Speedrun Compilation

The logical next step from dpm flex threads

Instead of emphasizing one's individual DPM, which may also lead to suboptimal play (e.g. hitting wings) and/or squad compositions, let's put the spotlight on the squad (or individual, in the case of solos/one-man armies). Though I make this thread mostly for entertainment purposes, I also hope that some insight may be gained from it with respect to answering questions such as whether bringing a cleaver to HT is beneficial towards the goal of minimizing overall run time or not.

There will be three categories for each boss.

• Normal: only one attacker per player allowed (buff mules and sed mules are fine)
• Hardcore: Multiclienting of attackers allowed, i.e. doing damage (to anything) on more than one character during the run
• Clown: "Hardcore" but with the likes of apples/gelts/stoppers allowed, i.e. anything goes

Each category will then be further divided based on the number of actual players involved.

So without further ado, here are the rules:

1. Specify for which boss and which category the submission is for.
2. Post a screenshot at the start (before boss is summoned) and end of the run using the time command. If you can't be bothered, a single screenshot with the boss timer as boss dies will also suffice, though the time will be rounded up to the next minute if the seconds are not displayed (in addition to disadvantaging yourself by including any delays at start). A link to a video also works.
3. Specify how many actual players were in the run and list the IGNs/levels/classes of all characters involved and their roles (e.g. attacker, buff mule, sed mule, freeze/stun mule, etc).
4. No attack pots higher than cider/wizard elixir allowed (unless for the Clown category) with the exception of HT buff in HT (in which case it should be specified) and no usage of GM buffs or the likes of event-exclusive use items that grant avoid/acc higher than what would normally be readily available, i.e. nothing that gives more than 40 avoid/acc (unless for the Clown category).

Please feel free to make submissions even if you don't feel that they're particularly fast.

*PB is excluded for practical reasons.
**PQs can be added in the future if there is enough interest.

Spoiler: Party Quests...?

Spoiler: Jump Quests...?

soonTM

 

Definetly posting my PQ runs once PQ revamp hits whether you want them or not.

 

Going to jump-start this off with a Core Blaze submission from our squad.

Core Blaze PQ, Hardcore (16 min 28 sec)

• 3 players
• Characters:
  • Gork (199 bucc | attacker)
  • Gyrk (200 MM | attacker and SE/freeze mule)
    • used MM to freeze guard mobs in corner during royal guard
    • attacked on it during core blaze whenever bucc was demoing
  • TTEpicName (196 Pally | attacker)
  • TTKirnk (200 bucc | MW30 mule)
  • JoeWick (200 sair | attacker)
  • Alisaris (184 bish | HS/shield/JQ mule

Spoiler: Time

 

Mostly because there may be delays in summoning the boss and also because of what you pointed out.

 

A timely reminder to vote AGREE on this suggestion:
https://forum.maplelegends.com/index.php?threads/make-boss-in-game-timers-show-seconds.47086/

 

Beating our last record for core by over a minute.

Core Blaze PQ, Hardcore (15 min 17 sec)

• 3 players
• Characters:
  • Gork (200 bucc | attacker)
  • Gyrk (200 MM | attacker and SE/freeze mule)
    • used MM to freeze guard mobs in corner during royal guard
    • attacked on MM in conjunction with bucc throughout core blaze
  • TTEPICName (197 Pally | attacker)
  • TTKirnk (200 bucc | MW30 mule)
  • JoeWick (200 sair | attacker)
  • Alisaris (184 bish | HS/shield/JQ mule

Spoiler: Time

 

Dunas2, Hardcore (1hr 23mins)

• 1 player
• Characters:
  • Squarish (200 mage | attacker)
  • Boxy (200 mage | echo mule/Robot lure)

 

Ah, yes. The classic "echo mule to echo your other echo mule"

 

Nameless, Hardcore (16 min 26 sec):

• Two players
• Characters:
  • Gork (200 Bucc | attacker)
  • Gyrk (200 MM | attacker/SE mule)
  • Gurk (200 Shad | attacker)
    • used shad as just a "charged nate" mule
  • Prescience (150 Bish | HS mule)
  • TTEPICName (200 Pally | attacker)
    
  • TTKirnk (200 Bucc | MW30 mule)

Execution on my part was rather sloppy, especially with the charged nates usually coming out many seconds late.

Spoiler: Start

Wasn't able to get the time command in before crystal was smashed sadly but we can say that the actual start time was 5 seconds earlier than shown, so 6:53:34.

Spoiler: End

 

Zakum, Hardcore (24 min 2 sec):

• Two players
• Characters:
  • Gork (200 Bucc | attacker)
  • Gyrk (200 MM | attacker/SE mule)
  • Girk (173 IL | arms attacker)
  • Bipod (184 Sair | attacker)
  • Muis (181 Bish | arms attacker/HS mule)

Spoiler: Start

Spoiler: End

 

I dunno, screenshot seems sus, pretty sure that timer is photoshopped.
I'm joking btw, this is a joke

Cyrinz hit once to secure quest clear.

Spoiler: Nameless

Zakum, Hardcore (1 hr 23 min):

• One player
• Character:
  • Squarish (200 mage | attacker)

1 additional echo and 1x SE buff was used before summon.

Spoiler: Zakum

 

Nice job! Just wanted to say that it looks like these submissions would actually all fall within the Normal category and so I've added them there.

 

Thanks! And you were right, its suppose to be at normal category

 

Party Quest leaderboards when?

 

Probably whenever Soblet starts posting them after PQ revamp.

 

I meant more along the lines of an additional text line when you click the respective Party Quest NPC.

Something more robust, built into the game itself rather than user-generated via a basic forum post.

I've seen other servers do this and its really cool.


Someone else already suggested this back in 2018.

Bergamot, Normal (56 min):

• One player
• Character:
  • Squarish (200 mage | attacker)

Spoiler: [B]Bergamot[/B]

 

Core Blaze PQ, Hardcore(25 58 sec)

• 3 players
• Characters:
  • MoonbyulPow (193 Bucc | attacker)
  • MoonbyulStan (200 BSP | HS/Shield Mule)
  • M00nbyul (182 MM| SE Mule / Chandelier Mule)
  • Eiji (200 DK | attacker)
  • Redapples (198 Hero | attacker)

One of the attackers did not wear their attack gloves and Bucc only DPM TL'd once (instead of twice) in main body just incase of death during Royal Guard.

Should have hit on MM more if I knew this would fall under HC instead of Normal. Only up from here
