So I actually speedrun this dungeon and decided to try and get it put on the leaderboard. I had to change the run category from "Wizard101: Mount Olympus: Max Necromancer" to "Wizard101: Mount Olympus: Max Necromancer (Crowns/Hoard Items Allowed)" because, in this run, I use the Max Feint item card granted by the Dworgyn hood from the Professor's Hoard and felt it would be unfair to compare runs using this item (among others) to runs without. Time starts when I talk to Athena (not in this run because X key issues but normally it would) and ends upon the first text box from Zeus after his defeat. Only restrictions on crowns items I would personally put in the rules are the boots that give you a speed boost and the 50% mounts. Other than those, everything is fair game.

To be honest, I don't think any run including the use of crowns items could be made into a category, simply because it makes the run pay to win. I don't think it would be fair to have speedrun categories that can be influenced by how much money someone puts into the game. People have talked about dungeon runs with max characters before, but those also pose some of their own issues as well. That's part of why all seven runs so far require a fresh character, minus WotNP%, due to how it will always be the same regardless of which pet you use.

Honestly, my idea for the category was to split it up by school (because of course storm is fastest) and then split that up by allowing crowns items or not.

definitely not separate by school. that would just make it so you can get wr super easily.

Because this is max level speed running, storms would have the WR if we didn’t separate by school because of the fear they get + the spells they have. They kill on T1 easy.
