Since the last one which is Spiral Knights My Challenge is a failure and worst, with the arrival of fire crystal which take some time to obtain needed
to heat up 2* - 4* weapon, I decided that My Challenge is no more and is discontinued. Getting the requirement weapon to do My Challenge
is just too time consuming, even you have the energy, crowns, fire crystal and activate weapon slot and heat amplier.

Now on to important which is Spiral Knights Arcade Speed Run Competition Special.

Detail is found within my video under https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exR6dMd-izg

To enter into the competition.
You need to show a video showing your speed run attempts
You may use any equipment you like. You are not require to show the equipment you're using. Unique variants are allowed and you may use extra weapon slot and trinklet slot. Battle sprite can be used.
Here is the conditions it need to be met:-
1. You need to show the difficulty you are playing. The difficulty must be Elite.
2. The time start from the moment you hit the Start Button under Arcade.
3. You must start from Depth 0 and end with Depth 29 with no breaks.
4. You cannot remove any clip especially during loading. Loading time is included. If you remove any clip, you run into the risk of invalid speed run and therefore don't count.
5. Video can be posted in any video sharing website or under your own website, as long i can see the video and let me know. I NOT EXPECTING PERFECT QUALITY.
6. Once video is published, be sure to let me know so i see the video. I may even subscribes to your video.
It is highly recommended that you post a comment under my video under this URL

7. Try and get your video in under an hour to improve the chance of winning the prize. TIP If you video is over 80 minutes, chance of winning may be slim.
8. You may do the speed run with your party. If you do the speed with your party and happen to win, then winning prize is split amongst those party members.
Only up to 4 different players, including you, are allowed but other players may decides to leave and return later.
9. Death and spark of life is allowed but should be avoided.
10. Any party member may decides to remain ko during the depth. It is acceptable.

That is all. I wish you everyone good luck in completing.
Winning Prize is 200,000 crowns and a Haunted Aura. Haunted Aura cannot be split and is given to only one player.
Competition end one day before the Spiral Knight Halloween Event 2014.
Oh yes by the way, i am not allowed to enter in this competition since i am hosting it and i not allowed to help any player completing the speed run.

Good luck to you all and may the best knight or best team wins.

I might try to enter. I do have a decent recording program, so I could probably whip something up. Can the run be in any arcade gate?

Response to Extra-Salty and Autofire

Ok Autofire. Good question.
You can do this run in any gate as you like. You might want to start attempting right now because it going to take couple of attempts to get the run perfect.

As for you Extra-Salty.
Long loading can be annoying. It can be bad for the team because other party members has to wait for you to complete loading. I highly recommended you do this speed run on solo.
I make a deal with you. If you post the video showing these insane long loading time, i probably could compensates you for these long loading time.
Personally insane long loading isn't fair for anyone.

I also forgot to mention that if anyone experience connection lost issue. Keep recording it and keep the spiral knight application open. Because if your connection lost happen to cost you massive time, i would compensate you for that also.

TIP:-
When you attempt to create a full party, make sure that every players has fast loading time. Anyone with slow loading, everyone with fast loading has to wait in some depth especially the boss depth and Graveyard.

That is all.

Ok, thanks! It bothers me a bit that I cannot know when the Halloween event begins, so I don't know how much time I have, etc. That being said, I do intend of making at least two runs, and posting the best of the two. I might take one other party member, but I might also solo. I am not sure.

Also, I assume that there is not and benefit from killing enemies, right? So I can just run past things?
