User blog comment:Kraissant/Dragon's Dogma Speedrun Route 2.0/@comment-5166842-20131023151032

Anyone here ever do a true speedrun, as in from scratch? I found Speedrun Mode using established characters pretty unrewarding, so I've been thinking about doing one. Pretty daunting though.

For one thing, if I go Strider I'm going to do jack for damage, and there are no potential dagger drops early, as far as I know... at least not decent ones. I'm considering running up to Soulflayer Canyon to grab a decent weapon (I could place a Portcrystal nearby for The Final Battle at the same time), but I don't know if it'd be worth the time.

Ideas?
