The Great Race; a proposal for "Khalim" awards

[Walkiry]

I think I'm on to something here, 2:14:31 to level 20 with a poison javelin amazon. I think I'm going to try the complete speed run with her and see what happens.

This is what happened (untwinked, unassisted, players 1), timer started on creation and never stopped except for real pauses for fetching food and so on:

57:20 Andy lvl 7
1:12:55 Staff lvl 9
1:21:21(1) Cube lvl 11
1:27:33 Amulet lvl 12
1:55:33 Duriel lvl 13
2:05:12 Jade Figurine lvl 14
2:49:52 Book lvl 17
3:03:29 Orb Smashed lvl 18
3:15:40 Mephisto lvl 18
4:06:21(2) Diablo lvl 19
4:40:20 Arreat Summit lvl 19
4:40:59(3) lvl 20 (3,000 exp)
4:51:36 Ancients die, lvl 21

(1) Yes, I did get the staff before the cube, I ran all the way to the lost city to get the map layout as soon as possible, then used waypoints back to get the staff and the cube.

(2) Lack of teleport hurt the time a lot. As you can see, up to killing Mephisto the run was only 15 minutes slower than the one with Blazie. It took less than 10 minutes with Blazie to get to the Chaos Sanctuary, and the best part of 20 minutes for the amazon.

(3) Yup, I did have to go back to act II and whack a couple fo things to level up. although it was really close to get a perfect level 20 just before the Ancients.

I had to reroll the ancients once, somehow Talic was immune to Poison (but it didn't show anywhere other than the fact that he didn't turn green).

A sorceress SHOULD be able to knock down about 30 minutes with the use of teleport in act IV and V. I'll give Blazie a vileness weapon twink and check out her time for acts IV-V. But that'll be tomorrow :)
