Speed

Revision as of 03:42, 23 April 2023 by Cooperka (talk | contribs) (explain how movement speed also buffs weapon speed)

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. 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.

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.

 Emerald Ring Increases weapon speed by 10%. Purchase from Adventurer's Guild after reaching level 40 in The Mines data-sort-value="5000"> 5,000g data-sort-value="300"> 300g

Forge

Weapon Speed can be increased further by using an Emerald at the Forge up to 3 times, for a maximum of +5 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"> 300g, 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.

Image Name Effect Cause Duration
  Adrenaline Rush   Speed (+2) Killing an enemy while wearing a Savage Ring   3s
  Slimed   Speed (−4) Being hit by a Slime   2.5-3s
  Tipsy   Speed (−1) Consuming alcohol (Beer, Mead, Pale Ale, or Wine)   30s
  Burnt   Attack (-3)  Defense (-3)  Speed (-2) Being hit by a Magma Sparker   6s
  Frozen   Speed (-8) Being hit by a Skeleton Mage   2s

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).
