Speedrunning the Chapters of SAO MD with high leveled characters and all about Hacking Crystals

I've seen only 1 run so far from this game, and it was from the mod. What I immediatley noticed, was that his characters were no higher than Lv 21. My characters are Lv 100, Lv 100 and Lv 85. If you go to Extra quest, go to the 2nd tab and go to the S-class ingredient drop quest sections, you can really farm XP. do this with a 2× EXP item, and you can really get to Lv 80 fast. I say Lv 80, as that is the max level cap for 5* or rarer characters without using Hacking crystals.

The way you obtain hacking crystals, is by scouting duplicate characters. the rarer the character, the more hacking crystals you will get. If you scout a 5* you already have, you will get 100 crystals. the exact amount you need to limit break a character once. you need 400 crystals to get a Lv 80 5* character to Lv 100. with 6* it's different, however, as you need either Elemental sacred hacking crystals OR almighty sacred hacking crystals. how do you get these, you may ask? by dupe-scouting a 6* character of that element. I have a 6* water element Asuna that needs Water sacred hacking crystals. You can use regular crystals once, but it's still 100 crystals. after that, you need either elemental sacred hacking crystals or almighty sacred hacking crystals.

from those S-class quests that I mentioned earlier, you will get EXP potions. they will come in 3 sizes:
1. EXP potion [small]
2. EXP potion [large]
3. EXP X-potion

usually, you will get the large potions, but you will also get X-potions sometimes. use those on a total of 3 characters that you want to use. if you do the extra quests a lot, you will need 6 characters, but for the speedruns we don't do that
