It only took me 200, however I had 1 good run out of 100. Took me 2 runs to finish (died to crystal wyvern due to my ptera being stupid). I understand the spawning part , However I personally feel that spawning in a wyvern talon or a wyvern isn’t a good idea since it’s really one map based on RNG. The other problem is if we are only allowed to spawn in wyvern talons then getting primal crystal without an alpha will take longer. Ultimately it is not my decision and if you change the rules then I will run the category again , however if we are allowed to spawn in talons from alpha wyverns then we should be also able to spawn in primal crystal .

so I believe the alpha problem can be fixed by using the slomo command to get to day 3 then using 1.0 dino count. Also Maverick it feels like you watched my video and didnt look at the other possible spawn locations such as the west spawn of the map. Spawning here makes it easier to get a ptera.

Also if you spawn in the talon you might as well spawn in the primal crystal too. The only real consistent way to get it and have a chance to do under an hour is by killing an alpha.

But with a run in CI is it really a reason to delete CI . I mean it is my only run so far, but still I showed that it could be done and it could be done way faster too.

I believe that we should not spawn anything that are not artifacts, however bringing creature count up to 1.0 will probably help a lot. Since there are no caves it would defidnetly be possible to complete it as easy as I did .

I do agree with this, but for the alpha spawning (cause I had to deal with a lot of restarts due to no alpha crystal wyvern) I believe the player have finished every other thing to do (for example in Crystal Isles once the player receives 5 talons and all 5 artifacts and are in a place where the wyvern can spawn then they can spawn them in)

No im talking about dying as quick as possible.

I have a couple categories I would like to run by the community to see what people think of them. First one would be official server difficulty run. This run would only be do able with multiple players, however all player groups would be put in the same group (larger groups are encouraged here), another is also tame all dinos. Taming one of every dino on a specific map. These speedruns would essentially be testing your knowledge of the map and how committed you are to finding rare dinos. Another one is a little ambitious but possibly a crypodless section. This would make runs that were done without cryopods before they were released on other maps (I think only 1-2 apply) good runs. Also could have runners make new strats for this specific challenge. The last one I had in mind was kind of a meme category. I believe that we should add a death% or a collect all of one item type(berrys, veggies, etc). Have a good day everyone!
