Hello !!
Typically I will only retime runs that are very off in starting or stopping time, however if you'd like you can request your run be retimed.
Please reply to this thread and if you have multiple runs, which one !!! I can also retime your unverified runs.
Thank you !!
The rules have been adjusted to allow Any% to be run on exclusively Amethyst Mountain.
I don't think a vote has any chance of happening, not because of me being willing or not willing to host one, but because this game is simply inactive. I've been alone moderating this game since it was added and I'm fine with that role.
The any% is Amethyst Mountain and Slough Creek only because of how inactive the game is. I've expressed several times if the game begins to be popular enough for running again, I'm completely willing to adjust rules and add categories, but quite simply and as said several times, this game is inactive.
I understand the frustration and I appreciate being informed of it but this is at least the third time I have explain it's just because the game is inactive.
I'm exhausted. This game was inactive for well over a year and still is.
The rules weren't updated to the latest versions because they came very quickly and I simply haven't had time to make rules that work for every map. Its for the sake of moderation. Until the game has a point to be updated more, it's like this to keep it fair.
I'll adjust the Any% to allow to be runned solely on Amethyst Mountain and you can resubmit your run to be verified.
There's no required graphics for any run. In the kindest way possible, if someone is running it on the lowest graphics and the game still can barely run, I'd recommend running 2.7 instead. That isn't about money.
The current rules have been sitting in a document for about a year and a half, almost two years now. I couldn't keep letting them sit around so they were updated to be more professional.
If there are issues, please directly message me instead of making forum posts. It's much easier to discuss there.
Again, please contact me directly next time this happens, it is significantly easier to handle there, at least for me.
Until the game has more active runners and I have time to do it, I will not be hosting a vote for rules. Again, I'll update the rules to allow Any% to be run on exclusively Amethyst Mountain now and your run can be resubmitted and verified.
Any% is beating the game start to finish. It wouldn't be beating the game from the start if you already had several parts of the game done. You don't start a Hollow Knight speedrun in the middle of the game. You don't start a Rain World speedrun after sheltering. You start at the very beginning, that's what it means.
Load times are simply not a WolfQuest-specific issue. It's a common rule for load times to be included in the time. Plus, its a singular load screen that doesn't take nearly as long as the one starting the game, which does not count for load times as the run starts after.
Thank you for informing me of the issues.
Hi !!! Love these ideas. If the game gets some traction again I'll definitely consider adding these, thank you so much !!
Hi !!! Currently, the run must begin on Amethyst Mountain and you can exit to the main menu to then teleport to Slough Creek to continue run.

Hello! Sorry for the late response.
I am aware of the new ways to complete the game, however, due to the rather small amount of runners and the fact there hasn't been any new runs in over a year I don't currently find it nessecary. It simplifies verification significantly and removes the need for extra categories.
The rules were updated today to ones that are better-written and more comprehensible, hopefully that clears up the confusion around maps. All individual categories state the map that is to be used as well as if pre-made wolves are allowed, however, fresh save files are required regardless of category.
Disband% could be an interesting category, if the game picks up speedrunners again I might add more categories like that, but unfortunately and as stated previously, there just aren't any active runners of Wolfquest anymore.
Thank you!
HAHA that'd be quite funny, but I do need to work on adding rules for the new lost river dlc! I plan on making a seperate category for lost river runs (a lost river any%, die%, ect) but I don't have a lot of time at the moment. I'm working on it though!
Timing was off, retimed for you! Please make sure to keep that in mind for future runs.
Very sorry for the extremely late reply, I wans't notified of a new forum. It's for moderation purposes, it takes a lot more effort to make sure that everything happening can happen with all the areas. If multiplayer becomes a more popular category then I'll add some individual levels in the multiplayer category for the different areas. But right now, there is one run and I don't think there's a lot of people planning a multiplayer run, so it's easier to stick to one area until it's necessary to add more.
Really sorry, I didn't see this until now- I've just added multiplayer as a category, currently it's just raising pups, but I do like that idea! Claim all possible hexes, probably in Lost River or Amethyst Mountain- I'll definitely think about it!
just in case you were confused, I edited the time, after counting the seconds during and after the speedrun started and ended you were a little off ^^
nice run! how'd you find the low-health elk so fast? I can never find the low ones-
i feel beyond awkward asking this, but can you try and be sure to give the runs the right device? NotFienOSaur speedran on switch and it's marked as PC and it could end up causing confusion, and there are some perks to both that are impossible on the other, or nearly impossible/very difficult. Thanks!!
Hi! So the moderator for WolfQuest 2.5/2.7 hasn't been online in two months- I had originally contacted them in messages trying to ask about making the game a series and such once I added the new one, Anniversary Edition, but they never replied. I tried to contact them on discord but they never accepted my friend request so I can't actually DM them, and I'm not sure about what to do. I don't have any pending runs for the game but I'm concerned on if there could be and if there ever will be and they are never verified because of this- There are no other moderators on the team if that's something I need to mention.
