OSRS Champions' Guild FAQ

Q - Speedrunning RuneScape?  Huh?
A - Anything can be a speedrun if you have a clear starting point and a clear goal.

Q - What are you trying to accomplish?
A - I am trying to enter the Champions' Guild as quickly as possible from a fresh account.  To do this, I need 32 quest points which I will obtain from completing various quests around the world.

Q - Why Ironman?  Why F2P?
A - The account must be an Ironman account so that I cannot get help with items or money from any other players.  Also F2P makes sense for the category as you have to start from a fresh account and buying membership for each reset would be silly.  However there are some interesting possible speedrun categories you could do on a members account.

Q - What is your PB/WR/goal etc?
A - My personal best time is 1:14:36.  My goal for now is just to keep improving.  The current WR is 1:14:34 by Muffan.

Q - How do you plan to get around the world so quickly without teleports?
A - With limited teleport options, Lumbridge becomes our hub.  We can get there pretty easily by dying and respawning, but we need to be careful not to have more than 3 tradeable items in our inventory when this happens, or else we lose them.  Late in the run we purchase the Chronicle which teleports us to the Champions' Guild near Varrock.  But for the most part, we have to do so much world traveling to collect stuff anyway that teleports aren't super useful.

Q - Why aren't you running?
A - Two reasons, the first one is weight.  At some points in the run I will be walking even though I have run energy, because I will be carrying less items later on.  In general, you want to run while you are carrying less weight, and walk when you're carrying more, though there are some exceptions.  The second reason is just to be more precise with my actions so that I don't lose ticks.  It's much easier to do things like opening a door without stopping if you're walking and not running.

Q - Why are you on a PvP world?
A - Lumbridge's bank is on the top floor of the castle, which takes quite a bit of time to get to.  When you're on a PvP world, there is a bank chest outside of the castle, and the area outside is also in a safe area.

Q - Why don't you do X quest?
A - There are 20 F2P quests (with the chance of more being added later) for a total of 42 quest points.  10 of these quests give multiple quest points, with some giving as many as 5.  We do 8 of those 10 quests, and then 4 of the remaining 10 worth 1 each.  The quests we don't do are longer or more difficult and don't give enough quest points to be worthwhile.

Q - How do you do Vampire Slayer and Demon Slayer with such low stats?
A - For Vampire Slayer, I will be using Magic and luring him into a safespot.  No extra grinding is required to be able to use Earth Strike, which is plenty strong enough to finish the fight.  The quest also gives us level 20 Attack, which makes Demon Slayer possible with melee.  Delrith only needs to be damaged twice in order to defeat him, and with 20 Attack and Silverlight, I'm fairly likely to defeat him, though it is very possible to die if I get unlucky with hits.

Q - Why not get more wines for healing on Delrith?
A - Wines cost 1gp and heal 11HP, but they also lower Attack.  While getting more wines would make us able to survive much longer on Delrith, after we've drank more than 3 wines we become very unlikely to ever hit him.  I'll bring 2-3 wines and not go out of my way to buy any more for this reason, and save other healing items like the bread and shrimps instead since they do not lower my stats.
