Avatar's Movement on Foot
The quickness of the avatar's movement on foot is described by 3 variables:
- Movement Speed (also known as Move Speed)
- Move Rate
- Current Speed
Movement Speed (also known as Move Speed)
- Movement speed (called "movement" on the paper doll stats) is a baseline measure of how fast you could move if you were to do a standard run on foot (the default hotkey for a standard run is single press and hold of the W key, when in run mode). : Note that this number does not show your current movement speed; it shows your potential movement speed if you were to run in the absence of movement rate modifiers (such as encumbrance or Lavalliere of the Lagomorph).
Move Rate
- Move rate is a modifier (multiplier) that is applied to the movement speed, and is shown on the paper doll as the % in the parenthesis next to the "movement" number.
Current Speed
- SOTA also keeps track of a variable called "Current Speed", which is a measure of your current movement pace (how fast you are actually moving at a given time). However, the "current speed" number is not accessible via the standard SOTA user interface (but it can be seen with some player-created tools, such as Companion of the Avatar).
- When moving on foot, the formula to calculate "current speed" is:
- Current Speed = movement speed x move rate
- For example, let's say an avatar has a baseline movement speed of 6.9 with a 140% move rate. When this avatar runs, the current speed would 9.6 (6.9 movement speed x 1.4 move rate = 9.6).
Going into Combat Stance will decrease current speed by approximately 10% (going into Combat Stance does not directly effect Movement Speed or Movement Rate, so you will not see a change in either of those stats).
Avatar's Movement When Mounted
When mounted, you can move at either of the following speeds.
- Mounted Gallop - the standard speed, which seems to be determined by Mounted Speed.
- Mounted Sprint - a faster speed, which seems to be determine by Mounted Sprint Speed. This mode can be activated by rapidly double-tapping the "W' and then holding down W key.
The exact way the movement stats are applied for mounts is unknown. However, the following observations have been made:
- When you mount a house, only the Movement Speed on your paper doll will change (the move rate remains unchanged).
- When you perform a mounted sprint, the Movement Speed on your paper doll will increase (compared to then you are in a gallop).
The following skills/items increase the Mounted Speed
- Mounted Proficiency
- Mounted Speed Focus
- Supple Gloves or Riding - the tool-tip on these gloves always says +0 Mounted Speed, which I think is a bug where the interface is taking the small buff and rounding to the nearest whole number (which is zero). But it has been confirmed that these gloves do add a small buff.
The following items can increase mounted speed
