Zizaran's Full Racing / Leveling Guide (3.5 viable) 4hours To Act 10

very nice keen for part 2 if you end up doing it

"4h to act 10". Yeah sure. Everyone will be able to get to act 10 in 4h just by following this guide, its not like you need years of speedrunning practice to do this...

It's sad that this is the current state of PoE. Playing PoE now and it's just how fast can you rush to maps. GGG, why did you take PoE down the speed rabbit hole. Where is the arpg challenge in the 10 acts? And no, just adding more one-shot death bosses or doubling xp to level up is not the answer.

thanks for write up

It's dismal this is the present territory of PoE. Playing PoE now and it's exactly how quick would you be able to race to maps. GGG, for what reason did you bring PoE down the speed rabbit opening. Where is the arpg challenge in the 10 demonstrations? What's more, no, simply including increasingly one-shot demise supervisors or multiplying xp to step up isn't the appropriate response.

This isn't "the state of PoE". It's an aberrant playstyle enjoyed by a few people who want you to think that playing the game any other way is wrong. It's not. Full clears. Check out the dialog. Interact with the new league as you go. Do whatever the fuck you enjoy. But don't put "this is the state of PoE" on this.

It's hard to tell if you're serious sometimes when you post these overly dramatic responses.

People have done speedruns for many years for many games.

But on path of exile it's somehow the state of the game when someone does something not many can do or bother doing.

Are you one-shotting bosses? I doubt it.
Have you seen someone one-shot a boss? Most likely.

I lvled 100 or more characters in all that time I play and it still takes me like 6h with lvling gear, more when its start of the league.

Just following guide wont shorten in to 4h. The most important thing is multitasking - you never stop to look at items, you swap items/gems while running and mid fight.

As others mentioned there are a few things that are a bit non-optimal but overall great write up (I've always preferred a written guide to a video one).

I don't get the whiny-ness about speed running in the comments... this game was built early on with the idea of racing. This has actually led to some pretty clever ideas in game (visual / audio "tells" for directions, I wish that was in every aRPG honestly) for making the most of your time to the top.

I don't think "the majority" of people play this way, hell I know most of this stuff and very rarely push myself to this level of efficiency just because I dont really care how quickly I get to endgame. At the same time I'm alot faster than I was when I first started just because I know what I need to do and where to go.
