:31I'll kill XP. Not that I really need a
1:29:34lot extra.
1:29:47>> Okay.
1:29:54How do I How do I want to do this?
1:30:07Um,
1:30:18>> okay. I know. I know. I know.
1:30:30Uh, do this.
1:30:41>> And then this this combined with one
1:30:44Delver's Call
1:30:46>> should barely put me into the next
1:30:49level.
1:30:56Yeah, if I didn't do that, then this
1:30:58would be giving me uh level 84 XP. Uh
1:31:01and then I think I hear Look, if I'm
1:31:03wrong, if I [ __ ] this up, I wormhole
1:31:07generator to Zulaman and I just do more
1:31:09side quests here. If I miscalculated,
1:31:13but I think I think we're fine. I think
1:31:20uh [ __ ] my warrior uh what I need to do
1:31:24on warrior right now is I need to
1:31:25generate a wormhole and head to Herandar
1:31:28and preload that
1:31:31so I don't get a long load screen.
1:31:38All right, we're going to do uh do I
1:31:40reenable it? No, just do that.
1:31:46All right,
1:31:54>> at this point it's faster to just fly
1:32:00>> than like Arcantina key from here. My
1:32:03warrior still on a rand loading screen,
1:32:05by the way, to give you an idea of how
1:32:06[ __ ] slow this is
1:32:09in the time it took me to do all of
1:32:10that. Still loading. Still loading. has
1:32:12the bar has not even started to fill.
1:32:18>> All right, we don't have dark way yet.
1:32:22So that's 86.
1:32:24Um
1:32:28and then
1:32:30and then now I should have waited I
1:32:32should have waited to turn that in.
1:32:35It's it's it's fine.
1:32:39I'm only I'm one level weaker. But
1:32:41actually, the irony is it really won't
1:32:42matter at all just because I
1:32:46I wanted to know where I was at in terms
1:32:48of mob kill or mob XP.
1:32:52Herandar just loaded in. Yeah. So,
1:32:54honestly, so glad I decided to do that.
1:32:57Um,
1:32:59sure do that.
1:33:02Uh,
1:33:04something so something a lot of people
1:33:06haven't realized yet. Uh, also you'll
1:33:09notice here, uh, it's it's hard to tell.
1:33:11I'll I'll actually I'll I was going to
1:33:13duck out of the way. You can see, look
1:33:14at the amount of XP that I got from
1:33:16this. So, that barely pushed me over
1:33:18into level 86 and then I got uh XP for
1:33:21it. Um, I lost a little bit on that
1:33:24first turn in, but it's only about 2k.
1:33:26So, a lot of people don't understand the
1:33:28reason why we do the strategy of turning
1:33:31the delves in at the very end. I've seen
1:33:34a lot of misinformation of people saying
1:33:35like like they know that you're supposed
1:33:37to do it, but they don't know why. So,
1:33:39they just make [ __ ] up. And people say,
1:33:41"Oh, well, they give way more XP." It's
1:33:43like, well, yeah, everything gives more
1:33:44XP. Everything scales. That that is not
1:33:46why we do it. And then in Fall the
1:33:48Arrow, I have a note that basically says
1:33:50like when you're worried about certain
1:33:52level ranges, like you can see what I
1:33:53did in Zulan. I made it so I barely hit
1:33:56level 85 before doing the turnin. That
1:33:59way, I got uh an extra 3k rough. It's
1:34:03like 2.5k XP uh per level. So, I got
1:34:06slightly more XP. That is still a fairly
1:34:08minuscule amount. Now, obviously, every
1:34:11little bit counts, so you want to be
1:34:12mindful of that type of thing. That's
1:34:14just something it's good practice to be
1:34:16thinking about that for just speed
1:34:17leveling in general if you want to get
1:34:18better at this. So, that's why obviously
1:34:21I do it in my speedruns and it's why I
1:34:23put little notes about it and follow the
1:34:24arrow. But the main reason why we do all
1:34:28this stuff uh and wait until later is
1:34:31just because it's really really really
1:34:33slow to do delves at higher levels when
1:34:35your scaling is really bad. The thing
1:34:37about this is you're actually watching
1:34:39me do delves effectively with bad
1:34:40scaling because I'm scaled well actually
1:34:42now I'm scaled to item level 170. Now
1:34:44the scaling is finally caught up. So uh
1:34:47it's a little bit better now
1:34:50thankfully. Um, so this actually I think
1:34:54now because I waited the irony is um or
1:34:58because I waited to do these later. I am
1:35:00a little bit tiny bit stronger because
1:35:02of the scaling except I lost a lot of
1:35:04time early on in the run because those
1:35:06delves would have been like basically
1:35:08twice as fast if I had had really good
1:35:10gear because I'd be nearly one-shotting
1:35:11every single mob. But in this run, it
1:35:14actually took me time to kill stuff
1:35:15because I was scaled to like item level
1:35:1780 for like the first two levels because
1:35:19of Blizzard's stupid PTR scaling thing.
1:35:21On live servers, that's not a thing.
1:35:23It's just whatever item level you have.
1:35:25And because of the way that these level
1:35:2781 uh crafted items work, they start off
1:35:30at uh item level 178. In this case,
1:35:33they're scaled down, by the way. So, I'm
1:35:35not just getting completely free um
1:35:38stats across the board from this. The
1:35:40scaling is still not like fully
1:35:42favorable, but think about it like this
1:35:45way. Blizzard thinks that the average
1:35:47person is doing those delves at item
1:35:49level 90. That is why their scaling
1:35:52modifier that they have in place on the
1:35:53beta or the PTR scales you down to item
1:35:56level 90. And if you're doing them with
1:35:58like even remotely good gear like greens
1:36:00that you bought off the auction house or
1:36:02the crafted stuff, which everybody
1:36:03should do cuz it's like dirt cheap, then
1:36:05you're effectively doing it like 50 item
1:36:07levels higher than what Blizzard tuned
1:36:08it around. So the mobs just die really
1:36:11quickly. So you're able to clear them
1:36:13faster, which obviously means you level
1:36:15faster. So that's the main reason that
1:36:17we wait until the very end. Uh other
1:36:19thing is that in this particular case,
1:36:22because the delves are all very easy to
1:36:24turn in, like they're all in a fairly
1:36:25compact location, it becomes very easy
1:36:28to just go around and do all the turnins
1:36:30one after another. Um, something that a
1:36:33lot of people don't realize, you maybe
1:36:34didn't do as many leveling runs in War
1:36:36Within, which considering the fact that
1:36:38like my druid run early in the expansion
1:36:41already has like more views than my War
1:36:42Within leveling guide ever got, which is
1:36:44wild by the way. Um, but it goes to show
1:36:47for me at least that not as many people
1:36:49were familiar with the route that I
1:36:51developed for War Within. And I had
1:36:53really fast War Within runs. They still
1:36:55did well, which at the time I was like,
1:36:56"Oh yeah, these are performing well."
1:36:58Then of course the druid run kind of
1:37:00blew the lid off any expectations I had.
1:37:03But a lot of people who maybe didn't
1:37:06play then don't remember how it was done
1:37:07in War Within. I never did the whole big
1:37:10delve turn in at the end because delve
1:37:11turnins were at like random [ __ ]
1:37:13locations in the middle of nowhere. So,
1:37:16it was not worth it to go and do like a
1:37:18big turn in at the end because you would
1:37:20have lost so much time with travel time
1:37:22that any time that you were losing from
1:37:24like the mobs taking slightly longer to
1:37:26kill, uh, you know, you wouldn't really
1:37:28save that by doing a big turn in. Now, I
1:37:30did try to turn in some of them at the
1:37:32end when it made sense. Like, I saved
1:37:34some of the ones in Dornagal. I saved a
1:37:37lot of the ones in Ash Cahette until the
1:37:39very end and turned all those in last
1:37:40second. Um, and I tried to do everything
1:37:43before doing that final turn in. So, I
1:37:45skipped like the last level or two
1:37:47roughly. Um, so I did something kind of
1:37:49similar. There were obviously more
1:37:51delves in War Within, though. So, there
1:37:52were times where you do a delve and you
1:37:54would just immediately turn in the
1:37:55Delver's Callest. It wasn't like Gospel
1:37:57that you had to do it in one particular
1:38:00way.
1:38:02Uh, so here,
1:38:04yeah, this this will definitely be
1:38:06enough. There is
1:38:09there is honestly a case to be made of,
1:38:11oh yeah, I have to load in per he or
1:38:14So, I'm trying to coast as long as I
1:38:16can. The one nice thing about these
1:38:18loading screens being a little bit
1:38:19longer is if you have enough momentum,
1:38:21you can kind of like carry it over so
1:38:23you don't lose quite as much time. But
1:38:25obviously, if you're taking like a
1:38:26portal like Harandar, that's just a, you
1:38:28know, flat amount of time.
1:38:34Uh, okay. And yeah, holding the line.
1:38:37This is definitely faster by a metric
1:38:39[ __ ] ton than any of the other ones.
1:38:41It's going to take a little while to
1:38:42load. And then after this, we do the
1:38:44turn in and like crafting and stuff and
1:38:46then we're done.
1:38:49Okay. What do we have? We have daggers
1:38:51today. All right. Uh I'm going to do big
1:38:56pull up here.
1:39:05Whoa. I don't have my damage meter
1:39:07running, but I'm pretty sure my dag
1:39:09either I got a million mandate procs or
1:39:11the daggers hit really hard. I guess
1:39:13we'll find out in a little bit.
1:39:16Okay. All right, mandate. God damn.
1:39:22Uh, okay. Yeah, the daggers just hit
1:39:24extremely hard. Uh, this is one of the
1:39:26reasons why holding the line is really
1:39:27good. It's very fast and then you get
1:39:29these things which just do crazy damage.
1:39:31I wonder if this is because of it might
1:39:34be like an artifact of the scaling. Now,
1:39:36normally the daggers are really good.
1:39:38There's a reason why I picked them up.
1:39:40Uh they are they are my personal
1:39:42favorite. I think though the long bow I
1:39:44really like the long bow because it does
1:39:46really good single target damage. And a
1:39:48lot of times if you're already really
1:39:49good at doing AOE damage, then having
1:39:51the long bow to speed up the uh the
1:39:53single target stuff can be really nice.
1:39:57Uh but today the long bow wasn't an
1:39:59option. And I see daggers. I take
1:40:01daggers.
1:40:10I'll do daggers again.
1:40:14Nice. And then I need uh two more
1:40:17barricades. And I'll be able to get that
1:40:19by doing
1:40:23this. And then there's one up there.
1:40:32Nice
1:40:35roll. Missed sub 130, but it's been a
1:40:38good run.
1:40:41I'm happy with this.
1:40:45At the very least, I completely smoked
1:40:47my time from last month. Now, I didn't
1:40:48have dark fair in that last run.
1:40:50Honestly, my druid run was kind of
1:40:52[ __ ] crazy. For not having dark fair,
1:40:54I actually think it's kind of a miracle
1:40:56I got a time that fast. It's a little
1:40:58bit wild. And we're going to be able to
1:41:00beat this quite easily once we get the
1:41:02uh turbulent timeways buff regardless.
1:41:04So, doesn't really matter.
1:41:09Uh I can I can taunt now and or it
1:41:12should have one shot.
1:41:15Nice. Uh it doesn't really matter at
1:41:17this point. I Arcantina key.
1:41:19>> Make sure my warrior doesn't uh lag out.
1:41:22Arcantina key. Then I'm going to do the
1:41:24turnins.
1:41:30and
1:41:32should be enough, I think.
1:41:41Um, also, you know, as I sit here and do
1:41:44the final turnins and stuff, I have been
1:41:46streaming a decent bit more often. uh
1:41:49mostly leveling runs and stuff, but I'm
1:41:51also doing a challenge where I'm trying
1:41:52to get well I'm doing basically a zero
1:41:54to hero on every single healer all at
1:41:57once on European servers. And the end
1:42:00goal of that is I am trying to get uh
1:42:02cutting edge on Europe as a healer
1:42:03because normally on North America my
1:42:06guild is or my guild is currently world
1:42:1056 and I play tank for that. But I would
1:42:14really like to be able to say that I
1:42:16have experience playing other stuff as
1:42:18well. And and so healer is a role that
1:42:22I've always wanted to really get into.
1:42:23So I'm pushing myself to learn it a
1:42:25little bit more often. So I've been
1:42:26streaming that a little bit more. Um if
1:42:28that is something that you think might
1:42:30be interesting, watching a tank bane
1:42:31learn how to to heal and trying to get
1:42:34I'm trying to actually learn how to play
1:42:35it. I want to get really good at it.
1:42:37That's the idea. Um, but we'll see
1:42:40whether or not I'm successful uh in
1:42:42that. Uh, and then also I I've been
1:42:46streaming my raids more often on North
1:42:47America that is. So, my North American
1:42:50guild is going to try and go in and I
1:42:52don't know if we're going to one-shot
1:42:53it, but we're going to try and kill
1:42:54Sporefall basically the moment the North
1:42:56American servers come up. So, I'll
1:42:57probably stream that and then our recar
1:42:59and stuff after. So, that'll be
1:43:00obviously on Tuesday. I have a few other
1:43:02videos coming out over the next few days
1:43:05for 12.0.7 stuff. I'm going to have a
1:43:07little mini guide basically talking
1:43:09about the updates to follow the arrow
1:43:11and all of the information that you'll
1:43:13see in this speedrun, like all of the
1:43:15important changes and whatnot. I'm going
1:43:18to try and summarize that in like a
1:43:19little mini guide. That way, anybody who
1:43:22doesn't um who doesn't watch the run
1:43:24will still be able to understand what's
1:43:26going on.
1:43:28And
1:43:30that will be probably also like on
1:43:32Tuesday or Monday night or so. And then
1:43:34obviously should go without saying that
1:43:36follow the arrow will be fully updated
1:43:38for all these changes and I am currently
1:43:41in the process of working on the uh the
1:43:45alliance and horde 1 to80 routes. What
1:43:48I'm probably going to do is they are uh
1:43:52I'm going to like work on them zone by
1:43:54zone and then as I finish them I'm going
1:43:56to upload them for uh Patreon supporters
1:43:59to help test out. And then once the
1:44:02entire thing is complete and people have
1:44:04tested it and like you know any bugs
1:44:05I've been able to fix, then I'm hoping
1:44:07that by the end of July, I want to have
1:44:10it published. So that will be the goal.
1:44:13If you want to help test it early, I
1:44:15mean like it's not necessarily early
1:44:17access, right? Like I don't want to put
1:44:18anything behind a payw wall. That's
1:44:20never the goal. Um so it's probably
1:44:22going to be rough. you're probably going
1:44:24to be helping bug fix, but I know a lot
1:44:26of people have been like really really
1:44:27really dying to have access to that
1:44:29right now. Uh, so you might be able to
1:44:31do it a little bit early provided you're
1:44:33willing to deal with some bugs and well,
1:44:34I mean provide feedback to help the
1:44:36add-on get better. I figure that's a
1:44:39nice way to handle that. I'm going to be
1:44:41doing that over the course of the uh Why
1:44:45can't I I can only learn. Do I already
1:44:47have a profession? Right. Yeah, I have
1:44:48engineering because I probably use that
1:44:50to level this character at some point
1:44:52back in Kazalgar.
1:44:55Uh, and then we're going to
1:44:58uh Why is engineering trying to do this,
1:45:01right? Probably I've already because I
1:45:03had to fumble around with the menuing
1:45:04lost time doing these crafts. It's what
1:45:07it is. I also forgot to use my irrated
1:45:09file of quick hands. I'll do that now
1:45:11just because like I should have done
1:45:13that. What are you going to do?
1:45:16Uh, first craft and then let's do this
1:45:20first craft. And then that's the last of
1:45:21it. And then we're going to
1:45:25I'm too close to the profession table.
1:45:28And now I do Voidtorm first and then
1:45:32Herandar.
1:45:34Do Void Storm. We turn in uh Born Killer
1:45:37and
1:45:40uh and I'm out of coffee. Perfect
1:45:42timing. I ran out of coffee right at the
1:45:44end of the run. [ __ ] accidentally
1:45:46dismounted.
1:45:49Do this killer. Then we're going to turn
1:45:53in this stuff.
1:45:56Then level 89.
1:45:59And we head to Harandar. I think I'm
1:46:02going to overshoot slightly is what it
1:46:04is. Like I said, I think sub 130 already
1:46:08would have been possible. Now, I am far
1:46:11enough off it that I I'm not too upset
1:46:13about that because I think that I would
1:46:15have probably had to do a lot of
1:46:16practice runs to make sure that the
1:46:19route was like streamlined enough to get
1:46:20it to that point to where like I could
1:46:22actually reliably get it. Yeah. Oh,
1:46:24okay. I really overshot. God damn. I'm
1:46:28I'm not even going to Yeah, I'm not
1:46:31going to get full value out of um
1:46:34abundance. And then I'm not even going
1:46:36to turn in grudge pit. Honestly though,
1:46:38I'd rather overshoot than undershoot and
1:46:40like have to scramble to get extra
1:46:42things.
1:46:43Uh really what I probably could have
1:46:45done, uh this is by the way, this is
1:46:48when we turn in abundance cuz we do here
1:46:50and then obviously we turn it in here
1:46:52and then that's time. Let me just Yeah,
1:46:55that's [ __ ] crazy. We still had an
1:46:58entire 190k XP left over. That is um
1:47:02kind of wild. Kind of [ __ ] wild. Uh,
1:47:05why is there a second quest? Is this Oh,
1:47:08there's a separate quest for max level
1:47:10as well. Cool. So, you can do both. I
1:47:13was never really sure about that. Um,
1:47:17so obviously I overshot. I think what I
1:47:19probably should have done is Everong
1:47:22campaign up until
1:47:25basically the the where you go to
1:47:27Tranquilian, right? That's the point
1:47:29where I probably should have stopped um
1:47:31and I should have just gone straight to
1:47:32Shadow Enclave. I think I didn't need
1:47:34those quests and they slowed me down a
1:47:36little bit.
1:47:38If I had cut those,
1:47:41probably I could have gotten sub 130.
1:47:44It's It's iffy though.
1:47:48But remember what I was saying, like if
1:47:49I don't need uh if I don't end up doing
1:47:52Regent's request, then I don't need
1:47:54Everson campaign.
1:47:57Um
1:47:59I don't know.
1:48:02Uh,
1:48:04I'll have to think about it, but I mean
1:48:06either I mean this is fast, right? It's
1:48:09it's pretty fast no matter what. Um, so
1:48:13I can't really complain all too much and
1:48:15this is not even with turbulent
1:48:16timeways. So, uh, oh yeah, something
1:48:19that I probably it doesn't really matter
1:48:21for this, but I know I'm going to get
1:48:23questions about it and I have mentioned
1:48:24turbulent timeways at least a little
1:48:26bit. Turbulent Timeways buffs
1:48:28everything. Everything. Not just time
1:48:31walking dungeons. You have to do time
1:48:33walking dungeons to get the buff, but
1:48:34then it is a universal buff. So, a lot
1:48:37of people think that when turbulent time
1:48:39wings is active, you're just going to
1:48:40spam turbulent or time walking dungeons
1:48:41to level up. No, you're going to do four
1:48:44time walking dungeons, you're going to
1:48:45get the 30% buff, and then you're going
1:48:47to do this. Now, that is a lot easier to
1:48:51implement for 1 to 80 leveling because
1:48:53already in my routes from 10 to 20, we
1:48:56do TBC chromy time dungeons. So, you can
1:49:00just replace that with time walking
1:49:01dungeons. You have 30% buff for the
1:49:03entire rest of the route. You don't need
1:49:04to do a single extra dungeon unless you
1:49:06need to refresh it, at which point you
1:49:07do one more time walking dungeon. The
1:49:08buff goes back up to three hours. Boom.
1:49:10You're good to go. uh that will be very
1:49:12easy to route in because then you just
1:49:13do exactly this that I already did for
1:49:1670 to 80 or or uh 80 to 90
1:49:19and then
1:49:21I don't know what what do you cut?
1:49:24It's so hard to think like what would
1:49:26you even cut out of this? It's so fast.
1:49:28Uh
1:49:31definitely you cut the latter part of
1:49:33every song.
1:49:36I'm trying to think like
1:49:39on one hand you could justify cutting
1:49:41out the side quests in voidstorm but
1:49:42they're good
1:49:44and the the prey
1:49:47but like I I do wonder though if you
1:49:49can't do voidstorm would it be
1:49:50worthwhile to instead do Zullemon and
1:49:53then do the prey in Zullemon. But
1:49:55honestly that that flowed really well. I
1:49:58don't know if I just got lucky or maybe
1:49:59because I've never seen that prey
1:50:00location before. So presumably that can
1:50:02only activate for normal prey. So maybe
1:50:06always when you do normal prey that is
1:50:08the location. I normally don't do it cuz
1:50:10it's never been relevant outside of like
1:50:13the first four that you do.
1:50:16So if you can consistently set that up
1:50:19and you can reliably get uh that prey to
1:50:22spawn exactly right there. I mean that
1:50:23is perfect with the route. It does not
1:50:26get better than that. So I feel like
1:50:29there's no way you don't include that.
1:50:32And then like is there ever a world
1:50:34where you don't do a delve?
1:50:36I mean in this case literally I didn't
1:50:39have to do a delve. I could have not
1:50:40done Parhelion Plaza and been fine. But
1:50:42then where is the cut off of like if
1:50:45you're going to cut a delve it's going
1:50:46to be Parelian Plaza by the way 100%.
1:50:49Holding the line if you get it the one
1:50:51that I just did. Like that's pretty
1:50:52fast. That was a pretty good delve. But
1:50:54keep in mind we had to travel like an
1:50:57entire minute just to get there. So that
1:50:59adds time. That is relevant downtime.
1:51:02And
1:51:04the fact that normally it is the only
1:51:08delve that is like its best variant is
1:51:10on that day that normally you'll want to
1:51:13level on the calamitous day and on the
1:51:15calamitous day perhal plaza is terrible.
1:51:18So unless you do something like this
1:51:20where you start in one day do the daily
1:51:21reset and do another one. Now for
1:51:24speedruns I don't know what I'm going to
1:51:25do but speedruns do not reflect the
1:51:27average player's experience. But there
1:51:28is absolutely a case to be made for you
1:51:30just don't do perhaps at all. Uh
1:51:34the problem is there's no other devil
1:51:35that's really worth cutting. Maybe like
1:51:37shadow enclave mirror shine maybe.
1:51:41I don't know. I'm trying to think. Is
1:51:43there any other one that I wouldn't want
1:51:44to do? Um ironically grudge pit. Grudge
1:51:48pit's kind of slow and it is the one
1:51:51that we had to fly all the way out here
1:51:52for. So, uh, the nice thing about
1:51:54Grudgefit, though, is Grudgefit ends up
1:51:56not feeling quite as bad now because you
1:51:59have the, um, the Legends of the
1:52:01Heraneer into those three quests, but
1:52:04then also those three quests aren't
1:52:05always going to be there. That's another
1:52:06thing, right? If I did not have those
1:52:08three quests, I would have been down 80k
1:52:10XP ballpark
1:52:14or what was it? 60k. You get the idea. I
1:52:17would have been a little bit below. I
1:52:19probably would have at least not
1:52:20overshot with abundance. and then I
1:52:22would have gotten enough with um
1:52:25Grudgefitit. I still probably would have
1:52:26overshot with Grudgefit though. So, I
1:52:30don't know. But like these were
1:52:31definitely worth doing because all the
1:52:33three of them were up. But if you don't
1:52:34have this, then there's a little bit
1:52:35more wiggle room. So, the nice thing
1:52:38about this version of the route is you
1:52:41have to pick what is not worth doing out
1:52:43of the good stuff that already exists.
1:52:45There is too much good stuff now to fit
1:52:48into a single route. You already hit max
1:52:50level. If you don't have the warb band
1:52:51bonus, then you get to do all of it,
1:52:53which it just kind of works out well.
1:52:54But if you do have the bonus, then
1:52:56you're you're picking from what is the
1:52:58best possible thing that I can do. And
1:53:00that's always a good position to be in.
1:53:01You're always happy about that. So, at
1:53:05the very least, I don't think I'll have
1:53:07a single person ever saying that they
1:53:08fell short of like the recommended route
1:53:10and had to do bonus side quests. That's
1:53:12a thing of the past now. So, that is a
1:53:14relief for me at the very least. Um, but
1:53:18yeah, I I could sit here and yap
1:53:20obviously for a very long time if I
1:53:22really needed to. Uh, but I have to get
1:53:25this uploaded. I have to edit it. I'll
1:53:27end by saying, um, again, I mentioned
1:53:29before that if you want to help test and
1:53:31stuff, uh, you know, help support on
1:53:33Patreon and stuff. So, I will put up on
1:53:36screen. Where would it be? It would be
1:53:37somewhere up here. Uh, my hand is kind
1:53:39of disappearing into the void. Um, but
1:53:41big thank you to my Patreon supporters,
1:53:43the the testers who presumably will be
1:53:46able to help test. I know some of them
1:53:48told me that they aren't as interested
1:53:49in testing. They just wanted to help
1:53:51support. So, obviously, you know, extra
1:53:52super duper thank you uh to those
1:53:54people. But to everybody who supports on
1:53:56Patreon, um, but yeah, that is that's
1:53:59something that I was going to edit in
1:54:00anyway. I wanted to make sure because
1:54:02this is a main channel video that I put
1:54:03that in there. And it works out well
1:54:05because I also wanted to uh do the the
1:54:08little preamble and like yap session at
1:54:10the start to explain what the hell it is
1:54:13that I'm even doing because it's going
1:54:15to be uh difficult for me to or would
1:54:17have been difficult for me to record all
1:54:18that. And as you saw, we barely made it
1:54:20to Calamitus in time as is, but it all
1:54:22worked out. Overall, pretty happy with
1:54:24this run. I have been extremely stressed
1:54:27putting it up. Um that's another thing.
1:54:29I'm going to put a behind the scenes
1:54:30video up on Patreon for uh uh for people
1:54:34who support on there and showcase all
1:54:37the testing and whatnot that led up to
1:54:38the creation of this route and a lot of
1:54:40like the the little fall the arrow
1:54:42updates behind the scenes and uh that'll
1:54:45probably be a bonus I don't know like
1:54:47six hour long video, however long it's
1:54:48going to be. I've recorded a lot of
1:54:50footage over the last month for that. Um
1:54:52but that's another thing that I throw up
1:54:53on Patreon. But yeah, again uh thanks
1:54:55for watching. Uh, and I hope you enjoy
1:54:58this route and I hope you are able to
1:55:00level up hopefully as fast as I am or
1:55:02close to it once 12.0.7 drops.
1:55:05Definitely I think a lot of people will
1:55:06find that 2 hours is going to be a
1:55:08pretty consistent time for them. Uh,
1:55:09this is a pretty big buff, bigger than I
1:55:12thought, but I mean this is pretty
1:55:14reasonable. My previous around 2 hours
1:55:1617 minutes, this is like shaving off
1:55:1730ish minutes. Uh, that's definitely
1:55:20good, but I don't know. It's not like
1:55:22earthshattering. Turbulent timeways will
1:55:23definitely make it a little bit crazy,
1:55:25but we'll we'll cross that bridge when
1:55:27we get to it later this month. I'll have
1:55:28a video covering specifically turbulent
1:55:30timeways when that is a thing. Um, but
1:55:32keep in mind, yeah, you will be getting
1:55:33the buff and then questing. I I'm going
1:55:35to stop myself. I could y forever. Uh,
1:55:37but yeah, thank you for watching again
1:55:39and I will see you in the next one.
1:55:41Peace.
