Ioan has done the tests and posted them somewhere on this board. I can't find it to sticky it but you can do a search. I have contributed to his testing and from his numbers the Varactyl is fasted runing and galloping but walking it is second fasted I believe, the second runner up to the varactyl is the bolotaur then the other mounts start placing next in the speed catagories. But look for his post and check it out for yourself. I don't think he ever added the bolotaur info that I tested for him but it comes in right after the varactyl.

Having spent quite some times in the Hunting Grounds with various mounts I would say varactyl hands down...

Found the post here

Click this shizzle

The info missing is the bolotaur speed which is as follows
Gallop 660
Run 489
Walk 312

So I was wrong, when it comes to gallop spats and kaadu are as fast as varactyls with makes the bolotaur the fourth fasteset gallop

Do you mean Ben Johnson or Carl Lewis by chance?

Anakin: Master, I think my lightsaber is getting dull. Its not doing nearly as much damage as it used to.
Obi-Wan: O.k. when we're done showing the youglings around the temple, we'll stop by the bazaar and you can buy a new crystal. I hope you've got a couple million credits saved up for this.
Anakin: WHAT?!!?? I don't have THAT kind of cash!
Obi-Wan: Well you could try sharpening it on these younglings. I've got a headache and all their questions are driving me NUTS!
Anakin: hmmm.... Sharpen my lightsaber on younglings...... hmmmmmm.....
Obi-Wan: uh, that was a joke Anakin. I'll spot you the cash for a new crystal THIS time, but next time you're on your own.

Stats stats stats. Just ride them. The giant spat IMHO is the fastest creature on the planet, and you dont even feel dizzy after getting off one. On the down side, it is one of the most ill-behaved pets with the current upgrade, wandering off, wont attack nests, has a mind of its own and needs fixin' . The lil ole cupa is no slouch either, but both seem to get involved in fights you didn't ask them to get involved in, even with guard off. I seldom ride a bike because I miss a lot of spawns that way, so I have rear end callouses to prove I have done some mount riding, a lot of it

The Bolataur is the most herky jerky ride on the plant, too large,and i would rather see the game than a bolataur's butt all day long.

Oddly enough, my BE falumpaset is pretty fast. It outruns just about every other mount and almost keeps up with a veractyl.

What's really strange is that if I try to gallop, the falumpaset goes at the same speed. So, either gallop is broken or the falumpaset always gallops by default... which would explain its extraordinary speed. If that's true, it is almost certainly not intended.

Is anyone else seeing similar issues with either gallop or level 10 BE falumpasets? They aren't very popular, but they make a good mount for an Ithorian.

Go to Tat and tame a lesser dewback, lvl 4...yes, lvl 4...stick fleetfoot on him...dont know if this really makes a difference but i've beaten several people racing while riding my dew against their varas...no nausea either...don't forget to add 1 lvl of vigorous health and thick skin or beastly const. on it...these little guys are pretty fast...my guildees all have them now and we make record time through the hunting grounds.

I just have to say, that I believe giant carrion spats were always this ill-behaved. I remember taming these dirty animals two years ago and they never listened toa thing I said. That's why you have to love them Gensei...

According to the sticky the Varactyl is fastest running and walking and the birds catch up in the gallop, since you can't always gallop I'd say the day of the birds is gone.

I think I've read recently on these forums that fleet footed was tested and does not change the speed of mounts but instead changes the speed at which your pets keep up with you or rush in to attack. I wish it worked for mounts, though

Can anyone else verify?
