On the topic of commissions Absolutely agree with goldenONX. We need to agree on how each IL is decided, like specifying the commission is closest to say a certain teleporter (e.g. from world map view, northwest to Temple of the Wolf) with a provided screenshot. If we allow similar commission with variant locations and distance from closest teleporter (i.e. more general), it would be easier to have a chance to attempt it, but might make the category less consistent. Whichever the case is, my main point is that categorizing different commissions as IL should be the direction of make commission a speedrun category to minimize inconsistencies.

On the topic of Azhdaha, The Pros and Cons will definitely be there, due to the resistances and elemental that Azhdaha will infuse. The point of separating the records is to allow strategizing for different elemental infusion. Another idea after some thoughts is that, the elemental infusion might be better off as a route. In this scenario, we can keep all the records together, and also knowing which elemental infusion each run is using, which might help in understanding or strategizing better time saves.

My thoughts on the daily commission runs is that we would only count individual commissions as IL category (similar to each world boss), as otherwise it's too inconsistent for the runners, and maybe 1 extra category for collecting the commission reward at each region of your choice.

Each run would start the time from when the player takes control of the character after teleporting to the closest possible teleporter. This way we can retry many times or trying out routing ideas for the shortest possible time.

I'm migrating my Azhdaha expansion idea here since it might be better/easier to discuss here instead of a new thread.

I'm not sure if this is ever discussed or mentioned anywhere else previously. I felt that Azhdaha's category should be further split down into the possible elemental infusion of the week.

The downside is obvious we can only attempt it every 4 weeks (I think, can't remember if there's only 4 total combinations).

However, wouldn't it be more fair to have WR for different infusions as different infusions means you might have a different team for it? Primarily due to the fact that infused element(s) have additional resistance to dmg dealt for that element (e.g. Hydro infused Azhdaha would have additional Hydro resist and Hydro dps can't be as efficient as other elemental dps)

That last moment that we just spam food because can't reach the safe spot.

Also feel free to try take the 2 characters spot.

That fischl skipping camera lock is a good idea for earlier and faster setup.
