My progress on getting a good time in FTK
1 year ago

I just made a 1h 52min (no video available) run on solo (3-man) apprentice 😃, unfortunately no party rush or reset items, i was bleeding time cuz of that in the late game.

Splits were: Opening: 8min06s Mines: 16min03s Misions: 49min26s Laberith: 1h05min27s Caves: 1h31min15s (slow split :/) PreTower: 1h37min54s End: 1h52min17s

Improve a couple hours later, this time i got my first party rush item before demon caves, on the other side no other group item founded for my second character till 3 floor Harazuel. Thx to that party rush item i recovered the time i lost on my previous run in act III.

Splits were: Enter Mines: 8min08s Mines Fight: 14min40s (6min32s) Enter Maze: 50min38s (35min57s) Maze Fight: 1h04min16s (13min38s) Caves Fights: 1h30min05s (25min49s) Enter Tower: 1h32min11s (2min06s) End: 1h42min20s (10min08s)

Happy with the improvement, i lost a bit of time due to bad fighting during maze fight, last PB pace was 5min ahead. Sum of bests around 1h36min53s. Slowly getting into rhythm.

Any tips to improve on the early acts? I feel like im preparing too much for Caves and Tower that I im losing time later on. Obviously tower kill + Both demons took me like 22 minutes but i was preparing to get pearls for focus before that, losing a bit of time in my opinion.

God run uncompleted :( I was on a 1h30min pace after having a ton of luck finishing maze section, being able to buy the anchor and getting the volcanic tome from the boss. With that gear and 9 golden roots on my intelligence character i was able to rush both demon caves. On the way i also entered 2 sea caves, unfortunately 2nd demon burnt one of them on his last attack :/ . Entered the tower in 1h18min but died on the final boss due to lack of life pool and golden root at 1h28min.

Anyway im happy with the improvement im making so far and slowly but surely getting into rhythm.
