Zelkas Runs and Campaign Rushes

  • Greetings!

    My main IGN is Alvs Zelkas, hence the title not matching my handle here. :p

    I'm addicted to popping IMS cons literally everywhere because the base movement speed is too damn slow and my heroes don't yell at me enough. Sadly, this is an expensive disorder and I need to support it, otherwise my growing mini Eye of Janthir collection will starve (do you even know what they eat?)

    So, I'm offering commissioned outpost runs/tours and prescheduled rushes. Current offerings and variations are organized below by campaign with prices and selected time estimates. Note that offerings may change -- I'm usually working on new stuff until it reaches a level of consistency at which I'd be willing to pay for it.

    Nightfall Campaign rush scheduled for: Monday, 26 May at 1100 CST

    • Inaugural rush -- 10% discount this time only
    • Please see details and pricing below, DM me if interested (see signature, Discord or GWL preferred).

    Some Preliminary Notes

    • I operate in the CST timezone (UTC-5) and am generally available from 1100-1800 CST. I can likely work something out if you need a run/rush in the 1800-2200 range. I do not schedule runs/rushes to start from 2300-0900 CST, but may consider doing so for a convenience fee depending on the exact request. Please inquire about those.
    • All prices are listed in ecto, but I'm happy to take certain alternatives listed in a small table at the bottom of this post. I will update that as market prices change.
      • All prices listed are per slot. I do not discount for single players commissioning a run for multiple accounts simultaneously unless you can fill at least 75% of the available slots -- in that case, we can negotiate a modest discount.
    • Payment is expected upfront for runs you intend to fully AFK any given run. For runs that cannot be AFK'd, payment is expected in 2-6 stages depending on length of run/rush. For runs that you choose not to AFK, payment is expected at a designated midpoint.
      • If we've worked together previously, I am willing to accept payment post hoc
    • I reserve the right to fill empty slots in three ways for commissioned runs/rushes (relevant if you realize you want another account in the same run on short notice):
      • Alliance/Discord/KTC advertising. I will do this 10-30 minutes before a run, at which point any open slots are released on a first-come, first-served basis.
      • Coordinating with other clients commissioning the same run; this will occur before any open-market advertising and then any remaining slots will be released as above
    • For the prescheduled NF rushes, I am open to adding a rush instance for you if your availability falls outside the time above times, but I reserve the right to request a convenience fee of 5-20% depending on the exact timing and whether the remaining slots can be filled.
    • For runs/tours, time estimates below are pessimistic -- that is, I assume everything that reasonably could go wrong does so. They should always come in faster (much faster in many cases -- such as the Desolation routes), but I'm not going to pretend I'll do every single run like a TAS record-setter. If someone in the group decides to AFK without TB skip enabled where relevant, things will obviously take a bit longer.
    • I generally do not do individual mission rushes. Still, if you need one you can feel free to inquire.
    • I do not vanquish, speedbook, or offer rep farming services.

    If you're interested, please message me here, on Discord, or in-game (see signature below). Discord or GWL are highly preferred to in-game messaging.
