  1. If you have materialism and you just completed your rainbow, it will boost the materialism on that same challenge so you don't have to wait until the next challenge to receive 2 chests instead of 1

  2. with gambling beast and materialism, you get your two chests before gambling ends your run

  3. you can still get whites after 80+ challenges

  4. The current record I've seen a light Gray been found is at 31 challenges, try to get them done before that

  5. You will NOT get your flying chests for the last challenge of a materialism run

  6. This one is common knowledge but not everyone knows, aqua, reds and greens only appear every 2 challenges

  7. Falling into the void in sky islands will result in "get back into a playable area". Failure to do so will end your lootrun, but doing /kill before the timer runs out will only take away 1 minute or take away a challenge and the minute if this happens during a challenge

  8. The astral commet slay challenge in sky islands gives no reward chest as it spawns in the room before you get warped out, you have no time to open it

  9. If your flying chests spawn in the wall, you can /class to have them respawn in a new location upon logging back in, (beware this will NOT work if you go too far away from the challenge upon finishing, you can tell because it will offer new beacons while the flying chests are up)

  10. This one's a simple one but not everyone knows it either, there are custom buffed mobs which only spawn if you are too high vertically in a challenge, these are called anti cheese mobs

  11. For the Donjon in sky islands, you don't actually need the keys to complete the cave, you can just follow the route here:

14.The bat cave in rodoroc has two different predetermined spawns, green dragons or bats. Green dragons are harmless but the bats will melt you with 3x the damage. Be alert

  1. There are chest caches hidden in lutho you can go to for some quick 3 star chests

  2. Lagging out and staying out of bounds in a slay challenge will end your lootrun

  1. If you just finished an aqua and you die by ANY means, the aqua effect will be LOST despite the new beacon choices being aqua coloured text
    Don't get mislead, those effects will NOT go into play

  2. Non vibrant Aqua boosting a non vibrant light Gray will always result in 5 mission choices despite being vibrant or not
    Though, plain light Gray will only offer 3 missions and plain vibrant light Gray will only offer 4 missions

  3. As of right now these interactions WILL harm your run:

The boon bad omen will take away one stage of that boon for every curse cleansed and WILL go into the negatives until that boon gets deleted or the run ends

Midas touch, for every boon you gain, get X effect. If you have ultimate sacrifice and it takes away a different boon that isn't the original Midas touch, it will make the original Midas touch lose one stage of its effect going into negatives

  1. If you do not have time left over after completing a challenge, gambling beast will NOT give a reroll
    Etc. Completing a challenge with only 4 minutes remaining and gambling beast takes away 5 minutes

  2. Try to clear the area before opening a chest, Mochisaur found mythic boots and got remaining stray bullets flying at then while opening and it closed the chest with the mythic Inside

  3. If you have "gain X time" missions, you can spam /kill outside of a challenge to eat some time to avoid waiting. (BEWARE DO NOT /KILL IF YOUR AQUA IS ACTIVE, YOU WILL LOSE THE EFFECT)

  4. Reds will not force over 100 challenges, neither will whites, that is the hard cap

  5. Sky islands is the only lootrun camp which has a different starting challenge cap at 12 challenges

  6. Slay challenges have a time limit for waves in case a mob gets bugged, they will automatically die or will be not considered part of the 'challenge' after a set time and will skip to the next wave

  1. Dexterity skill points and critical damage boons are REQUIRED to scale efficiently past 80ish challenges, an average curse stacked run will be too overwhelming for just raw damage increasing boons

  2. In rodoroc, there are geysers below shadow altar and bat cave which launches the player upwards to the cave's entrance, these save alot of time please use them

In addition to sky islands, they have clouds which launch the player upwards or diagonally

In addition to lutho, they have void holes that teleport you past caves blocked by barriers such as blind burrow

  1. Your lootrun level is shared across characters, don't have to worry about releveling

  2. Every week, sometime within the first day, each pool will have a set of uniques to legendaries and an LE prize pool. For some reason they either bug out or a Dev changes the pool and they are reassigned a new lootpool within the first day
    Mythics still stay the same.

  1. One sacrifice will save 50% of all your pulls, two sacrifices will save 75% of all your pulls

  2. When completing a challenge when over the 15 minute cap or during a red, the game will say you have gained +1s after the completion
    Dont be fooled, this is visual and will NOT reset your ultimate sacrifice timer

  3. I have gotten mythics from every single tier and type of chest besides a tier 1 chest, dont get your hopes up opening them

  4. In sky islands, the cave azurite island requires you to scale the tower to kill the red sheep, the main path is to scale in the middle and enter through the purple platform to kill the red sheep

If you choose to fly outside and up towards the boss room, that kill will NOT count towards the
challenge completion.

  1. The void slay challenge in sky islands is the only slay with two target mobs to my knowledge

  2. The cobwebs in the beanstalk slay challenge in sky islands is actually barrier’d off and you cant actually get stuck on them

  3. You can display the current mythic pool with nori using /item lootpool

  4. There is a hole above dragon delta’s entrace so you can land above and have an easier time getting into the cave

  1. Cleansing ritual activates after the challenge counter has gone up which is why you need a minimum of a 2 challenge buffer

  2. upon activating materialism, you will not gain the flying chests on that challenge

  3. upon activating cleansing ritual, it will immediately eat up a curse on the same challenge you activated it on if any curses are avaliable

  4. When taking red beacons with white beacon challenges leftover. The red challenges will take immediate priority and push the whites until a later time

  1. When you die or /kill, 1 minute will be taken from your timer. However it will add this one minute to your total time elapsed in the end stats despite 1 minute not being passed irl

I had a 1:40:00 run sky run when in reality it was actually a record being 1:35:00

  1. For Ovine spire in sky islands, you only need to touch the purple pad to be teleported into the boss room you can fall off afterwards and it will still teleport you

  2. If your run ends on a mission completion, that mission will not take effect on the end reward chest. E.g if you finished redemption on your last mission, it will not say mission completed but instead, lootrun complete

Therefore you will not get your +1 End reward sacrifice

  1. In skyshroom, you will constantly be hit with "incoming attacks". If you have materialism then make sure to wait and open your chests inside the blue chest room, this way you won't be hit trying to open them outside

  2. If you 360 off the roof above the sky islands loot chest, land on the log sticking out towards the void, run slowly towards the chest and shake your camera around while pulling, you will get a mythic

#

  1. You can still get boons which require getting offered yellow beacons to gain x buff on a MATERIALISM RUN
    Side note: completing the challenge and being offered the flying chests will NOT count
    The boon becomes useless and will never do anything

  2. Inner peace is bugged, it stops working if you ever class or switch servers and there is nothing you can do to fix it once it happens. This is patched in 2.1 (thanks @lofty jackal)

#

enjoy my life's research @lofty jackal

lofty jackal
#

Thanks

shell plover
#

thats all for now, thanks for reading

lofty jackal
#

I may have a few things to add I’m not sure

#

But I can definitely say that at least before lootrun update mythic from t1 is possible

#

I have gotten many times before

shell plover
#

Yea its probably possible

#

Im not gonna lie this thread might actually be useful

#

Alot of questions can be answered here

lofty jackal
#

Yes I think so too

#

Thanks for the information

#

It answered some of my questions as well

#

Oh by the way did you add the thing about inner peace not working if you class or switch servers

#

I forgot if I read that in your guide ir not

#

Or

shell plover
#

Nah I never did

#

But I should probably include my mission tierlist

#

You can write that point if you want

I’d argue with sac gambling beast is better than everything in S

shell plover
#

I’ll edit ur point into the original message so it doesn’t get lost

lofty jackal

#

I just got a 720 pull run in less than an hour with no sac

#

That is not b tier material

#

No way

shell plover
#

Idk if without sac it’s still that worth

#

Ig it could work

lofty jackal
#

It took me so short to get similar pulls as a good eq run in a third of the time

#

It’s better than eq with sacs

#

For me

S: eq, cleansing ritual, ult sac, gambling beast
A: High roller, redemption
B: orphions, materialism, stasis, backup beat
C: inner peace, cleansing greed
