    Does anyone know how travel speed is calculated?
    My questions are
    • what is initial travel speed - is it 50% or 100%
    • what % is travel speed with normal mount?
    • what % is travel speed with epic mount?
    • are all travel % added on top of each other no matter if they come from skills, mount, gems or enchantments
    • or are some % multiplied like the attack speed from weapons.
    I could imagine that travel speed enchantments from boots or from mount might be multiplied and not just added :confused:

    If anyone knows how travel speed is calculated, please provide an example like below
    1. basic player with no skills, items, mounts, etc... has xx 100% travel speed which is equivalent to 10 kph (kilometers per hour)
    2. adds boot with +10% running speed, now has 110% travel speed ~ 11 kph
    3. drops boots, mounts normal mount, now has 185% travel speed ~ 18,5 kph
    4. boots (10% ts) + normal mount = 195% ts ~19,5 kph
    5. boots (10% ts) + epic mount = 210% ts ~21 kph
    6. ... (you see where I'm going)

    Does anyone have this info - apart from guessing?

    Thanks in advance :)

    Depends on how far you run each day and how much more you push yourself everyday.

    Do you use a treadmill?
    Do you walk sometimes, jog, run?
    Do you walk your dragon/horse/pig, etc?

    These are the relevant facts to your questions. :p

    Simple, you have a base speed of 1 and the the percentages are additive. If you have +20% speed, you have 1.2 travel speed. If you add an epic mount into it, you'd be going 2.2 (+120%). This is actually the easiest of things to calculate when compared to damage bonuses from AK, weapon enchantments, armor/set enchantments, +% damage talent tree... etc.

    P.S. Normal mount is 80%.

    Btw, Are there any speed breakpoints with the travel speed similar to the attack speed? I have actually seen noticeable downgrade of speed with just 3% lost. From 1.48 to 1.45 Idk how to test it out.

    Thanks for reply.

    So my example above is in fact spot on :)
    Some time ago I asked in the forums (cannot find post now) about the speed difference between normal mount and epic mount, and IIRC the conclusion was 15% (85%/100%).

    Are you sure about the 80% on normal mounts?
