From Mog to you: Darkhold full clear, 4 chests, 20 minutes remaining.

If clearing the place in 20 minutes is the last chest, By damn that is going to be hard...

We skipped EVERYTHING we could and had no deaths, killed both bosses in mad time...

Jesus...

Just running to ogre is 5-7 minutes,
killing it is another 7
opening drake, killing drakes, popping skellies, killing skellies, getting captain chest, and back into batraals room - 10 minutes
Killing Batraal 5-10 minutes

We got it down to 30 minutes.. but 20?
o.O

Did they skip all chests? Skip opening drake? Run straight to 4 blues in skelly and AOE down the set?

To get chest 4, you must have to skip all others or something.

from what we know, it's clearing it in < 25 minutes. Making sure everyone has Quickstride and using them at the same time when Bowmanship traited CON/THM cooldown is up, skipping all extra lights/rooms and AoEing the full skeleton pack should get you to Batraal with 45~48 minutes left on the dungeon clock. The rest from there is ez pz.

[sammmmmyyy]

so would that mean you can skip other chests to save time, to get that 1 chest to pop?

correct, there is no need to grab the others if you only want sword/bow chest.

Good luck to you! I really would like to have this confirmed by someone else if this damn-hard-condition is really true. I just can't / don't want to believe this is true. Those kind of speed-runs only favour specific kinds of jobs. What if you only have a LNC50 or MRD50? "Can i join?" - "No, you don't do enough DMG/AoE-DMG, sorry. THM/ARC only." Yeah. Hurray! \>_</

it can easily be done with Melee in the group, no doubt. + MRD tank on Batraal is a faster kill in the long run.

7 mages, chain sleeping everything OTW to Ogre would take about 4 minutes I think. (Would only need to slot Sac2/3 Cure2/3, Quickstride, Banish 2, Scourge 2, Sleep?)

quick swap to jobs for Ogre (Arc's or w/e), kill it ~7 minutes leaving 49 left, swap to mages -> Run past the 8 ghost + toad? or AE one group down and run past others... unsure. Pop Circles -> 7 mages AE on skulls <1m.

I forgot if its the Ghosts of Skulls that can be slept...

I'd give it at 45m left for Bartaal, I'd suggest just offtanking last set of 3 skeletons too picked up on 2 DPS? Or just have 1 extra THM try to take them all and Deflection,Aegis Boon, Nuke / Heal through them... Not exactly sure but trying to save some time

Possibly kill all 3 by grouping them up and AEing them down also. I think they got like 20,000 HP or so.


Just trying to think this through in my head how to do :O
