Some pulls, class skills, no food, sidekick at 9

With this set-up I've been able to do a 7 day run. Under those restrictions, you can wait 3 days before actually playing a turn. Obviously you want everything as soon as possible, but you can put off, say, an Embossed emblem because with the level requirement there are other things you can get more immediate use of.

Day 1-3 - Talisman. No matter which one it is, day 1 is the day to pull it and equip it.

Transportation. This a "pull and forget" kind of thing. A Lexura will open up all quest areas.

General equipment. The insanely helmet gives the most XP bang (when the +FT is factored in), followed by the Viking Jersey (since the shotgun has a level requirement). Mummers' gloves will speed up quests. Bicycle shorts offer -time and and stay Level-relevant with their different forms. Throwing stars aren't necessary, but will make most combat pretty academic. A Hero's Cape or Wolley's Index could help with swipe cards... If you're a non-Elemental, you may also want the skullcap; it's possible you'll hit Level 6 before decrypting all the swipe cards, and the skullcap will allow you to keep wearing your other pulled equipment.

A computer. With 3 days of turns banked, you ought to be able to get into or finish the Level 5 quest if you have one of these to pull. And if you haven't prepared software to pull in advance, you might as well take personal copy of the internet while you're at it. If you have prepared some software, pull Garcia's Traffic Avoider.

Gold coin. You'll be gaining Levels faster than you can pay for them in-run, so this will keep you from stopping your quest progress unnecessarily.

You won't be able to play all the turns you've built up and those added by Leveling, so you'll have quite a bit to work with on the fourth day. I've been able to get pretty far into the Level 8 quest by the end of this day, so that suggests some pulls if they haven't been pulled previously...

Day 4 - Roderick's Boots. You'll want to unlock the Rooftops so you can use Quincy's rental coupon. If you're brave, you may also want to grind at the Rooftops. Spoiler alert: I'm not brave. Also, you're likely to get a bunch of non-XP gaining choice adventures, so it might be better to grind at the Docks instead.

Sneakiers. They'll help speed up quests and Cube grinding.

Any other general equipment that may not have made the previous days' cut.

After this, there's another lull; one day won't be enough time to finish, so you might as well hold out for two so you have more pulls to work with in the turns you have to spend. At the end of day 6, you should be close to Level 11 or partway through the Level 11 quest.

Day 5-6 - Atmos Spear. Flying will speed up part of the Level 10 quest, and this is a source of the ability you don't need passable pilot for.

Rolled Doll dahl. If you haven't had the chance to pull it already, it'll reduce the time grinding in the Cube.

combat paperclip and/or swingline stapler. If you get to that point in the quest and haven't gotten the appropriate drops, pull them so you don't have to wait. If you do get them to drop, you might as well pull TNT instead to make the Mick fight go smoother.

Day 7 - TNT.

Some pulls, no skills, caffeine, sidekick at 9

This set-up allows much faster runs, but a faster run means fewer pulls. Meaning that you have a lot less leeway with each pull you make, and on top of that you'll have to pull most of your caffeine so you're even more restricted in your other pulls. I've been able to do one of these in four days, which means 20 pulls. Of those, you'd want 6 of them to be Brays to maximize turns... plus highly recommended pulls like a computer, Atmos Spear, Roderick's Boots, a gold coin, Transportation, and a non-basic Talisman... and you're looking at around just 8 pulls that are left to some kind of choice.

Day 1 - Grimm's Bulwark, Lexura, bicycle shorts, insanely... helmet, and Viking Games jersey

With the turn count caffeine will give you, banking turns just isn't as practical. However, you probably won't be able to reach a level that'll allow you to down the best caffeine on day 1, so this will be the only day you don't have Brays to pull. This means that you should pull whatever +XP stuff you want now, along with the usual Talisman and Transportation. The idea is to adventure until you have enough chips (probably via The Arsonist) that you can buy 22 Gingerelle/ette at the Black Market. 12 for that first day, and another 10 to cap off your caffeine limit after Brays for the rest of the run. Obviously, this only works if the Market is selling them that particular day.

Day 2 - Mummers' gloves, gold coin, positronic computer, Bray energy drink (x2)

As before, the gloves speed up quests, the coin lets you buy whatever levels you need, and the computer is needed for the Level 5 quest, which you can finish on day 2. I was able to comfortably hit Level 6 in this time... but if you don't, you can always substitute a Bray with Mister Tea (or better yet, you might be able to buy them from the Market and use the pull for something else) to get whatever extra boost you might need.

Day 3 - Atmos Spear, sneakiers, Garcia's Traffic Avoider, Bray (x2)

This day could see you go from the Bay all the way to the start of the Cube. With that in mind, the spear allows you to use the Quincy coupon, you will get more out of the +chips now rather than later, and Call Lightning can be effective against the Octotron if you lack an effective damage-dealing spell. The other two non-Brays are there, as usual, to speed up quests and grinding at the Cube. I'm recommending Garcia's rather than a Rolled Doll dahl because you may have other items for the offhand slot, but the computer is otherwise doing nothing.

Day 4 - Bray (x2), TNT (x2), Roderick's Boots

You'll need the boots during the Level 11 quest. Other than that... I suppose if you're braver than me you could sub out the TNT for paperclip/stapler if necessary, but you may be better served farming them. After hitting The Mick with whatever TNT you've got, bear in mind that you still have Call Lightning at your disposal should you need it.
