    Cox Grind (CM's and Solo's)

    in Blogs

    Posted

    Busy afk training the alt so I couldn't prescout for myself. Sent a few CM's instead cause I sold some shit for inq mace which should make tekton more consistent and 'faster'

     

    Got a sub 50 solo CM

    Need to work on finishing first floor before 11 minutes

    Gotta get to olm before 30 minutes if I want anything close to sub 40 (10 min olm will be average I think)

    Aight, so solo CM's are gonna be put on hiatus cause I can't be assed to do Tekton reset simulator for 20 minutes to get a kill within 5 minutes.

    Gonna wait till I can afford inquisitor's (armour or mace or both?) because I try it again.

     

    Gonna aim to scout some sort of vanguard raids so I don't have to prep ever but can take more than 4 brews into olm, until don't even need 4. At which point I can start grinding vtv's or any fast layout.

     

    Also tried a couple rope skips but I don't think the benefits / cost is worth it for me yet (Although it'll be helpful to learn for CM's in the future as well)

    I think the biggest difference is that I have scythe now?

     

    But for solo's I don't actually use scythe - I'm just doing lance 4:1 for melee.
    Yes there exists methods with scythe that are faster but I'm not good enough at 4:1 to take advantage of those methods even if I learn them.

     

    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    Ima skip ahead and say that our current PB'd are as follows:

     

    Solo Cox: 20:05

     

    My first goal here before I try to get any fancy layouts or another pb is to get my olm time to be sub 10. Anything above 10 is deemed a 'slow' olm.

    Really all I need to do is miss less ticks, set up cycle faster so I don't get tele'd around everywhere, and try to only brew right before ovl ticks (every 15 seconds) so I'm always hitting at 120 stats.

     

     

    Solo CM: 51:44

    Trio CM: 27:31

    5 Man CM: 25:32

     

    The BIGGEST time saves in all of the scales is to either not prep at all - or prep less.

     

    For CM's we've gone from doing massive prep to something like 11 brew 6 revites each to 'Africa Prep' which is this:

    8-5.png?width=440&height=82

     

    In fact we're now doing even less than that graph, and instead of prepping between shamans and vanguard, we're sending everyone down to vanguards with the pots we bring in. And when vangs are close to dying 1 guy will go up and prep. (They'll log out and log in when the team tags the lower level after thief/vesp/rope)

     

    Other gimmicks we do - that all speedy teams do - listed below

    Chopping mutt tree instead of freezing (saves similar time but this way we have less switches and more people on vengeance)

    Full rope skip + tele grab

    Venge bomb vasa

    Venge bomb demon if possible

     

     

    Milestones we aim for when speed running are:

     

    5 min first floor (our pb is like 5:30?)

    11min 2nd floor (pb is like 12:20)

    18min 3rd floor/olm start (pb is like 19:11)

    6 minute olm (pb is like 6:30)

     

    There's room to speed up everywhere but mostly the rooms are causing us trouble

    Been messing about for the past few months in CoX since I'm kinda burnt from ToB and Inferno.

    Didn't feel like posting about my alt's progress since multiple members have more accounts and more complete accounts for pking and pvming.

     

    Got really into doing speedy chambers and CM and I've been posting it in the discord for quite a while but felt like I could tell a 'better' story in the forums.

     

    So the endgame 'goals' are:

     

    Sub 17min Solo regular (WR is 14:45)

    Sub 24min Trio CM (WR is 22:45)

    Sub 23min 5 man CM (WR is 21:26)

     

    Oh probably a sub 40min Solo CM?(WR is 31:23) But this is gonna be fucking hell on earth to get

     

     

    Some milestones to get before those ones?

    Sub 20min Solo regular

    Sub 26min Trio CM

    Sub 25min 5 man CM

     

     

    Had to go pretty far back in the screenshots to see where I started

     

     

    1st solo?

    Earliest CM I could find

    Will post some more updates later about what I've done till now and what I / we (my team) have learned!

    Went 1/3 beating waves today only to die early during triple Jads.

     

    Gonna need to take a longer break to calm my nerves next time

     

    I'm consistently getting to jads in 2hrs now. Don't know if I want to get faster or just stay consistent but I did die twice on the 50s today as well which is sad

    Didn't have time to explain the last attempt and it's 4:40 am now and I've forgotten much about it.

     

    Main updates are that I'm using ancestral instead of Justi but basically using Arma only post wave 50. Got a lot better at flicking between two mobs (including melee + anything) to the point that most damage I receive is from bats and mini blobs

     

    Got a lucky 63 wave spawn and the rest of the waves till had were easy compared to the 60-63s

     

    Jads and triples is easy mechanically but the nerves for the first time are pretty crazy. Next time I see them will be even easier I hope

     

    Zuk fight was disappointing, killed the ranger in the first set and got zuk below 600 but I stayed at safe spot too long and ate a big zuk hit when I tried to catch up to shield. Gotta remember to stay a bit infront or in the middle of shield.

     

    Tomorrow will be fun if I can get back to sleep !!
