Action Speed

Action Speed is a derived attribute, calculated from:

Action Speed = 100 + AGI / 3

Effects

Action speed translates into how long a 1.0x action (like an attack or Tier 1 elemental spell) by subtracting it from 300. As battle progresses and time units pass, some monsters with higher action speeds may perform an additional attack against the player. Conversely, a player who has accumulated enough time units due to their high action speed may take a turn to perform an additional action before the monsters are allowed their action.

Burden

Burden is a Compromise Statistic on equipment. Cloth armor has very little burden (Phase armor has none), while heavy plate armor has very high burden. Similarly, small weapons (like daggers) have low burden, while heavy weapons (such as maces) have very high burden. Higher quality equipment tends to have less burden than their lower quality counterparts. Every point of burden above 20 reduces action speed by one point.

Increasing Action Speed

Aside from increasing their AGI stat and wearing low-Burden equipment, a player can do certain things to increase their action speed/reduce their burden stat. These are:

• Use the spell Haste
  • Haste increases base action speed by 20 plus 2.5 points for every point of Supportive Proficiency, capped at +100 action speed at 200 proficiency.
• Unlock the X-Item and X-Attack abilities.
• Set their title to Destined.
