Just started Oz

Just started Oz and its pretty fun ! The jumping puzzle is easy once you memorise it and I want something to compare to so I'd like to ask you people that do Oz and get pretty high:
How long does it take you to get to floor 10? Still havent gotten to 10 with a 9 minute pill so it takes me more then 14 minutes to get to 10
How long does it take you to get to floor 40?
I have around 350k buffed, Are there any floors I cant do? Besides 50 of course. (This one is kinda important because I dont wanna get to a high floor just to see its impossible cuz im too weak)
When do you start fighting the "Guardians"
And finally when are the worthwhile rewards?

@Buster1651:
Unlocking:
1st=default (already unlocked)
2nd slot=turn off cutscenes by telling alicia you don't need her help and go into 1f, clear 1f, go into 2f, leave without completing 2f. Collect/open the rank 10 box and you should get an average of 1 Oz point pouch for every 2 box you open. That's the fastest way to unlock this slot. (<1 hour but note that you need to clear 10f at least once to unlock this).
3rd slot=Get as far as possible (try to buy a tower boost ring) but as a new runner, I would recommend that you get up to 22f and use this as 22f practice while farming points. If 22f is too easy then aim for 35f. (<1.5 hours)
4th slot=New runner should get to 35f comfortably, experienced/fast learner should get to 42f+. (<three hours)
5th slot=With 4 slots, you can get to 42f comfortably and be able to practice 42/43f. Start taking notes for 43f. Veteran players can practice 48/49f on this until they unlock the last to attempt dorothy. (<5 hours)

[quote=Rachelll]For a veteran runner (kanna-less)
2 pill slot=35f
3 pill slot=42f
4 pill slot=dorothy
on casual solos.
The only thing that can possibly prevent you from moving further along/matching a veteran is probably 14f/22f/42f/43f/47f/48f/50f....I only included 14f because I know someone that just can't shoot to save their life
*cough* @akatsukidark

Btw, there are various Oz runners in different servers that do very serious runs w/ maps kishin'd. Try to contact them and find out the channels that are kishin'd so you can do a faster run.[/quote]

Can I ask how you unlock more slots? At the moment im only on one soo

With experience and a strong party, you can make it to 10F in under 10-15 minutes (stage 9 is all luck). What you should aim for in a solo run is 1 rest stage for every red pill, excluding the first rest stage (so 1 pill = 15F, 2 pills = 25F, 3 pills = 35F). It gets harder to sustain a solo run as you keep going so you can expect to fall a little behind.

At 35F you want to aim for 60+ minutes left if you wish to clear 50F

30F might be a challenge as the cowardly lion does have quite bit of HP. The only other one I can think of right now is 47F.

The guardians are at 10F, 20F, 30F, 40F, and 50F.

You can get decent rings from rank 5 boxes, but most people consider only rank 1 and 2 boxes (46-50F, 41-45F) boxes to be valuable as they contain Ryude's sword and Ultimatum ring. 30F and 40F bosses drop the Aquarius Crown (22 slot hat).
