I'm almost always keying or fighting, I only farm if someone wants me/needs me to. I do it because I don't want to turn this fc into a rushing fc.
This is the first time I've ever publically said that. I've never said it in fc.
And yeah, to the best of my knowledge, all non-skilling floors have been formed via pm lol. All I did was share an achievement we personally made, it had nothing to do with the fc really. >.>
As Tim said, the plan is to keep it that way. We're not trying to turn you guys into hardcore rushers, lol. Everyone sees a good floor time and *assumes,* "omfg rushers." That wasn't the case, watch the vid. :p
This is in the description of the vid: "This was/is not the dg4fun record. It is the kabde record. In dg4fun, we make armor/potions. In the kabde record (which wasn't the dg4fun record), we did not make those things because they're a waste of time and not necessary for survival. We choose to use dg4fun even after 120 because the floors are enjoyable. This was a result of several kabde floors WITH dg4fun that we intended to create a fast paced kabde floor without the use of skillers. This video is NOT for dg4fun, and is only intended to be viewed as a KABDE floor."
A few of the reasons that floor time was possible:
-Good team
-Good map layout (only ~32 required rooms, as in non-denk or not an empty space, something we had to clear, hence the -4 level mod) except for ghosts
-Everyone overloaded. This is easily one of the best things we can do in kabde. 125/99 all melee stats, including defense, and boosts you 500 lp when it wears off. So for 1/2-1/6 of the floor depending on how fast you go, you have 125 attack/str/def, 121 (122? idk) ranged and a higher magic level. That's boss, especially in kabde.

I appreciate the thought, Div, but as you know, that isn't actually the problem - simply an additional barrier to re-entry. It has both re-established a membership date for my forum avatar, which negates any point I try to make against the SoF, and potentially removed my chances to request such a re-instatement should Jagex ever magically decide to stop monetizing everything in sight, so it's probably not the best thing you could have done. However, the intentions were good, and it's unlikely Jagex will ever correct itself anyway, so there's probably no harm done, lol.
As far as skilling in floors - yes. Do it. Potions make the boss go much more quickly and safely, and armor saves a large amount of food and prayer, which is critical in a KABDE. In an abandoned floor where the entire point is to rush, these benefits aren't worth the time cost, but in an actual dg4fun floor, they are, at least to someone like myself with zero defensive binds. That's actually the reason I started doing KABDE - not because I like killing everything or think it's a good idea, but because clearing all the rooms, and the skilling we did, made floors survivable for me.
If I'm going to rush floor times, survivability won't be an issue anyway, but if I'm just trying to do a real floor, then yes, that skilling is essential. I would not be a part of dg4fun without it.

New rush record vid found - 5:53 large 13% dungeon, posted July 28th by Namyaila420.
No, I'm not advocating rushing. But just because I choose to train one way doesn't mean I don't appreciate the efforts people have put in training their method of choice.

Haha I was about to post it, turns out I didn't have to. :p
Namy and pretty much everyone but Kaine messed up a fair bit (bad apm, no desperado ring on boss), but aside from ghosts, that map was amazing. 50 rooms, curse boss, 5way with a lot of deadends... boss map.

Well done to them, shoulda had a lil better communication tho cus I believe Namy ended up wasted a fair bit of time running GT towards blau, which could have been avoided - at that point l2g would have known to mgt quite a bit sooner (that said, considering his path was 1way up until that moment it very well might not have made a difference). Still well done though, really incredible map as buff already pointed out.
Namy also almost got powned while doing that str door and was kinda lucky that it worked out lol. Prolly woulda made the dg a second or two slower overall if things had went differently. Pretty sure it still would have been sub6 tho.

5:53? Sorry, but wasn't the actual rush (non-KABDE) record 8 minutes or so? How are people killing everything on the map 2 minutes faster?
And why KABDE if you're doing that type of rush anyway? Why not just kill GDs and actually try to really minimize your floortime?
