Quickness
To have Quickness is to be fast as fuck, boy twice as fast as your peers, in more ways than one:
Your Combat Speed is twice as fast.
You generate twice the Fatigue every combat round.
Your Attack Rate is twice as fast.
-
These perks come alongside a +2 boost to Attack (ATT) and Defense (DEF), the former of which is quite rare.
How do you get Quickness?
Quickness is a Water Buff:
The
Bless gives it to you, though that requires
10 and
1 on your
Pretender.
Three alarmingly-cheap
Alteration spells give it to you for combat;
Quicken Self at
Research Level 2,
Quickness (AOE 1) at Level 4, and
Quickening (AOE 9+) at Level 8. The first one requires
1, the second requires
2, and the third one requires
2 and
1.
Several
Items, notably all of the (unmodded) Arena prizes, provide Quickness.
Temporary Quickness is generally preferred over permanent Quickness, due to the doubled rate of Aging. Quickness also doesn't boost the rate of Spellcasting.
This is NOT Swiftness, which is similar but only affects running speed. On the other hand, these stack.
