I will most likely not be updating this guide anymore as Pokeytoe's guide is much more complete and goes over a lot of the same stuff. I will be keeping this up as an extra resource but I suggest looking at Pokeytoe's guide first.

Diablo 3 Speedrun with live commentary: The video is supposed to be how the run would look for a marathon so I do go over some of the strategies and layouts during the run which may be helpful for newer runners.

If you want to contribute to the guide send imgur or google doc links to me on the discord channel ( https://discord.gg/jBwRZ2P ). In order to keep things neat I will be the only one editing the google documents.

Special Thanks to Scrubcasual for his contributions to the guide.

I plan to do video guides as well in the future but it will be a long time before I make those because I want them to be very well done and there is so much we still don't know about the run for a good video guide series.
