Pert's February Bingo Race - February 9th at 6 PM CET (Brands + Arc banned)

I'll be running a Path of Exile Bingo SSF race next weekend. For those familiar with other speedrunning games, think Ocarina of Time Bingo or Super Mario 64 Bingo, just with PoE specific challenges.

Tl;dr rules: Kill A10 Kitava and complete a row, column, or main diagonal of the Bingo Card. You cannot use Arc, Storm Brand, or Armageddon Brand

For those looking for a more in-depth explanation of how this race works, check out the Rules and some sample Bingo Cards below:

Vods from prior Bingo Races:


Please Note: THIS IS A SOFTCORE SSF RACE. However, the center square of EVERY Bingo Card is DO NOT DIE, so attempting to play Hardcore will open up additional choices on your Card.

Aditionally, for this months race Arc, Storm Brand and Armageddon Brand are banned. Bingo is meant to be a race that encourages non-meta playstyles; the current strength and popularity of these skills discourages experimentation.


---------------------------------------------------------------------

This race will be open to any interested participants, although to be considered the winner some form of stream / video must be provided upon completion. I've created the league with 30 slots initially and will add more / open up crowdfunding based on interest. If you are interested in joining leave a post here, apply on the Private League Page, ask for an invite in the #poe-bingo channel in Discord, or message me on the forums to be added.

If you do participate, please review the rules page on the Google Doc for important specifics on how each Bingo Square must be completed. Please note, some keywords and cards have been changed since the January Race for clarity / brevity.

The race will begin at 6 PM CET on Saturday February 9th. The Bingo Card used for the race will be released 10 minutes prior to the start of the race in this thread, in our Discord, and in the Private League Global 822. This will allow participants a brief period to plan out their character. A countdown timer to both the Race Start and Bingo Care Release can be found below:

This is so much fun. Feel sad I can't make this one and lose to DeadandDoom again. Excited to see how this one works out and see it's evolution.
The bingo card we're using can be found here. Remember, Storm Brand, Armaggeddon Brand, and Arc are all banned:

When you finish please type "DONE" in Global 822 followed by what you chose (row 3, col 5, top left bottom right). The left most column is column 1, the top row is row 1. If you have any questions please post them in the #poe-bingo channel in Kammell's discord, in Global 822 in the private league, or message me directly in game @Pert_askmeabouttherules. Any questions posted here will not be answered as quickly as in the previously mentioned locations.

Square-Specific Notes / Clarifications below:
Spoiler
Square 16: You must have a flask of each mentioned suffix, they do not need to be equipped on your character.
Square 17: A chromatic item must have its sockets of each color linked together.
Square 18: Accidental violations of this requirement are not disqualifying. Simply leave the zone and re-make the zone once the required level has been reached.
Square 20: Reminder that these requirements can be ignored while in towns or hideouts.
Square 24: This requirement is per-character. Each individual character may interact with Stashes and NPCs after defeating Hailrake, but not before. The goal is completed after the 4th character accomplishes this task. Not completing this challenge on a character does not prevent you from completing the challenge on additional characters later.
