I can't download that map; it redirects me to the homepage.

They are displayed incorrectly in the inventory, which is amusing.

In short, I started a new game in Metatax. I immediately had a fresh idea: since killing Sir Lock on day 111 isn't mandatory, and he doesn't have any shackles, Mr. Fat can escape, and he can be bought on day 6. This way, we can explore a lot of useful magic early on (slow, blind, hypnotize), and after breaking through the rusty gates, we also get support from an additional hero.
I'm not sure yet if I'll try the idea of freeing Rusty or if I'll go for a more straightforward playthrough in the style of Dundee (plus Dessa and Fat). I want to play both options, the question is whether I'll have enough time and enthusiasm.

I looked at the post dates in that Xiedu walkthrough that took 79 days. It took the author exactly two years: from 2013-3-9 to 2015-3-9. That's intense.

On heroesportal, generating just the starting save for a record-breaking Wayfarer run took 2 weeks. I haven't been following their runs lately, but it seems they've been doing it for quite some time now, and it's a team effort rather than a solo run.

Yes, I looked into it a bit more thoroughly, and if the translation of the Chinese text is accurate, the author of the walkthrough got married during that time period :D
So, it takes about a couple of months of real time.

Regarding Wayfarer, I found a walkthrough from Chinese players that took 3 months of in-game time, so there's probably little point in trying to improve anything in that direction.

What about map versions for speedrunning? If you want to break a record, you'll need to find the same map version, especially if they differ significantly.

The author of the walkthrough, Xiedu, mentions in his third post in the thread that 79 days is the theoretical minimum time to complete this map, considering the logistics involved.

If he's right, there's nothing to improve, which is a shame. And since it's a different version now, there's even less point.

With the Fat ransom on Metatasker, you don't have to give up the Blade of Armageddon, as he has combat magic to take down one Wizard. This is if you're not playing with the expectation of redeeming Rusty. Right now, I'm at 117, and I really want to play a straightforward game, saving the Rusty option for the future.

There's no 100% certainty that the Rust option is feasible; there are some unclear aspects. Plus, I'd also like to have as much fun with it as Dandy and you did.

I'm not 100% sure that the option with Rasty is feasible; there are some unclear aspects.

It's unclear how the logistics will work.
