So just out of interest, who else is taking part?
I'm planning on taking part even though I suck at speed runs. Hell, I came 6th out of 6 in Harry's Maso contest.
But sounds like fun.

Re: The Vortex Suit and Subscriber's Exclusive Jacket
I was one of the people who was agreeing with Mana, despite not having a vortex suit/cycle. I think it's a bit underpowered. Just compare the vortex suit with the VHF1 fighter, the other suit/transport combo. Vortex: -5 seconds to the duration of each turn and +20% to initiative Suit: +6 damage abso...

Re: Level 55 shopping
I loved Treader of the Dust's sandals. Best footware in the game in my opinion, good for any class. -5 seconds with some excellent other effects.
Also for a spell slinger, the Polar star is good, but the level 70 Mirror of Nitocris is better.

For what it's worth, my most recent run was 32h 57m 15s with a gadgeteer. I think I could have done it under 32 h if I hadn't thought I'd missed out and stopped using clockwork spiders and swapped to normal documentarian. That was using no squid discs, no flash powders (or any other fight ducking it...

Re: Whirlwind
In my opinion if you're gunning for speed, I'd say the sidekick at the start is unnecessary as clockwork spider surely is sidekick of choice at lower level. XP is my limiting step generally for my runs.
Good luck Cris!

But you have to remember that they still have to waste another 30+ minutes decrypting the code to try and get what they want.
