Would anyone like to run a friendly competition with me?
Nothing super official about this, just a fun and truly challenging process for those who may want to attempt it. (Plus bragging rights? )

Rules:
1. HC only, 100% new character of your choice.
2. No pre-existing gear can be used, no new gear can be bought.
3. No joining a group (including solo guild-only), straight solo play only.
4. No rerolls

It will last until all but one competitor RIPS, quits, or 1 person hits level 60. -- (I decided 71 is too much to ask for characters grinding like this)
Of course, you may do other climbs on other characters if you choose so long as nothing touches the grinder character except what it finds on it's own.
It's not at all a quick process or one that most people are likely to finish or succeed with, so the start time isn't of huge importance. I'd like to see everyone wait until there are at least 3 more character links posted though.

I may toss around a little fg if anyone impresses me, but there are no fg rewards planned for this otherwise.


Post your character link if you are in!

No rerolls make me not want to do this also no fg reward now.

You mean, if someone doesn't have a free slot to create a new Character, they have to delete and remake one?
Because, I would think even a lvl 1 mule might have 1 action with a wpn or charm, wich would make it not a 100% New

If you get any Fg donations for this, I'll be glad to hold them, if you required it
Pretty sure Rick would also

It's a interesting competition though

Adding fg rewards brings in cheating. I don't think anyone wants to stalk the competitors 24/7 to make sure they aren't using different gear, joining a group, etc, etc.
It should be just for fun and bragging rights I think.

-- The reroll part could be debated.
I'd be happy if even one other person wanted to take this fairly seriously and have a little competition with me, but I wanted to open it up just in case there's a few people out there who might be interested.



I deleted and remade my character, and that would be the preferred method if there isn't a character slot available. It's a concern of having the proper starting gear more than anything else.

I don't think I want to bring fg into it. Too much to monitor for it to be kept clean. People have cheated in past competitions where they had to work 5x harder to pull it off than they would have to on something like this.
I will personally donate fg to people who impress me with their efforts though.

How do you feel about me using my main? Only has 2 climbs and 1 melee prof and I'd be rerolling to a Barb melee only

I'd really like to participate, but dont want the profs earned to go to waste on another char. Would of course clear the fish off my char too

Doesn't really matter to me honestly. 1 prof is a couple levels of clicking with default starting gear, and it makes very little difference on gear like this.
If you can find a tier 1 non-magical club to start your barb with it'd be fine imo. Ofc no other gear can ever touch the character other than what is found then.



Nothing but a tier 1 club

Yep yep, that was my next question, I forgot what they start with. Is it just a T1 club? no armor/charms right?

Ok count me in, found a club. Let me know when we can start

if there is not rules stuck to this i will not join i have my character set just gotta remake the char once there is more people into this i know i can grind maybe 10 levels without reroll unless i get lucky wont be go further prolly

Why do you need to reroll so bad? Not that I'm against it

I've made it to 20 (as far as I've gone w/o quitting in the past) without rerolling quite easily .. other than the obvious slowness of this sort of leveling. Oh, and this was before abilities existed so it's probably even easier now.

I'd like to wait for 2 more people before it starts, and after that people can start as soon as they like if they've posted the link showing their appropriate character before hand.
Most likely this will be a bit later today for the start, I'm going to bed.
