There are two distinct Speed statistics:

  • Speed w.png Weapon Speed refers to how long it takes to hit an enemy with a weapon.
  • Speed.png Player Speed refers to how fast the player moves.

Each can be affected in a variety of ways.

Speed w.png Weapon Speed

Weapon Speed refers to how long it takes to hit an enemy with a weapon, and how long it takes to recover before hitting again.

By default with +0 Weapon Speed, swords and daggers take 400 milliseconds[1] per action and clubs take 720 milliseconds[2] per action (equivalent to -8 buff). Slingshots take 300 milliseconds[3] per action and cannot be modified.

Each point of Weapon Speed reduces the time taken by 40 milliseconds,[4] meaning the maximum effective buff is +10 for swords and daggers. This also means that Weapon Speed has a significantly smaller effect on clubs because the total increase in damage per second (when striking continuously) is smaller as a percentage: a sword or dagger with +1 Weapon Speed is capable of 11% more damage per second, whereas a club with +1 Weapon Speed is only capable of 6% more damage per second. This difference is further magnified as the buff increases.

The player's movement speed buff (described below) is also applied to weapons,[5] and effectively stacks with the Weapon Speed buff. For example, a weapon with speed +2 would be just as fast as a weapon with speed +1 while under the effects of Coffee for an additional +1.

Forge

Weapon Speed can be increased further by using an Emerald at the Forge up to 3 times, for a maximum of +7 additional speed.

Some tools can similarly be enchanted using a Prismatic Shard to be 33% faster.

Speed.png Player Speed

Player Speed refers to how fast the player moves across the world.

The player's base speed is:

  • 2 when walking
  • 5 when running
  • 6.6 when riding a Horse

A variety of positive and negative Buffs can change the player speed, as detailed under Food and Drink and Buffs.

Speed is also affected by some terrains, but not when riding a horse.

Although terrain and/or debuffs may decrease a player speed, the speed is never decreased below 1.

Food and Drink

The following foods and drinks increase Player Speed. Only one drink-derived buff and one food-derived buff can be active at a given time, so +2 Speed is possible only if the +1 Speed from a drink (Coffee and Triple Shot Espresso) is stacked with the +1 Speed from one of the food items.

Coffee is available at The Stardrop Saloon every day for data-sort-value="300">Gold.png300g, but the other dishes may appear only randomly on Gus' menu.

Buffs

The following Buffs decrease or increase the Player Speed. All five of these special-effect buffs can be simultaneously active, and can stack on top of two +1 Speed buffs from food and drink.

Terrain

Three types of terrain can alter the player's speed, but only if the player is not riding a horse.

  • Flooring has a +0.1 Speed boost, but only when located outside on The Farm.
  • Grass has a -1 Speed penalty.
  • Crops have a -1 Speed penalty, but only if the player is running. Seeds do not count as crops.

Trivia

  • In theory, five speed-related buffs could be simultaneously active: three positive (maximum +4 Speed) and two negative (minimum -5 Speed).
