Speedrunners keep pushing Legion Remix leveling strategies, and a new 10-80 record has been set.
The latest run took 6 minutes and 27 seconds, cutting 48 seconds off the previous record.
Shortly after we posted Harldan’s 7-minute run (which required months of planning), another speedrunner posted a different strategy. This approach used no raids, but did rely on help from others for sharding.
An Old Strategy Speedrunners Have Been Using
After collecting their artifact weapon and enabling Heroic World Tier, the runner received a teleport to Shield’s Rest in Stormheim.
From there, they enabled 
Flight Style: Steady to easily and quickly fly between areas to collect XP while others killed Tormented Skysunders in the area. It’s been a popular strategy for speedrunners, and earlier record attempts using similar setups have reached times around 23 minutes.
Once the mobs were killed, the runner would be removed from the party and join another, swapping to a new shard to avoid respawn downtime. The new shard would have all the mobs alive already.
Is Further Optimization Possible?
Six minutes is already pushing the boundaries of how fast you can level. In his 7-minute record run, Harldan said that with further optimization, it might have been possible to hit 5 minutes. Harldan won’t be attempting it again, but could someone develop a new strategy, or optimize an existing one, even further? Will we see a sub-5-minute time before the end of Remix on January 19th?
