    if only there was a way to guarantee the party would spawn in a central location to divide the map evenly for every run...

    Updates:
    - suggested bon pathing marked as WIP after some testing. #3 and #4 sections need some rework
    - geist rog is apparently immune to paralyze too, removed paralyze from suggested mage skills

    PSA: if you're a NL and solo spawn in a top corner, please don't abandon the top corners to go top mid. Even if top mid is empty, it's easier for people to climb up to top mid than it is to top corners. And if you FJ top mid, at least FJ back to your original spot after clearing top mid instead of hijacking other people's boxes elsewhere in the map. The NL I just APQed with, you know who you are :).

    I'm quite surprised that no one has listed the finitely many possibilities for Stage 3... unless I missed it somewhere? Given the typical approach, the possibilities for the bottom row are
    • 22221 - stand on platforms that spawn two slimes.
    • 33322 - stand on platforms that spawn three slimes.
    • 44333 - stand on platforms that spawn four slimes.
    • 44444 - top row doesn't move, eventual clear.
    • 11111 - All down
    along with their distinct permutations. As you state in the guide, you can shorten the number of attempts, i.e. most of the time it is unnecessary to check all five platforms. For example, 22221 may appear as 21, or 33322 may appear as 2333, and 44333 may appear as 443.. etc.

    You are missing B3 here, which will complete the list of "every possible combination".

    Apologies if this is mentioned elsewhere, but I could not find it through skimming. Nice guide.

    Edit: I forgot to include 11111 in the list.

    good catch, added B3 :)

    I briefly touch on it here:
    I will clarify this section more when I get a chance, thanks for your input!

    My apple farming days on this server are over so this guide will no longer be updated (not that there are ever any groundbreaking updates to apq kek). Thanks to everyone that I’ve apqed with who don’t randomly afk, haste without being asked, and are considerate to their party members in bonus... may the orchards be wet for you :love:

    Hi there, great guide you have created.
    Just one thing.
    Can you add ss showing tele at boss stage.
    Sometimes I pq with first timers and they were struggling climb up to reach npc.
    Some only took 30sec-1min but some took 10mins or even more

    Should it be better to make the bottom right hit right half and bottom left hit left half. The picture looks confused for the bottom spawn.

    I tried doing it my way, you can get all boxes in the last sec.
    if you get a better img you can share it.
