Long story short there was a leveling exploit found yesterday that basically instantly jumps you to around level 20. http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?p=442926

E: It sounds like we're not going to use it in the any% run, but it could still be a good idea to copy the current patch in case something else comes up with it later.

Honestly, I have zero idea why you make a big deal out of this. If anybody needs a level 20 char so much, she can just cheat one with no problems at all. This also has no bearing on speedrun strats since the exploit requires you to have a premade char who got to ultimate. Am I missing something?

I'm confusing myself because I'm having this conversation with myself in two places right now, but I can see your point (as much as it pains me to say that, lol).

I'm still going to play around with this because I have a thing for messing around with broken stuff, but I won't plan on submitting any runs for any% that use it.

Ah, ok then. It's nice to see that I am more or less on top of things and haven't missed anything huge and obvious and important.
