The previous record, also by p0werm0de, was 31:26. Breaking 30 minutes was considered very hard to say the least, then this happened:

  Code:

  9009 | Lair:2   | Identified the +11 battleaxe of Odylonag {speed, rN+ Str+9 Int+4} (You acquired it on level 2 of the Lair of Beasts)

A certain other realtime speedrunner already declared quitting with words that might be breaking the forum rules, so I'm not going to quote them here. Also good luck to anyone trying to beat this amount of luck skill.

Hell yeah. I knew it could be done, it was just a question of when.

I was considering doing some speedruns again but now it's gonna be purely for fun because I'm not putting in the time to try and get the rng required to beat that lmao

That foul-mouthed realtimer was me, and I am a big fat liar:

  Code:

3729. pureman the Pandemonic (L22 DDFi of Makhleb), escaped with the Orb and 3 runes on 2018-06-01 01:18:36, with 3289499 points after 21625 turns and 0:28:31.

Highlights include an early broad axe of electrocution and this insane PDS:

  Code:

A - +9 pearl dragon scales of Classification {+Blink rF+++ rN+ rCorr Str-3}

Now I'm going to actually take a break from speedrunning for a few weeks; I've accomplished my goal of winning in under 30 minutes, and beating 26:44 would require such a near-perfect run that I won't bother trying any time soon.

I actually think it's gonna take years for anyone to get a run good enough to beat this.

I play just for the chance at PDS like that.
