A Speed Test

osama · 02-18-2005, 12:24 AM

Preamble: I want to find out how the effect of the different run buffs works out in conjunction with eachother and where the threshold for runspeed lies. To do this I am running a predefined distance, between the entrance of the nektulus forest, by commonlands, up to the second bridge, then down again. As a level 36 fury I have 2 runbuffs, MoH is the Mark of the Hunt, a tiny group runbuff that does a lot of other things aswell. SoW is the Spirit of the Wolf, known to any priestclass. I am also equiped by the Journeyman Boots and a horse whistle (Misty Mustang.) For this test I am doing my best to stick to the road, following it like a racecar driver would drive (cutting corners, but sticking onto the road). Here are the results in minutes:seconds:No buffs: 6:07MoH: 5:55SoW: 5:05Journeyman Boots: 5:31SoW+MoH: 4:52Misty Mustang: 4:36Misty Mustang+SoW+MoH: 4:35Misty Mustang+SoW+MoH+Journeyman Boots: 4:35MoH+SoM+Journeyman Boots: 4:33Misty Mustang+SoW+MoH+Journeyman Boots+2xSprinting: 4:27MoH+SoM+Journeyman Boots+2xSprinting: 4:26This isn't really science and you should calculate in 3-4 seconds for inprecise results since I'm not running in a straight line. Still the result from this test is interresting (IMHO anyway.) It seems that speed reaches the ceiling at 4:35 minutes and running fully buffed with journeyman boots give approximately the same speed as just using the horse.To bad I didn't do this test before the patch, it would have been interresting to see the difference.

Nice test, although I'd *really* suggest finding a straight line you can just turn auto-run on for, for any future ones.

just look at the main character HUD window, I forget the command to open it but It lists how everything stacks togeater

/open_window HUD.Character does it for me.

/open_window HUD.Character

I can't get that to work. Is there a typo?

mainHUD not HUD

Well, HUD works too

I think it would be nice if they made cheetah last a bit longer than 30 seconds. Or at least turn the timer down from 5 minutes to 2.
