Note

• There are no level restrictions. Monsters in the zone will aggro you under normal circumstances.
• You may only attempt to complete the same level course once per Vana'diel day.
• The smile helpers will give you flee effect when spoken to.
  • You can not receive flee again from the same smile helper.
• Leave enough smile helpers between checkpoints so that you don't lose your flee effect. This is very important if you want the fastest time.
• If you do not arrive at the smile helper before your flee effect wears off (30 seconds), they will sometimes not give you flee again until you have reached the next smile helper.
  • You do not have to beat the fastest time, only the initial smilebringer fastest time.
  • If you lose the flee effect your chances of completing the run within the initial smile bringer fastest time are nil.
• You can use the Flee effect given by smile helpers (from previous runs) to get a head start on your next run. All movement speed enhancing abilities and spells and gear do take effect.
• Advanced run tip: Troubadour Mazurka and/or THF Flee macros help alot.
• There is no extra reward for beating all 3 fastest times of each tier. Repeated attempts give basic rewards.
• Two of the NPCs in Advanced areas will move, but will still be targetable and within range of the marker.
