Regarding Speed tapes...


I had read somewhere in here that at Polearm Speed 90 (+15 from tapes), a 4.5 speed LVA would swing at 1 sec with specials. This wrong?

Speaking of Speed: Could someone explain how to calculate your actual speed with a weapon ?


example :


Speed +50


LVA Base Speed 3.0 ... final speed ???

VL Base Speed 3.2 ... final speed ???


Any formula would help


Thanks a lot !

Thanks for the input everyone!


I've copied all of these into a word file and have began sorting through it. Will be working on this for a few days at least but I'll get it out soon!


Thanks!

Daros and aerendor, I posted the speed formula in the FAQ that used (?) to be stickied up top. It is:


final_delay = special_delay_multiplier * weapon_delay * (100 - speed_bonus)/100


Our slowest special delay is 2.5.


So for your example, daros: +90 polearm speed and4.5 polearm= speed cap autoattack / 1.125 max w/specials (You need +91.11 (basically 92) to hit the speed cap on a 4.5 polearm)


For your question, aerendor:

+50 speed and 3.0 LVA = 1.5 spd auto / 3.75 max w/specials

+50 speed and 3.2 VL = 1.6 auto / 4 max w/specials

Many thanks, Antares. Makes a lot more sense to me now.

You need to be grouped with something to get 3932 xp from each savage quenker. Also, VERY rarely a "terrible quenker" will spawn, and it gives 4118 xp.



I grouped and got over 3900 xp per kill earlier tonight. Thanks for the tip, though. It beats the pants off of the 3100 xp I had been getting. I'm 4/3/4/4 now, and will hit master today wooooooooot.





Cleaning up my silly posts is all I'm doing.

Well first off i don't post much on the forums but i figured i would post here cause the guide you guys have created helped me a ton.


With the guide it only took me 2.5 days to go from novice Pikeman to Master Pikeman. I killed Savage Quenkers like you guys said and i was grouped with an AT-ST so i was getting 5 of then to spawn at a time. I also had my main out there to buff me, and give me brandy as needed. The pike i used was a Long Vibro Axe. stats were 168-579 (not sure if min is right) speed was 4.4, i ended up useing about 400 condition on it and it was the only weapon that i used. I also used Ubese armor and luckey for me my brother regnor make armor so it was free


Let me say i loved this profession so much that I am going to be doing it with my mian. Thank you guys so much for the help.
