A summary of Time based events:

The boss required to be defeated for this race is: The Vaal Oversoul, located in The Ancient Pyramid.

  • The time recorded is based from the beginning of the race, not when your character is created.

  • Characters who die after completing the objective, will still be counted for receiving reward points except for the level-specific prizes.
  • Points are awarded at the end of the race, do not delete your characters until they have been moved to the permanent leagues.

OK, I acknowledge it has been a long day already and I have, in the past, not been able to count the number of fingers on my left hand, but at the top of this event post it says that this race will finish in 4 hours. Isn't there only three between 7pm and 10pm.

It is possible that POE is a time machine feature, but I can find the options menu for it ;)


ooh, ooooh I get it now... 4 hours from now it's 6pm. I probably shouldn't try this race, cause my brain is in slow motion obviously.

Really nice drops, I think I could manage with worse pieces of gear, but really bad layouts with lot of corrupted zones and dead ends since pretty much lower submerged cost me easily 3-4 minutes.
ProjectPT was right.
helman got 2 qs and ms boots

he isnt actually that good
overlevelt as usuall because of me never finding the right way.
someone teach me maplayouts ;)

This somehow turned into my best race ever, though I couldn't find/craft MS boots and my second QS only came at the Pyramid.
I always guessed the right way and managed to stay 1 level below the area level without being too idle, so I'm getting better with each race.

The best thing was finding a Vaal Orb and a Vaal Summon Skeletons.
