ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED:

Kill merveil with a rusted spike and jade hatchet.
MS alched at lvl 16
No QS
New strats, brainfarted and sold 18 trans shards when should've bought a jade (had a blue UNID item in inventory)

Overall, worst performance & RNG on my races this season.
And a good way to end this race is to get a perfect storm in Northern Forest:

Was this race SEED particularly hard? or because i used frost blade as a ranger for the first time or because it was amberwake?

I felt the seed was made so you can skip everything without trying. I wasnt even trying to racing,just played as i like to do in races and took my time. At one point i was 3 level under map level! I like to be borderline2 about to level. i had to make 1 level for brutus(9) and for merveil(12) too(i kited merveil around for at least five minutes then the race ended) first time i cant beat merveil but at least i didnt die.

I never once, in any other race, had to go make a few level so i could pass a boss. First time ranger with frost blade and i attributed my hard time to that but i learned at the end Amberwake has increased difficulty. I still think the seed was worse offender at increasing difficulty, anyone agrees?
