Summary

These were my notes on a route. This makes heavy use of two glitches:

The "View Char glitch", which I also call the "A+C glitch"
Resting in no-teleport areas to clear the no-teleport flag.

With this route, we glitch in suitably powerful weapons to get through the Barbarian class quest, use the resulting 5M XP to train ourselves up enough to get through the Black Ticket battles. We try to glitch in as many key items as possible to our inventory; unfortunately there are still a few that we don't have the ability to acquire this way, so we still have to take a jaunt into the 8th Century.

We also utilize a couple other things:

The "fetid pool" in A4 sets all attributes to 100 until the party rests.
Temple blessings-* donate until you receive the message that "Truly you are blessed". This confers a whole bunch of statuses, notably "Walk on Water" and the four elemental "Transmutation" statuses, saving the need for a Cleric in your party to cast them.
Fast transport is done via Witch's Brooms and Teleport Orbs. Teleporting off the edge of a map will cause you to "wrap around".

Possible optimizations:

If we can glitch in more key items, that saves a huge chunk of time.
There are probably better ways to optimize movement, both by better utilization of the Teleport Orb as well as walking forwards or backwards in the right places. There can be significant lag in screen updates depending on what things are on-screen; mountainous areas are especially prone to this.

Route

Procure a Party

This counts in the timing. Make everyone Bar/Fem/Evil.

Fly to A4, go to the inn, pick up Sherman
Retrieve the orb from Sherman

Get the four elemental discs in year 800 to access the talons.

(Note: at this point, we have the Air Talon, the Earth Talon, and the Water Disc, so the only disc we need is the Fire Disc; if you could find a way to glitch in the Fire Disc or Fire Talon you could skip all this)
