Running

“	Victory or even survival often goes to the swiftest. Master of the chase, Kenaryn first taught the Elves and Centaurs how to quicken their pace through practice and careful exercise. With work, you can become as fleet as a falcon.	”

The Numbers

Run speed is calculated by units per second. The base run speed for all characters is 13.97, except Centaurs, which have 19.39.

Run Speed Modifiers

Base run speed can be enhanced in a number of ways.

• Windlords boots: 0.05 increase
• Running skill: 0.25% increase per percentage point (e.g. 150% Running becomes 0.375, or equivalent to a 37.5% speed increase)
• Run buffs: These short-duration buffs increase speed by a flat percentage (50% runbuff = 0.5)

Run Speed Formula

(Base Speed) * (1 + Speed Modifiers Total)

Example

A Human Thief with windlords boots, a 50% run speed buff, and 100% running skill.

Run Speed = (13.97) * (1 + .15 + .5 + .25) = 26.543

Therefore, this example character runs at 26.543, or 48% faster than the base run speed.

Run Speed Cap

The run speed cap is 41 units per second.
