Wowzer!

Some definite mistakes and time losses littered throughout this run, but a 32 minute Kettle grind is rough to beat! No ring of frozz, no potion of madi, etc., but wasn't really needed.

Played on the J version (with built in English translation) to save time on resets.

If someone wanted to beat this time they could do so by having a good kettle grind and then being a bit better about getting the right amount of gold and getting soulstealer from ghosts faster while still netting a ring of frozz. Having a low level wizard is a much bigger hindrance than originally anticipated -- you need WAY more gold and need to really cross your fingers early on in the ghost grind. Some runs would have been faster to have literally done a third kettle grind and gotten a level up with the wizard, but it's too unlikely for three good kettle grinds to even attempt it. Instead of needing around $20k, you need closer to $40k with a low level wizard -- not counting any revivals of your party you need to do. $10k for birdcage, another $10k for rubber duck and pool, $5k for the ice key, $20k for identifying staves, plus anything else you need to identify or uncurse. Low level wizards are expensive.
