I haven't really seen anyone mention this one to my knowledge. I think this could be an interesting category for 3 reasons.
-
New route with new quests.
-
Possible new class meta that isn't just storm.
-
Most known boss probably in Wiz history.
-
How the run will work I think is pretty simple. No rules would change from the other %'s. You still start with a fresh character, you have to go through Unicorn Way like you would for the other boss %'s. The main difference is that instead of focusing on the main storyline you go straight to a side quest with a side quest boss.
-
Kraken% could see the start of a new meta as well. Being that the Kraken is your final achievement storm might not be the best option to take on the Kraken. Only time will tell however, if this would ever become a reality.

The Kraken is that boss where every wizard who ever was stuck in free-to-play wanted to constantly fight after finishing Triton Avenue. I remember, and I'm sure a lot of runners, a time where I would camp the Kraken because I thought it would drop a pet. It is just a huge milestone in every Wizards heart.
Just a thought I had late at night while watching some runs on the leaderboard. Let me know what you think.
After some research, I think this would go very well with a "misc." category (Gobbler King%) would also be nice to see in "misc."
You can completely skip the Judd/pet tower which alone makes this a cool category for misc.
I'll talk to VGP about this but I think it's a really cool idea!
Wow didn't expect you guys to try it out but just watching the run makes it look pretty awesome. Also another note that I didn't realize when writing that post is that this is a completely F2P run. Which could potentially grow more interest into the category and speed-running this game in general.
Hello all!
We have made a number of changes to both of the boards.
- Legacy runs for General Akilles% and Alicane Swiftarrow% have been moved to the "[Retired Runs Spreadsheet](
