F2P Valiant Speedrun … Round 2???

Well hello again everyone!
Some people may remember me on the forums for the speedruns that I do from time to time, most recently being F2P Valiant Speedrun in 21 Days.
I thought that record wouldn’t be beaten for a very long time, I’m talking like a year or so.
But with the release of the crucible, a new interesting path to Valiant has been presented.
One of the largest chunks of content I had to do in the first run was to 100% act 8. This was 108 paths, and took me from the end of Day 7 to Day 20 to complete.
However, now it is possible to become Valiant without 100% act 8 (in a quick amount of time that is, technically you can 100% necro or like wait through spring of suffering type content but that’s not what this is about). Now, the most efficient route to Valiant is to complete 8.3 (maybe do 8.4 for some extra rewards but not needed), to complete necro and explore the crucible on legendary difficulty.
This could MASSIVELY reduce the record from 21 days, to possibly less than 14 days.

So what this post is about. Would people like to see a round 2 of my own challenge? With YT set up now, there would be lots more streams, vids, recaps etc. as well as the usual recap on forums for those who like that bit of bedtime reading 😂.

I’ll monitor responses and if it’s an overwhelming yes, I’ll inform Kabam to pls not ban me for speed 😅, and set a date to start the challenge.

Oh hell yea. Obviously another NAC would be very fun for us, but I don’t wanna be selfish. Only do it if you’re up for it and it doesn’t interfere with real life stuff.

And yea, crucible has made this wayyyy easier to do. You’d still maybe have to get lucky with pulling a couple good champs for necro, but if you do, I see no way you don’t smash your previous record.

If you go for it, best of luck!! I’ll be watching the whole way through.

I'm all for it. But could you make it even harder and do a TB straight to Valiant speedrun and just skip the paragon requirement? Pretty please.

This is an interesting concept I’ve thought about too.
Unless I’m losing my mind (I mean possible but anyway), I believe there is someone already doing this concept, and they was waiting for that second 2-3 to be achievable without necro (as necro requires paragon).
If somebody knows who this player is and/or they have a forum thread about it, please link me to it because I don’t want to steal their content/idea and take away any traction they had from it.

I think (big emphases on think because I still don’t have the details sorted) im going to stick to just a normal speedrun, but this may be a concept I come back to in the future.

@Cantona59, you already know the answer to this.

Get an Amazon wish list, let me slide you a crate of 24 white monsters and everyday for 14 days I want to be waking up to your little screenshots of who you pulled and ranked and write ups of how much better at the game you are than me.

I want nothing else from life for the next fortnight.

Off you go, chief.

Would be really cool to see!

Just wait another year or so and we'll be talking speed runs for the next title (whatever it may be called).

Cantona59

Wow! Seems like a decent amount of people would like to see it happen again.
I’ll be honest, the run probably won’t happen for around a month due to real life stuff, and essentially planning out enough time to get it done. I made the post this far in advance just to get a feeling on community opinion, cause if people didn’t really care I wouldn’t put the effort in to do it.
I’ll keep monitoring any more responses, and come back to this post when I know a date/approx date I’ll be starting it
