Speed

From Stardew Valley Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

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 take 400 milliseconds[1] per action and clubs take 720 milliseconds[2] per action (equivalent to -8 buff). Daggers are much faster than swords. 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, though the practical performance limit may be lower (maximum effective buff of around +4 for swords or +12 for clubs).

This also means that at first, 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 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. As buff increases, swords hit the practical performance limit faster, and clubs continue improving with higher buff.

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).
