OMG! Lol. I know. Same thing happened with me and a friend of mine. We joined this crew and someone in the crew said we are going to "speed." I wasn't sure what they meant by that but we decided to stay in the crew anyway and see how it goes. As soon as we enter the whirlpool, everyone just starts running. Lmao. rofl

It was kind of funny but I didn't like it. I now know I do not like "speed." I prefer to do the chests or kill all the animated together as a group even if it is time consuming.

I think maybe they run to get to end boss faster? Or maybe it's a race and whoever wins gets a prize! biggrin

I seriously don't know. -shrug- All I know is I don't like it. :[

From what I gather [having been in a few speed runs myself, yet not knowing anything about them] it's when you go for the main chests. Usually, you skip the chest by the Coral fluffs and "speed" your way through a path to the seahorse bridge tail. You defeat the Animated there, then continue on to the next spot. The spot differs with the crew, but it is usually the "safe spot" you get to on the one path above the Anchor Bugs, but before you reach the Queen. You then go up, like you were on your way to the queen, but head to the right and make your way to the three chests. Clear enemies, open chests, then run to Queen and defeat her. Enter next area.

In the next area, you do both chests, killing whatever Animated followed you or your crew on the screen. After you open the second chest in the Undersea Ledge, you rush past the remaining Grunny Subs and onto the next area.

Open the chest, continue on.

Run past all the Grunny Subs to the area where the safe is. After the Grunny Sub Commander is killed, people usually die.

End. xD

word to what romance said

i think we guys should do a ss run without speed as a clan D8 cause speed is "complicated"

I actually like speed, especially super speed o:

It doesn't take too long (with a crew that knows what they're doing, of course)
I've done speed for an hour straight, and got some pretty good gold and orbs.

Some people likes speed more than super speed,
'Cause super speed is too fast, and they can't follow up with the whole crew.
But I personally prefer super speed (aka chest run)
The crew just basically opens up the chests. Instead of killing animated, we use either scaredy cat, duct tape or quicksand
to get the animated out of our way. The queen and the commander is the only times we have to attack.
A good super speed crew should take around 4.5-5 minutes

Does speed still exist? I haven't done anything EB or SS runs in a long time and I've created a new account and abandoned my old one so I'm starting from scratch. I have no idea what's new with EB and SS runs.

The point of speed runs is to earn the most amount of gaia gold possible as quickly as possible. then repeat....


I kinda got tired of doing speed runs myself, I prefer kill everything in sight runs.

Ha! Yesterday was the first time I crewed and the first time I didn't land in Crystal Cave for ages. Today's my 2nd day out. I think speed may be gone before I get there....

Update: 5/22/11 Now am cl 8.4 and have 4 other rings almost at that level, but haven't been past Bass'ken a lot yet. At least I have an idea of what you are talking about.

Update: 6/15/11 Now am cl 8.5 and have another 7 rings at that level. Am comfortable at Golds Beach now, still have quests to do in Old Aqueduct. Have been to Otami and Shallow Seas several times (never alone), but with SS I jammed on 2nd try, couldn't load it and on 3rd try jammed after I got in. Need to try the Firefox add-on's for lag. The description of 'speed' is starting to make sense....
