I've started running Hell Meph, and I wanted to give a few stats on his runs in case people are interested.
Area: Hell Meph
Character type: Summoner/Fire Claws hybrid
MF amount: 408%
Players setting: 3 (as stated in the original rules, Hobbes may run any boss at any players setting as long as he kills them on p8 first)
Run speed: 50+ per hour (runs are extremely consistent, never running longer than 1:05 but usually between 55 seconds and a minute, this includes restocking pots/repairing)
Reaper's Toll: 1:586
Arachnid Mesh:1:875
Gore Rider: 882
Stormshield: 1:895
Jalal's Mane: 1:978
Mara's: 1:3610
Also need either a BK ring or soj, but the chances are so low from hell Meph that I'm not even listing them.
Let's begin! Re-rolled this map after about 30 minutes. It's especially good because there are zero monsters on the path to the bridge and the council members are off to the side. This means I can run to the bridge unshifted and use my teleport stick to cross it without having to do the extra shift/unshift, not to mention the safety factor of not having anything in your path.

Found Ali Baba in one of my first runs, beats Gull anyways (I swap Beast for MF weapon right before kill). You may notice that his life is a lot lower, this is because Hobbes is now in MF gear and all of his vita charms have been replaced by MF charms.

Swapped out Sandstorm for IK to gain some FRW, the life doesn't hurt either.
