Movement Speed

Movement Speed is a measure of how fast you can move. Higher movement speed allows you to get from point A to point B quicker, and use less stamina in the process. Your Weight Weight will also affect your movement speed. If you are carrying too much weight, it will slow you down and even stop you completely. Leveling up movement speed will increase it by 1.5%.


Increasing[]

The following information applies to Humans.

Movement speed is expressed as a percentage, and its original value is 100%.

Leveling up movement speed will increase it by 1.5%. For example, the first time you level it up, it will go from 100% to 101.5% (except on Mobile, where it will go from 100% to 106%).

On Mobile, the first time movement speed is leveled up it will increase by 6%. The second time it will increase by 4%. From the third time onward, it will increase by 2%. If you level up a stat other than movement speed, movement speed will be increased by 0.1%.

Leveling up movement speed increases both your walking and sprinting speed. Points spent in Movement Speed also increase swimming speed by 1.2%. This benefit is cumulative with any swimming speed bonuses from your Oxygen stat.

Notes[]

  • To calculate the absolute speed of a creature, look up its base speed, and multiply that by its Movement Speed factor.
  • Amphibious creatures' movement speed only affects their speed on land, not in water. Level up Oxygen Oxygen(if applicable) to increase swimming speed instead.
  • Both wild and tame creatures are unaffected by naturally boosted speed stats, although they do benefit from points put in to speed via leveling.
  • Some attacks, such as a Spider's web attack or a Dilophosaur's poisonous spit, can slow you down.
  • Eating Focal Chili Focal Chili will temporarily increase your movement speed.
  • After Patch 256, flying mounts are unable to have their movement speed increased. On Mobile, the movement speed of flying mounts can still be increased.
  • After Patch 259, you gain 1.5% Movement Speed instead of 2% per skill point.
  • Shadowmane's buff roar increases speed.
