October 12th; -Removed "Defeat General Scar" category -Removed "Travel from Elder" Category

September 19th; -Added Solace's Fortress (10-6) (Sorry I'm late! XD)

July 8th; -Cleaned up "Travel around Elysion" rules.

I tried it on normal... Took like a whole hour and a half... I died at Scar :(

July 3rd; -Added "Character Switching is allowed" To "Travel Around Elrios" Category rules

Sadly, the more and more I gather data and such, I begin to realize MMO's aren't supposed to be cleared in 1 day XD. I think this category is actually a bit absurd now, considering my estimate for reaching scar being around 7 hours...

FATAL PROBLEM; Henir is OP... You can enter from level 10 and it will curve to your level, so should we make that a category?

Ok, I did an dungeon to quest exp ratio... And by golly are Dungeons taking exp by storm. I think the only place you really want to follow the quests is the very beginning, or if you are going for a job change. I went ahead and ran "Residential Area 3" on my CBS. Here are the numbers I got; Dungeon exp (Normal) ;139,511 (3:30ish)= 644.3 exp per second Dungeon exp (Hard) ;195,087 (3:50ish)= 848.2 exp per second Dungeon exp (Very Hard); 236,769 (4:40ish)= 845.6 exp per second So... Do dungeons on Hard? Gonna test on another dungeon. Also; Quest reward exp; (Story) 78,240+ (Side) 27,846=106,086 Ya... Not worth the trouble. Just go and keep climbing the Dungeon ladder.

Ruben; The barrier keeping you from hopping into Elder is a "lv.6 or higher" restriction, as well as having to clear "White Mist Swamp"

Field; -Lake Noahs; Theif Phoru= 300250 exp Bor= 192~250 exp Tobu= 100ish exp

Notes; From what I've seen; -Beating the tutorial enemy will result in level 2. -Clearing "Tree of El" (Normal) gives about 1800ish exp, resulting in lv.4 once quest has been completed -Clearing "Forest Ruins" (Normal) Gives about 4600ish exp, resulting in lv.5. lv.6 obtained after completing quest. -The next required quest is "Theif Phoru's". They can be found in bulk at the right most side, before the Bor's. This left me with 100% on my exp bar... UGH. So probably lv.7 on average here. -Clearing "White Mist Swamp" (Normal) Gives about 7000ish exp, resulting in lv. 8. Clearing the quest only gives so much now (Like 1/4 of a exp bar).

Anyway, you probably want to leave to Elder as soon as possible. Even at a low level, the repeat stolen goods quest can be used to quickly level, Thus, stick with Normal on these dungeons to save time.

Possible Glitches; By opening another window on your computer at the end of the tutorial, you get rid of all of the tutorial overlays. DO NOT DO THIS DURING THE TUTORIAL! This will make the "awakening section" of the tutorial untriggerable. Tutorial breaking outcome; Overlay skip;

Alrighty, I've put this off for far to long, lets get planning! :3 Gonna use this as a "template" of sorts for a guide, so throw stuff on here you know about!

Things to consider; -We have to follow the games leveling system in dungeons a bit due to the exp rates dropping if we get -/+ 10 levels from the recommended dungeon level. -Because of said message above, using higher level quests for exp may be worth it to level. -Full game runs are only possible on weekends, because of the unlimited stamina. -Friken equipment level... This is going to be interesting... -B slots must be mailed to the character through the procedure available in the "Guide" section. -Is class changing going to be worth the time? I can see myself pulling a base Eve run, but I dunno... -To unlock a region, you have to meet the lowest "Recommended Level" of the first dungeon. For example, Lanox's "Burnt Forest" have a minimum of lv.70. Thus, It will be impossible for us to access Scar until then... Or you know, Henir :P

June 30th; -Added "Defeat General Demon Scar (Void)" -Added "Travel Around Elrios (Void)"

July 2nd; -Removed "Travel Around Elrios (Void)"

No worries :3. Once I have the time, I should really put up a chart of average exp ratio's of dungeons so good routes can be set.

Ya, we'll go with that for now. Also, we haven't had many runners here so your the 2nd to even consider doing a full game run. The first person ran into technical issues :P. I'll go and fine tune stuff.

This is true... The exp rate is much higher in Void. Having never played it, I didn't take this into account. The items being banned were specifically for Individual Levels, but in a full game run, other variables could pose a problem. It is definitely a priority for all versions to be available, so making a category specific to it could be an option. I'm still a little tentative for we already have many categories, and Void being completely different from the original games might as well make it it's own game. Here are the possibilities I see as a compromise;

1. Make another category for Void. The problem here will be it won't be comparable to the original games, possibly "promoting" it. And we don't want KOG on our tails :P
2. Ban Void from full game runs. Keep individual levels open. This would eliminate the problem of the weird variables, but I would feel like the government and end up rendering Void players unable to speedrun to the full extent.

The main problem I face here is making all the versions compatible to each other, but this seems like it's going to be harder than I thought... PS; Do you know of any other variables in Void that could pose a problem?

Some time in between; -Full-game level "New Character to Elder" introduced/added

June 17th; -Added Level "Celestial Crossroads (10-4)" -Added Level "Adrian's Adobe (10-5)"

For people thinking this the rule set, there is an updated version in the "Guide" section.

June 6th; -Added level "Grand Cavern: Source of the Demonic Energy (9-X)" -Added description to 9-X; Complete the Grand Cavern: Source of the Demonic Energy Basic Rules found in Guides section

May 25; -Adjusted Variable "Character" into "What Character did you play?" due to everyone saying they played Elsword even though they didn't XD -Adjusted Variable "Server" into "What Server did you play on?" to avoid similar problems as above

May 24; -Added "Basic Rules found in Guides section" to all the rules in Full-Game and Individual Levels
