ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Alrighty, there are issues with this. Hoping to get some advice. I don't want to spoil the event for those who haven't partaken, but I have a VERY slow comp, with other issues in play (Fiddly net connection, at the moment, won't stay connected for longer then 5 minutes at best but that's a seperate issue.) Is this event even SUPPOSED to be managable for those with slower comps? (Every zone-loading sequence is at least 10-20 seconds for me, compared to other folks 2-3...), and lag from constant disconnections doesn't help.

I tried running a ghoul reaver, and got to the destination at about -10 to -20. (Didn't check right away, and took about 10 minutes to clear the VERY slow last level, with a giant vault on it.) I hit my starter, norgos lair, arena, and old forest... Had around 10 left when I finished Norgos.

What can I do (spoiler free, this is general forum, after all, plus I don't want the event ruined for me...) to up my chances?

Any particular build that would have a better chance at beating the clock?

Thanks in advance.

If you really want to see what happens, I suggest trying a character that can kill things really fast, like Archmage or Berserker. Can't think of anything else you can do, unless you know a way to get tome to run faster than it normally does.

I already picked up on the first part. I came by specifically to look for such an event. I figured there would at least be an achievement in it though, so I *MUST* complete it at least once. And with such a strict time limit (both on the clock, and on the calender) I must do it FAST.

Sadly, DarkGod didn't use my suggestion for an event on this calender date....

There's an achievement!?

*Runs ToME*

I was lucky. The event popped up on a character who had already cleared Old Forest, so all I had to do was finish the dungeon she was in, and then head back to Old Forest and look for the flower (no monsters bothering me).
