Power Hour - A diablo 2 mini game

I had about an hour before I had to get ready for work one day and I was trying to figure out what I could do with this time. I have not played D2 in awhile (shortly after 1.13) and decided to create a little mini game to play. Power Hour is a mini game where you see how far you can get in the game in exactly one hour. I have to admit, it really makes that hour fly by and it is really intense when your time is almost up and you are trying to accomplish one more quest. Give it a try and let me know how far you get.
Power Hour:
How to play -
1. You must play the game in single player or by yourself on battle.net
2. You have exactly one hour to play the game.
3. Get as far as you can (quests, level, experience, waypoints, distance)
4. Report how far you made it in the hour.

My best run so far:
Class: Assassin
Skills: Claw mastery, Tiger strike, burst of speed
Level: 10
Exp: 58,975
Quests completed: Den of Evil, Sister's Burial Grounds, The Search for Cain, The Forgotten Tower, Tools of the Trade and Sisters to the Slaughter
Distance: I was fighting Radament when my time ran up (Level 3 Sewers). I also got all but two of the waypoints in Act 1.
|||I think this might be more fun if you started from further along than A1 Normal on a new char....so much of that first part is just grinding up and getting lucky on gear drops and picking the right direction to go. Also, any class that has a good first-tier skill will have the advantage vs a class that doesnt get good skills till L18 or L24
Maybe do it starting at L24 or L30 from the beginning of NM, I think you'll see a lot more difference in how far along you can get depending on your own skills, not just dumb luck :)
