Hey everyone! I just started grushing and it’s been a blast it’s like like speed running. I hosted my first few runs for free/tips as I get the hang of things. I could tell they were progressively faster.

Any tips or advice from veteran rushers? How do I make setup faster? How’re you setting up games, progressing thru acts in 30mins?. This is my first ladder back so even the most basic I may have missed. For example I just found out the missing symbol from the summoner is the correct tomb.

Learning map tricks and just being efficient at keeping the chars alive is the best way just by opening up a new room.

Subtle things like teleport behind Travincal vs starting at the waypoint is another thing where the chars being rushed can be close enough to get the quest.

If people can't talk to Drognan in Act 2 cause of the blocking guards, you can Tp under the stairs at Cellar 1 and they can just walk up.

Pre map the area with a char so you can navigate faster, particularly Act 2 and 3.

put map layouts on 2nd monitor. I am pretty slow but if you know which way to go all the sudden you super fast.

This tip is a great idea when do I do this is it right before I finish summoner or before?

There is a 100% way to make sure guards do not block Jeryhn. Make sure someone who needs quest talks to Drognan right before you enter Arcane Sanctuary.

I used to clear chaos when rushees where walking to act 3 but that time is over unfortunately.

You can collect organs in advance but you need a nightmare char for nightmare organs and one for hell.

Also I use a inventory full of FRW charms + Harmony bow on a 200fcr sorc.

You need experienced rushees too for a fast and efficient rush. I recently had someone who just was not collecting the organs and i found out at Travi :D

Damn that would be next level pre-farming organs on a separate account haha I'd need to multi-client to do that tho
Thanks that's the guide I used to get my grounds going think I'm averaging about 1hr a run now sometimes faster. Sort of depends how fast my leechers let me go :P
Fastest I've gone was about 45 mins with some gg leechers who were on it

When you clear Act1 and 2 he can do 3 and 4
