Gedonia speedrun to level 70 (max level)
Rules: Timer starts when pressing the "Next" button in the first frame of the first loading screen. Timer ends after reaching 70 level. Played on patch 1.21a (latest at time of run) with easiest difficulty settings. Bard chord damage used in this run has been substantially nerfed in patch 1.22a. At time of writing, I haven't re-ran the level 70 category in current patch.
Without all of the deaths of the previous attempt, this one is about 30 minutes faster. It could still be improved as I managed to die a handful of times, and there's some spots where I was only guessing the next best place to go. There's probably some exp trick as well that we haven't found yet, but none are used here! Just a little bit of questing to make the grind easier, gearing for HP, then a lot of grinding with what I believe is the most powerful skill tree in the current patch (1.21a). I leverage the world respawn that seems to occur after about an hour of gametime. I also tried to save my waypoint exp bonuses until a high level, in hopes they'd be substantial, but they weren't as big as I hoped. It would be cool to see this run done before a world respawn is able to happen.
